Reviews
I like the simple lay out of the website, it's easy to navigate and the information is all there. It's good to see examples of the work done and these are varied in style which shows that you can do a variety of types of work. A couple of the examples are fuzzy so you can't see them well but this may be deliberate to avoid the contents being viewed.
What I don't see particularly is a Unique Selling Point. - the simplicity and low cost is good but as there are so many web site design companies out there, what is it about this one that makes it the company of choice? Perhaps something a bit more personal about Debbie and her experience or making more of the low cost, simplicity and high quality would set it apart from the others.
A1 IT Web Design provided a first class service in the creation and production of my company website. At all times they were very attentive to timelines and detail and provided an excellent customer service. They were very easy and pleasant to work with, keeping me involved at every step and giving frequent feedback on progress. Very importantly to me they provided a complete service, not just designing the site but getting it up and running as well. They made the entire process remarkably hassle free.
I looked at a large number of similar companies before deciding on A1, initially because A1 looked to provide the best value for money (which they did) but I beleive that they ultimately also provided a better total service than many of the other companies reviewed.
I have no hesitation at all in recommending A1 IT Web Design.
