I would highly recommend Absolute Creative Marketing and am extremely pleased with our new website.
They were easy to communicate with and always on hand on the telephone or via email with any web developments and queries. They spoke to us largely jargon free and always explained terms and processes coherently. We were very much part of the web development process and they accommodated our requests as much as possible; if anything wasn't appropriate or viable they would advise us straight away and recommend alternatives. We were frequently provided with web visuals for approval.

The Website Designer showed us previous work and working with what we wanted from the web page designed a site above and beyond our expectations.
Each stage of the web page development was shown to us and changes were made if necessary ( in our case only one). The web page information was explained thoroughly and no jargon was used.
We were amazed by the final result and would recommend the company to anyone.

From the first proof to the finished website i was 100% happy with the service they provided. Even though they designed the initial layout for the website, i was still involved with the build and i was still able to input my own ideas.

Through every process of the website build they emailed me proofs, i was able to check and change anything i needed to with no problems at all. They speak in language you understand and offer a very professional and friendly service.

They also designed a flash movie to the website. This was exactly what we wanted and it could not have fitted in with the business any better.

Overall a very, friendly and professional service. I would recommend to anyone. Check out the website, that says it all!!!

We had a very positive and professional relationship with excellent communication
We worked with them to build a new website. they took on board our requests and also said if they felt they would not work or how we could adapt them to suit our needs
We had total involvement in the project - totally led by our organisation
The web team were easy to deal with and they left out all tech jargon and make us feel at ease
Our financial outcome was more than achieved - we're very happy
yes, they gave us so much time - so many hours far exceeded our expectations and they have a genuine interest in our project
any complications were dealth wity quickly and professionall and immediately
this is a young dynamic company with people who care. We selected then as they did not impose themselves - others tried to give us what they think we wanted - but these guys gave us what we needed - they have a great future in Gloucester.

Absolute were approached to look after the re-branding of my business. This included change of name, developing web site with on line shop, all stationary and advertsing, no small task!
Absolute gave alot of time, energy and enthusiam to this task and delivered a result that exceeded my expectation.
I was kept involved with all of their thoughts and ideas along with mine being listed to, which led to an excellent working relationship.

Absolute were always willing to listen to our ideas and develop them. If we wanted something changing or re-styling it was never an issue unlike some other agencys we've used.
We are over the moon with the final website and have recommended Absolute to several other companys already!

My web designer was flexible about diary slots, and could usually find time to meet me, even at short notice. They were helpful and had extra advice that I did not expect, as part of the overall package - so better value for money than I'd initially thought it would be. They honoured their original quote for me - as prices had increased a little since then - which I really appreciated.

They were empathetic to my needs, as a start-up business - but also as a person 'with a life'. Friendly, helpful and laid back at the same time.

After our initial meeting I went away with some actions and a clear layout plan, and lots of ideas about possible URLs. I then left it hanging and took my time to get back in touch.

After much patience on Absolute's part, I got a gentle email reminder that asked me when they might expect to receive my words and images.

Thus, my enthusiasm re-kindled they encouraged and guided me towards getting my site finished - smoothly, and way faster than I'd imagined possible.

Absolute Creative Marketing were clear: I knew at every stage what was expected (of me) and what to expect (of them). GREAT COMPANY, and fantastic value for money!
