Interview
WWDC:
Describe your company in 5 words.
adamantean web design:
”Lively, Experienced, No-Nonsense, Friendly, Helpful”
WWDC:
Where do you see your company in 10 years time?
adamantean web design:
”Probably in a very similar situation to the one we're in now. We're happy with the size of the company. We tried hiring in staff before and having hundreds of sites to build at once but it was a nightmare. We like things the way they are now and our size, along with the amount of work we take on each year suits us perfectly.”
WWDC:
How was your company name chosen?
adamantean web design:
”We did start off in 1998 as Net Knights but as many people pointed out this sounded a little..how can we put this..wrong... so we grabbed a dictionary, saw Adamantean, found it mean impenetrable or robust and we liked it.”

Whilst the site manly used for informational purposes, the site was developed with some ecommerce functionality to enable customers to book their tickets online and have them delivered straight to their door. Other functionality developed for the site includes self managed event listing, self managed festivals page as well as a booking management and ticket sales system.

Reviews
We commisioned Adamantean to design a multiple page website for our Architectural Practice and set up our various email accounts. It was very refreshing to work with such dedicated professionals who were always at the end of the phone to take our calls and guide us through the procedures.
The one to one meetings I personally had with Derek Smith gave me a lot of confidence as he was clearly very enthusiastic about our project. I very much liked their direct approach and that they questioned and challenged some of my ideas in a constructive manner. I would have no hesitation in recommending them. There is always a nice pot of coffee and biscuits waiting for you in their offices as well.
by Noel Rocks at Speakout Celebrities & Presenters Limited
www.tmcentertainment.co.uk
Derek and Nick and the team at Adamantean designed and set up our very first website a number of years ago.
From the beginning we found them to be enthusiastic, creative and really helpful. They took the time to find out lots of information about us and how our business works. They then worked with us to develop a website that truly represented the company and satisfied our clients. They always made us feel part of the planning and drafts of the web site design and the guys were happy to work on ideas with us and change things when required. There were conference calls and some on site visits. The process was painless, exciting, enlightening and ultimately rewarding. We got the website we wanted and needed. Our clients love it too.
The guys made lots of follow up calls and we tested both their knowledge and patience on numerous occasions. They continually help us modify the website as our company develops and progresses. If we do encounter a problem, they always come up with the solution.
Last year we asked the guys to create a second website for another part of our business and Adamantean have done another great job.
We always feel we can call them if we need help or advice.
The on-line adventure we have taken on is for us a great learning curve, one I am happy to say has been made easier for the envolvement of ADAMANTEAN. After a great deal of research we settled on adamantean by reccomendation.
They have all through the process explained in detail what is happening and on occasion repeated the advice as I was needing more clarification being new to the process.
Deadlines have been met, alterations made in good time, easy to talk to and understaning of apprehensions and concerns.
There are plenty out there who will build a site but few who will follow through with input and suggestions as to how the customer will view your offerings, adamanten I hope will be with me for the long haul as the business grows.
Well we are top of the search engines for 'lookalikes' 'lookalike agency' and we could not have managed it without the help of the guys from Adamantean. Ever since I dreamed up the idea of a lookalke agency I needed a great platform to showcase my lookalikes and also needed to get to the 'top' as quickly as possible. The guys from Adamantean worked relentlessly on my project from start to finish and took all my ideas and thoughts that were in my head and made them work on a website format. We intergrated automated pricing structure to speed up quoting clients for artists and the site has gone from strength to strength. Seriously if you want a good website and be able to talk to the designers and programmers in a normal way without techno jargon then Adamantean are the guys for you. Don't delay, give them a call today or check my site and see how good it is for yourself.
Adamantean were fantastic when it cam to putting my ideas of what I wanted onto the website. I gave them a a brief on how i expected the site to work and what they delivered was exactly how I had imagined it would be. Nothing was too much of a problem and the site was delivered to me 3 weeks ahead of the proposed scheduled date! Bonus!. Since then we have worked on numerous other projects and I would recommend them to anyone wanting a fantastic website that works!
From our very first meeting with the team at adamantean we knew we had found the web developers for us. They listened to every idea and suggestion we had and gave us honest, useful advice on everything we discussed.
They speak in plain English which was put them miles ahead of the other developers we contacted and their proposal to our brief gave us everything we needed in our budget.
The development process was straight forward and the sample designs that Dave produced were exactly what we wanted; business like but with a friendly feel.
The products and images were all loaded in for us and we were even making sales within a week of being online which was rather unexpected. Almost a year on now and our first year sales have doubled and we hope to build on this again next year.
We are looking at opening another online venture within the next year or so and we wouldn't consider contacting anyone but Adamantean.
Adamantean Web Design is your perfect design company to work with. Attention to their customers requirements is paramount and delivery is quick and efficient.
From the moment you speak to them to the moment your site is delivered the process is smooth and one that you feel totally comfortable with. All your ideas, suggestions, tweaks and changes will be ahered to and positive suggestions will be fed back to you of aspects of design and technology that perhaps you had not thought was possible. All done in plain english not computer jargon!!
On going support and backup is second to none and the team are always there for you.
Fake Festivals website has grown since the initial website was designed and completed, it is now top of all search engines and traffic is increasing year on year and content is growing.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Adamantean to anyone.
Adamantean were recommended to me by a friend who runs a graphic design service located in the same building as Adamantean. I set up an intial meeting with Nick Abbot, Director of the company to see if they could help in setting up a website for kids golf clubs. First meeting he had a whole pile of information on searches and stats for similar types of products. He outlined the costs and the services they provide. There was absolutely no heavy sales pressure to sign up with them especially seeing how competitive this market is now. the website was built and set up exactly how I wanted it with some great recommendations and ideas from Nick.
From never having an online business to having one, Adamantean have been crucial in making the process as simple as possible and always available to give advice and guidance moving forward.
Adamantean did a very good job on my website. They took my design ideas and created a website with clean, simple animation, that shows my photography well.
I needed a contact form, management over my gallery, and also a private client area where my clients could view and download their photographs securely, and Adamantean provided a great solution.
When we first opened UK Promotional Staff we were worried about the site being quiet to begin with but adamantean assured us that with their Gold SEM package we would be getting enquiries within weeks. It was expensive but we didn't want to wait months until the work and models started to get in touch so we went with the complete Search Engine Package and we're glad we did. Within just a few weeks we had over 1000 models apply to be on our books and to date we still haven't caught up with the backlog.
We have bookings for work every week and I can honestly say that the search engine marketing paid for itslef within a month.
We are very grateful to adamantean for their work and are extremely happy with the outome of the project.
I commissioned adamantean to design and build a web site for my holiday let house in Perthshire. They were quick and responsive and I am very pleased with the end result. The style and layout have been chosen to reflect the character of the house and the preferences of my target market. I was impressed that the team not only created the web site but offered additional advice to improve my web presence with, for example, Google and Tripadviser. They have also been flexible in accommodating all my ideas about content and in helping me to keep this up to date - something that is absolutely essential. All in all, a really professional job.
The guys from Adamantean were great fun to work with right from the beginnings. They teached me everything I needed to know about selling gadgets online. They got the design right the first time and were very patent with me as I learned how to add the stock and images to the site and add the prices and set the attributes etc etc.
I would even say that Adamantean are my friends now and I can phone them when I need questions and they always help me. If you want a friendly web design company then contact them and see for yourself!
Thank You

What makes you different from other web design companies?
adamantean web design:
”We've been at this a long time! We see web design companies appearing every week claming to be experts in this and that but we have the confidence and experience to deliver on time and on budget. We've made the mistakes already and we've been here for almost 11 years now so when we say we know what we're talking about we really mean it.”

adamantean web design:
