Reviews
Having worked with Agincourt extensively over the last five years I knew I wouldn't be disappointed and I'm pleased to say they didn't let me down. From the beginning of this project I felt like the requirement was understood at every level and the professional way the build progressed made a refreshing change.
The final web site is hugely successful and driving my business - moving forward we are looking to increase the scope of the site and increase the functionality and I have every confidence in the Agincourt Team.
We are very impreesed with our new website. This is the fourth website Ryan (agincourt web designer) has completed for us; needless to say i was extremely confident that the results would be great. Working to a very tight brief, timescale and budget the agincourt team delivered on all counts. Ryan's strict attention to the breif meant that very few alterations were required; however any new/spontaneous changes were accommodated without objection or complication. The team were, as ever, proffesional, proficient and a pleasure to work with; the process was made so straight forward and jargon free. Whatever the product, sector or audience, agincourt tech can tailor a website solution that reflects your business strategy - they have for us - thanks agincourt!
Agincourt Technologies have been excellent at every stage in building our webb app. Right from the start everything was laid out in a very easy to understand manor and set out in several stages so that we could check the progress at any stage and also make any changes, if required, at the various stages of development.
We found Agincourt to be friendly and always available on the phone/email, they responded to all our questions quickly.
Agincourt had a great understanding of what we needed and what we would be able to achieve which is great as we had been working on an old access database from 1991, and had absolutely no idea what could be achieved. It is still early stages in using the webb app but already we think that we can save about 30hrs a week in admin!!
Fantastic job, Thankyou
Agincourt proved to be very user friendly right from the start, they kept us 'in the loop' at all stages of the process. Initially we sat down with them to discuss the proposed site with not much experience of web site design, right from the off they put us at ease & explained everything in terms we could easily grasp. The design part was a pleasure to participate in, they showed real experience & a passion for getting it right from the initial click right through to the most detailed area's.
They met all of our requests, often improving on what we had expected, the final site is brilliant & is a reflection of Agincourt Technology. I would reccomend them to anyone & wouldnt hesitate using them again.
