Reviews
Great commmunications,all through the medium of E mail,the end product was a fantastic web site, really launching our business into the 21st century.
We now have on line ordering systems comparable with the "Big Boys".
A few complications were encountered along the way ,but all were overcome,we also have an online payment system available to us when WE are ready.
Ian's communication was all in a language that i could understand.
I knew were i wanted to be , so all i did was convey this to Ian,he then put all my requestS into action,-- BRILLIANT.
by Dafydd Jones at Cantorion Colin Jones (The North Wales Male Chorus)
www.cantorioncolinjones.co.uk
Ian Hutchinson provided my colleague and I with everything we needed when he constructed, designed an easy maintainance, bi-lingual choral website of a very high standard. All our requests were catered for and we were somewhat surprised to be provided with jargon free lessons on how to update our site weekly from home.
The web site continues to be commented on positively and we believe as a choir that Ian has set the standard for Welsh Male choral websites.
All problems were dealt with positively and swiflty, but there weren't many.
I have puposely ticked 5 stars in each box below, as Amber Solutions did indeed, tick all our boxes. Everything we needed and more was provided and continues to be. Happy days
Many thanks to Ian
