Reviews
Excellent service and an inovate design, coupled with flexibity to add and amend content and tems. Integrated the website into our in house database for client to interact via their web portal. Good skills with graphics add to the general feel of the site. Overall an a very good outcome, and we'll be using them again.
Andrew Cowle took my ideas, some of which were specific and some vague and implemented them perfectly into a website that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. There is a perfect fusion of usability and content and I was pleased with the advice I received at each stage of the development. Andrew supported his suggestions with reasons why certain things would work and explained them clearly.
The end result meets my brief perfectly and surpasses my expectations. I wanted a clean, gimmick-free site that showcased the work of Soft Octopus Design Studio. This is what I now have. Many of my clients are in the health and charity sectors, often using old, slow technology and I am confident that their experience of the site will not be compromised.
Each stage of the site production was concise and I never felt overwhelmed. Andrew used examples and regular updates to keep me involved with the process and this helped ensure there were no surprises or compromises with the end design.
