Reviews
Katie and Gavin at Aviemore Business Solutions, have provided us with an excellent service in every way.
We required a full redesign of our website together with web hosting and S.E.O. and I have to say that this company has handled the whole process brilliantly. Katie and Gavin have always been on hand to discuss any issues we have had relating to the project and have been a total pleasure to work with.
We are thrilled with our new web site at Moorfield House and look forward to working with Aviemore Business Solutions in the future.
Aviemore Business Solutions comments:
It is always a pleasure to work with people who know what they want and Gillian was no execption to this. We are delighted that she likes her new website and hope to work with her in the future.
Gavin and Katie Fenton run a fabulous agency in Aviemore and I am so glad that they were recommended to us. They are talented, hard working, incredibly trustworthy, have very strong integrity with exceptional customer service skills and are a great partner to work with. They have really helped develop both brand and non-brand traffic to our site and have often gone beyond the remit of a traditional SEO agency to help us in other areas. They have an intuitive understanding of what works online and are always willing to go the extra mile. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.
Aviemore Business Solutions comments:
Working with Paul from Bell Ingram has been a joy - it is so good to work with a company who get involved and ask lots of questions!
I have always found the service from Aviemore Business Solutions to be professional, prompt and courteous. Katie and Gavin are both on hand to offer advice and the work that has been carried out regarding our SEO has been effective, we are now appearing on page 1 for many search terms.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Aviemore Business Solutions.
Aviemore Business Solutions comments:
It has been great working with the Crianlarich Hotel, working with Andrea especially is good because she clearly has a passion for the hotel and what it can offer. The owner has a grasp of Social Media the likes of which we dont usually encounter so it has been a pleasure working alongside them.
Aviemore Business Solutions set up our new website May 2010 and from the start we felt they understood our business and our target customers. Communication was excellent and very responsive at all times. They were very good at interpreting our requests into web marketing, making suggestions and explaining the process as we went along. The whole process was very quick, painfree and effecient. The end result was exactly what we wanted in order to convey our business to our customers through an on line presence .
The follow up service is also very responsive and they are happy to make changes. The analytical reports are readily available in order to monitor our progress and respond to changes in the marketplace.
We would certainly highly recommend Aviemore Business Solutions and use them again in the future.
Aviemore Business Solutions comments:
Working with Angela and David was great, not only was there home baking everytime we went round to discuss anything but they also responded well to advice and always provided us with content, images and other information when requested.
Gavin & Katie have redesigned our website and implemented all our Social Media and SEO.
We are very pleased with both their efficiency and there friendly manner.
We would thoroughly recommend them to any small business , especially those who are not as up to date with recent technology as perhaps we should be!
Aviemore Business Solutions comments:
What has been really good about working with Wendy and Don at Boath House is they asked for our recommendations and then listened to our advice - this has made a definite increase in enquiries which makes both them and us very happy!
Katie and Gavin of Aviemore Business Solutions could not be more friendly and professional if they tried! Their level of expertise and support is second to none and you feel totally confident that you will get what you want.
They listen to what you want and deliver it. Always available, they don't make you hang around for changes to your site and always open to suggestions.
Very positive people and a pleasure to deal with. Am I gushing yet??!!
I cannot recommend them highly enough!
Aviemore Business Solutions comments:
For such a good cause how could we fail to help? A pleasure working with both Catherine and Lili.
Katie and Gavin have created and looked after our website for about 5 years. They are incredibley helpful and patient - I did O level computer studies on a BBC micro in 1987 and my computer skills haven't advanced far since then so it's great to know that a technological wizard or two is at the end of the phone when I get stuck, which seems to be most days.... we love our website and are embracing Facebook and maybe even Twitter. Katie is quite strict, which is good and explains things simply, Gavin has oodles of hotel experience and knows our area well - they understand our business and how best to promote it on the internet.
Aviemore Business Solutions comments:
Hmmm am I strict? Ok, so I ask for a lot of information for social media - more is definitely more with Facebook and Twitter. Clare and David have been a delight to work with, I only wish we could spend more time eating Clare's cooking! Thank you for the kind words though.
Katie and Gavin at Aviemore Business Solutions provided a great service for us. They understood what we required in a new website, provided us with advice and guidance throughout the process, delivered on their promises, all in a value for money package. We would have no hesitation in recommending their services.
I asked Aviemore Business Solutions to build me a web site. They came to see me and explained all the criteria they needed and all the content I wished to be in the site. They explained all the technical stuff about SEO and making the site search engine friendly. We had a couple of meetings and then I took delivery of my site on time and budget. I was greatly impressed with their professional service and within 3 weeks I had been ranked by Google at position 1 on page one and I have stayed there ! Excellent service would recomend ABS to any body.
Carrbridge Golf Club has been associated with Aviemore Business Solutions for 5 years and they have consistently provided us with professional jargon free advice at reasonable prices. We have always been fully involved in the design and improvement stages of our site's development and they are always happy to oblige, sometimes at short notice. Gavin Fenton's knowledge of how search engines work has seen traffic to our site increase significantly and, more importantly, resulted in increased tee time bookings. I would be happy to recommend Aviemore Business Solutions to anyone who wants an affordable web site that meets the demands of today's internet marketing.
