Reviews
We took over an existing Ford workshop in Witney but needed to let all possible customers know the new name and the new site. I was recommended to Emma at Clarified Web Design by our printers and met Emma just a couple of months ago. She took a detailed brief and within days had drafted a great basic website for us. We only needed a couple of meetings plus a good few emails to finalise the site layout and I am delighted with the result. Emma also organised our emails and the hosting.
As a complete technophobe I needed someone to do all the above for me and she did it well and very economically.
I am pleased to recommend Dlarified Web Design.
Having left University with a very basic website it was important for me to launch my new jewellery design business with a professional and eye-catching website and Clarified Web Design was recommend to me.
My first meeting with Emma was extremely useful and it became apparent that Emma's web knowledge and experience is second-to-none. Her ideas for the layout of the site and use of search tags was excellent and I left our meeting in no doubt that we were both working towards the same goal with similar ideas. Emma spends time talking through your requirements as well as making suggestions for what works well and not so well.
Emma has delivered beyond my expectations, the website looks professional and well laid out with clear text and directions. I believe that first impressions count and the home page is exactly what I wanted.
Thank you Emma for all your work, I am so pleased with the final result, I couldn't have done it without you !
I am grateful to Emma for all her help with my new website. Emma is a very approachable and professional web designer who cares about her work. She worked very collaboratively with me, keeping me informed at all times, making suggestions about what she thought did or didn’t work well and patiently explaining the technology in simple straightforward terms.
She was also very open to my ideas and very good at interpreting them, adding to them and pulling everything together. This made the whole process painless and I’m delighted with the results. I’ve had lots of great feedback from people of all ages so it’s good to know that the website has wide appeal. Thank you Emma!
Emma Peat at Clarified Web Design is a seriously good web designer offering an intuitively creative, reliable service.
At every stage of the process, she tirelessly listened to my ideas and brought them to life; giving me total peace of mind and delivering excellent value.
If you want an extraordinary web site I can highly recommend her. She is approachable, uses plain English, keeps to deadlines and has a superb eye for detail.
Yours truly
Anne Thompson

Clarified Web Design are a professional company with a human approach to their work. From an initial meeting to discuss the general look of web site and what it was aimed to achieve, Emma went away and provided a general, but detailed, specification for each of the pages in a very prompt manner.
I then provided just text and a selection of images to go on the site and Emma put this together, along with the company logo and colours, which Emma organised by contacting my designer directly. In just over a week Emma came back with the design to check before it went live. No design changes were required as she had obviously listened to everything I had said, as well as conducting some research into the ecological field and adding a few details herself. The site exceeded our expectations and Emma was very prompt and understanding with the minor changes to our own text.
Emma also offered expert advise on how to maximise hits from search engines and offers on-going advise and page updates very promptly, as well as talking me through the initial e-mail set-up. Clarified Web Design is the current host of the site and I am pleased for this to be the case. It was all a simple and pain free exercise with outstanding results that are now helping to promoote my business in a professional and dynamic way.
I approached Clarified Web Design because they were local to me and I needed a website to advertise my business. I found Emma to be very friendly and she asked me all the right questions about what I wanted, because I am very happy with the result. I also know that she is there if I need to make alterations in the future.
It's been a pleasure working with Emma at Clarified Web Design to create a number of additional search pages for my website http://www.oxfordshirewarmemorials.co.uk. The initial consultation was excellent and Emma really bought her experience to practice in helping turn my ideas into real solutions. The resulting quotation was clear and precise, the work was completed promptly and was of very high quality. Emma also remained flexible and cooperative throughout, with clear communication at all times. I would have no hesitation in recommending Emma and Clarified Web Design, a very professional and technically proficient service. Thanks Emma, look forward to working with you again!
I worked with Emma at Clarified Web Design when I wanted to re-design our website, moving from a 'static' site to one with a content management system. As a recruitment agency it is important to our business that we can make details of our vacancies readily available to candidates and that candidates and clients can register with us easily and quickly.
Emma had initially undertaken a project on search engine optimisation for us, so it seemed natural to commission her to undertake this more comprehensive upgrade.
I found working with Emma to be easy and straightforward. Emma always listened to my ideas and views and gave sound advice where she felt something I had requested would not work or where an alternative would be more beneficial. As someone who it can be said is not technically very capable, I found Emma's lack of 'tech talk' really helpful. Emma's communication was always clear and understandable. She met our deadlines, even when I added additional requests that had not been part of the initial quote.
Our site has been running for about a month now and we have found that our traffic is increasing steadily. Emma has designed our site so that we can add more CMS tools as and when required, which we will do as our business continues to expand.
I would have no hesitation in working with Emma and Clarified again, nor in recommending her to other businesses.
This was my first project with Emma, I was looking for a friendly jargon free yet professional company to re-design my prototype website.
Not only did Emma fill me with confidence that she could produce a professional looking website that was easy to navigate, she also suggested using a database system which would make adding any future content to the site much easier.
The end result far surpassed my initial expectations, and I feel Emma has put a great deal of effort into producing a website that I can feel very proud of.
I would not hesitate to recommend Clarified Web Design to anyone who is looking for a company that will take the hassle and stress out of the equation, keep you fully informed of every step of your project, tweak and improve on your requirements and complete a project in good time.
Emma clearly takes a great deal of pride in the quality of work she produces; she has high standards and is very easy to work with.
Thank you Emma for putting a human and caring face to website design.
Thanks Emma for a fabulous website! This is now the second website that Clarified have designed for us. The best part about working with Emma is that she works with our own ideas and suggests ways to build on those. She is honest when she thinks one of our ideas won't work and suggests an alternative. She also had some great design ideas of her own that we were able to implement. Clarified provided us with an on-going total of costs throughout the proccess in order for us to work to our budget. I'm thrilled with our website and know that Clarified are there supporting us whenever we need to make quick changes to it. Thanks again Emma. Nikki Taylor
We contacted Clarified to re-design our website and add features such as a secure mebers area and a back office database. We have also had implimented in the design stage further possibilities for the site so it can grow with the business. We had an idea of how the site was to look but Clarified put forward suggestions as to how our design incorporated with their ideas could perform better on the web. I am really fussy about what I wanted to see and colours and coupled with the fact that I do not understand how search engines rank sites, I did not want to do anything that would drive less traffic to the site. Clarified bent over backwards and jumped through hoops to get me exactly what I wanted, and when the site went live within no time at all the important key words were top of google, and this was particually good as I was doing pay per click before so savings were made. On other keywords we have added, the site goes up the rankings every week, Script has been added in to the site we can watch the performance, and generally the traffic to the site increases by 50% a week. If it can be done Clarified will do it for you, the service is proffesional and promt. You are always kept informed if the office is not going to manned. The service is top notch and very reasonably priced. Each aspect of the build was individually priced so you are in control of how much you want to spend and how quickly you want the changes implimented, more to the point you know what each bit costs before you are commited. We have ongoing work being done and would have no hesitation in recomending or using Clarified again.
Clarified Web Design have been absolutely ideal to work with. They give practical and honest advice when designing the website but also are flexible when implementing our own ideas. We are impressed with their quick work when tweaking and making changes as often as we need. We find them practical, good value, very easy and efficient to deal with. We have been very happy with their work and support. Nikki Taylor, Bluebasil catering.
Our company futons-direct had the good fortune to meet Emma from Clarified Web. Our website was in desperate
need of a makeover and the finished result is an attractive, more usableand easy to understand website which
has been very succesful so far. The other important aspect of a website which the public don't
see is the admin area.In our case we have an ultra easy to use and flexible system which allows us
to communicate easily with our customers.Also any questions or ideas have been acted upon ultra quickly In our particular niche market we are up against bigger,
ruthless companies who are dumping inferior products on the market and communication about product quality
is our key to survival. With this new website we are confident about the future.
When I decided to set up a web site for my new company I have to admit I was lost and out of my depth, I knew what I wanted but as I had never been taught how to use a computer it was hard for me to explain some of this when I enquired at other companies, they just replied with abrieviations and jargon which left me even more confused and unsure.
I wanted someone local who I could talk to face to face and show them my ideas, on our initial meeting Emma was great and very understanding and had the answers for everything I wanted and in no time at all came up with what I wanted and showed me a few of her own ideas which could be incorporated into the site, after a couple of tweeks and a few additions I now have a website that I am proud of and I know is working well, it is a great store front that I am very proud of.
Emma is friendly and professional and easy to work with, I thank her for all of her hard work & will continue to use Clarified web for my future needs and have no hesitation in recommending her company to others.
Clarified Design( Emma) built my website about eight months ago and continues to update it .I would say - very professional and accurate , friendly and efficient . I am very happy with my website - clear and easy to navigate and my business has grown because of that.
I would highly recommend Clarified Web Design to everyone .
Clarified Web were very easy to work with with clear communication every step of the way.
All our requests were reviewed, and where necessary, alternatives were suggested. Everything was laid out in a clear, concise manner - both verbally and in written contracts.
We were very happy with the final outcome.
This is the third year we have used Emma and her company Clarified Web Design to host our two sites. Throughout she has followed our design briefs and visuals to the letter and produced two sites we are proud of.
Her professionalism, knowledge of her subject and ability to act on design changes swiftly have set her well above any other hosting company we have used and I would have no hesitation in recommending her and Clarified Web Design to others.
Thank you Emma, long may our association continue.
Clarified designed our web site about 2 years ago and in January this year we had a face lift with a change of Company name, Logo, and website design.
Emma has given us absolute fantastic service! I know very little about website development so anything I wasn't sure on I asked and Emma and she always came back to me with "simple" explanations.
Even now, if there were having any problems, I can email Emma and she always comes back and helps us out. (Even when the issue were having isn't anything to do with Clarified). They really do look after you.
I would completely recommend them to any one thinking about having a website developed.

Fantastic service! I have had so many comments about how good my web site is. It's easy to use for people looking at it and it's designed so that I can easily update the information on the web site. Clarified designed my web site about 2 years ago and I have had 2 years of hassle free web site.
We used Clarified Web Design to create and host our website, and we were delighted with the service.
I was dreading the whole business but they made it painless and (almost!) fun.
As well as being fast, professional and sticking to budget:
* they were happy to change things
* never made us feel stupid for asking dumb questions
*came up with pro-active suggestions and solutions.
I had the feeling throughout that our designer had listened to our spec, researched our field and was

Clarified design recently did my new website and i can honestly say i am more than pleased with it.
Emma was efficent and kept in contact at all time and kept me up to date everyday.
I told them what i wanted and this was taken on board throughtout the whole process. I have had a lot of business since it was done and that is all down to Clarified web design.
I had been somewhat reticent about commissioning a website for Newland House, anticipating interminable meetings with 'geek' web designers who spoke in HTML and caused me to spend hours/weeks effectively producing my own website at huge cost, prior to disappearing off to their next job, never to be seen again.
The reality could not have been a greater contrast, I believe this was due to my choice of Designer which was my good fortune. My choice of Clarified Web Design was primarily due to it being a company local to me, though as it transpired this was not an important factor, as after the initial meeting everything has been communicated by email. I also liked the simplicity and effectiveness of Clarified's website, which also gave me a clue as to the probable cost.
I had a meeting with Emma (the boss) during which I was impressed by her knowledge of what I needed and whilst the meeting lasted only around an hour I felt very comfortable that I had chosen the best route. I handed over a few bits of promotional paperwork and within a couple of weeks Emma had put up a draft 15 page site on the web. The site is easy to use, with lots of photographs and two pages which we can maintain weekly/monthly which makes the site look current.
Emma took care of everything, involving me and my staff minimally, from domains to hosting and positioning with search engines and all the stuff I do not wish to know about.
I have got a product which exceeded my expectations and is commented on very favourably by my clients an potential clients, at the very reasonable price quoted.
Eighteen months later any requests to change photographs or update text are actioned immediately and reasonably.
I would not hesitate to recommend this very professional outfit.
Clarified web design have helped us launch a number of websites, this being just one of them. We have always been delighted with their pro active approach, they are always willing to come up with suggestions to improve the website yet at the same time listening to everything we say.
The result is that we feel involved at every stage.
The whole process happens quickly and smoothly and even when we change our minds as we go along they are always understanding and helpful. Their services are excellent value for money.
We have recommended them to our clients and have used them again and again for our projects, which says a great deal.
Emma Peat at Clarified web design has always explained things clearly to someone who knows very little of the technicalities of the subject. She always replies promptly to any queries and is fast to update my website when I need changes. I recently wanted to link in with 'facebook' and 'tripadvisor'. She organised this very quickly. All in all I would thoroughly recommend Clarified Web design, in fact I would advise everyone to use them, as there is little point in going elsewhere, they are the best!

I set up Clarified Web Design 4 years ago having worked extensively as a developer for Web Agencies in London and Oxford.
I now handle everything from design to development to client contact, and love the variety that brings.
I passionately believe in creating wesites which look good and are easy to use - that fulfil a purpose and are not just stuffed with flashing lights, bells and whistles. I also enjoy working with 'novices' and helping them to understand the process and produce a website they can be proud of.
