Reviews
I was very pleased with all aspects of my website design/experiance. Clarke Designs kept me well informed always answering my emails and telephone calls promptly. I feel my requests were implemented and the final outcome was what I wanted. I am very pleased with the end result. I intend to use Clarke Design on future projects and would definetly highly recommend them .
Clarke Design took our ideas for a customer friendly site, containing lots of useful information in an easy to read format and they not only made it happen but also pitched in with ideas and told us straight if they didn't think something would work. The result is as good as we'd hoped for with a clear, easy to read format and apart from having to write lots of words (never an accountants favourite job) the whole experience was smooth and trouble free. As each new iteration of the demo site came along our excitement grew and having the site go live was a fantastic moment but it is also only the start of the story and we know if we need help as the site grows Clarke Design will be there to help!
