Reviews
Clarke Design are: Excellent, Reliable, Honest, Creative, Efficient, Knowledgeable, Experts, Attentive.
Just a few simple words, that sum up a great service and business who have helped us grow our on lime presence immensly.
They just do all the basic things that so many people now forget.
Although they are in Cheshire, and we are in Solihull, this has mot mattered as we manage to do most of our communication via emails.
Well done Clarke Design.
I have been with Clarke Design now for around 6 years. They have created a number of websites for our tanning business over the years. All have been to an exceptional standard.
Our first company was a national company who promised everything, but delivered very little. I left and chose Clarke Design as to be honest I was confident I would receive a personal service.
That is exactly what I have got over the years. I know I am impatient, demanding and at some times I am sure annoying with the amount of requests I make to Clarke Design. each and every request is dealt with in a professional manner, swiftly and to satisfaction.
I regard Clarke Design as my most important business associate.
I am very confident in recommending Clarke Design who always manage to put the brief ideas I have in to designs which capture exactly the image of our businesses.
They listen, and essentially focus on customer service, and all the basics that many larger firms simply neglect.
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!
