Reviews
when dealing with anyone it is important that they immediately grasp what you are trying to achieve through your business. Sarahs ability to do this has resulted in a website that is attractive to the viewer, has functionality that allows both client and administrator easily navigate the site, and most importantly for our business it has put us on the first page of google in our first month of trading and is already resulting in Online Bookings.
We got Creative State's details from the Chamber of Commerce in Leeds and found that of all the web designers we interviewed Sarah had a clear vision of what our company is about. I think Creative State offers very good value for money for a sophisticated end product. Sarah added value because she has been able to liaise with our database software providers and brand designers and has taken some of the project management away from us, allowing us to get on and do our core job of recruiting.
I think the brief we gave Creative State was quite tricky given we're a specialist Taxation Recruitment Consultancy, which isn't easy to brand. However, the end result is excellent
highly professional, knowledgeable, friendly and extremely creative. very good at knowing what it is exactly the client needs and wants, adaptable, always looking for new and different ways of doing things, able to juggle many tasks at once, without dropping high standards. I would highly recommend creative state for originality, professionalism, timliness and high standards.
