Reviews
I discovered this company by checking a list of local website designers. I emailed 3 of them and almost immediately received a reply from Silverside. I had very little time to set up my website before going abroad but they worked on it immediately and set it up just as I wanted it. I was kept well informed and happy with the end product. Any slight problems were handled well. I think they were exceptional in their speed and efficiency dealing with my requirements.
Smooth running operation. Project work handled efficiently and effectively. Welcome advice and input from a solid knowledge and experience of design. Good aftersales/design service.
Absolutely fantastic, 100%. Quick, reliable and very efficient. Thank you so much.
I was recently on ITV Grease Is The Word. Michelle my partner (sandy) needed a web site and quick. Design by Silverside were fab. Up and running in a matter of hours and everyone was so impressed. Over 4000 hits in 3 weeks. Even the ITV producers commented on how good they thought the site was.
I am out of Grease now and the company are creating me a solo site. bradleyclarckson.co.uk.
I was'nt convinced that a web site was a good investment when I opened my salon three yeaes ago. I was totally convinced after the first six months.
Design By Silverside do everything, it's completly hassle free and not mega expensive either.
I am one very happy customer.
We have been using Designbysilverside since July 2004 for our e-business portal and cannot praise them enough for their help and support to our business.
We spoke to Silverside (and other companies) about what we had in mind for starting our business online, what we wanted from our website and what our customers might want and need too.
The reason we decided to go with silverside was simply down to not only the honest and professional advice we got, but also their ability to listen to what we expected and wanted from our site - not trying to sell us ideas or packages that simply had no bearing on our requirements.
It's now been nearly 3 years since we started using Silverside and throughout the time, we have had nothing but a stress-free service that is tailored to our needs.
We can't recommend their work enough and such as our satisfaction, we would not hesitate to offer their services to anyone else out there looking for a set-up that suits their needs and daily demands.
