Reviews
Good communication througout. Easy to talk to, and answered all my questions in non jargon manner.
Very helpful with website suggestions/advice re design and content.
All requests dealt with to my satisfaction. Also appreciated no "hard sell" approach to my request for
financial quotations unike some other web design companies.
They were extremely helpful. Kept me informed at every stage.answered all my questions and was very patient with me. Explained things to me in language I could understand. There insight into what we wanted was excellent and our website turned out to be a good balance of the image we want to convey and ease of use. They took all my reqauests into consideration. Highly delighted with the service from the very beginning to the end of the project.
I wanted a bespoke, fully W3C compliant website that was visually dynamic, user friendly and that we owned the copyright to. I got 6 quotes and Empire Elements was the most competatively priced. I was going to go to another more expensive company when Richard convinced me that I did not need to, his company could provide me with what I was after and that I didn't need to pay any more than he was quoting.
He was right. The process wasn't easy but Richard and I worked together and I was given time to consider different aspects of the design, before making a decision, and Richard was happy to move forward at my pace.
As a result I am very pleased with the design, quality and feel of our website and will be using Empire Elements to make future enhancements and improvements to our website.
I used Empire Elements to completely revamp my company's website and am very happy with their work in particular they listened to the brief and came up with an excellent design for the pages. They then worked with me to flesh out the details in a friendly but efficient manner.
I am happy to recommend Richard and his team at Empire Elements. They are an outstanding company that provide a professional, innotive and competative service. Richard is extreemly knowledgable, easy to deal with and commited to providing an excellent sevice - with dedication, perseverance and personal attention to detail. Even my high expectations were exceeded!
A exceptionlal, efficient and impressive team!
Highly recommended.
Empire Elements has provided the Farnham Astronomical Society with a web site that is simply wonderful. Richard was able to understand our requirements quickly and translate these into an innovative website that offers members and visitors a much more exiting experience. We also have a more functional site and are seeing other benefits such as Search Engine Optimisation as well - our content is now easier to find on Google, It is possibly the best web site of any UK Astronomy Society. Great improvements have been made at the back-end too - much to the delight of our webmaster; creation and publishing of new content is also easier. There was obviously a good understanding of the technology behind the work by Empire Elements. Transition from our old static site was handled very smoothly and Richard even helped with migration of the content. Support was always on hand to help with this task.
Thank you Richard and well done!
Empire Elements Ltd were totally professional from the start. They provided suggestions and solutions to our questions, showed us the website layout at every stage of the building process, and most importantly to us, were extremely patient. We made a few changes along the way and were advised from a customers view exactly what and what not a webpage should look like. Only when we were all happy with the finished website did Empire Elements publish it. We would recommend them to any Company or individual looking to do things the nice way.
I have nothing but praise for Empire Elements Ltd and its director, Richard Kacerek.
From my first meeting, he understood completely what I was trying to achieve and set up the site with the minimum of fuss.
There were a few amendments I wanted making after the initial draft and these were done speedily and without problem. Bearing in mind this site is the 'entry level', it more than met our requirements and I consider it excellent value for money - having had quotations from other more expensive designers.
The only downside was that I had to pay £15 to transfer the domain name to Empire Elements, which I felt was unnecessary - although nothing to do with them, who host the site free for the first year.
Thank you!
FANTASTIC: A word i very rarely use to describe a service i get from anywhere; i am one of those people who think real customer service is very rare. But in Empire Elements case it is the only description possible.
I am not good with computers, but i always want to know what' s going on, and why. Richard explained everything so well, and was so patient and professional throughout.
I am very happy with all six websites, and in particular Richard's ongoing support, i really could not recommend them highly enough, and i am not easily pleased!
On top of all this Empire Elements were the cheapest quote !
What more can i say?
If anyone would like to speak to me, i would me more than happy
From the outset, before we had even committed to using Empire Elements, we were highly impressed with the amount of time they spent meeting with us, visiting our store, ascertaing our requirements, and explaining how they could create a bespoke optimised site and on-line store to complement our retail shop. They undertook to clearly explain to us the innovative technology and techniques used to optimise our placing in the search engine rankings.
Out of the three companies we were considering, Empire Elements proved to be the most committed to implementing our vision, while their personal face-to-face service, level of expertise and price made the decision to use them an easy one.
Our input and approval was sought at each stage of the development and design process. The end result was delivered very quickly and we began to see the results of the optimisation technology immediately. Even after the work had been completed, improvements and changes have continued to be made without charge, while any "teething troubles" were quickly dealt with. Continuous face-to-face input and feedback remains a regular part of their high level of customer service. They continue to maintain a good relationship with us. I have had no hesitation in recommending Empire Elements to others seeking great value web design and e-commerce.
I began searching for a web design company when a friend of a friend had designed one (really badly) for my practice and was unavailable for any further work despite it needing changes before I could even show it to the public.
Finding Empire Elements was a relief to say the least. Richard made suggestions and presented ideas, which would make the site, look and perform better. He made the whole process easy and understandable and even offered a very competitive payment plan due to my budget constraints. The work was done faster than I expected and I was able to make the changes I wanted throughout the process. I am regularly making small changes to site content. Richard responds to my requests amazingly quickly and the work is done almost immediately no matter how small they are.
I love my website. It looks great, performs equally well and I have received a lot of great feedback for it. I really value working with a company, which offers great value, is fast and efficient, helpful and reliable. I could not recommend Empire Elements more highly.
Richard at Empire elements was always on hand to answer questions and provide feedback about every stage of updating our site. He is very informative and professional and really understood how we wanted our site to change to add more information about our garden design and construction services.
As designers we are very difficult to please, but Richard and his team didn't disappoint. He took our original designed website and made it look more up-to-date, using fresh colours with better page layouts. I would definitely recommend Richard and his team at Empire Elements.
Excellent service from the outset. Initial response on same day, followed by face to face meeting within the week. Thoroughly understood what I needed and gave good advise. Every step was kept informed and my requests were undertaken and reasons explained for other ideas. Very satisfied and would wholly recommend to any individual or business seeking their own unique website. Was treated as an individual and am happy to continue with their weekly updates and continuing advise to optimise my site.Outstanding value for money!
Finding a web design company on the net is quite an onerous task.
When I came across empire elements I was impressed with their vibrant colours and design methods.
I asked for a quote and was pleasantly surprised. I commissioned empire elements to start the work and within 24hrs I had a platform of which to work work, I must admit I had the WOW factor when I first reviewed the work.
I found empire elements to be more or less "on-call". For instance I would probably be working very late, and have an idea about the site, and thought i'd drop a line to Empire with some thoughts, only to receive a reply almost straight away, actioning my requests.
To conclude, I found empire elements to be very good and would definately recommend them to my clients.
Richard came to meet me to discuss my ecommerce shop .From that first meeting Richard worked quickley and dilligently and updated me at every stage of the design. I would whole heartedly recommend Richard to anyone wanting a Proffesional Web Designer. I love my site!
I'd never been involved in commissioning a website before so didn't really know what to expect when launching into this venture with Richard. His own website presented a lot of useful information helping me understand the processes involved a little bit more and he certainly seemed to know his business. My initial email enquiry was responded to within minutes and these prompt exchanges were typical of our communication throughout the project, although if truth be told, I was the one who was often slow to respond. The design started within days and progressed at a much faster pace than I had anticipated even though we ran into the Christmas period long after most businesses had shut up shop for the fortnight. What has been particularly pleasing about the whole process has been Richard's continuing support and interest after the site has gone live. He's willing to make further tweaks and changes to the site if required and has responded freely to further questions and queries from me. All in all, an excellent service and very good value for money.
Very understanding, patient and professional company. I was very fussy in what i wanted and they always delivered
Richard the MD was always available and always helpful
I would not hesitate to recommend them or use them again, a first class service
Thanks

Richard is a genius and a very easy guy to talk to. He has helped us no end with bespoke applications that are still in development. The Empire team are there to help out whenever we get in a muddle. There expertise is un rivalled.
Richard is hands down the best web designer I have ever worked with! When I told him what I was looking for he designed something for me that was EXACTLY what I wanted on the first try! His work is great and I couldn't be happier with the results! Very professional and efficient. I hope to be working with him in the future and I would recommend him to anyone who was in need of a web designer.
From the moment I called Richard at Empire Elements and explained to him what I was looking for in my website and what previous quotations I had received he put me at ease with his knowledge and professional approach.
I then asked to meet with him which wasn't the norm it would seem but he understood my reasoning as I always feel it is good to know who you are working with and once we had our first meeting and discussed my personal vision for the website I knew that I was in capable hands as he had done research into competitors in my field and also bought along sample sites.
Richard was totally dedicated to my project and certainly worked over and above my expectations to achieve my finished website within the timescale we set and the price quoted which was extremely good 'value for money'. As we got closer to the last hour before launching I was panicing and changing copy and images and never once did he complain.
I would highly recommend Empire Elements as a truly professional outfit and their experience and knowledge with advising on layout and the technical stuff was outstanding. If I didn't understand it was explained as technical jargon was used.
Once the website was launched it didn't stop here and the customer service with follow up has also been outstanding with the receipt of weekly stats and general emails to see how it is working for has been 100%.
I wanted a quality website, quickly and at best possible value. After being very disheartened with lots of the 'templated site in one hour' companies, I found Empire Elements, who helped me get the look I wanted but without making important 'look and feel' decisions for me. Richard is very responsive and has a good team; I have already added more pages with them and will be sticking with them!
An excellent company who are more than helpful! Defiantly the best web design company I know of. I strongly recommend working with them.
