Most people in or around the Stoke-on-Trent area have either heard or know about Bullock & Bosson, but from those who had just heard about them not many knew what they did. Taking their motto of "old value - new technology" at face value they decided it was time to revamp their image. We were presented with a logo and the word "clean". We went away and created a clean corporate web site and used the Jquery framework to bring smooth animations to the site to bring it alive.

Reviews
EBS in their 5 min interview describe themselves as "Energetic, vibrant, customer focused" I would like to expand on the latter. I would say that "customer focused" is an understatement for many reasons.
- I was blown away to find that my CMS user manual was full of examples from my web site.
- Mat is always available by phone even later at night or the weekend, something a small business like ours needs.
- EBS on many occasions have come up with some unique solutions to our problems with their "no problem" attitude
- If it goes slightly wrong Mat is in there straight away to sort it out and do what ever is required to resolve the situation.
For Inspire Development, EBS went much further than providing the professional, flexible, creative and responsive web design service that we needed, EBS have exceeded our expectations and delivered technical ability through a first class customer experience.
From start to finish we were thoroughly informed of everystep in the process of the websites construction. Communication was excellent both via email to show hard copies of the stages in the building of the site and via the telephone to ask relevant questions to items that needed to be added to the site etc.
The website was done on time and in a very professional manner and we feel ebiz solutions went up and above the normal call of duty to reach our requests.
Nothing was too much of a problem and all our requets and needs were met with no nonsense and a fast and friendly approach.
We would highly recommend ebiz solutions to anyone and we want more websites building and would not go anywhere else.
After getting lots of quotes from other web design companies ebiz were the only team that made us full that we could 100% trust them and they did not fail to deliver.
In a nutshell - a fast friendly and efficient company that deliver what they promise too.
10/10 *****
Matt was a very friendly and efficient designer. My budget was very small and he created a great site for me. He worked with me tirelessly as I often changed my requirements and was always very helpful and I am very happy with the end result.
The director and creative team at Ebiz solutions are some of the best people to contract your business to, since they are always ontime and reliable. The after sales service is 150% and i personally reccomend Ebiz solutions to any company world wide.
Photodaze Team
I worked very closely with Essential eBiz Solutions to ensure my wordpress blog site was clean and effective, and I very happy with the results.
Outstanding service provided by a range of multi-functional staff. We had the ability to contact them 24/7 and request ammendments/changes that were promptly and professionally carried out. This company went the extra mile to ensure we were happy withour new £1 million project. They come highly recommended.
this company was most helpfull in setting up our web site.
after the web site was finished and we had any problems they sorted it out right away, which i think with some other companys they could not be bothered doing this after sale service?

Fung is the latest addition to the team having just complete his master is graphic design. Fung pushes the envolope of design principles which in turns makes Rob and Mat work harder to help realise his design master peices.
