Reviews
GDC delivered all of the above brilliantly, our relationship is with this company GDC is one of our better supply companies, they listened to what we had to say and came up with a design better than we could hoped for, We were kept in touch with all of the design and development of our web site, we were invited to GDC's premises to meet the staff and to discuss the progress and see the development first hand, We were spoken to in a language that we could understand and not designer language and were made to feel that everything was in hand and on time, we had no complications throughout this venture but had we of I feel that GDC would have handled them with ease,we are happy with the final outcome but GDC go that extra mile and a year after are still in touch and suggesting variants to the main site which we are considering at the moment, My opinion of GDC is that we will continue to deal with them as they were very professional and inspirational with the work that they came up with and are still doing so, Although they are still contacting us in no way are they too pushy, they want us to have maximum coverage to maximize our business to the full, we have gone back with a second company for GDC to put their expertise to, and I am sure they will come up with the right solution, we will today and in the future use GDC as our design and print company and look forward to many years of dealing with them as our companies grow.
GDC provided a detailed cost estimate at the tender round and represented great value for money. As a result we asked them to redesign and manage the update of a site which required considerable back end design and build. Their approach to the task was enthusiastic and they displayed detailed knowledge of the subject matter - a mixture of the personal expertise of the team and obvious time spent on research.
We made several changes to the brief (which clients do not?!) and their flexible approach to the task meant that this was never an issue. I was particularly impressed witht he range of options they presented us which allowed us to consider routes that may not have been evident at the initial stage of commissioning. As such, I would describe them as a partner in this project rather than a supplier.
Overall, they took the pressure off of us in delivering the project on budget and with a high degree of involvement. I would certainly recommend them for future work and we are over the moon with the final outcome.
Kirk Brampton
Designer
Requires copious amounts of tea every morning (Pantone 720), before any sense can be obtained. Possibly the most laid back account manager on earth. Has more t-shirts than any man should possess. Wants to burn all PC’s. Can detect a KFC at 3,242 paces.
Matt Gould
Creative Director
Enjoys making the studio into a mess then blaming someone else. Has a worrying obsession with cars. A perfectionist (this can be very annoying for both colleagues and clients). Swears a lot when stressed. Would like to know why everything has got to be done now?
Tom Greenway
Designer
Jaw clicks when eating. Uses big words unnecessarily. Likes being hit by huge Germanic men with sticks and then showing off the bruises. Paces up and down the studio when stressed. Thinks his Mac has feelings and will work better if spoken to politely.
