Reviews
Impression DP created a beatutifully designed website that we're very proud of. The website allows up to upload our menus regularly and make any changes we require!
Charlie was very helpful throughout the process and him and Adam even sorted out the photography for the restaurant. Beth also gave us some free PR and secured us a double page spread in the Yorkshire Post and ever since the phone hasn't stopped ringing!
Thanks again
Thank you so much for all of your help with my website! The design is way beyond anything I ever expected and they have hit the nail on the head and created a website that sums my brand up completely! There time, patience, ideas,energy and creativity were excellent and I would recommend them to anyone.
We had a website previously but it wasnt very good and it was confusing our client. Charlie @ Impression DP provided us with a great proposal, organsied the photograhy and the designers produced some stunning designs for us. They even proof read the site and write the copy.
They've made the whole process very easy and I'd recommend them to anyone looking for a new website for their company.
Impression DP has continually impressed us with its creativity, ideas and efficiency.
They came with a strong reputation in relation to SEO and we have not been disappointed. We are extremely pleased with the SEO work that has been delivered and know that that it is allowing us to maximise the commercial opportunities from our online presence.
Working with the guys on our site has been a enjoyable and we demanded a lot from the team - but they've certainly delivered.
Right from our initial meeting with Charlie we knew this was the company to go with for our web design. Having spoken to four other web design companies and not being impressed it was great to get the sense of excitement from the Impression DP team. This enthusiasm has given rise to what we think is a great website. In addition, the Impression DP team did as much as possible to work round our timetable and were frequently available to answer any questions or queries we had.
I think my new website is fantastic for the budget I had! I know these guys usually deal with more expensive website but they've done a great job of mine and I'm getting loads of enquiries from it. I can't thank you enough without praising you too much!
The design and look is great and the simple online enquiry form is so easy for the users to quickly fill out. I also like the moving imagery as it makes the site more interesting.
The guys kept me in the loop all the way and the job was completed on time. I wanted them to come up with a couple of designs without much input from me as I didnt know what I wanted really.
They've worked hard to ensure I'm up Google which is key and they;ve also set me up with Google Analytics and the ongoing support with my emails and website is great.
Adam Rogers
Director
Adam is a great account handler with vast media, web and publishing experience! also likes the gym a lot!!
Beth Coombes
Account Director
I'm an experienced account director who has recently joined Impression DP.
The previous professional roles I have held have focused on public relations, marketing and communications, with a high level of client interfacing. My experience to date ensures that I can work with a high level of responsibility, under pressure and largely independently if required to do so.
A marketing professional with 12 years experience, I have worked both as an in-house marketer (charity sector, B2B-AV industry ) and as a Public Relations Director within two global agencies (Grey Worldwide, Bates Pan Gulf) managing accounts of numerous well known FMCG brands such as L�Oreal, Audi, Visa, Nokia as well as devising and implementing corporate/business strategies. I have worked in the UK, France (Paris) and the UAE (Dubai).
I have delivered several marketing plans in my previous roles, combining a wide range of marketing mediums to meet business objectives, enhancing and driving commercial impact through tactical delivery. In short my skills and experience include...
Copywriting/ Writing: web content, brochure and DM copy/ press releases/editorials and advertorials/speech writing.
PR: strategic PR planning, thought leadership, stakeholder engagement, public affairs, reputation management, agency co-ordination.
Media Relations journalist engagement, interview opportunities, news and industry monitoring, press office.
Communications: marketing strategy and management, brand development, website development, event planning, internal communications, sponsorship, marketing collateral, product development.
On a personal note I have worked successfully on a freelance/contract basis for the past four years, giving me the flexibility to raise two small children and to travel frequently between the UK and France where I have a second home.
Charlie Hartley
Director
Charlie is a keen Newcastle United fan and even more fanatical about web development it is scary! His ambition is to make Impression DP into the best web/digital company in Yorkshire first and then take on the bigger London agencies!
Sarah
Designer
Just see her work and make up your own mind...
WWDC:
What's your name and position in the company?
Impression DP:
”Charlie Hartley - Director”
WWDC:
Describe your company in 5 words.
Impression DP:
”Young growing Full Service Agency”
WWDC:
What's your business philosophy?
Impression DP:
”We believe that today's clients need an agency that understands the demands and the potential of evolving marketing opportunities along with the conventional. We've combined a number of creative, digital, online and marketing professionals to service our clients to the best of our ability. Althought we see ourselves as forwarding thinking we also pride ourelves on old school business working ethics.”
WWDC:
Describe your office environment.
Impression DP:
”We have the strangest mixture of music from chilled, "funky bongo", metal and old school! The banter is always flying around but the quality of banter is questionable. ”
WWDC:
Describe how your team interact and work together.
Impression DP:
”We always say 2 sets of ideas if better than 1 - so where possible we look to interact on client projects...”
WWDC:
What makes you different from other web design companies?
Impression DP:
”I'd say the quality of staff. We've hand picked a few great website designers and when we're short on staff we have a pool of the best freelance website designers and developers in Yorkshire. We feel very strongly about this and it's an area we've been keen not to cut corners on.
We're not just after clients money - we like to educate so our clients know what is going on at each stage of a project. We like to educate them to understand all the technical terms. We like to offer an ongoing support as a client should view their website as their main marketing tool and not just a website.”
WWDC:
How do you get the majority of your business?
Impression DP:
”Recommendations and through stange ways like meeting someone new at a BBQ for example....”
WWDC:
Describe how you manage projects from the initial client contact to completion and handover.
Impression DP:
”As well as taking a full brief from clients we also like to use our knowlegde to make recommendations for our client on what they need. We also provide a dedicated account handler. ”
WWDC:
What do you think is the most crucial element of creating a good client relationship?
Impression DP:
”Honesty, openess, efficiency and professionalism. As well as being able to have a good laugh if the client is that way inclined!”
WWDC:
How do you manage demanding clients?
Impression DP:
”By educating them and by being strict. Often demanding clients don't understand the process of a website design and build therefore we educate them and manage their expectations. ”
WWDC:
If a client was trying to decide between a shortlist of web design companies, how would you recommend they go about selecting the right one for them?
Impression DP:
”Look at the portfolio everytime. If you like their work then they will have good designers that suit your brand. if you dont like their work then they probably have substandard designers. ”
WWDC:
Where do you see your company in 10 years time?
Impression DP:
”Being one of the most well know full services agencies in the UK. Client will use Impression for all their needs from online marketing to their website design and development to marketing literature to PR.”
WWDC:
Where do you see the web design industry in the future?
Impression DP:
”Tricky. Iphone apps - everyone will require one lik everyone now requires a website. ”
WWDC:
What computers do you have use in your offices, PCs or Macs?
Impression DP:
”Both PC and Mac”
WWDC:
How was your company name chosen?
Impression DP:
”With difficulty. We wanted to choose a name the meant what we're looking to do. Make an impression on people and companies.”
WWDC:
If you were to give your clients one tip on how to get the most from their website what would it be?
Impression DP:
”Hummm it would either be to ensure the design brief is a tight to ensure a great looking wbesite OR that there is no point in have an amazing website if no one looks at it so invest in online marketing and SEO to boost your rankings. ”
