Following initial discussions about the sort of website we were looking for ib3 suggested the sort of lay out and pages that would be appropriate for us. In a few days they were able to produce a site that was exactly what we wanted and within budget. They were very professional in their approach and any changes were done quickly. Thanks ib3.

Faced with a challenging time span (for challenging read wanted yesterday) i contacted a number of web design companies for my project. Two or three grasped the concept early on, but one stood out - IB3.
Very quickly IB3 were able to establish the exact needs for the project - and also point out limitations in what I was asking for - or indeed make recommendations to make the solution future proof. All conversations were jargon free and easy to understand - a real bonus for me!
Realistic price, and this complete grasp for the needs of the project saw IB3 awarded the contract, and very quickly the designers and development team were all over the project.
The site was delivered to spec, on time and to budget - to achieve one of the three is remarkable these days - but all three very impressive.
Since then (March 2011) any small issue discovered has been answered quickly and efficiently (normally within a couple of hours the problem has been resolved).

I would not hesitate in recommending IB3 for your website needs.

We should like to thank you and your team for the very generous support you have offered to our charity in totally revamping and developing our new web-site. The end result is fantastic and we are all excited about the potential that the site offers to us in being able to promote and market our services. It is also a great asset having a members’ area which enables everyone closely connected with The Centre to keep in touch and learn about our latest news.

We have been managing a change programme here over the last few months and this development is part of our strategy to rebuild and refresh what we do.

It has been a great experience working in partnership with ib3 who have understood our needs and shown great professionalism and responsiveness in developing such a positive product.

Thanks you so much for your help and we look forward to working closely with you in the future.

Initially the website design and build project was handled by another company, pushed on us by the software supplier, who failed in every conceivable way to understand what we wanted to achieve especially how we wanted to the site to integrate with our back end system.
We then looked elsewhere and came across ib3 by way of a recommendation from a local supplier we use, from first contact we have not regretted the move to ib3.
Their patience is super human and they have proved time and again why they are so highly regarded by all their customers. All the way through the (extended) project they have listened to what we wanted and helped us shape our vision into what is possible without sacrificing the core requirements of the brief.
The end result is a site we are very pleased with both technically and aesthetically and if asked I recommend ib3 without hesitation and look forward to our next project and a long working relationship.

ib3 immediately recognised our requirements and have designed a very professional, popular website for us. They went the extra step in advising us on other e-procurement sites we have and have continually been on hand to help with any additional needs. We are very happy with the results and would recomend them to other companies seeking a new website.

ib3 has successfully created a site for our group of companies. The aim was having a landing site for several leader board banners we will be placing on the main sector sites this year.
They have been very creative and still fully respected our brand image. They understood very well our business model and requirements and they followed them through. There hasn't been any need for continous backwards and forwards, as they've always delivered what was requested.

The Content Management System is so user-friendly that we didn't even need any training, although they were providing it.

We're very glad with the results achieved and I highly recommend to use ib3 for any project like this.

From start to finish iB3 have been very creative and quick off the mark. After some difficulties with a previous supplier we needed a website that would not only work but enable us to move on in the future. Not only do we have this we also have a fabulous CMS facility that enables us to make changes quickly therefore keeping the site fresh at all times.

The development process has been a steep learning curve and one that we have embraced. iB3 are always at the end of an email or phone call and that is hugely helpful.

So thank you iB3 and I recommend them highly.

Our experience working with IB3 on the design of our new website was extremely positive from start to finish. They listened carefully to our requirements and interpreted them exactly as we wished. The result is a fresh and exciting website which meets our expectations perfectly and, most importantly, has been extremely well received by our customers.

The whole process was very well explained to us in terms we could understand and timescales were met at every stage. Past web designers have kept control of the website once it is up and running but IB3 has produced a site which can be easily modified and updated by us. This means that we can keep the site up to date without being dependent on a third party.

Once the main design was finished IB3 has been happy to lend assistance and answer queries without hesitation. We are looking forward to working with the IB3 team on the further development of our website which will include an online sales facility.

We approached IB3 to help us deliver a whole new company web site and also to integrate our conference and venue space booking system in to the web site to give real time availability to our clients.

Steve understood our requirements and delivered on them brilliantly. The new web site stuck to our business colours and style and has given the whole business a boost through the online availability and booking system.

We have gone on to use IB3 for email marketing and online surveys and will continue to discuss other avenues with Steve and the team.
