Reviews
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.
Simply brilliant! Our new website is easy to use and gives us the ability to control our own content. Overall an excellent service and support that goes above and beyond.
"We needed a website with a shop that we could easily administer in house and that's exactly what we got!"
