A team of engineers noticed during the construction of a local factory unit that a lot of work could have been aided by the use of powered wheelbarrows. As the market seems to be well satisfied by large, expensive to buy and run petrol-powered machines, Autobarrow decided a smaller eco friendly option should be made available. Autobarrow then designed a range of machines using a hybrid of traditional and innovative engineering techniques to produce the virtually silent and very eco friendly Autobarrow AB1, AB2, AB0 and AB0+. Autobarrow think their machines offer cost-effective solution to the problem of materials handling.

Reviews
Very good working relationship from concept through to design. Always offering a prompt, friendly service to achieve the project goals on budget and on time.
Can help with small projects but also have the experience to develop much larger ideas, and be able to talk a non-technical language for all to understand.
We had a very good relationship to the website designer. Communication was always effected promptly and met our requirements. They were always keeping us informed about what they were doing. They speak in a jargon free way. We are very happy with the final outcome and they always dealt with any complications in a very fast way.
Only issuing of the inoives internationally was not always perfect!
Kind regards,
Metalock Engineering Germany GmbH
ICON.net Limited comments:
Thank you Alexandra for our review, yes we agree with you, invoicing internationally can become confusing when processing Vat EC sales invoices!
I would unhesitatingly recommend ICON.net, having used three companies before, none of whom was able to deliver either visually or technically on my concept.
Icon.net shone through in terms of their creativity and enthusiasm from the outset, and their technical ability to deliver what is quite a complex site, in a cost-effective way. This was all achieved without a single face-to-face meeting and without any significant changes being required. Their communication at all stages of the project was excellent, and the site evolved without any hitches. It was completed on schedule and worked too, from the outset!
Icon.net kept to the agreed deadlines, and are genuinely nice people to work with : their interest doesn't stop once they've finished the build either. They're still helping me with the site now, as it continues to evolve.
Our relationship with Icon Net has been really good from the start. They spent a lot of time trying to understand what it was we needed and wanted from our new website and weren't afraid to offer suggestions to improve on our ideas. All requests were acted upon speedily and they kept us up to date with progress so we didn't have to chase constantly. Any queries or problems were dealt with quickly and without fuss and if they couldn't do something immediately, they told us why and gave us a time when they would be able to deal with it. I was particularly impressed with the fact that whilst we gave them a pretty clear spec of what we wanted, they still offered ideas on improvement, which is something I have never got with any of the companies we have dealt with. We are very pleased with the final outcome and look forward to developing the site further with their help and expertise. Well done.

I get great customer service. I always feel that Nigel and James genuinely want to help me build my business whilst recognising my resource constraints. They are great at explaining technical stuff in a straightforward way.
I am really pleased with the final outcome. The design work was excellent and the site is simple to use. I've yet to exploit the site to its full potential but they are proactive with ideas to help me do this. This will be where I get more value for money.
Ben and Vicky are always helpful, professional and responsive.
Meeting the team is always an enjoyable and energising experience: they are welcoming, business-like and forward thinking. I always learn something new when I talk to them and I feel that Icon.net add real value to my work.
We found Icon.net to be very professional, easy to work with and friendly. They dealt with all our questions quickly and they had lots of ideas to help us have the best website for the amount we wanted to spend. The support after the production of the site was very good.
Icon net were great when we re-designed our website and went over and above when we looked to create an online calander.
The website looks great and we get lots of compliements on it.
The calander looks good but is quite comlex to use and sadly it hasn't taken off as we had hoped but that isnt to knock the time and energy iconnet put into it.
Whenever we have a problem or want an amend things, they get done in good time with good customer services. My only compalint is when you pay a yearly service and hosting charge ..which for a small group is alot, little bits of work cost extra.
ICON took a very complicated brief and greatly helped us come to an effective simple solution. The attention to detail and professionalism ensured a confidence along the whole journey, and communications were excellent.
On an operational level the content management system has been well customised to our needs and is easy to use. ICON were by far the best choice above a number of other contending suppliers.
We found icon.net to be very professional and freindly. They did everything we asked of them and were very helpful on items that we did not know exactly what we wanted, they had lots of suggestions. They kept us informed during the whole process and were very easy to communicate with. When the site was finished and live we found that the aftersales care was very good. They do not just do the site and leave you.
I am absolutely thrilled with my web site and would always recommend Iconnet if a new and exciting web site was needed. My site is easy to manage, user friendly and I can update and cope with the simple technology and know that the team at Iconnet will bail me out if something goes wrong.
My wishes and ideas were incorporated in to the site but my designer, Ben Howard had plenty of ideas of his own - he had used women's interest magazines to understand the feel I wanted.
The success of the web site has had a profound effect on our business both here in the UK and worldwide. It is a joy!
The team at Iconnet keep in touch by email and by telephone and we have meetings as often as necessary to discuss our long term plans and goals
Very good working relationship. Staff very helpful and do not baffle with jargon!
Can always get hold of someone by phone and if they can't deal with the problem they get hold of someone who can and have always rung back to say what was happening.
I would recommend them to friends and colleagues
Icon.net are a great team to work with. They deal with queries promptly, and are very patient with all our demands. They know what they are talking about and explain everything very clearly. We have regular meetings with them to ensure that our website is always improving.

I have had a business relationship with ICON net Limited for 6 years, which says it all really! They designed my original website as a start up business and just recently, the team redesigned a new and more integrated and optimized website.
They overcame significant problems, not of their making, with goodwill and an eagerness to make sure the site was delivered on time and on budget.
I have enjoyed a friendly and professional relationship with the team, they have understood my business, listened to my requirements and as always, came up with innovative design ideas, being helpful and informative way beyond their remit.
The Directors Nigel Robinson, James Chance and the Creative Media Designer Ben Howard have worked seamlessly to ensure they deliver true customer satisfaction and have been inclusive at every step of the way.
I am happy to endorse ICON net Limited as an exceptional agency with the skills, expertise and approach to guarantee the highest quality service for its Clients.
The staff at ICON.net are very professional and helpful. We always receive a very warm welcome and are immediately made to feel "at home". ICON.net designed our website nine years ago and have reviewed and renewed the design twice with major changes in 2010. At the last upgrade, the website designer trained us to make alterations and additions ourselves in a very straight forward and easy to understand manner - no mean feat in my case - I am not an IT person at all. I am now able to add articles, photos, links as and when I need to, thus reducing the ongoing cost of maintenance to my organisation - Safer Gloucester. ICON.net provided a manual for future reference but are always more than willing to assist with any further queries I have and giving tips on how to display material. They are not pushy salespeople and always took into consideration any requests I had in the design layout, giving helpful advice with relevant photos and pages.
I have worked together with Icon-net since 1998 and in that time all of the work they have done on our behalf has been done to my entire satisfaction. Our website has been remarkably successful and because of this we have always implemented innovative new technology and ideas, and it continues to go from strength to strength. This approach has always kept us ahead of the game. If I was asked to recommend a professional web company ICONNET would be that company they tick all the boxes!
Great proffesional company.
Great friendly highly skilled staff.
Great innovative and imaginative ideas.
What more do you need to know?
The team at ICON.net are efficient, responsive and always up-to-date with the latest trends. They are great to work with, will explain what the jargon means and above all, only sell it to you if you need it! Creating a web site can be a painful process but ICON.net will help you create a great showcase for your company. I would certainly recommend their services.

Our results speak for themselves - A happy client makes for a happy agency.”
WWDC:
Describe your office environment.
ICON.net Limited:
”ICON.net's offices are a modern purpose built design studio located at Friars Court, College Street. which occupys part of an ancient medieval site overlooking Gloucester Cathedral. College Street is ideally located in one of the most popular areas of the City Centre. There are plenty of cafes, restaurants, pubs and bars in the vicinity together with a wide range of businesses and services you would expect in city centre location. We find that the whole team are itching to get into work each day with these impressive new offices!”
WWDC:
Describe how your team interact and work together.
ICON.net Limited:
”Working under pressure in a predominantly creative environment demands a well balanced team of individuals where professionalism, specialist expertise and dedication go hand in hand with mutual respect and a well developed sense of
humour. Leadership skills and a common sense of purpose too are important to ensure we consistently deliver projects that not only meet our clients' objectives, but are executed on time and on budget. As a responsive and enthusiastic team
we all recognise the criticality of inclusiveness and openness not only amongst ourselves, but also in our dealings with clients. Ultimately, we all share the common goal of teamwork, for it is that which breeds success.”
WWDC:
What makes you different from other web design companies?
ICON.net Limited:
”Outstanding creativity, technical brilliance, exceptional service and good business sense are real differentiators, as is our belief in absolute integrity in all our business dealings: with clients and staff. These key factors, alongside our natural enthusiasm, honest plain speaking and transparency are reflected both in the close and enduring business relationships we develop with our clients and in their testimonials. Beyond that, our strength in depth over the past 15 years across everything web related, combined with the calibre, versatility and approachability of our team, and our 'can do' mentality, sets us apart from others. ”
WWDC:
How do you get the majority of your business?
ICON.net Limited:
”Whilst some new business comes through recommendation and/or word of mouth which is always immensely satisfying, by far the majority comes as a result of our pro active, co-ordinated and energetic approach: organic search results within Google, advertising, personal networking, targeted direct mail and digital marketing. Of these we are increasingly putting resources into digital marketing to refine our messages and exploit the applications of search engine optimisation, social media and email marketing.”
WWDC:
Describe how you manage projects from the initial client contact to completion and handover.
ICON.net Limited:
”By treating every client as our only client and being at all times accessible, thoroughly professional and totally dedicated.”
WWDC:
What do you think is the most crucial element of creating a good client relationship?
ICON.net Limited:
”The key to success is close co-ordination, teamwork and experience. Right from the outset of initial client contact the same senior executive is responsible for the day-to-day detail and management of that account. This starts with a clear understanding of background, objectives and timescales and is followed by a detailed quotation for client approval prior to implementation. Throughout the development and implementation process the client is closely involved at all stages up to and including completion and handover. Our aim throughout is to make working alongside us professionally rewarding as well as personally satisfying and enjoyable.”
WWDC:
How do you manage demanding clients?
ICON.net Limited:
”For continuity, consistency and accountability all clients deal with a senior executive who acts in the role of 'project/account director' and is actively involved in the day-to-day detail and management of the client right from the start. Because we truly believe in teamwork and positively welcome all clients' active participation in project and campaign planning, we are happy for them to have direct contact with the creative who is actually doing the job. Experience, professionalism, close attention to detail, dedication and a sense of humour are qualities all clients have a right to expect and are key for demanding clients.”
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?
ICON.net Limited:
”What is value?
'It's unwise to pay too much but it's unwise to pay too little. When you pay too much you lose a little money, that is all. When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing you bought it to do.
The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot. It can't be done. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it's well to add something for the risk you run. And if you do that, you will have enough to pay for something better!'

WWDC:
Where do you see your company in 10 years time?

We see the web design industry moving to mobile technology with lots of apps!”
WWDC:
What computers do you have use in your offices, PCs or Macs?
ICON.net Limited:
”Both PC and Mac”
WWDC:
How was your company name chosen?
ICON.net Limited:
”Well . . .back in 1996 we needed a creative name for our new business, whilst learning and developing new skills implementing our graphic designs and creating web pages for the 'world wide web'.
Computer 'icons' came into play, our original name was "ICON design graphic communication” the name was then shortened to ICON.net the and registered as a limited company. "ICON.net" is also a registered trade mark.”

If you were to give your clients one tip on how to get the most from their website what would it be?
ICON.net Limited:
”Good content will improve your organic search results within Google”
