Choosing a web design company is much like getting your car fixed. You want no nonsense straight answers, impartial and non-patronising advice from experts who have their finger on the pulse. Unless you do it for a living, who can claim they know everything there is to know about web design? You need to get the professionals in. Interactive Red not only offers the trust and reliability, but great prices to boot!
I like the format of having a project manager to deal with day to day stuff so the web designer can get on with what he does best. Justin has a good eye for design and seems to have a knack for turning visions into reality. On top of this he has the programming skills to make a really smooth looking website just as sleek behind the scenes. To have both is a rare phenomenon!
We ran over time with delivery of the final project. Maybe because it's a small company and they had a lot of projects on, but probably also because we were a little over ambitious with the time-scale.
Overall though, I would have no doubt in recommending them to my friends and colleagues. In fact I already have.
From the very first meeting it seemed that Interactive Red had no limitations in terms of what they could offer...at no point was I met with a "sorry that's not possible". Justin asked all the right questions and took detailed notes when I was explaining the concept of EST and this was evident when Interactive Red produced a website that was completely to brief and that had the look and feel I was after. Any problems were sorted very quickly with efficient communication and good advice was given on request. Interactive Red have the flair and individuality of a boutique design company but with the resourcefulness and professionalism of a larger development group
Excellent service from a friendly and helpful company.
They fully understood our requirements and produced a site which is both technically and aesthetically superb.

Outstanding company to work with, the site was built to our exact requirements with lots of help and guidance from Justin. I would recommend them to anyone that wants to start a new web site or would like help with an existing site. All work was done to our timescales, efficiently and effectively, a fantastic business to work with on such an important project for our business. Nothing was too much trouble to add & sort out. Highly Recommended!!
Excellent service from knowledgeable web designers.
Always available so modification done rapidly with no fuss
A recommended service
