I cannot praise Ian and his team at iwi design highly enough in assisting us in bringing our web-site into the 21st Century. Throughout the whole process we were offered nothing but first-class service whether by phone, E-mail, or personal visits. Also, nothing was too much trouble when we called and asked for additional items to be included. They also demonstrated remarkable patience when instructing our staff on how to administrate the site. The completed site is a testimony to their hard work and experience. We look forward to developing our relationship with iwi design.

I've been with IWI Design for more than 5 years now. I've never felt the need to go anywhere else.
A very competent and responsive team - always on-hand to deal with any queries, a top-rate, no-hassle business.
Ian who heads the team visited me personally at his own cost (a distance of 200 miles) to go through design ideas and put them in to practice brilliantly.

IWI design have produced for us a really good website design that shows off the company. There was excellent communication whilst it was being built and plenty of feedback all the way through the process. Best of all, they have set the website up so that we can now easily maintain it ourselves as the company grows.

IWI Design were exceptionally good to work with throughout the production of our website. They were flexible, worked well to deadlines, communicated effectively and demonstrated the creativity needed to produce an eye catching website.

IWI Design were very easy to work with, they provided excellent advice on what they believed we required and were able to accommodate any and all requests that we had for the site. Their knowledge and expertise is excellent and they were able to include many extra features to the site that make it not only easier to use but that also saves valuable time.

We were very happy with the final outcome of the website which is now modern and fresh but also easy to navigate and use. The content management system is extremely easy to use and produces excellent results.

We have had extremely positive feedback from people using the site on its design, navigation and the features including media and audio streaming.

Overall IWI Design were excellent to work with from the initial concept to the final outcome they are a creative web design agency with excellent technical knowledge and fantastic customer service.

Ian is very approachable and helpful, not just in terms of servicing and keeping our website updated, but also in suggesting improvements and responding to requests. Our website is a key shop window for us, and is always evolving. We are keen to provide good, up-to-date information on our site and having extra pairs of hands is great. In terms of value for money we are pleased with iwi design and the service they provide on a daily basis. Ian knows Youth for Christ very well and his Christian faith and understanding of youth ministry are a great help to us.

IWI design offer a straight forward and realistic approach to website design and management without compromising in terms of innovation or cutting edge creativity. I have been completely satisfied with their work and would recommend them to other theatre and dance companies in relation to developing a brand for their business. Since handing my website design over to IWI participants and collaborators working with Pretty Good Girl have always commented on the quality of the site!

I'm really pleased with my site.
Having spent time looking around fo the right company i new i was going to get what i needed, at a very competative price, from Ian and the team.
The consultation process was thorough and i was contacted as the site evolved, to give my opinion on the varying design options.
The team were extremely efficient and once i had compiled the content for the site, the pages took shape immediately.
Artistically, i was met with great ideas. I wanted a site that had a real flare to it and i am very impressed with the images and design structure.
The image and audio presentation is really easy to opporate and the site has an over all cohesion which draws the reader in.
Most importantly i have seen a boost in the amount of web generated business since the launch of the site.
Many thanks to Ian and the team.

Ian from IWI DEsign sorted out my website for me. I was really pleased with the way Ian listened to my ideas of how I wanted to website to look and what I wanted my customers to be able to do. He brought me several styles to look at and was happy to incorporate elements of a couple of the examples into my final site. My website works well and we often get compliments on it. I did have one small issue but Ian sorted that quickly for me. I would certainly, and indeed have, recommend IWI design.

When we were looking to find a local company to design our new website, IWI design seemed to be the obvious choice as they were located on the same trading estate. From our initial meeting to the final website design, everything has gone smoothly and the end result has exceeded all our expectations.
We were not looking to spend a fortune, but we wanted a clean, professional looking website that was easy to use. IWI design delivered on all counts.
Throughout the design process, they were always on hand. They listened to our ideas and made suggestions. Most importantly they were happy to make amendments and tweaks until we were completely happy with the finished product
We have received many positive comments from customers about the new website and I would not hesitate to recommend IWI Design to business colleagues and friends. We will certainly be working with them on future projects.

IWI Design provided me with a complete end to end service, including logo design and ecommerce website. They came up with a design that looked bright and fresh and that really stands out from my competitors. At no time during the design phase was anything too much trouble.
Once the website design was completed, they patiently answered all my daft questions and gave me all the help I needed to ensure that I could use it effectively.
I would not hesitate to recommend IWI Design to anyone who wants a website that is anything but average.

I have been using IWI Design for about 7 years now, and in that time i have always found them to be both friendly and professional.
They have revamped or redesigned my website on numerous occaisions, normally at my request as i have had a another brainwave as to how i would like to see it.
Each time they have done a excellent job and i have had numerous comments on how good our site is from both suppliers and customers.
I would have no hesitation in recommending them or indeed using them myself again, in fact with the last month they have just revamped my site again, due to my coming up with yet another version of what i wanted, and it was exactly as i wanted and done within a week.
I am sure that shortly I will be unhappy again and back to see the boys at IWI Design to make more changes, my website is like the perfect lasting broom that i have had for 10 years now, it has had only 8 heads and 4 handles, my web site is a bit like that , I keep wanting something changeing and they do their very best to ensure I get what i want, keep up the good work lads, and I am sure I will see you soon
