As a professional musician, I need a website that is clear, quickly appealing and reliable, especially in the tricky area of sound files. I met Lamont Design while working with Starfish Designs and was instantly impressed by the great ideas, sense of integrity and commitment to making things happen.

I had an existing corporate identity, which Lamont Design worked with and invigorated to produce a great website that gets me lots of compliments. They came up with brilliant suggestions throughout the development process, somehow combining my ideas with their own outlook, and continue to be a responsive, reliable sounding board for my web presence. A few teething troubles were swiftly and cheerfully remedied and deadlines met.

Being a solo artist can often be lonely and leave you feeling exposed, so it is brilliant to have Lamont Design on my team - I feel that, as fellow creatives, they understand my business and have my back. I would wholeheartedly recommend Lamont Design to anyone who wants an enjoyable working relationship, vibrant creative process, and a cracking website.

PrintSmith knew of Lamont Design as when they started their business in Fort William they came to us for printing advice and quotations for their clients.

We had a website which was very dated and 'tired' so when we decided to revamp it we went to Lamont Design whose price was excellent. We were kept informed throughout the draft process and any changes we requested were made quickly and without any hassle.

Thankfully LD spoke to us 'jargon-free'. Re the final outcome - we were all extremely happy with our new website and at every opportunity I recommend LD to people interested in starting/renewing their website. The fact that we can review the amount of traffic on our website was a bonus.

Thoroughly recommend LD on all levels. Pleasure to work with.

From the minute I met Liz I knew I was going to use Lamont Design to create my website and design my branding! She sold Billy's talents incredibly well and their own website really appealed to me aesthetically.

All the way through the process Billy and LIz have been very professional but very down to earth and approachable with it. They are real, friendly, encouraging people with amazing talents. I also would like to add that they have been amazingly supportive to me as a person new to the area starting up a new business. The ongoing support and customer service I recieve is second to none. Thanks guys!

My website has had so many positive comments from clients and I am delighted with the fresh, contemporary look and ease of use it provides.

Thank you Billy & Liz!

Making the big decision of designing a new website is a big step for most people, who do you go with, how much will it be?, from the minute we met Liz and Billy we knew we would be working with them, they are a great pair, they understand the industry well, they know the areas of your business you need to highlight and a very easy to work with. We had many discussions about our site and bantered various ideas between each other and are very pleased with the outcome, I would recommend to anyone thinking of designing a new site to give them a call and have a chat, and they are not a dear as most people think, I will definately be working on them on other projects in the future.

Lamontdesign created a new website for my business following a complete re branding of the company. Billy has designed everything for me including new logo, leaflets, brochures and business cards and i am absolutely delighted with the results. The new wbsite really reflects our what our business is about and has attracted a lot of very positive comments from customers. I have already recommended lamontdesign to several colleagues/friends. Communication during projects is excellent and i really felt that Billy cared about my business and understood. I'm a complete idiot when it comes to computers and the jargon surrounding them but Billy offered great advice and explained things in easy to understand terms.
We continue to use lamontdesign for all our design needs and find them an exceptional company to deal with.

I asked Lamont Design to re-design the website of one of my clients, Hunter Demolition, and we are delighted with what they produced. The design is superb and answered the brief perfectly. Their professionalism and experience is most impressive and they are great people to deal with; it is a pleasure to work with them. I will certainly continue to use them in the future for other clients and I would recommend them to anyone.

Excellent from the first meeting onwards - Billy understood immediately what we were trying to convey on our site. Nothing was ( or still is) too much trouble for him. He was able to put over his ideas in a way that made me feel confident that we were both talking the same language. We were delighted with the final outcome and he still regularly updates our site for us, in fact he has become an invaluable behind-the-scenes member of our team.

I started up my company two years ago and tried to build my own website with poor results before going to Lamont Design.
One lesson I have learned from the last two years is if you look like a professional company then people treat you like one. My advice, go to Lamont Design and get that professional looking website that makes you stand out from your competitors. My business has taken off and 80% of my customers find me from my website. Professional, creative, and reliable, that is Lamont Design.

Liz approached me in 2010 after spotting my homemade, effort of a, web-site advertising our self-catering cottage in Spean Bridge.
She was a delight to speak to and listened to my thoughts and concerns of launching into a professionally designed site. She was full of helpful advice but NEVER pushy and suggested I talk further with Billy at my convenience.
Billy, too, is a down to earth professional and never rushed me off the phone despite being very busy. On my visit to their office in Fort William, I was more than delighted with the preview of the website and the final price was very reasonable. Over the first month of its launch poor Billy was inundated with emails from me chopping and changing photos....all of which he did with good grace until I was completely satisfied with the end result. The website speaks for itself.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Lamont design, (and have already done so) they deserve every success.

The service I received from start to finish was extremely professional and unpressured. The website I got is what I asked for and effective. It has been warmly received by guests and commented on as easy to use and good to look at. The after sales service and maintenance by Lamont Design has also been excellent and quickly carried out and I have no hesitation in recommending them. I also like the method built into the website that allows me to update certain areas. Other areas are always quickly updated by Billy and his team.

The process of having my website built, accommodating my requests was dealt with professionally and efficiently. The design process was to keep things fairly simple and easy to navigate and Billy kept me up to date with how things were moving along when he was putting it all together. All my requests were taken into consideration, so I still felt in control of how I wanted the end product to look like, within the constraints of the web-construction-package's capabilities! I have been happy with my site, and am looking forward to being able to update it myself over the coming months.

I found all members of the Lamont design team to be extremely helpful, courteous and attentive - not once was I made to feel 'stupid'; my lack of IT/web knowledge was not exploited and the whole process from initial enquiry through to final design was 'pain' free.

It was easy to be involved in key stages of the design and equally just as easy to have nothing to do with the 'boring' bits.

The aftercare service provided by Lamont Design has been excellent and I as a result of my own very positive experience with the business have recommended them to friends and work colleagues.
