Reviews
I would highly recommend Lampshade marketing to any of my professional acquaintances.
After trying to create a web site on my own to keep the costs of starting my new business I decided that it would be prudent to find a professional with an eye for detail and style. Lampshade marketing made it seem so
easy to create a web site that really works!
There were no complications at all, it seemed as though what I wanted was created so quickly and my brief was understood.
Any changes to the web site have been done so quickly which is a great help as I could then watch it being built and then with very professional advice tweak the site into just what i had imagined and needed.
I now feel very proud to ask possible clients to look at my site, and it works!
The entire process was very quick, slick, professional and very reasonably priced.
Matthew who built the site for me seemed to be on the same level and made the slightly nerve racking process a pleasure.
We're delighted with the website delivered for us by Lampshade Marketing. They produced a quality look and feel to the site, and did so with a minimum of fuss. We found working with them to be very straightforward. The talk in plain english and were happy to clarify any areas of uncertainty for us. Initial teething troubles were quickly resolved and post-launch they have continued to provide guidance and support when required by us.
Overall a stress free experience for us and a website we are very proud of - all at what most would regard as a fair price.
Lampshade Marketing offered me a great personal service, fast development of my site and a really stylish result tailored to my brand which I was able to select from a number of presented concepts. I was delighted with the gallery pages which were perfect for my photography business, and the training to allow my to update this myself in future for total flexibility. A very competitive price too - I'd definitely recommend them.
