Reviews
I had previously had a very bad experience with various web design companies and thus was at a point of giving up till I contacted Mushroom Digital. I spoke to Mushroom Digital and were very impressed by their initial pitch - having been in this situation before I categorically requested numerous references so as to make sure. Thankfully all the references were more than positive which gave me the ultimate peace of mind to use Mushroom Digital. From day one their communication was outstanding, keeping me upto date with all progress - this being very important to me. In my own mind I had ideas of what I thought could work and they fully took this on board to make me feel involved at every stage of the project. One of their main assets was to speak in plain english, ie with no jagon - their transparency help me fully understand exactly what was going on at all times. There were many complications and hiccups along the way due to my previous company however Mushroom dealt with these in a very productive, pro-acive and methodical manner - "We cant do this or that" was never an option from them! They always found a work-around. Not only did they rectify the problems I initially came to them with - they exceeded my expectations by adding in functionality specific to my field of work -This was nice to see as there are too many people out there trying to pacify you with their generic thoughts and functionality. Mushroom Digital u-turned my project to one which had become non-viable to one that is now trading - first sales within a matter of days! I would whole heartidly recommend their professional approach to business and their innovative way of thinking.

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?
Mushroom Digital:
”Speak to the companies clients, ask them if their websites have been profitable for them. Ask about their experience with the designer and developer you would possibly be assigned with. Make sure your website is not outsourced, the coding that comes back is terrible and won't be easy to work with in future.”
WWDC:
Where do you see your company in 10 years time?

WWDC:
Where do you see the web design industry in the future?
Mushroom Digital:
”It's getting cheaper by the day to get a website created. Don't let your website get outsourced, ensure it's made in the UK or other established countries. Coding standards are a large element to a website, the code you never see is what makes sure everything works well.”
WWDC:
What computers do you have use in your offices, PCs or Macs?
Mushroom Digital:
”Both PC and Mac”

WWDC:
If you were to give your clients one tip on how to get the most from their website what would it be?
Mushroom Digital:
”Get your website linked on lots of websites, directories, discount sites, price comparrison websites, any website link you get helps improve your websites visability. The bigger the website that links to you the better. It's a lot of work to do this, the profit you will see in return will be worth it - trust me.”
