Reviews
Pedalo are a delight to work with. Our decision to use their services was based upon their previous web designs along with their friendly and professional approach. Very quickly we felt confident that they could deliver what we asked for.
Their response to our interest was positive and efficient. Although it was evident that they had limited experience in working on educational sites, they very quickly understood our ethos.
The project was managed extremely well with pedalo accomodating our requirements. Regular communication and committment from all parties led the project to run smoothly and complete within acceptable timescales. Any issues or problems were dealt with immediately.
We are very happy with our website and continue to work with pedalo.
Instructed Pedalo early last summer to design and create a professional website for us. We had a slightly non-standard requirement which they were able to understand and to act on - we worked closely together to achieve a website we are very happy with. Everything in the process went smoothly and to schedule and we have also been happy with subsequent contact we have had when we've had questions on changes, updates etc. Would recommend them.
FMCA - Cropper & Company
It has been an absolute pleasure to work with Pedalo from start to finish.
Having experienced working with other design companies, I really appreciated the time they took to understand what my site was seeking to achieve and how to translate that concept into an end product.
Pedalo have been very supportive in the tweaks needed as the site has evolved in the last year. The site was a total upgrade from a 'do it yourself' version we had made in years past and the end result speaks for itself - it's been given a complete visual facelift and the navigation structure has been improved dramatically. I also found the price quote to be very competitive.
In short, I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Pedalo. Their quality of service has been outstanding.

We assign each website a project manager to make sure the client has someone to turn to at all stages and they are looked after with the highest possible standard of customer service.

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?
Pedalo Limited:
”One of the most important factors is evaluating which companies have the experience and knowledge needed to meet the needs of your project. It is also important to check out their portfolio of work to judge their standard of work. Rather than making a decision based on price, you should look at what you are getting for the price quoted.”

Pedalo Limited:
”PC”

If you were to give your clients one tip on how to get the most from their website what would it be?
Pedalo Limited:
”You need to be clear on what you are trying to achieve with your website, this will make it so much easier for you to market and gives a clear understanding to your web designers and developers on what they can do for you to make sure your website is everything you want and more. Keeping your website active with fresh content is essential to make an impact on search engine rankings and for your website to be seen as valuable. ”
