Reviews
We are a tourism marketing group in the Highlands of Scotland with around 35 subscription paying members. We had a limited budget for the re-design and re-launch of our website.
Duncan and Lucy at Pole Position were certainly the right choice for us. They interpreted our design brief (such as it was) to perfection and explained the various elements of the developing site in jargon free language. Throughout the whole project they displayed patience, good humour, sound advice and total customer focus.
We are extremely happy that Pole Position are hosting our site - and so the excellent working relationship continues.
Pole Position were always helpful and well informed and quick to respond to any changes or modifications required during the setup process - Any delays in the process were our own! They helped with photography and content as well as the website creation. They were available throughout the testing stages, on hand to fix any of the minor glitches and have been available since to deal with any ongoing technical queries with the site. They directed us to technical support websites too, to gain a greater insight into the programmes we were using. We have received numerous comments about the professional nature and appearance of our website - of which we are very proud.
