Reviews
Penny worked with us on the design of our website from the very start of Mountain Air in 2004 and was fully involved in the process until our website went live in October 2004. The website has seen changes in the period since then and Penny has provided invaluable advice along the way and as Stafford Website Company has grown we have been very pleased to work with other members of the team. Keeping us up to date with new developments, Stafford Website Company is like an additional member of the MAH team, so that we stay on top of what we need to do to keep our website up with the current trends whilst being consistent with our brand image.
We never realised how important our website was going to be for us! We update it regularly with our sale catalogues and information and the Stafford Website Company have always been there with instant website amends, support and ideas.
We now have over 1000 visitors to our website every month and use email marketing to send out catalogue out to our customers. It saves us both time and effort and makes our customers lives easier too.
Thank you to everyone at Stafford Website Company
We are a Staffordshire based export orientate Company with over 90% of our sales in Asia and South East Asia. Having spent a good deal of time considering the value of adding a website to our marketing portfolio to support our progressive Sales & Marketing plan. After lengthy discussion and exploring a number of options with website providers we decided to go forward with Stafford Website Company; "what a breath of fresh air"
They proved to be good listeners and able to professionally interpret our ideas and thoughts in an innovative and creative manner. Unlike many other web-design companies, they played an invaluable part in both the construction and layout of the site and took a good deal of time understanding our business and this was clearly reflected in the ultimate design of the site and the supporting narrative.
We regarded and still regard them as part of our marketing team going forward.
I cannot praise Stafford Website Company highly enough. Penny and her team really listen to you; to your ideas and what your overall business objectives are. Taking these on board they offered honest, sound advice as to the best way forward and did so in plain English, avoiding jargon so that I felt fully involved throughout the project. I had strong ideas about the look & feel I wanted to achieve with my site and Stafford Website Company translated these into a slick, professional design that offers great visitor experience.
The result is a website that is all that I
The Stafford Website Company developed Sharpen Equestrian for us which is a Content Management System site giving us full control of the sites content.
They helped us by writing the copy and sourcing the photographs too.
We will be using Stafford Web to develop and future clients websites that we are commissioned, so looking forwards to a long running relationship.
Working with the Stafford Website Company has been a great experience, we worked well together and I appreciated the way they understood my company, took my ideas and turned them into reality.
I was part of the process all the way through, and thy spoke to me in a jargon free way.
I am very happy with the final outcome and continue to work with them to market and manage my website on a day to day level.
Excellent company that really caters for your needs and requirements in a small business. Allows management of your own website which helps keep costs low but provides essential support as and when necessary. Completely involved in all parts of the build and site produced better than i had imagined. Highly recommended.
