Reviews
We have been working with TidalWave UK Limited for nearly 5 years now, and in all that time they have given us excellent support. Initially they designed, produced and optimized the Dogs and Birds website and online shop. They were always fast and efficient whilst designing the site and were quick to implement any revisions. A couple of years ago TidalWave carried out a major revision of the site, using the new version of Joomla. Again their work was excellent, and we are very pleased with the result. All members of the team are friendly, easy to work with and very responsive. Advice on any aspect of running the site is always readily available when needed. The response to all of our questions is always rapid. We enjoy a very fruitful working relationship with TidalWave UK Limited, and we strongly recommend them for web design and support.
Tidalwave UK is a small, highly skilled & professional IT company. I have found them to be extremely helpful and easy to deal with and unlike other IT companies I have come accross, at Tidalwave you speak to real people in a language you can understand! On first meeting, they quickly understood the needs of my business and offered solutions & suggestions on how I could move forward. They explained any options clearly & offered a couple of website designs before I decided on the final one. Once work on the project began, I was kept well informed of progress & consulted regularly. The website/ online shop and integrated database system for www.NaturalBabyShower.co.uk has been running extremely successfully for 3 years now, over which time, Tidalwave have provided excellent support. They maintain great communication and advise of any new developments which are relevant to my business. Fantastic customer service
Great service given by Tidalwave. Really nice people to work with as they explained everything in English not techinically; Helped us understand the benefits of adding Twitter and Facebook . Tidalwave were very patient with us as we kept changing items.
We have had lots of compliments on our website from our members and even rivals & would thoroughly recommend them.
We have been working with Tidalwave for quite a few years now and have used them for all our IT work.
At present our web site is being updated as we feel that we need to stay ahead of our competition therefore are using Tidalwave again to do this. We feel they have a hands on approach to helping us with our ideas and often improving them to reach a far superior product that potential customers will enjoy viewing.
Their technical knowledge is up to date especially in all areas of web work and would recommend them to everyone.

I began my creative exploration as a young girl and later studied Design on a professional level. Through Web Design I try to merge technology and my knack of artistic sense. That is why I look at Web Development and Graphic Design as an extension of my artistic repertoire. I joined TidalWave as Web designer and front-end Web Developer four years ago. I specialise in designing and creating custom web sites for a varied client base. If you want visuals of what we do please visit tidalwaveuk.co.uk
