Reviews
Toolkit Websites were extremely professional and helpful throughout the entire design process.
My allocated designer was Kitty Westhorp. She seemed to be one step ahead knowing exactly what I wanted from the site. We had a number of pre-arranged telephone appointments to discuss the finer points of the content. These were always updated for me to review before our next call. I wanted my site up and running by the second week in January and this is exactly what was achieved. Thank you Kitty, it was a pleasure working with you.
Looking to review our old website and bring it up to a current standard, I employed a website company at the beginning of this year. A short while ago I received a courtesy call back from Toolkit Websites, (whose services I had previously discounted on the basis that the chosen company were closer in proximity - now understanding that this should have had no relevance!) and having becoming quite disenchanted with my provider and the service I was receiving, I decided (with some trepidation) to switch web site providers.
I could not be more delighted at this decision.................. I had an amazing young lady called Kitty who talked me through the whole re-design process, and whilst there is not a massive change to the look of the site, there IS a change! It's brighter, more relevant, great links to our Twitter, Facebook and my own personal blog still, but somehow the whole feel of it is more polished and represents what we as an award winning pub are about! I also know they'll tutor me through being able to change things myself as well as make changes for me.
I also could not fault the inter-action between myself and Toolkit Websites. Telephone appointments / consultations are made and kept, all calls outside those appointments are answered immediately with friendliness and professionalism. You don't receive recorded messages telling you that someone will get back to you - and then they don't!
Kitty had some great subtle ideas, and the ones I had (maybe not so subtle!) she worked with and made them happen. Best of all - it was jargon free....... I understood what was needed and how it would work, and where I wasn't sure, then the advice was more than forthcoming. The work was achieved very quickly and the finished website is fantastic - we are delighted.
I would not hesitate in recommending Toolkit Websites to anyone thinking of using them.
Liz Hore - Licensee, Victoria Inn, Salcombe
We approached Toolkit Websites with a fully defined requirement in terms of design, timeframe and budget. The team excelled themselves and really could not have done anything else to better deliver on their promise - not only in terms of the design but also meeting a VERY tight timeframe (complex website design launched in two weeks) that no other CMS based web desgin agency could even entertain.
Their approach to customer service is rare to see in the industry, the personal attention is second to none and essential in accurately capturing and executing efficient feedback loops and creating the perfect website. The team is incredibly responsive and proactively drives the project forward, clearly communicating requirements, progress and next steps throughout the entire engagement. I particularly rate their no quibble unlimited changes until we got a website that we were delighted with, greeted with a smile, patience and willingness to try what we asked and responding with ideas when our did not work.
Toolkit Websites did more than exceed our expectations, they have done a tremendous job and I would not hesitate to recommend them to any business needing a slick and easy to manage online presence.
The service from Toolkit Websites has been constantly excellent: from listening to my ideas and getting the website off the ground to providing first-class support to help me develop the content. The content management system has been ideal for WordStuff, allowing me to expand the website as the company and its services has grown. It's reassuring to know that you have Toolkit Websites in your corner and I would not hesitate to recommend them.
I have found Toolkit Websites Ltd an absolute pleasure to work with. They have completely redesigned my website in just over a week and I am delighted with the results. I am delighted by the efficiency and level of service they always deliver no matter what type of job I have for them. I find them very helpful in suggesting ideas as well as being extremely professional in listening to your needs. This not the first time I have used them and it certainly wont be the last. Many thanks again for all your help and support!!!
toolkit taught me the value of response time. i have never worked with a company so fast at getting back to you and so quick to deal with your requests.
since we started working together i have applied the same attitude to my own business and the amount of extra bookings i get because i answer so quickly is astounding.
every time we call toolkit the person answering the phone actually sounds pleased to hear from you and nothing is too much trouble. we have a wonderful relationship with the lovely alex.
toolkit took over our website one day when we sent out an email and got it a bit wrong....they phoned to see if we needed any help and the only regret i have is not being with them sooner!
thanks for being such a fabulous company and long may our relationship continue,

We have a number of sites that Toolkit Websites have designed and host for us. They are always professional and extremely helpful in the design stage. Being able to update the site ourselves is fantastic and the system that Toolkit have is very easy to use, if you do ever need any help with updating the site they are always happy to help. All the websites that we have with Toolkit, three at the moment, we are extremely happy with and we will be having more from them in the future. They are a pleasure to deal with and would highly recommend them as a company and their product.
SIMPLY BRILLIANT!! Proffessional but very personal service. They actualy listened to our needs and never seemed to tire of our endless changes of mind. They spoke my language and ultimatly delivered a beautiful looking website Intuitive design, incredibly easy to use and great support. Yet above all the site has had a huge effect on business. My advice is look no further Toolkits are the guys for the job.
I am really pleased with the service I received from Toolkit. From the outset I was given honest and professional advice and felt like I could trust what I was being told over the phone (which is often very difficult).
I never felt like I was being sold to or promised things that would never materialise. I was kept updated and assisted throughout the design process and am thrilled with the resulting website! It has proven to be really easy to navigate the toolkit site for designing and updating my website.
I would definitely highly recommend Toolkit for your web designing needs, as they are friendly, professional and design a very high calibre website for a lot less money than most reputable companies out there.
Thanks a lot!
Toolkit Websites provided me with an outstanding service. A dedicated project manager was allocated to me from the outset and proved to be invaluable throughout the entire design process; indeed all staff I made contact with through Toolkit Websites were exceptionally helpful, diligent and courteous. Response times to any queries were always hugely quick and the advice and guidance to the point and totally clear.
The net result is a business website that really looks professional; just what I wanted. I strongly recommend Toolkit Websites.
I found Toolkit Websites to be exceptionally helpful throughout the website design process. The design they created is really eye catching, and I love how easy it is to update.
The staff are all really professional and friendly on the phone as well! I'd definately recommend them to anyone looking for a website. They don't use jargon, and make sure you understand what they're talking about. They also really listened to my ideas, and gave me advice on whether they were good or not!
Each part of the website design process was explained really clearly, and I never felt like I was out of the loop.
