Fantastic work carried out by Ubisan and partners. Took a basic brief and turned it into a fully formed website which was simple and easy for me to keep my eye on afterwards. Pricing was very pleasant...

Reviews
Fantastic work carried out by Ubisan and partners. Took a basic brief and turned it into a fully formed website which was simple and easy for me to keep my eye on afterwards. Pricing was very pleasant as well.
What made the deal special though was that the guys have kept an eye on the site for me - even though there was no support deal - and given advice on how to tweak and improve it. They've also been on hand any time I've accidently broken the site.
If you're looking for people who do a good job at a decent price with no-BS involved, then these are the guys to speak to.
All work carried out diligently, no sales distractions or gimmicks, the work was completed properly and expertly at a realistic affordable price. My website previously designed by another company was ineffective, difficult to manage and did not attract any business. In comparison, Ubisan was a pleasure to deal with, they analysed the main issues, which finally resulted in producing a product that was attractive, effective and manageable. In due course further developments will gradually be introduced.

100% happy with recent work on new website front page.
Good, effective communication throughout project with tweaks and revisions handled quickly and easily.
Sound advice on technical and aesthetic considerations given and explained clearly with responses to questions and requests handled very efficiently.
Overall a painless experience which resulted in exactly the website we were looking for at this stage.
Ubisan did a great job on our elie-cottage website - evolving the design, adding new content and improving the architecture to make more 'search' friendly. We are now front page for 5 of our 10 most important key phrases (and improving all the time), traffic and enquiries and bookings have tripled since we have been working with them. Very responsive and excellent to work with. Could'nt recommend them highly enough.
I really can't say enough good things about Ubisan. Having dealt with many web design companies over the years, I can safely say that they are right up there. We approached them for help optimising our web presence - and Colin Hardie's expertise on SEO has had a transformational effect on our hit rates. Moreover, they are extremely friendly, they know their business, and always go well beyond the call of duty to help.
Before acting, Ubisan listened and gained an understanding of my business. They then produced a very professional website in line with my requirements. I found working with Ubisan very straight forward. Their focus on delivering quality for the customer is why I would recommend Ubisan to any business who plans to progress as a brand and online.
Colin Hardie of Ubisan Management designed our website.
He communicated very well with us, listened to our requests and put forward good ideas of his own. We felt very well informed at all times about what he was doing. Any problems or misunderstandings were minor and very quickly sorted.
Colin had visited here and met us prior to designing our website and was able to reflect the whole ampbience of the location very well on the website.
We were very happy with the final outcome and pleased that is has worked and bookings have increased. Guests have also commented favourably on the website and it's ease of use and information. It is our most effective marketing tool with about 60%+ of bookings coming from the website.
We are also impressed by the "aftercare" and updates to keep the site fresh and interesting.
Ubisan built and maintain Rokbun a music blog for live shows and news on the Scottish scene. Ubisan made the whole process straightforward and continue to make the running of the site very straightforward for us. They are quick and responsive to queries and have been very accommodating changes especially in the early days during the dialogue on the design of the site.
We approached Ubisan Management because they have extensive experience of working with companies within the charitable and voluntary sectors and had come highly recommended by a number of organisations we work with.
We were really impressed with their approach to the project and the way they helped us establish an excellent, professional looking web presence with what was a fairly limited budget.
Our website is very easy to update and we've greatly appreciated the ongoing support and advice that we receive from Colin Hardie with respect to social media and search engine optimisation. We feel lucky to find a company that understands our work so well and don't disappear as soon as they've been paid.
We'd definitely recommend Ubisan Management to any other company looking for a great, reliable and attractive website that is easy to update and increases your profile.
We have found Ubisan Management to be a most professional and First Class Company to deal with. All requests were carried out with precision and courtesy. Feedback from customers has been excellent...They all love the design of our new website and more importantly, we are being found by the major search engine sites! Ecosse Travel has no hesitation in recommending Ubisan Management as a reputable and highly rated Company.
Keep up the great work!
We developed a great relationship with Ubisan Management.
We chose them because their content management system was really easy to use and as we were going to offer it to other charities it was important that this was the case and that it would be easy to implement. Which it was.
We got a lot of practical advice in how to generate website content that would be picked up by search engines and someone was always on the end of the phone whenever we needed a bit of advice about images, content or anything really!
For what we paid, we got a fantastic website which was delivered on time and I'd heartily recommend them to anyone else.
Ubisan Management cannot be thanked enough for the design and construction of our website. Meticulous in every detail and competitively priced also. Construction has been made with the principal factor of site optimisation and we finding ourselves on first pages of search engines for most of our key words & phrases. Thank you very much Colin for the professionalism and attention to detail you have displayed! We look forward to a continued and long lasting business relationship with Ubisan Management.
