Reviews
Our experience with Vibrant colour has been exceptional from the initial design of the web site to the launch. We had a very easy and jargon free meeting to discuss our requirements, we were kept informed throughout the design process and well advised on page layouts and wording. Any complications were very quickly solved by our web designer who is always happy to help. The finished product is fantastic, we have had many excellent comments about our site and we would recommend vibrant colour to any Business. ( Special thanks to Christopher )
I was pretty much a layman regarding web designs and Chris explained his ideas to me about what was needed very well and I felt that I could communicate what I wanted to him easily. He was left to design it and I had complete confidence that I was going to get exactly what I needed for my business. Any problems and enhancements were sorted with no problems and he remains one call away if I have any queries. He's really helpfull and switched on to this work and I will undoubtably reccommend him to anyone who is seeking this sort of service.
Very, very, very impressed with the standard of work and the initiative of Vibrant Colour. Always very prompt which is very important for me. Not only have they completed my website but designed and printed our leaflets too. Would i recommend Vibrant Colours to family and friends?????? Already have and will remain to aswell.
Christopher has been excellent in designing my web site. I'm a small buisness and wanted the personal touch without the high price tag. He was prompt in calling me back,came to the office within a day, quick to design the web site taking into acount my ideas and adding his own ideas too. Completed the web site in record time and at a very reasonable price. Would definately use him again for other work that he does such as printing.
If you are looking for someone to trust to design your website then please consider Vibrant colour web design. I had a poorly performing website which wasn't ranking well on google or looking that great either, but thanks to Christopher at Vibrant Colour it now looks great and is performing miles better.
The coms were great and I received clear information on the whole process. I feel you can trust them to do the job really well and at a fair price.
Top marks!

We were very pleased with the advice and guidance we received from the web designer, very knowledgeable and understood our requests. We were kept informed during the process and given advised on suitabilty of our ideas. The end result was far superior than we imagined and we are more than pleased with the web design. Clear advice was given on how to manage the site and demonstrations took place. There is also a good follow up service if you need further advice and guidance.
As a busy letting agent we tasked Chris to design a user friendly site which also gave the profesional image we wished to portray. We do lettings, we don't do web design, as such we needed someone who could go away and produce the goods for us with minimal fuss.
Suffice to say, job done. More importantly, as we've expanded and needed a few tweaks to the site, these have been completed quickly and efficiently. We would happily recommend Vibrant colour to anyone.
Christopher won our design competition in 2004 and again has redesigned our website for this year. Over the years we have found him to be very capable and Innovative in supplying what we required on the website. We think the idea of a news feeder was a very useful tool and to be able to update our News page is highly advantagous. We intend to have a long and continued association with him. We would recommend him most highly.

Vibrant Colour helped with all aspects of creating a new web site for my company. from start to finish, it was handled in a very proffesional manner. As i was not aware of how to change my address and take ownership of it, Vibrant Colour arranged all of this for me.
Throughout the whole process of design until going live, i was kept informed of the progress and updated at all steps.
My website was designed to my specifacation and i was advised as to what would work well. My overall opinion of Vibrant Colour is that i could not be happier with the service, cost, attention to detail and the personal touch you get from a local company.
I would gladly reccommened Vibrant Colour to any of my colleuges, friends and anyone else wishing to get on the net.
My relationship with Christopher, my web designer has been one to one at all times. He has always been on the other end of the phone and returned calls or e-mails within 24 hours. Usually within one hour! If I have needed him to come over to the house he has always worked within my convenience.
Christopher fullfilled every request I made but also added his own good ideas and advice. If I ever needed anything explaining Chris abliged perfectly.
I have been part of the whole process throughout and found Christopher exceeded all my expectations! He has added the benefit of a very clean and uncomplicated read and the pictures are beautifully clear.
I have at times needed changes, ie price increases, and up-to-date photographs, again, all I have needed to do is contact Christopher and he has immediately abliged all my requests.
The colour, layout and wording has been edited to the highest standard. My own customers have commented on "MY" fantastic web page, that always says it all.
I can recommend Christopher to anyone who needs this perfect service.

Christopher and Vibrant Colour where recommended to me and subsequently proved to be worthy of that recommendation. Following an initial telephone call everything happened very quickly, and I am extremely happy with my website created by Christopher, I've already had 2 enquiries and 1 booking in the first 2 weeks of going live.
I have never had a website before but I am now able to update the site myself when required, I
The web designer fulfilled the brief exactly. With a few pointers on what the site was expected to do and with some indication of style, the designer produced a very pleasing website. After one consultaion, I was able to develop the site myself and begin to up date and change the initial site.
I am really pleased with the end result and I am confident about future support when required.
In order to promote our villa I felt I needed a simple, effective but eyecatching website.
I contacted Vibrant Colour and from the moment I gave them the brief they showed nothing but enthusiasm, commitment and professionalism.
They were a pleasure to work with and we enjoyed excellent two way communication. Nothing was too much for them even when my demands may have seemed a little exacting. They delivered me an excellent product, on time and within budget!
I would not hesitate in recommending them to any individual or business for their website requirements!
In fact I have another website project in the pipeline and Vibrant Colour are the only company I will be talking to.
I worked very closely with Christopher over the design period, with regular contact and testing to make sure that we got what we wanted out of the website. I was more than impressed with the speed that comments and requests were acted on, and more importantly how quickly the shell for our site was created.
As someone who has no experience of Web Design and Development, I have to admit that at times I was blown away by his capabilities, but Christopher always took the time to explain and demonstrate what he was doing.
As a result I now feel that I have the ability to confidently add more content to the site, and with Christopher's help assist the Explorer Scouts in updating their site, which will help towards badge work.
Vibrant Colour did a fantastic job for us and still provide us with a fantastic level of support and service whenever needed. Personally, I had a vision of what I wanted from our website and how I wanted it to look and feel and Vibrant certainly delivered. I was kept informed of the progress throughout the whole set up and really felt a part of it. As with any new development there are always things that could be improved, and Christopher certainly took full ownership of those things and put them right.
I have already recommended the services above onto friends and clients of our business and I wish Christopher and Vibrant Colour every success with all new and existing ventures.

The relationship between myself and Vibrant Colour has been on a personal and business level for many years, so when I needed a website for the company, I had no hesitation in contacting them. I am taking quotes for a new website, complete with domains, hosting, design and maintenance, and Vibrant Colour is favourable for the contract, which is one of the biggest design jobs we have had to date! I wish to keep in contact with the company, as they have also helped out many times even on mundane levels such as computer maintenance and password resets. I wish them luck in business for the future!
The relationship between Vibrant Colour and me is a good one. Whenever I ask for help, Vibrant Colour is there to give me it. I only bought a domain and hosting through VC a I wanted to design my own website. This is by far one of the best Web Designers/Hosts I could find, who I knew I could trust and expect super service from. The setup process of my domain and hosting was very rapid on Vibrant Colour's part.. Overall I am very pleased and to this day, I still get great support when needed. Thanks VC :-) .
First class relationship - communication face to face, email and on the phone are excellent.
The whole approach was customer centric - with all our requests and requirements fully taken into account. At all times we were totally involved in the process and kept fully informed and constructive and useful advice and suggestions made.
Technical advice and knowledge excellent. The ability to explain complex information simply and effectively was an important plus point for us.
The end product exceeded our expectations - and was delivered well ahead of the planned completion date. Subsequent enhancements and requests for changes have been handled both very efficiently and delivered quickly.
The organisation was a pleasure to deal with and we have every confidence in their asbility to provide us with effective business solutions on an ongoing basis.
Highly recommended - this supplier is and will remain our first port of call regarding web deign.
i Didn't have my site designed by vibrant colour but they did supply me with the domain and hosting at a very cheap price and would in future go back for the full works : design,Hosting,Domain as they are fantastic value for money
Reason for not having design first time round was because we did the design 'in House' !!Bad idea!! always go to the best E.g vibrant colour
Vibrant Colour helped us to redesign our one page website into a full and informative site for both potential members and existing members to find out what is happening in the Club.
Vibrant Colour have been very professional in their dealings with us, and have kept us advised in a non-technical way that we could understand easily. Transferring the website from the previous site was extremely painless and very quick.
The Club members are very pleased with the new website and we have already attracted new members through it, which means it has been self-financing, although the costs for the new site are extremely competitive.
I have already recommended a number of my contacts to Vibrant Colour and will continue to do so.
The relationship with Vibrantcolour is very good, friendly, and polite.
When I requested some new or more work to be done, the work was completed on the same day and back with me.
As the work went on with my site, I was always up to date with it, new ideas, changes, and more.
On many ocations I wanted to know about something they were doing on the site, and I got good answers and details into what it was.
I was very pleased with the end result of the hard work by Vibrantcolour, high quality, and in good time.
