Reviews
Wannabe Creative provided a professional service and delivered it in a very personable manner.
Excellent communication made it easy to get the website up and running in a short period of time.
Our administration area is straightforward, and allows instant updating and modification of content.
Any questions/issues we have are responded to quickly and never seems to be any trouble.
I would highly recommend the guys at Wannabe Creative to anyone.
Working with Wannabe Creative was a delight from the initial concept to the finished website. The service is still there even after the site went live with offers of help and advice along the way.
They were a delight to work with and they were open to any ideas and extended and improved my thoughts until I was completely satisfied with the end result (even though I kept changing my mind).
All in all it was a good experience and I would thoroughly recommend them to anyone.
Thanks guys.
I found this company to be excellent to deal with. From the word go they were cuteous, approachable and very professional. An eye for detail and great imagination helped go a long way to providing a finished article that I was extremely delighted with. Nothing was a hassle, I would easily use them again, or indeed reccomend them.
I approached Wannabe Creative to create and design a profile website. After consultation with the company, the final result was everything I had in mind and more. The advice and expertise I received was first class with quick responses to all my queries. The site was up and running within days of passing on my thoughts and ideas. I would strongly recommend Wannabe Creative to anyone.
We hired Wannabe Creative recently to design and implement an online shop in order to make our business more profitable. The results have been astonishing. The professional approach and skill level of Wannabe Creative is as impressive as the results themselves. An intuitive understanding of our requirements made Wannabe the number one choice for us. The level of commitment is literally 24/7, 365 days a year.
I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending the services of this company. We have re-hired Wannabe Creative for a second and third phase of our online business development program and look forward to working closely with them as our businesses grow.
- Web Designer was very approachable and quick to resolve issues.
- They tailor-made my website to my exact specification and still continue to support any changes that i request, this shows that they value customer care.
- They were clear and up front regarding total costs and timescales for completion, something which we value highly as a business ourselves.
- WannaBe Creative took us by the hand as we had no prior experience of webpages before, they showed us many various options for pages, all we had to do was to provide the content and sit back and relax.
- All in all they were a great little company to work with, would highly recommend!
I really can't speak highly enough about Wannabe Creative!
From the outset they understood everything I wanted. I asked for a clean, crisp looking site and that's exactly what I got. I think we spoke once, for 5 minutes, on the phone. All other correspondence has been through email.
Nothing seems to be too much trouble. Any changes I asked for were implemented really quickly.
I could go on and on but I won't. If you want a website designed, use Wannabe Creative, end of.
