Reviews
XCEL web Designed were professional and efficient after I chose them to design a new website. I required a website ready within a tight timeframe and they rose to the occasion. All queries were promptly answered and their communications both by e-mail and on the phone were excellent. I am already lining up additional work for them off the back of the original enquiry......I am one happy customer!
When I initially contacted Farzan at Xcel Web Design, I was looking for something that would stand out from other sites and I must say that I definitely made the right choice with this company! One thing that made me decide to work with them was the fact that the website was going to be built from scratch. It was also reassuring to know that there were no limitations on the number of times that the design concept could be rejected. Other companies usually charge every time you do that, so as far as price goes, no other web designer will give you the same package for that price. Xcel Web Design was also great in other respects. I had some ideas about what I wanted my site to look like and Farzan guided me through the entire process and gave me some very useful advice on anything that I was unsure about. He made the whole process clear and uncomplicated. Farzan also provided very good customer support throughout the process and I would recommend Xcel Web Design to anyone who is looking for a decent web designer at the fraction of the cost.
XCEL Web Design comments:
Thank You Sean
It has been a pleasure working with you to build your website.
Farzan
I would just like to say big thank you to farzan at xcel he made me a stunning website and at great speed, communication was superb and he did his everythink he could to make the website just how i wanted it .He was very friendly, helpful and professional and I would reccomend to everyone and will be using again in the future.
Thanks
Superb service provided with quick and efficient design services and correspondence. A modern website has been created with minimal input from myself including adaptations to suit the specific needs. Xcel Web design provided both expertise and efficiency throughout.A pleasure to work with and would highly recommend to anyone who is setting up, or thinking about setting up a website.
This is a great company with fast, friendly staff who work through all your needs and produce a great website. The staff were happy with any amendments i had and always offered good advice. The company also offer great value for money when compared to other similar companies. This combined with the great service makes this company a real winner.
I recently ordered a website from Xcelwebdesign and am very pleased with the outcome. The web designer responded very quickly and was more than accommodating to my every question and request. Any problems I had he would either call or email instantly. The website he built from scratch in less than 10 days. It has over 22 pages and a lot of content, also has Facebook and a twitter feeds incorporated into the site.
All in all he has delivered and excellent product in a short amount of time. I can recommend this web designer to anybody, and can assure you that whatever the outcome you will not be disappointed.
XCEL Web Design comments:
Thanks for the review Ricky
It was a pleasure working with you to design your website and I'm glad that, like many of our customers, you've been satisfied with our service.
Farzan Ahmed
Director
Farzan has over 10 years' experience in building websites that are found by major search engines.
WWDC:
What's your name and position in the company?
XCEL Web Design:
”Farzan Ahmed, Company Director”
WWDC:
Describe your company in 5 words.
XCEL Web Design:
”Friendly, Efficient, Professional Web Designers”
WWDC:
What's your business philosophy?
XCEL Web Design:
”XCEL Web Design lives up to its strapline of "delivering excellence" - we chose this strapline as we strongly believe that almost anything can be achieved if we try hard enough - that's why we expect all our web designers to exceed expectations or at the VERY least, meet them - where we fail, we put it right - that isn't compromised.”
WWDC:
Describe your office environment.
XCEL Web Design:
”We work in a friendly, relaxed environment where we have access to other colleagues to help us out if we get stuck, and to share ideas and teach each other new skills on a regular basis.
It's all in the working culture we created.”
WWDC:
Describe how your team interact and work together.
XCEL Web Design:
”We usually interact either face to face or over the phone, but we also use CRM systems to interact with each other so we know where each of us are up to in case one falls ill or any other unforeseen circumstances.”
WWDC:
What makes you different from other web design companies?
XCEL Web Design:
”The key things that makes us different from other web design companies are that we teach our clients on how to update their website content if they need to, so they don't have to pay to have their website updated later down the line.
The other thing is that we donate a percentage of our INCOME (not profit) to charity every year.”
WWDC:
How do you get the majority of your business?
XCEL Web Design:
”The majority of our business comes from Search Engines and Word of Mouth.”
WWDC:
Describe how you manage projects from the initial client contact to completion and handover.
XCEL Web Design:
”Engage with the client regularly and constantly review the clients' needs.”
WWDC:
What do you think is the most crucial element of creating a good client relationship?
XCEL Web Design:
”Making sure the client understands what you're offering - that way there's no surprises. That's why we don't use jargon and put things in plain english.”
WWDC:
How do you manage demanding clients?
XCEL Web Design:
”We talk to all clients, including demanding ones. It's about understanding the clients' needs and managing expectations.”
WWDC:
If a client was trying to decide between a shortlist of web design companies, how would you recommend they go about selecting the right one for them?
XCEL Web Design:
”Price is important obviously, but the client needs to understand the website - that's why a 'plain english' web design company would be handy, but you also need one that's not going to charge you 'maintainence' fees if you don't need them - that will just bump the price up later obviously.”
WWDC:
Where do you see your company in 10 years time?
XCEL Web Design:
”XCEL Web Design hopes to be a national company in 10 years time.”
WWDC:
Where do you see the web design industry in the future?
XCEL Web Design:
”The Web Design industry will change dramatically, with more and more clients needing mobile websites as well as the traditional web browser sites.”
WWDC:
What computers do you have use in your offices, PCs or Macs?
XCEL Web Design:
”PC”
WWDC:
How was your company name chosen?
XCEL Web Design:
”It came from the word "excellence"”
WWDC:
If you were to give your clients one tip on how to get the most from their website what would it be?
XCEL Web Design:
”Market it properly using our Social Media integration service”
