Reviews
Planning your website is a daunting task, a task that was made so much more enjoyable and hassle free by Jason and Frazer from Wombat Design Specialists. We needed the services of a company we could actually talk to and develop a relationship with, and that is exactly what we got. No automated telephone answering system or job logging that takes up valuable time. Both Frazer and Jason are approachable, friendly and very professional, delivering a faultless service.
Since our website has been up and running they have remained approachable and efficient in the delivery of their service, ensuring that their commitment to us as a customer did not stop once the "bill had been paid".
We would recommend using Wombat Design Specialists to anyone who is looking for an efficient, approachable, company who advise, design and host extremely well presented and informative websites.
I can’t recommend Wombat Web Design highly enough. The boys were warm, friendly and knowledgeable; nothing was too much trouble for them. They went out of their way to explain things so I had a full understanding of what was involved and kept me update throughout the project.
I am delighted with the website and the continuing support we have received from Wombat Web Design. If you are looking for a website don’t hesitate to give them a call, you won’t be disappointed.
I employed the services of Wombat Web Design based in Cumbria to produce a website for a new business. Lake District Motorhome Hire based in the Lake District. The companies business is for self drive hire of motorhomes for touring the Lake District and UK/Europe.
I brought in Wombat Web Design at short notice due to my dissatisfaction with another web design company. From the first meeting I felt that I had chosen well in selecting Wombat Web Design.
They quickly set about designing and building the site to my requirements including the logo design which was exactly what I was looking for, simple but portraying the lakes and mountains of the area in just the way I had envisaged.
The team at Wombat are friendly, knowledgable and extremely efficient in dealing with all queries and adjustments throughtout the design and build stage and beyond.
The setting up of the google adwords campaign including SEO work was all included with free hosting for the first 12mths also part of the package.
I would have no hesitation in reccomending Wombat and indeed have already done so for any organisation that requires a professionally built website by a dedicated team.
In short I would rate my experience with Wombat as 10 out of 10.

I have found Wombat web design to be very professional and skilled in their approach. The Team have gone above and beyond the expected service I originally asked for to ensure that my website is completly made to my specifications and needs. In fact the team at Wombat exceeded my expectations by producing a great website at a very reasonable price. I would have no hesitation in using Wombat in the future or reccomending them to other companies. It is refreshing to find a company that cares about the product it is selling and has such a fantastic after care service. Nothing was too much trouble for the team, and they kept in contact regularly to update and consult me throughout the process. The end product has blown me away and I am just thankful that I found this gem of a company.
After a really bad experience from another web designer I researched Wombat before contacting them. The reviews I obtained from their existing clients (all excellent), gave me the confidence to contract them to design a completely new website.
Jason and Fraser certainly came up with the goods! Communication was first class, their ideas were inovative and their creativity was first class. We are absolutely delighted with the end product and would gladly recommend them to future clients without hesitation.
Well Done Wombat keep up the good work !!!
I am very happy to recommend wombat. Fraser and Justin are great guys who listen carefully to what you want. They were patient with me as i took time to decide on my requirements and we chewed over several ideas. If i didnt like something there was no issue and a range of other options were given until i was satisfied. They are professional, but friendly and approachable and if like me you have no clue about web design then you can expect them to talk you though it in stages....and it really was very simple.
I'm highly delighted with my web site which was priced very competitively and the customer service is spot on. I'm sure wombat will be very successful in the future and i wish them all the best.
I would totally reccomend wombat to anyone wanting a site built. Once i gave them a breif outline of what i was looking for they done the rest and a brilliant job it is. The thing thats really helped me is the followup they have provided tweaking the site to get just what i wanted. 100% great job done
I needed my photography website re-designed as my old one was dated and hard to update. After showing them what I was looking for, Fraser and Jason quickly got back to me with a fantastic design.
They kept me in the loop every step of the way and showed me how to easily log-in and update my photographs myself.
The website is far better than I imagined it to be, I love it!
Wombat Web Design have been extremely helpful from day one. The web site they have produced has turned out far better than I ever expected.
They were very easy to communicate with and constantly fed back to me with the progress. I made several requests for changes and was suppressed with how quickly Wombat Web Design responded.
I highly recommend them to anyone who needs a clean, fresh website.
Mark Johnson
I have to say a big thank you to Jason and Fraser at Wombat for their incredible work re-designing my website! I am still amazed at what they have done and cant believe the short amount of time it took them! From chatting with them over the phone and discussing my needs i was confident they knew what i was looking for. From my requirements and my old website they were able to totally modernise and re-desiging my site, making it modern and easy on the eye.
It looks great and my customers have noticed a dramatic improvement. I would recomend Wombat Web Design to anyone who
I first contacted Wombat when i needed a website for my new FX company- Extreme FX Hire. Initially I only knew the services I was going to offer and had no idea of what I needed on it. This is where Womabt helped me! I went for a chat with them at the office and layed down my ideas. The guys quickly came up with a layout and ideas for content needed and I left an hour later feeling we had already made big progress.
Within a couple of days they got back to me with a rough design of the website with dummy content so i could get a feel of the site. I was amazed at what they done in only 2 days and couldnt wait for the final product. I was able to see a live demo online as it the website was being developed, this helped me thoughroughly check the website and note any changes that were needed. Throughout the development of my website no task was to small and i got more than i could ever have imagined. I am now one of the leading companies in my market and couldnt of done it without this wonderful website. Thanks guys
