Reviews
Our new website is fantastic and so far our clients have found it very easy to navigate. Will was extremely flexible, always to hand and after an initial meeting to discuss what we wanted on the site, went away and came up with exactly what we had asked for. Whilst he was happy to do all that we wanted, he will offer advise or suggest alternatives if he didn't feel that it would work well and would offer an alternative suggestion.
Our website is constantly evolving and Will has always been able to update/amend to our latest wishes. Nothing has ever been a problem and and queries that we have had, have been dealt with very quickly.
Not being a computer boffin, Will has also explained in simple terms how we can go in and update/alter the admin side ourselves. Would highly recommend Will Paterson.
Will is just brilliant. I knew nothing about websites and Will has spoken in plain clear English avoiding jargon or tech-speak. He has also been very good at listening to what I want and then making it happen. The on-going support is excellent and when I am stuck Will pitches in and comes up with just the right idea. I am delighted with Will and could not recommend his work enough. An absolute pleasure to deal with.
