New start up business selling contemporary office furniture. Required a website to double up as a brochure. Recovo were launching a new business, they wanted a stunning site but budget was limited. We used flash on the landing page for maximum impact which created a WOW factor right from the start. Once their customers see their products they're hooked on Recovo. Product details were key and they needed to get results fast. Additional services were: logo design, email marketing campaign, copywriting.

Reviews
We have been designed an excellent website being set out exactly as planned around the original ideas and intention.
From the outset we both found Michelle highly professional, listening to our concept ideas taking them and formulating them into an initial design for approval. It was designed without us ever meeting up so to produce such a high quality design by communicating via email and by telephone speaks volumes for her ability.
All the way through the process from conception to the final sign off she kept us informed and made us aware of her design intentions and was well versed on the latest website design ideas. She also provided very effective marketing ideas for the new company and the pitfalls to look out for.
We are delighted with the final product and feel it epitomizes our business in a manner we had hoped. We would highly recommend Michelle to anybody who is looking for a new website or requires an update to an existing website.
Regards.

I contacted Your Webstar to discuss design and quotes for a new company logo and blog web page.
Of all the web design companies I contacted, Your Webstar were the only ones who spoke to me jargon free and listened to every aspect of my design needs and requirements.They also had the most competetive price structure of all the companies I looked into. The end result in the blog and logo was exactly what I had envisaged before contacting Your Webstar right down to colour shades and fonts.
The designers who worked on the project were friendly and understanding of my lack of knowledge in this field. They were always available to talk to any day throughout the project and are still available should I have any changes I would like making to the blog. They always kept me informed of the progress of the design and executed the actual build of the blog in exceptionally quick time!
I was so thrilled with the final results of both the blog and logo I am currently in talks with the Your Webstar designers regarding a new web site for my company. I have already recommended Your Webstar to four people who have enquired about my blog and logo designs and would not hesitate in recommending Your Webstar to anyone else.
