We were very happy with the service received from Design365. Work was done promptly and any additional detail requested was never a problem with design365. They were more than happy to tweak the design throughout the process whilst at the same time keeping us in line with an our initial aim to ensure that the site was as client/user friendly as possible.

Delighted with the final product. Keep up the good work design365!

— The Dog Inn

We have recently taken over The Dog Inn a pub just outside Heighington village not far from Newton Aycliffe. The pub had been closed for a number of months so we wanted to inform the local public that we were back open serving lunches and evening meals. We wanted to use a local web design company so went to see Design365 for a website consultation. We found the consultation very useful as Design365 gave us many ideas to promote our business through our new website. We discussed our requirements and Design365 sketched out a rough design to show us the discussed layout. The end result was an engaging, stylish website which is easy to use and would engage visitors on the site. Linking to our current Facebook and Twitter accounts we have areas to promote the pubs events and offers to the public. We would like to say a big thank you to Design365 for designing us such a nice website which fits in with our current branding.

— Take a day out

Take a day out is a new charity that was looking to upgrade what had been a drab first web site that was no engaging. We met Alan from Design365 at a networking event and he offered his company's services. They were local to us, and after meeting with Alan and other members of his team at their office we were 'hooked'. Design365 really does engage with you in developing your project. They were very perceptive to our needs for a stylish yet uncluttered web site that would engage people who visited. They kept as involved throughout the design process and they are also 'future sensitive' to our needs as we grow as a charity. It is fantastic to see an evolving energetic business showing support for a local charity. we commend them to anybody thinking of taking a new look at their old site or other design initiatives.

We have enjoyed working with Take a day out and designing them an engaging web site. We have chosen to sponsor Take a day out and have donated the website free of charge. We are pleased with the website and are looking forward to working with the charity in 2012!

Getting videos & animations to work on all browsers and platforms is a lot more difficult than it seems. Design 365 are well aware of the technical challenges and ever-evolving delivery techniques, desktop browsers, mobile platforms etc, this really separates them from being just a "web designer"
I am confident that my videos are viewable on all platforms and all browsers - this is very valuable.

The SEO work they undertake on my behalf has me at the top of Google searches.

A website isn't just about the technical expertise behind it, it's about a usable, intuitive interface which makes the user experience so easy and obvious - it can't help but be effective. This is when a website starts serving it's ultimate purpose - to generate more business.
