Wanting to develop a new web site page to promote my business I contacted Dean with the ideas and specifications I wanted for the new site. He explained different ways in which the site would look and what should be included. His attention to detail was first class showing examples of different fonts and colours till I decided on the one I wanted to use.
He built the site in a short space of time and was easily contactable throughout the process which is a big plus. He made any alterations I required in the same swift manner.
A job I thought was going to be a nightmare proved the opposite.
I'm extremely happy with my new web site and Dean did a completely professional job, well done!
I've since asked him to develop a new company logo, promote the page and make further alterations which have all been completed in the same efficient manner.
I would recommend Dean to anyone looking to promote their business on the web or wanting to develop new company designs and logos.

On agreeing to carry out the development of my website Dean was quick to understand what I was looking to achieve. My ideas were accurately interpreted into the website I desired with little discussion or description. Dean provided drafts to show how the design could be progressed, this meant I could build the Idea into the finished project. He was honest enough to suggest changes and why the should be made but listened so the final product was what 'I' wanted.
The area's of business that I am promoting have changed so at the time of writing I am currently going through this same process again. I was impressed enough the first time therefore looked nowhere else.
A top class professional.

We had a meeting with Dean Rice at about 4pm and by lunch the next day our website was live and much better than we could have imagined. We only wanted a one page website with our contact details on but the turnaround time and quality was amazing. We also urgently needed to be top of google for anybody looking for us. We were warned that it might take a few months but it only took a few weeks!

A: I'd recommend looking into that companies references/testimonials, portfolio, longevity and professionalism. Ask yourself if they understand your company, can they display the skills required to deliver your project on schedule and up to standard.
