EDNA have redesigned my photography website for me, I love it, the way the photographs are displayed is very important, it wasn't easy getting the website to look and flow right on all the different devices people use these days, but Ed did the work so well and answered all my silly questions, he's been very patient and understanding through out the whole process and has made one fussy customer very happy. Thankyou EDNA :)

We didn't want a website which acted as a flat information board but we wanted and got a creative experience which used the very best of multi media to connect with our audience.From our very first meeting with this young and vibrant company we knew that they understood us and that they had both the social and technical skills to realise our vision.We would thoroughly recommend them to anyone who recognises,appreciates and requires a different approach to doing business.

EDNA comments:
Thank you or the detailed review Netta. This was one of our first projects for a UK based small business, and if every other company we work with is as concise and exciting to work with as Discover Buxton, there's a very bright future for entrepreneurs in this country. We look forward to further developing the Discover Buxton web site and brand!

— Feet for Fins

EDNA is a team of collaborative, witty and professional experts who will help you meet and exceed your dream design goals. They act as strategic partners to your organization (or company) and I truly felt they were there for me to achieve the best results. I have had experience with many web design firms over the years and EDNA was the first to actually make the process enjoyable and fun! I felt a part of something big in working with this team. I will be using them for future projects!

EDNA comments:
Feet For Fins has been a great project for us. As you know, shark research and conservation has long been an issue close to our hearts, so being able to make an active contribution to an organisation fighting to make a difference in this area is an opportunity we're very grateful for.

Thank you for being so concise and driven during the project development, it was as fun as it was challenging for us and we very much look forward to working with you guys again in future.

Really pleased with our new website and all aspects of the design process.
Edna really listened to what was important to us and the priorities we wanted on the site.
Edna were really approachable and helpful throughout the whole process and kept me fully briefed on progress.
I felt it really mattered to them that our site suited our needs and they made some really useful suggestions with regards to content/layout.
Would not hesitate in using them again, or recommending them to other establishments. A Staffordshire Learning Technologies Technician recently commented that it was the best primary school website he had come across. High praise indeed! and certainly echoed by our school and staff.

EDNA comments:
Thanks Mrs Jackson-Ward! It was an absolute pleasure to work on this project, we thrive on the challenge of balancing opposing elements, such as the formal and corporate, but friendly, inviting vibe you wanted to establish. We're very happy with the results, but they were only made possible by the awareness, adaptability and overall professionalism of your team.

Education is of massive importance to both communities and our business, and as our first school web site it was vitally important we get this right. Both the comments we've received on it's performance, and statistics we've viewed on the web site's usage have been really positive. We look forward to working alongside you to increase it's effectiveness for your school into the future.

Thanks again!

Q: What's your name and position in the company?
A: David Edwards, Creative Director

Q: Describe your company in 5 words.
A: Dedicated to wildlife and community

Q: What's your business philosophy?
A: Keep moving forward. Create work that you can be proud of, but never be afraid to destroy something you have a personal connection with if it aids progression. Time waits for no man.

Q: Describe your office environment.
A: I don't have space to explain this in the detail it requires, but I suppose, in short... never, ever dull.

Q: Describe how your team interact and work together.
A: Flexibility is a vital component of all our work, given the variety of media we work with. The same has to be true of our interaction as a team. Some situations call for a formal meeting, others sat in front of a screen with a tin of biscuits. In summary - very well.

Q: What makes you different from other web design companies?
A: I think this is a question much better answered by our portfolio. Our design team's work speaks for itself.

Q: How do you get the majority of your business?
A: It sounds cheesy, but we really consider our clients to be an extended family. We're proud of what they achieve, they're proud of the work they inspire from us, and proud people will go to the ends of the earth to make that pride heard. Good business generates good business.

Q: Describe how you manage projects from the initial client contact to completion and handover.
A: We have a five stage process: discuss, design, develop, demo, deploy. They're fairly self explanatory, but they allow us to focus on each element of a project effectively.

Q: What do you think is the most crucial element of creating a good client relationship?
A: The same as any relationship - honesty. Both sides need to be completely honest with each other, because it's impossible to remedy a problem you don't know exists. Sure, the truth can hurt, but the short term

Q: How do you manage demanding clients?
A: With delight - they're the ones who push our business forward.

Q: If a client was trying to decide between a shortlist of web design companies, how would you recommend they go about selecting the right one for them?
A: 2 things: first, find previous/existing clients of those companies, and speak to them about their experiences. Second, have the companies provide you with data, proof of how their work has improved their clients business - you can't argue with results.

Q: Where do you see your company in 10 years time?
A: This'll sound a bit daft, but honestly (ad hopefully), I hope to see us looking back at where we are now, reading this question again and saying to ourselves "wow, ten years ago, we could never have seen this coming".

Q: Where do you see the web design industry in the future?
A: Far more unified with other disciplines. People still see their 'web site', their 'branding', their 'advertising' etc as different things, but I think the future lies in unity - consistent, intuitive, cross platform.

Q: What computers do you have use in your offices, PCs or Macs?
A: Both PC and Mac

Q: How was your company name chosen?
A: That's a secret we reserve for only our closest clients, you'll have to work with us to find that out.

Q: If you were to give your clients one tip on how to get the most from their website what would it be?
A: Find yourself a company with proven results, let them do the hard work and you purely focus on building what makes your business great. A good company will provide you with a site which captures this, builds on it, and uses it effectively to get you the results you need.
