Netuxo is brilliant. I had a great relationship with my designer always ready to explain and advise, and take on board my needs and requests.The process was collaborative and inclusive. All went very smoothly and efficiently and all glitches were sorted promptly. I'm very happy with the final outcome, and am no longer worried about sending people to my site!

Netuxo were excellent to work with. They are friendly, responsive, patient, and can explain things well to non-experts (without jargon)! The development process with them was interesting and really got us thinking about what we'd want a site to do for us. They managed to translate all our ideas and requests into reality one way or another!

We were kept well-informed at all stages and asked for input regularly and clearly.

We are delighted with the website they have created for us, both in terms of functionality and the look of the thing. I'd really recommend them.

Netuxo has helped us for several years and have been very communicative and patient with us through two major website redesigns. We work mainly with Ippy, and she is exceptionally clear and responsive. She understands our needs and works with us to meet our budget. I've been extremely happy with our relationship with Netuxo over the years and I would highly recommend them to anyone.

The work carried out by Netuxo was very professional. The staff is really friendly and they have always provided insights and advice that helped us structure the website. They were always available to listen to our requests and did everything possible to realise them within our budget.
There was always a feedback, emails on updates and things to be checked. They have even emailed us while on holiday to solve a problem when our website was launched!
Netuxo provided us all the relevant info to work on the website in an independent way so that we can manage contents and all the basics in an easy way.
We are really happy with the final outcome and our website looks different, appealing and yes, really cool.

We thought we knew what we wanted / needed but Netuxo gently guided us to a better place! They provided us with graphics options and politely accepted our more austere ambitions. They quickly addressed technical quirks and sudden changes in our wants. They kept to the time schedule even if we didn't. They were easy to work with, straight forward and delivered. We'll be back for updates / grades.

Great experience working with Netuxo for our website, very impressed on their knowledge and professionalism, would recommend them to anyone. With our little knowledge on the technicalities of content management and using Drupal, Netuxo support was very empowering and exciting. Also with a very small budget we have received value for money spent and completely happy for the service.

It took quite a long time to get the website sorted, which was largely down to the fact that we were after a quite unusual online ordering system for our co-op. I;m sure if we were after something simpler it would have been much quicker. It was sometimes quite longwinded doing the work over email as we are based in another part of the country. In the end we haven't used the ordering aspect of the website so I can't really say how well it works. The rest of the website works fine and it looks ok.

We got everything we wanted with this site.

It looks good and the functionality is great.

Netuxo are committed and responsive, keeping us up to date at all times, and explaining everything that I didn't understand about web development.

They worked hard to smooth out tricky and unexpected issues. It was delivered on time and we have already engaged Netuxo on another project.

Thank you!

Thank you very much to everyone at Netuxo for the work in developing the new Nuclear Information Service website. The new website looks very good and we are pleased with the finished project. There were some problems with delays to the project and cost issues, but we were able to resolve these in an amicable and principled way with Netuxo. Netuxo have provided web services to us for a long term period and we consider them to be an important and valued stakeholder for our organisation, with whom we have a positive and mature relationship.

Netuxo have been impressive from the outset. They have enabled us to develop a website that is ideal for our purposes. Throughout this process they have been highly responsive and very efficient and patient with the inevitable tweaks and changes that we’ve had to make once the site was launched and we started using it. They continue to offer regular support now we are live and we would not hesitate to recommend them.

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

Q: Describe your company in 5 words.
A: Ethical, honest, co-operative, specialist, not-for-profit

Q: What's your business philosophy?
A: Netuxo was established in response to the evolving IT needs of the campaigns, charities, activist groups and social movements in which the original directors were located. We feel we are providing a community service (non-profit web development services) - and take a modest wage for doing so. We are a co-operative.

Q: Describe your office environment.
A: Until 2014 Netuxo's office was located in an artists' colony in uber cool Hackney Wick (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hackney_Wick). We were based there from 2008 and previously located in Kings Cross. Right now we are all working remotely, from different parts of the UK and Spain, and maintain a virtual office in Old Street, London.

Q: Describe how your team interact and work together.
A: We are a small team (there's usually four of us) and - as we do not have a boss - we make decisions about how we run the business together through a regular Directors meetings and a frequent team check-ins. We think we are pretty good at consensus decision making and - several years later - we all still seem to like each other and like working together. We think that this team coherence enables us to deliver good service to our customers.

Q: What makes you different from other web design companies?
A: We do not work for profit - we work for a wage. No boss, no shareholders, no dividends. We specialise in developing using the Drupal (http://drupal.org) content management system. We have extensive experience in the NGO sector and will only work for organisations and individuals which we feel fit with our ethical principles.

Q: How do you get the majority of your business?
A: Word of mouth, direct referrals and repeat business.

Q: Describe how you manage projects from the initial client contact to completion and handover.
A: We invest time to discuss and understand the overall project objectives and work with our clients to develop detailed specifications. We maintain good communication throughout the build, with detailed requests/feedback phases throughout. We provide regular billing/budget updates and a fixed snagging (rectifications period). Netuxo also offers aftercare options.

Q: What do you think is the most crucial element of creating a good client relationship?
A: Honest and substantial communication.

Q: How do you manage demanding clients?
A: We like demanding clients who know what they want and we will respond positively to reasonable demands. However, working in the NGO sector means that many of our clients have strictly limited budgets and so we do try to manage customer expectations in order to avoid any unreasonable demands. We feel we invest substantial time communicating with clients to ensure a smooth working relationship. We believe it is one of the reasons we secure a good amount of repeat business.

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: I guess I would be asking the following questions: is the company well established and more than a one-person band? Can they demonstrate expertise in the type of site you want to build? Do they know your business sector? How well do they communicate? Can you scratch beneath the surface a little and work out whether there is any substance to any claims made? Websites are not one-off developments, so don't just go for the cheapest or shiniest option, think about who can you forge a long term relationship with for ongoing support, maintenance and future development rounds.

Q: Where do you see your company in 10 years time?
A: I would hope that in 10 years time we will still be here, with more fantastic staff, increased turnover, delivering affordable, high quality service to the NGO, co-operative and ethical business sectors.

Q: Where do you see the web design industry in the future?
A: Booming! The web is growing in size and complexity at an ever increasing rate. Companies will become more specialist as the range of technology develops.

Q: How was your company name chosen?
A: Net - we operate on the interweb Tux - the lovely little penguin mascot Uxo - unexploded ordinance (a military term, referenced by peaceniks)

Q: If you were to give your clients one tip on how to get the most from their website what would it be?
A: Content is queen.
