Alienation Digital were recommended to us by a close friend who had worked with them on his website. After our initial meet with the team we were confident that they understood our vision and we were keen to get started with them on the project. There have been an endless amount of emails and telephone conversations going back and forth throughout the project but with the help of our project manager Martin, it has been easy to manage all the different elements of the build. The team have been really helpful and very easy to deal with. The website looks great and as a result we have had lots of compliments from customers on both the design and the functionality which were equally important to us. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Alienation’s services to others. We are very happy with the end result and will be using them on our next project!

TESTIMONIAL FOR ALIENATION DIGITAL

We were introduced to Alienation by a friend who had done some work with them. As complete novices to web pages and their design we were apprehensive about setting out on the task of designing our own web page.

From our first initial meeting we felt that we had chosen a Company that was both friendly and professional. Things were explained to us in a way we could understand. Once the web page was in construction we were helped in every step of the way. We were given examples to consider and any alterations that were required were done immediately and sent back to us.

The support we were given from start to finish was second to none and we were given training at Alienation to help us carry on and alter the web page in the future.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Alienation Digital to anyone who is considering building a web page. We are more than happy with our finished page and even though it is still early days we have attracted business through it.

EVIMalaR is very pleased to have launched its new website, to date we have had positive feedback from members of the network and are excited about using it as a tool to facilitate outreach and interest in malaria research. The service received by Alienation was excellent; whilst considering what functionality we needed from our website, the team proposed new and interesting ideas to set our website apart from others in this field. The support and guidance throughout the whole process has been great, and we would certainly use Alienation for any future requirements.

Excellent project management from the start, and always happy to listen to our opinions and take them on board throughout the project.
Web designers listened to what we thought of there ideas and the process was very iterative. Alienation not only delivered a great website, they were also excellent in taking care of the branding and photography remit we gave them. The finished website looks great and content management system is straightforward to use. I see this as the start of an on-going partnership between Alienation and ourselves!
Alienation provided excellent training on the content management system, the ongoing support we are receiving is great.

We recruited Alienation to redesign our website, with the main aims of making it more attractive, accessible and engaging.

The communication between ourselves and our project manager Valerie was excellent. She was always on hand to answer questions and to look into anything that we queried; any bugs or issues were quickly rectified.

We were involved at every stage of the process and kept very well informed. We were given training in how to operate the content management system, this was very helpful.

I am really happy with the service they have given us, the new site has everything we asked for and more.

We needed a redesign of glenheadengineering.co.uk to present a more professional and interactive site to larger prospects, both nationally and internationally, to underpin the company's plans to service new markets.

Alienation was selected over a number of other recommended competitors on the basis of their response to invitation to tender, and keenness to understand the business and needs for the redesign. They were highest quote, but worth it by far, for concept and originality. Alienation went that extra mile.

Well done Alienation - a very satisfied customer at Glenhead Engineering. A great looking site that will help us expand the business into new markets.

Alienation Digital proved themselves to be a highly creative and approachable agency, that we would recommend.

The agency posses a combination of original creative graphic design, technical knowledge and friendly project management that helped to make our project a success.

After a close pitch, we approached Alienation Digital to design and develop our website. With many different visual ideas in-mind, Aidan produced a design that has proved to be extremely popular. They also helped to produce a brand for the website, and we reuse the key elements from the website in all our marketing. We are extremely happy with the design that Alienation Digital produced.

Patric, the project manager, was approachable and helpful regardless of the volume of suggestions, tweaks and adjustment we requested.

The website has various unique elements that we weren’t sure would be possible to include and be accessible. However, we are pleased the team produced the website to Level AA accessibility.

We have had a great amount of positive feedback about the website, the unique navigation and our 'change weather' (skin) feature.

We would recommend Alienation Digital for anyone looking for a creative website solution.

What kind of relationship did you have with your website designer?
They were very easy to deal with but it was initially difficult to get a hold of the right person - this was resolved when Patric project manager was brought on board.

Did they communicate well with you?
relatively - weekly updates would have been a good addition. We drove the site's progression by pushing and asking questions rather than them driving.

Did they take your requests into consideration?
yes.
Did you feel part of the process?
Overly so - we often led.

Did they keep you informed about what they were doing?
Not sufficiently and not in a structured weekly update format.

Did they speak to you in jargon or jargon free?
Jargon free and good at explaining technical issues.

Were you happy with the final outcome?
yes.

Did they do something exceptional which you hadn't anticipated?
No

Did they deal with any complications well?
yes.

Alienation are an excellent development company who communicated well from the start of the project through to completion. They took a very professional approach to the project and explained each stage in detail. Alienation's creative design was impressive and had considerably more flair than other developers we considered.

We approached Alientation Digital after a disastrous waste of 3 months with another web design company. This waste of time resulted in having to work to a really tight deadline. We signed up with Alienation at the end of November and despite the Christmas and New Year break, our website was completed and live on target at the beginning of February.
From day 1 our experience was extremely positive. It was a real joy to work with professionals. Every single process ran smoothly and every member of staff was exceptionally helpful and supportive. We were particularly impressed with the market research carried out on our competitors and have found this to be very useful.
The completed site far exceeded our expectatations and within a few hours of going live we began receiving positive feedback from our students and the childcare settings with whom we work.
We are so delighted with the site, we will now approach Alienation with a view to developing a bespoke e-learning package for our students.
