We're very pleased with both the process of working with WildSide Design and the finished product they supplied to us.

We originally chose them because their ideas for the project were the most creative, without being impractical or unaffordable. From the outset they were really enthusiastic and it was easy to build up a strong working relationship very quickly - we're very grateful for this because it made managing the project much easier than previous expeirences with other developers!

Communicating with them was very easy and everything was explained to us very clearly and concisely. We had access to the work-in-progress throughout the project and regular meetings were always easy and convenient to arrange.

It was also very useful that they were able to offer a one-stop shop service to us - we required web-design, illustrations, graphics and even voice-over narration - all of which they were able to provide without our needing to deal with other contractors.

What we appreciated most though was their pragmatic approach: they were quick to foresee any issues and contact us in advance so that we were able to avoid them before they arose. In the rare instances where problems did arise they were able to offer realistic solutions that didn't feel like a compromise. As a result we felt they were working *with* us rather than *for* us and this had a really positive effect on the outcome.

We've had such a good experience working with WildSide Design (and feedback from our users has been so positive about the site they developed for us) that we've already begun another project with them and are hoping to follow this up with future contracts.

All in all, highly recommended!

We contacted WildSide Design when our previous web design company let us down and we needed someone to resurrect our website as quickly as possible. They were able to start work immediately and were very flexible on a time and day to meet to discuss our requirements. With very limited knowledge of website design we had few ideas or suggestions but we were adamant that, while we wanted a fresh, new look, we also wanted to keep our original branding and logo which we felt was crucial to maintain our identity with our existing clients. We also wanted a very simple, clear and easy to use website. We felt that WildSide Design listened carefully and adhered closely to what we wanted but greatly enhanced our brief with imaginative, creative and simple but effective ideas. They consulted us at every stage explaining everything clearly and concisely and were willing to make as many changes as we requested - even when we contradicted our original brief! We particularly appreciated the face-to-face contact when we felt it was necessary but also found the contact by e-mail and phone to be helpful and efficient. They not only designed the site but dealt with all the peripheral technical detail that we had neither the time nor the expertise to handle ourselves. Even after the site was up and running they dealt patiently with our questions and concerns for several weeks afterwards. Overall we found WildSide Design to be efficient, friendly, professional and very good value for money and would have no hesitation in recommending them.
