As a designer by nature, I’ve developed my knowledge of programming to a high level, ensuring the quality of my designs aren’t held back by functionallity constraints. Click below for more about what I can do for you.
What I doBen was genuinely interested in what we were trying to achieve and wasn’t afraid to ask questions to ensure that we were always getting the website we wanted. Rather than just producing a site for us, we were offered advice about how the site should be built to generate the most traffic, and how the look and feel could be tailored to meet our brand requirements. Ben was always happy to make amendments and changes without complaint, this kind of service is greatly appreciated.
The shades of blue balance through the website nicely and the professional photography takes the website to another dimension. I made separate pages for each of the major manufacturers and put them in a dropdown at the top of every page to promote the vehicle servicing side of their business.

The end product, which was functional only a couple of months after the initial consultation was excellent and I thoroughly feel confident that the quality and functionality of the website constructed by Ben is over and above any of our competitors.

Ben handled everything including getting printing done so I didn't have to worry about anything!
