Mike Beardall Oakfield Media
I would like to say a huge thank you Tim for all of your help and especially patience as we have changed a few things along the way with this project. We are so pleased with the system and really do see it being our main ordering format within the next 3 years.
Ben Young SMG Online
What can I say I am speechless at your amazing and ongoing attention to detail, care and brilliance. (another quote for you!)
Kolinka Zinovieff NHR Organic Oils
It's simple. Tim is wonderful. He is a joy to work with and his work is inspirational. Can't recommend him highly enough.
Michal Levin MichalLevin.com
Thank you for understanding and delivering a new and challenging concept. The site design and interactive functions are both engaging and easy to navigate. Although it's very early days, MuzikTree has already received high praise. Working with you is also a refreshingly pleasant experience, combining a highly supportive friendliness with re-assuring professionalism. I'm very much looking forward to continuing working together on this exciting venture.
Paul Greening MuzikTree
Thank you for an excellent job - your advice and input are much appreciated - as well as the fine job you did in the actual conversion [of old website to replacement] of course :o)
Stuart Mail, xDox eBusiness Consulting
We have lift off!! The site is terrific - well done. From my perspective, the site is more than we could have hoped for. I'm proud to be part of a company with such a professional web presence. It's a triumph of your ingenuity and not least your ability to handle a client with such a multitude of input and still produce a wonderful product!
Michael Storey, for The Savage Selection
Ismat and I would like to say a huge ‘thank you’ for helping us create a bespoke, e-commerce site that is tailored to our exact requirements. Thank you for making it so easy to work with you. We feel you’ve supported us and accommodated our requests and requirements every step of the way. You have been personable yet professional, extremely flexible and have bent over backwards to help us. We both truly believe we couldn’t have created the Site we wanted, without you.
We look forward to working with you, hearing your great suggestions and benefiting from your excellent customer service, in the next few months, as The Natural Store Website continues to grow and be enhanced.
Thank you. We think you’re fab and will be more than happy to recommend you (and in fact, we already have).
Rachel & Ismat The Natural Store
knowHowe demonstrated an impressive understanding of our requirements from the commencement of the project and provided excellent speed of response throughout. Good communication is key in any business relationship and the plain English provided was welcome by us as newcomers to the jargon filled world of e-commerce. We have no hesitation in recommending Knowhowe to other e-tailers and website owners.
Gill & Ian, Esparto Greeting Cards www.esparto.co.uk
I warmly recommend Tim to anyone who is looking for the very best in web design and functioning. Knowhowe have provided us with a uniquely comprehensive design, build and improve service as well as excellent training.
Tim and Catherine first made sure that we had a completely reliable and workable site specification and then set about producing something even better. Tim's skill, as well as his infinite patience in dealing with ever changing requests from his clients, has produced excellent results. The public-facing sites are first class and the secure private sections provide an invaluable project management and communication system.
Paul Medlicott www.hst4i.net
Tim is an incredibly talented web programmer and web designer. I could leave it at that, but you may be left wondering how and why I came to that conclusion. Well, he very quickly proved his versatility when he contributed to two projects I was working on back in 2003 - a website to support the sale of wildlife content on mobile phones, and an electronic ecards site. There didn't seem to be much he couldn't do and his versatility, knowledge and enthusiam was refreshing, as well as incredibly useful. Despite working in IT myself, severe time constraints lead me to look for someone else to put my own personal consultancy site together - kiwanja - and I naturally chose Tim. Putting my total faith in him, he very quickly put together an excellent site and hosting package. Although the design was provided, Tim managed to encapsulate all my thoughts and ideas producing something which, in the end, exceeded my own expectations. I have since requested several enhancements to the site, all completed perfectly and on-schedule. I would recommend Tim to anyone who wants a top class, personal service, and in fact have already put a couple of colleagues in touch.
Ken Banks www.kiwanja.net
Tim was a really great designer to work with. He was very open to my ideas and always interpreted them creatively - and with patience! He added real value through using his knowledge and skills to create exactly what I wanted. It was a real partnership with very successful results (I've had lots of great feedback from a variety of sources). I would recommend Tim to anyone who wants to work collaboratively on designing a website for their business.
