The Country Kitchen is an independent, company that produces innovative Aga Accessories and various other kitchen accessories via mail order and online sales.

"I previously had a web site but decided to take things a bit further and progress my business. My main aims were to have a professional feel to the website and increase the traffic flow to my web site; both of these aims have been successfully achieved.

The service offered by Bryan (Toucher) was very professional and efficient and can’t be faulted.

I particularly appreciated being involved throughout the whole process and my thoughts being listened to and acted upon. “Thank you Bryan” I will be recommending you to others wanting to set up a website.

Regards
Thomas Frary

Auto Aircon Direct is a mobile car air conditioning service company. They travel to their clients and carry out auto air conditioning recharge and servicing.

"Thank you so much Bryan for the helpful, professional way that my website was designed and was up and running within 10 days as promised. I have had comments from friends who think that it looks great.

Due to your comprehensive instructional files I can even log in and make changes to my own website. Not bad for someone who's first communication experience was learning the Morse code in the Royal Signals 46 years ago.

If I can do it, anyone can, with your help. Thanks again."

"Hi Bryan, I had over 300 hits on my website today. It's too many, we will have to change the site somehow so that my phone can cool down. Well done! The Aircon business has taken over £10K in the 2 months since the website has been active.

I will be asking you to design another site for me in a couple of months in my old industry, the water damaged property sector, so that I can get some work over the winter months. Not too much though please !!!"

Www.Featureworld.co.uk is run by media agent Alison Smith-Squire, who specialises in selling people's real-life stories to national
newspapers and women's magazines. Alison had a website but it was not working for her and it needed to be redesigned and optimised to deliver more business enquiries.

"Dear Bryan,
When I came to you the Featureworld website was poorly designed, dull and hard to navigate so I was pretty desperate! But you redesigned it so it not only has a brighter and fresher look but it's much easier for visitors to navigate.

Amazingly, the afternoon you finished doing it, the website began to climb the rankings for all the main Google searches, such as 'sell my story'. Your service was prompt and thorough. And I will be returning in a few months, as my husband was so impressed he will be asking you to design his website for his
construction business.

Again, many thanks for all your help".

(Qualifier: Alison already had a website and there was an element of luck in her quick ranking improvement. This does not happen with all websites).

The First Permit web site is rich in information for those seeking to apply for UK WORK PERMITS. It was created with this in mind like most of those featured in this web design portfolio, so there was no need for any "flashy" stuff.

Visitors to information based websites tend not to be impressed with this. Generally they just want to be able to find what they are looking for as quickly as possible.

This website was also designed with search engine optimisation in mind to ensure that it delivers targetted traffic.

"Bryan was able to produce a website based on our initial couple of conversations which was not only appropriate for our business but what was exactly what we wanted. His help and knowledge regarding the practical issues of setting up and running a website and the workings of search engines was first rate."
