Web Design Portfolio Selection from Toucher Web Design

Keith Stammers has a business based in London, which sells electronic cigarette kits and accessories. Keith required an ecommerce website through which he could offer his range of electronic "smoking" materials to his clients.

"I highly recommend Toucher Web Design for your project.
 
I found Toucher to be excellent in every aspect from start to finish. Far over and above what I expected, they are professional, yet personable, extremely helpful and in my case very patient with my lack of technical knowledge, they explained anything that I didn't understand, in a language that I could understand. They went out of their way to give me a first class job, and I would rate them ten out of ten in every area. They brought their expertise and good sound advice to all the areas that had to be dealt with.
 
Every area Price, technical knowledge, creativity, problem solving, project management, communication with the client, innovative ideas, and awareness of what was needed for my website. And they always had time to answer any questions, I can not praise their services highly enough.
 
If you are undecided who to use for your website, call them and I'm sure you will be confident that they can deliver what you are looking for. If you'd like to email me to do with this reference I'd be happy to tell you how good they are. We will certainly  be using them again for any future website design."

Easimovals is a long-established UK and LOCAL REMOVAL COMPANY. They asked me to create a website with an enquiry form as a means of increasing business. Their web site has a comprehensive home removal enquiry form that has generated many hundreds of enquiries from all over the UK.

This site was redesigned in 2013 to make it "responsive". Resonsive webstes adapt themselves to suit the screen size of the device that is being used to view them. This is very important for some businesses now that so many people are using their mobile phones and tablets to access the Internet. To see how this site behaves try viewing iit on a PC and a mobile phone or if you only have access to a PC try resizing the window that you are viewing it on and watch it change.

"Toucher Web Design designed our original web site and we recently got them to do a major update. This has been a great investment for us because the website is now generating business from many new areas. Bryan's prices are reasonable and he has always reacted swiftly when we asked him to do some work on the site. We would have no hesitation in recommending his services to anyone considering using his services to create their website."

"My name is James Lizamore and I am the Managing Director for FOODS FROM HOME.

We used the services of Jimmy and Bryan from TOUCHER.co.uk to develop our website, after having compared various web development companies. I would like to put my comments below into context by indicating that I have been an IT Consultant myself for 20 years and have a masters degree in computer science through Leeds University. Regardless of my own background, the skill-set of Jimmy Campbell, my assigned web developer from TOUCHER, has put me to shame. During the development phase of my website, Jimmy has consistently delivered work of a high standard. He has put in an enormous amount of effort, advice and guidance in ensuring my design reached the best possible outcome and level of excellence. This included working above and beyond in terms of what could be reasonably expected from an effort point-of-view.

I am extremely happy and confident to recommend TOUCHER to any company wishing to utilise the services of a web development company and can be personally contacted to confirm my recommendation"

Martin MacGilp is a UK authority on puppets an puppetry in the UK and in particular, Scotland. He has written a book on this called "A Timber Idol" a history of Mr. Punch and Puppetry in Scotland. Martin needed a website to promote and sell the book and the Puppetry in Scotland website was created for this purpose.

"I searched the internet for some time trying to ascertain the costs and possibilities for a website where I could have a paypal "buy it" button. It was tricky trying to wade through some of the technical jargon that many designers seem to insist on using, and also tricky trying to get a clear idea of what it would cost.

I was impressed with Toucher's various explanations around the whole process, and after exchanging a number of e-mails with Bryan, and talking on the telephone, I went with Toucher Web design - now with the website completed and "up there," I am very happy with my choice."

There was no pressure just a straightforward easy confidence that he knew what he was about.

I admired his realistic approach to search engine optimisation and his knowledge and grasp of what it takes to build a successful site. Bryan has worked closely with me throughout the design and building process and has kept me informed at all times in simple layman’s terms.

"I first saw mention of Toucher Website Design in the ‘small business’ section of the Financial Times. Clearly, a professional’s professional, what surprised me was how approachable and ‘non techie’ Bryan was when asked to explain anything to the village Luddite! Bryan understands about the needs of a small business and hence delivers what is required not what is superfluous.

Best of all, he appreciates the importance of budgets and working to them. As a result, he produces web sites on time and at a competitive price but which still manage to punch well above their weight.
