Testimonials

Joanna created a superb website for us from a blank canvas. She was supportive throughout the process, helping with both the technical side and design aspects, and was always in touch with updates so we never felt out of the loop. If you are looking for a stress-free new website, then I would definitely recommend Joanna!

Joanna was recommended to me and I have been delighted with the website she has designed for my new business. The process of designing the look and feel was based on the nature of the business and as the site developed Joanna recommended modifications to improve the appeal and professional look. The whole process was completed very efficiently, in fact Joanna also arranged for a designer to create a logo for the company which is excellent. I would have no hesitation in recommending Joanna to anyone wanting to create a website.

Joanna produced a great website for us from a standard theme and using our narrative. Joanna was able to make sense of a lot of text and semi-thought through ideas to produce a cohesive portal for our business. She offered us overall direction on the approach we should take and helped sort out some of the rabbit holes we went down when producing large quantities of information in a
relatively short space of time.

We had very little understanding of websites in general and WordPress in particular; Joanna gave us enough information and training to give us the confidence to manage the content ourselves. Ongoing support is also available at the end of the phone if we get out of our depth.

Joanna also arranged the website optimisation element to maximise the profile of our site.

We would highly recommend Joanna Craig Website Design.

Joanna came recommended, by a colleague who had worked with her in the UK… whereas I’m in Australia. Despite the time zone differences and challenges of working at distance, I found Joanna professional, helpful and enormously patient whilst I clarified what I needed from a website. She listened to my ideas (as my colleague had said she would), looked for options that would meet my brief, and gave great feedback and ideas when this wasn’t possible. Really happy with the end result and I’d absolutely recommend to future clients… wherever they are!

October 2017: Karen Bremner

Joanna is very professional, hardworking and patient. She put in a lot of effort to provide us with a new website and we are delighted with the results. She listens to the client, but is also happy to challenge or suggest an alternative way, when appropriate. Joanna provides comprehensive training for website maintenance, not just a manual. Its also re-assuring to know she is a phone call away, should we get stuck.

Joanna took a brief from which she interpreted with uncanny accuracy and gave me some options and difficult choices between a number of great designs. I went on to order business cards as well which match the style of the new site nicely. From domain purchase through to delivery of finished product, Joanna’s design flair and responsive approach made the potentially complex process of website creation an easy, quick and rewarding process. If you are in the market for a new or revamped website, I would personally recommend talking to Joanna.

Joanna impressed me from the outset with her ability to grasp a complex brief. She works intuitively and effectively taking a whole load of stress off you, and producing a website that looks very professional and delivers the job at an affordable price. Simply put, she just works her magic and makes it happen!

April 2017: Olga Hamer

Joanna is a pleasure to work with. She has the knack of talking through the website development without lapsing into jargon, which made it very easy for us to understand her ideas and suggestions and what the whole process entails. Her work was produced on time and on budget and we are delighted with the end result.

December 2016: Andrew Gibbs

Joanna has created us a new WordPress website and we could not be happier. The new website has not only given us a fab shop window but also assisted us in creating our corporate image.
From the initial design through to delivery Joanna has been great, she was always easily contactable and provided quick responses, gave valuable advice and sought solutions to meet our aims. Once the website was complete we were not dropped like some companies, support was openly offered to make future edit’s, improvements to SEO and any questions answered without fail. The end result definitely meets the requirements we set out to achieve. Joanna has created something we feel very proud of and within a week it is already working for us. Thank you Jo for all your hard work and support.

April 2016: Barbara & Sam Smith

It was great to work with Joanna on our new web site. She kept me informed all the way and it was finished and uploaded ahead of schedule. It was a huge improvement on our original site and gave us a more professional look and ability to make changes quickly and easily.

March 2016 (redesign) | First website: Feb 2013 Adam Lovejoy

I had a bad experience setting up my first website, with a well known national company. My only contact with them was by phone. They constantly used jargon that I couldn’t understand. It was extremely stressful and expensive.
So for my new site I was looking for a small local firm, when I found Joanna.
From our initial meeting, Jo put me at ease, explaining things in layman’s terms that I could understand. Joanna had patience and made time for me.
I am very pleased with the results of Joanna’s work. It’s everything I wanted and more, and at a realistic price.
I would not hesitate to recommend Joanna Craig Website Design.

March 2016: Ray Smith

Joanna did a fine job on my website – hitting a tight deadline (for my book coming out) – and great job on the website itself – looks brilliant!!

February 2016: Jon Harvey

We first started using Joanna Craig Web Design after we became dissatisfied with our previous web designer. What we like about Joanna is her excellent communications, she deals with our requests usually within 24 hours. After building a great working relationship with her, we had no hesitation in asking her to build our new site, we knew she would create some great designs and she did, our web site has always ranked high with the search engines and so closing it down to open this new one made us feel nervous, we need not to worry though with Joanna’s skill and knowledge the new one went live and retained it’s positioning.

Nov 2015 (redesign) | First website: Dec 2010: Paul Crosbie

I am very pleased with my website. I found Joanna to be very knowledgeable about her field and always helpful. She patiently and quickly answered all my questions by email and she was prepared to patiently work through some detail changes I wanted to the proposed design. Joanna always kept to the delivery timetable she set herself and she was very pleasant to work with. I highly recommend this company.

November 2015: Andrew Baxter

Having gone through a tender process for our new website Joanna stood out as the most obvious designer for us to work with. When we hit problems with the domain name and later on Google Analytics, we were very pleased we had Joanna on our side. She painstakingly guided us through the processes and undertook much of the detective work herself. Finally, we have a beautiful new website which is attracting new enquiries while being easy to maintain and update. We would happily recommend her to any other business looking for website design and build with a personal touch.

September 2015: Peter Brown

Joanna set up a new WordPress website for me and I have been impressed throughout the process, from discussions on design and my needs through to the final product which looks incredible and has already received many complementary remarks. Her service is thorough yet was completed much more quickly than I expected, and she left me feeling confident in being able to make future changes myself which is perfect. I have already recommended her to a friend a business acquaintance and would not hesitate to do so again.

June 2015: Claire Burgess

Joanna helped me re-design and refresh my business website. I am ecstatic with the results and enjoyed every minute of working with Joanna. From the minute I met Joanna I was impressed with her style and felt she was the right fit for what I needed. Joanna was professional, knowledgable, practical and ethical all the way through our project and very patient and helpful as I navigated my way through unfamiliar territory! She provided me with the expert guidance I needed from the outset and worked in with exactly what I needed; in particular, she didn’t try to sell me more than I needed. I really valued Joanna’s willingness to answer all my questions and explain anything that I didn’t understand. She was always quick to turn around tasks and kept me appraised of the status of the project every step of the way. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Joanna’s services.

April 2015: Helen Holan

Joanna provided great practical advice and ideas as well as all the creative input I needed in terms of design. She understood the scope of work; was professional and easy to deal with and very responsive. I feel confident that my website will serve my new business venture well.

November 2014: Marie Cairney

From the initial meeting Joanna understood what we were trying to achieve and had great ideas to help with the new website and the new logo branding. She was professional and helpful throughout and always on hand with any query big or small. The transition from our current website provider to Joanna was smooth running. We receive endless comments from our clients on how professional and easy to use our website is and it has made a big difference within the company to use it as a source of reference when speaking about our products and designs. We highly recommend Joanna and will use her in the future should her talents be required.

April 2014: Lisa Thurnell

From my initial meeting with Joanna I instantly felt relaxed, having been let down by a previous web designer we were very anxious that we wouldn’t get the end result we desired but Jo took the time to fully understand our business and what would work for us.
From start to finish the process ran smoothly and ahead of schedule. Jo was extremely patient and remained calm throughout my indecisiveness at design stage and the finished result was delivered very quickly. The CMS system is very easy to work with and has given us the flexibility we needed. Thank you so much Jo for all you hard work we will recommend you without hesitation, fantastic job.

Feb 2014: Amanda Holland

I have been very pleased with the new website that Joanna has created for us. We opted for a CMS system, which initially I was a little worried about as I have no website design experience, however I need not have worried as Joanna took me through each stage involved and we worked on the concepts through to completion together. We have ended up with a fresh, clean-looking site that has all the functions that I wanted, including an online shop. Joanna is at the end of the ‘phone should you have any queries and her guidance notes have been very helpful. I have no hesitation in recommending Joanna Craig for anyone looking for a new website for their business.

Nov 2013: Sam Stiller

I cannot praise Joanna Craig Website Design highly enough.
I really didn’t know how I wanted my website to look, as I had never been involved in the design of one before. I just seemed to know what I didn’t like. Joanna came to see me and immediately understood what I was trying to achieve and came up with a design that I liked very much. She is a very down to earth person who explains things in simple language.
With her recommendation I chose to have a CMS website as Joanna assured me that I would be able to change the content easily. Naturally I was somewhat cynical about this, as I am basically a technophobe. However, after a training session with Joanna I found that I could, in fact, change the content and that it was simple to do so.
So, if you need a new website, or your existing one updating, do contact Joanna Craig Website Design.

April 2013: Shirley Hook-Pattison

Just wanted to say a massive THANK YOU for all your hard work in designing my website. I am really pleased and it has already generated new clients. It is clean, well set out and easy to read. It contains all the information I wanted without being cluttered and I felt you really listened to my requirements and ideas. Your patience with my lack of IT knowledge made our working together a pleasure. I cannot recommend you highly enough.

Jan 2012: Julie Barnard

We gave Joanna a fairly broad brief to work to and the first design she produced is the one we are using now. She was incredibly helpful and simplified the whole process into easily manageable stages. She knows what works and was always ready to discuss alternatives if we weren’t sure of anything. We always new exactly what she needed from us and she delivered her part on time and for a very reasonable price. There is always fine tuning to do afterwards and she was always happy to oblige with excellent after sales service.

April 2011: Martin Gaskin

Joanna listened to my brief and produced the design I was looking for at the very first attempt. Joanna delivered my website within the agreed timescales and also designed my logo, business cards and promotional leaflets, which again were produced on time and to excellent standards. If you are looking for a friendly, professional and efficient designer then I would highly recommend Joanna Craig to anyone.

Oct 2010: Paul Clarke

From our first meeting I found Joanna to be very thorough and efficient. I felt very at ease leaving the design in her hands and was confident that she would provide me with a website that met all my requirements. I was not disappointed. I am extremely happy with the work Joanna produced and would not hesitate to recommend her. She knows exactly how to design a website that is efficient, productive and looks great.
