Report
Our website was created on a customised buddyboss platform by our original web developers but had developed multiple issues that other developers couldn't fix. We needed someone to fix our site, update and improve our subscription and security issues, build new custom functionality and a searchable customised library page for the site and work long term with us as the site grew. Later we needed help with integration with another company so Cosmik Carrot sorted our Single user sign-on functionality.
He has also provided continuous tech support for our community for any ongoing issues and helped us with hosting. Excellent and quick communication. They are incredibly reliable - no other developer we have worked with has been able to do this!

I hired Cosmik Carrot because I had gone as far as I could on my own with my WordPress site and my WooCommerce store needed an overhaul. Working with Ben was such a pleasure. From the start, his attention to detail, from our conversations to follow up questions he asked, it was very clear that the end result was going to be exactly what I wanted. He is well versed in all things WP, WC, Divi and more.
I am beyond happy that my site is now working the way I always wanted it to and it's a much better experience for the user! If you're in need of a developer who truly knows their stuff and will give you brilliant suggestions and recommendations, look no further than Cosmik Carrot. I will be turning to them as soon as possible to take over the day-to-day management of my site as well. Highly recommend!

Ben works very efficiently and is always quick to respond to our queries. He was able to make great recommendations to bring our organisation's practices up-to-date using the website he created which has freed up a lot of our time on a process that was previously onerous and clunky. He had a lot of patience for people who aren't very website-savvy and who had limited time available to dedicate to developing this. Great service and very knowledgeable.

Ben is an amazing partner to engage for your website project. He understands not only WordPress very well but also the relevant plugins for my project which included LearnDash, MemberPress and UnCanny. He has a structured milestone based delivery model, so you know exactly how your project is progressing. He created an elegant and logical Sitemap and the design is better than I had imagined. We hit some issues with a plugin bug but Ben worked directly with them to get it fixed. Ben comes highly recommended.

Ben was recommended to me by a colleague. I recommend engaging Ben for your project. He completed the WP form and subscriber tasks quickly, efficiently and effectively. He was clear in communication from the outset, responded in timely manner to many questions, gave helpful advice about why one solution was preferred over another and checked requirements were clear at the beginning and as progress was made.

I hired Cosmik Carrot to develop a website, from scratch, for my business. Ben has been an absolute dream to work with. From the very first meeting, he was responsive, receptive and open to new ideas. Communication has been 1st class and Ben always replied promptly. He, in turn, also gave me lots of good ideas and suggestions which I had not thought of. Just as important, the finished product is much better than I could have imagined. I could not have wished for a better website developer. I wholeheartedly recommend Cosmik Carrot! Worth every penny.

We selected Ben at Cosmik Carrot for our recent Wordpress (DiviBuilder) website improvement project as he demonstrated a clear understanding of the project aims, and offered a host of intelligent insights into enhancing our site's SEO and performance. Ben produced new pages to encourage additional lead enquiries, and improved the styling of existing pages too. With his thorough and organised approach, the project was completed on schedule. Then, in contrast to other developers we've worked with, Ben provided an invaluable tutorial session covering everyday tasks, so that we can manage them in-house. We would be happy to work again with Cosmik Carrot on any future site improvement project.

WordPress Event Espresso Integration and Customization Apr 2018 - May 2018 Ben was amazing to work with. He provided a schedule, with deliverables and adhered to both. He was fast, efficient, and easy to work with. Great communication skills and the quality of his work is top-notch. I would recommend Ben to anyone.
Emma Blundell
I am so incredibly happy with the website that Cosmik Carrot provided me with. There was so much care and detail gone into the design and I couldn't have asked for anything more. I will definitely be using them again for my next business venture.
Meredith Whitely
Ben provided great support over the course of the project, especially as some elements changed slightly as things progressed. In addition to adding Event Espresso, he has also greatly improved my site speed and design by changing WordPress themes. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to use Event Espresso on their site.
Daniella Norwood
A project I was working on used the Event Espresso plugin and I wanted to find a web developer who was reliable, responsive and thorough to set up and configure EE. Ben met all of these requirements and then some.
Ben was always available to answer any questions, met the deadline and went above and beyond during the project. I would highly recommend Ben and would not hesitate to work with him again.
