John also followed up periodically to check that the website is performing as expected and keep me informed of any maintenance/updates to the hosting of the site. Excellent service that I would definitely recommend.

Highly recommend John. He has designed a fresh and very clear website for our business. He picked up a feel for our business before doing the design and we are very happy with it. All the way through John has kept us updated and offered suggestions and solutions when we were unclear. Always very professional and efficient, he kept us informed by email or phone at all times. If you are looking for a website designer, give John a call, I am sure you will be very happy with his work.

Glossopdale Foodbank wanted a website that was modern and professional looking with clear information that was easy to navigate. John listened to our brief and absolutely delivered on all of these objectives. We are extremely impressed by the illustrations he provided for us which are bespoke, designed by John himself. In every aspect of the website development John has been helpful, friendly, collaborative and approachable. He answered questions promptly and nothing was too much trouble. It has been an absolute pleasure working with him.

John designed a website that promoted all that we stand for and do that is clear and easy to navigate as well as visually lovely. He also has endless patience with those of us who are technically challenged. Thank you John!

I would highly recommend using John to create your website. He was extremely professional and thoroughly researched the market and the competition before coming up with a plan that was perfectly tailored to my needs and in addition created a logo, business cards and a mailing card for me, all of great quality and elegance. The completed website is clear, effective and easy to use and John was there to help guide me on its use and to provide ongoing support and updates. You couldn't ask for better service and he goes beyond the required brief as he really cares about the final product.

I found John Robinson design, whilst trying to find someone local i could work with on a new Website. After meeting up a couple of times to discuss budget and content, John came up with his proposals which i was very pleased with. Throughout the process of building the site nothing was too much trouble, John regularly kept me updated so it was easy to just keep thinking up the content i wanted as we progressed.
The end result was a superb site that i can manage myself, which was also delivered in budget. I can honestly say working with John was an absolute pleasure. If you are looking for a Website that actually works as it should on all platforms, i don't think you will get any better value for money. Tim McGovern Kitchen Door Refinishing

John has been fantastic to work with. From initial contact to our final design he has taken the time to fully understand our business needs and create a logo which fits so well with our business goals. John provided us with a questionnaire which allowed us to easily portray what our morals are and get across what we wanted from our new logo design. He then used our responses to create two logos, from which we could choose our favourite.
The whole process took no longer than a couple of weeks, we were kept up to date with the progress and we couldn't be happier with our final design. I couldn't recommend John enough; his professionalism and knowledge are outstanding. John Delany Motors are very excited to launch our new logo design!

John runs the website of the company I work for and it's part of my job to develop it and keep it updated with fresh content. John is extremely quick to receive and implement any new content I send him, and he often comes up with new / better ideas of how our website can be improved and advanced as our business grows.
