Testimonials

“BS Steels is a growing business, and having Robert to work alongside us means that the website keeps up and reflects our progress. His monthly reports on traffic, searches and rankings are complemented by his intelligent interest in the business. Our rankings have benefitted accordingly. We have a genuine partnership, enabling us to plan to get BS Steels’ message across effectively.”

Roger Slade, General Manager, BS Steels Ltd


“I chose Robert because I wanted to work with someone who understood my business, and who would deliver on time and on budget. Robert was invaluable when it came to finding applications and plug-ins which dramatically enhance the functionality and visual impact of the site, www.harlynreseach.co.uk. From the start, the site was designed to accommodate the extra pages necessary to support the continuing growth of the business. It has already generated more enquiries than I expected. I am so delighted that Robert and I have already started to talk about phase 2 of the project.”

Simon Goodfellow, Managing Partner, Harlyn Research LLP


“Over the last few years Robert has successfully completely reconfigured our website www.adviser.co. He was easy to work with and got into the heart of our financial advice business to produce a website that targets those we wish to build relationships with in a professional and effective way. He has enabled our search rankings to rise significantly and has kept us informed over the time since then with regular updates as he has tweaked the website to continue to improve its appearance and rankings.

A particular bonus has been Robert’s encouragement that we update portions of the site ourselves and he has ensured that we can do this efficiently and accurately. I can thoroughly recommend his services both to build a site and then maintain and strengthen it over time.”

Simon Holdsworth, Duchy Wealth Management


“Robert Gibson has taken responsibility for this Registered Charity’s website and created our Facebook page. He has transformed the website into a powerful, colourful and interesting means of communicating with our members and project partners in the UK, Africa and the USA and it is evident that is read with interest across many Developing Countries. Robert monitors the effectiveness of both website and Facebook page and ensures that they gain the maximum number of ‘hits’. Frequent updating ensures that there is constantly something new and attractive both for existing users and new web surfers. As Chair of the Charity, I am immensely grateful to him.”

Julian Marcus, Chair, Tanzania Development Trust


“By seeking to understand my aims from the outset, Robert was able to suggest a site entirely appropriate to my needs. Discussions throughout the creation process, and clear explanations at every stage, gave me full confidence in the finished product. In particular, Robert encouraged me to consider a blog to complement my published work, and this has indeed given an added dimension to my writing.

Since the site went live, Robert’s assistance has given me confidence to become a regular blogger – something I could not have imagined a short time ago. I look forward to further collaboration over the site.”

“We are very pleased with the web page that Robert designed and created for us. It demonstrates our property to its full potential. From our initial introduction Robert was proactive in preparing drafts and extracting data from us following his own inquisitive investigations. Everything was by e mail and telephone communication and Robert was excellent at understanding, advising and interpreting our requirements. Our web page was on line in only three weeks and receiving hits almost immediately.

Thank you Robert for a job well done.”

“Robert took time to understand my business, tourist guiding, and so was able to design a site that has enhanced my profile and significantly increased my business. He designed the site so that it would be easily picked up by search engines and so I am now one of the most highly ranked London guides in search engines such as Google. He also made useful suggestions as how to make my site more appealing. These include every day a new London anniversary with information about the city, information about tours, accessible by clicking on headline pictures, and an easy link to my availability calendar. He is also readily available if I have queries about my site”
