TheWebSmiths Client Comments
Comments from Adam Smith Creative Wedding Photography
Steve listened to my exact requirements and made another site I can be proud of.
The whole site went from concept to final upload in less then a week, and Steve didn't mind making final tweaks during the final design process.
An all round professional service, I'd recommend The WebSmiths to anyone.

Comments from Accelerated Compost Limited
My previous working history was the motor trade, the nearest I came to internet was the occasional email - to say I was a novice was an understatement. I took on a new role in a new company and the website ( amongst other things) became my baby, we've an unusual product that no one really knew of - but we have a massive potential market.
So - a novice, a new product, little web knowledge could have been the recipe for disaster!
I believed that I had the foresight to predict what would be wanted on the website and how it might look, however I needed the technical "know how" to translate my ramblings into something that worked.
Now I'll tell you the product... machinery to recycle food waste. Sound like a task to make interesting as a website?
The WebSmiths have done just this for me, my site's a constantly changing site with additions and works in progress in the background - brilliant, jargon free advice from them and simple explanations.
I'm always part of the process, if it's straight forward I'll submit the changes by email or phone, it gets done no quibbles, however if it's something more complex we'll sit and talk it over, try a couple of test pages until we both agree - me with the format, and the WebSmiths with what will work foir the search engines.
I don't have complications, they just don't happen, I do have good communication and a great working relationship though, I take their advice when it's given and the site works well, we get a lot of complements on its simple layout, I need to make some amendments - but that's all to do with my time more than anything.
Honestly - I can't see me using anyone else for Web services again - and no I'm not a member of their family, next door neighbour or a debtor.... I just appreciate a supplier who listens to me and translates it into what my customers see.

Comments from Cheshire Helicopters - Helicopter Charter Flights
This is the first time I have had a website built. As much as I know my way around the usual programs on a computer, the thought of building a website to something I would feel happy with was not a prospect I treasured.
The Websmiths was recommended to me via a friend. Steve immediately contacted me back and we chatted about what I was after; I gave a few web addresses of sites I liked the look of. A short while later, and we were back on the phone, and the technical aspects of each site were explained to me. It was apparent everything was very much under control and I was told to leave it with him. A couple of days later, I got an email with a link into my site in its production stage. Things moved quickly, and the only hold up was me producing the text.
With some good direction, I have a website that looks great and within a fortnight of going live is at the top of page 1 on a google search.
How can you beat that!
Many thanks.

After numerous attempts at creating our own website and getting nowhere, we contacted Steve the owner of TheWebsmiths, which we all at ICHI believe is the best option we took. After a meeting with Steve that took only 3-4 hours we had a whole new concept for our site, Steve redesigned it to a level we could not possibly imagine, and to see this designed and constructed before my eyes was a treat to have. Every tweak to an image or a colour was just making the site more and more perfect.
Even after the site was live on the web Steve was at hand with more ideas and help. Including adding a Forum to our site, which for what we are aiming for in our promotions work was definitely needed and a perfect way to keep in contact with people. Even down to any additions we made by ourselves to the site that were incorrect, Steve would be at hand to correct them.
Web Design, construction and after service help all in one package..??? Hardly ever heard of!!...But Steve was the man and we HIGHLY recommend him to anyone, therefore we christened him "WEB JEDI"
Thanks

Dear Steve
We are writing to say how delighted we are with our Website – you’ve done a superb job and created a very professional image of Titan Tapes.
Our apologies for changing so many things, so often, and thanks for your very incisive input and intelligent suggestions.
It has been refreshing to deal with a company who responds so quickly – our last two companies took days to amend or create something, with you it was barely hours.
We will certainly recommend you to other companies – apart from other Tape companies of course!
Yours sincerely
P B Heyes

I was having
a bit of trouble finding the
right people to design &
host our site, when a friend
of mine strongly recommended
Steve Sproston.
From the minute we spoke to
Steve back in January, &
took on his services to design,
& host our e-commerce
website, the internet side
of our business has been a
breeze!
Of all the companies that
supply services to us, I can
honestly say that none have
been as much of an assett
to this company, as Steve
Sproston at TheWebSmiths!
On the design side, Steve
seems to have an un-canny
ability to know what we're
talking about, and to transform
verbal instructions into form,
extremley accuratley. Plus,
any changes that need to be
made, he makes very quickly
(most of the time, whilst
I'm on the phone to him!).
His knoweldge & experience
I would say has saved us quite
a lot of money, as he is able
to advise us properly on all
aspects of designing &
running the site. Whilst borrowing
this kind of knowledge, you
don't need to make costly
mistakes!
With regard to hosting, I
am just as impressed, we rarely
have any problems, & if
we ever do, he's on to them
so quickly that we only find
out about it when he lets
us know that its fixed!
If Steve put his fee's up
by double tomorrow, I can
say quite truthfully that
I wouldn't quibble!
If you have any questions
at all about Steve Sproston
& TheWebSmiths, feel free
to email me or give me a call,
Kind regards

"After unsuccessfully trying to build our own website, it just wasn't working, even after paying for the services of an alleged web designer! Then we heard about Steve Sproston, the owner of SJS Web design (now TheWebSmiths) and we haven't looked back since. This was simply the best advertising move we have ever made!
Steve scrapped what we already had and started from fresh, totally re-designing it, after listening carefully to all our needs. We changed from what was a poor quality website, to an award winning fully operational website with all the bells & whistles, very easily, very quickly and without having to spend silly money!
Steve has interpreted our ideas perfectly and taken all the hard work out of what to us, a major trauma and turned it into a working reality. He has submitted our site to the search engines and now we are regularly the number one listing during a search. We have had many bookings from this superb advertising media.
Every time we need to make a change, small or large, it has been changed the same day and at a sensible price. Nothing is too much trouble. We wish everybody we dealt with were this good and highly recommend Steve to anybody, unless you're a competitor, in which case, he's rubbish!"
