Chris has been excellent from conception to completion with ongoing advice and support. His expertise shows from the results we have had with first page rankings on google and web specific bookings of our services. I have no hesitation in recommending Chris he is a treasured find in a mine field of "web professionals". We are so glad we found him to do our website, [www.allsortstraining.com](https://www.allsortstraining.com). First class.

I'm so proud of the website Chris designed for me in 2011, I've asked him to create and Design another website for myself and my partner for 2012. It was not just the website I was happy with Chris, has helped me to gain more business, He supported me and gave me a lot of confidence, he has always been very professional, fast and helpful. Before meeting Chris I did a month free trial and only had 40 people look on my website with no new clients, however after only 2-3 days after lunch I had over 1000 people and I'm still gaining clients now, so I owe Chris a lot. Thank you Chris. Worth every penny and more!

I have found Chris to be very knowledgeable about his area of expertise almost passionate at times. Refreshingly, it seems that he never feels the need to bamboozle you with jargon and explains and advises you throughout the whole process, working at a pace to suit your busy schedule.I have been more than pleased with the final result and the cost of our website for our Solar installation company, so much so that I now intend to get Chris to do a new website for our electrical installation and controls company. I would thoroughly recommend Chris and the service he provides to anyone seeking a professional website.
Dave Martyn
EcoWatt Engineering, Ebbw Vale
Chris has designed my new website and I have received compliments on its clarity and utility. He produced my site quickly and brainstormed with me (and Mike) to come up with a new and more informative name. His colleague, Gareth Waters, designed my business card with me, which has similarly met with envy and accolade. I have been, and continue to be, really pleased with their service and would not hesitate to recommend their work.

From my initial concept Chris helped to create, finalise and mould our logo and then created a complete package around it. This included our amazing website, social media channels such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. Chris is always available to answer any queries, his response time is second to none.
Steve Gregory

I asked Chris to build me a website, he wasted no time in doing this and created a fantastic website for us and catered to our every need.

Had my website built from scratch by Chris, from word go the service was excellent. Initial draft ready in a couple of days, alterations carried out even quicker and any resulting issues dealt with.

Neil Gilmore
Custom Computers, Pontypool
Chris has been extremely patient with us and has tried to satisfy our needs for business very well, constantly asking if we were happy with the outcome. The site probably took a little longer to get built than planned, but overall it was well worth the wait.

Chris has just designed our website. We received exceptional service and support and guidance from Chris. What a great person to deal with, that always answers his phone to you and gets things done professionally and promptly.
Mark Morgan
Access Locksmiths, Ystrad Mynach
I had become disillusioned with my old website, and the thought of finding a new site designer was worrying me β€” the market is flooded with individuals that claim they are professional and can design websites for today's markets. After reading reviews and recommendations about Chris, I gave him a call. From start to finish he was patient with my requests, and worked with me to complete my site in record time.
Colin Littley
Photographer, Pontypridd
I received exceptional service, support and guidance from Chris when he designed, developed and set up our website. He made the scary and unknown process of setting up an e-commerce website straightforward and easy to understand, and more importantly easy to maintain myself once it was up and running. So pleased with the result β€” have had so much positive feedback about it.
Katie Williams
Cariad Chic, Pontypool
We had a business website built for us by Chris. The attention to detail and additional advice supplied was impressive. The whole process from initial discussion of our requirements, to the site going live, was handled extremely professionally and has been provided at a cost that puts the "off the shelf" website building companies to shame.
Stephen Napier
Accountant, Pontypool
The Military Mentors website is my best marketing tool. The professional presentation sets just the right tone for potential clients, most of whom comment most favourably about it. If you want to create an impressive first impression, Chris is the guy to go to.

Chris created a fantastic website for us and catered to our every need.

After shopping around for an experienced web designer, we decided on Chris. Not only was Chris knowledgeable and professional, but exceptionally quick at what he does as well! We were a bit worried as we'd never had a website before, but luckily Chris guided us in the right direction every time, the result being a fantastic, fully functioning website. Chris dealt with everything from purchasing the domain name to providing lessons to ensure we knew how to update it, and has been available via email from day one.

Used this company when we started up business ourselves. Chris designed our website and has continued to provide us with superb aftercare and advice on useful other sites to promote our business. I would really recommend him.
Steven Jackson
Absolute Pest Solutions (Wales) Ltd, Pontypool
Chris did a first class job of redesigning our website and getting the SEO spot on first time around. There are many web companies out there who talk a good game but deliver very little β€” Chris is not one of those. Understood what I wanted and delivered bang on time.
Jonathan Watson
Blue Square Safety, London
I have known Chris for some time now and always trusted his opinion on things. He will talk things through with you on a level you can understand. He is not at all a pushy sales person but a nice person who has your best interest at heart. Hard working and very, very good at what he does.
Mr Andersson
Cwmbran
Chris came to our office as we were interested in talking about SEO. Chris explained this to us fully. We went ahead and asked Chris to do the SEO for us. This has resulted in us now being number one on many Google pages covering many areas and all the services that we offer. Chris is a genuine guy and his main aim is to make your business more successful.
Penny Pressler

Website design and SEO. Extremely efficient and professional service delivered to specification. Chris built my business website, Imaginative Gourmet. I have seen a big rise in customer enquiries and work since the website went live. I would have no reservation in recommending him to anyone. I have since had a new revamp of the website from Chris.
Marietta Fourie-Owen
Imaginative Gourmet, Monmouth
From start to completion Chris has been a pleasure to work with, either in person, by phone or by email. Chris guides you and keeps you updated throughout the process. Nothing is ever trivial or too complex, his honesty and ethical values shine through in the way he conducts his work. I am very positive about the future growth in my company now I have Chris on board.
South West Training Ltd
Pontypool
I first met Chris after a brief chance call and explained my website wasn't bringing in work. Since then he has achieved fantastic things with my site and now the website continues to bring in work leads. I cannot rate this business highly enough, he is a true professional and his dedication is 100% β€” always thinking of his clients with honest feedback.
Steve Gregory
Director, Allsorts Training Academy Ltd, Pontypool
Chris has produced 2 websites for us, and also another 2 for associates who we referred Chris too. The quality, speed and price of his work was spot on and he provided me with training on the use of the CMS system. My website is compatible with all mobile phones and tablets. We are also number one on Google, testament to his SEO skills! Highly recommended.
Simon P
Digital Entrepreneur, Cardiff
"Before working with Chris, our website was simply sitting there doing nothing for our business. We knew our online presence needed to reflect the quality of our composite doors, uPVC windows, and conservatories, but the old site brought in zero enquiries. Chris built us a modern, professional website that looks fantastic and performs brilliantly. If you need a web designer who delivers real local results, we could not recommend Chris highly enough."
C Jones
Elegant Windows Ltd, Blackwood
An exceptional website, looks like I am a big company. Helped me get my first job, as it was a bit slow for me. Supported me all the way, feel I made some great friends since meeting them. Please contact them, it will be the best thing you've done. If you are a new business like I was, you should definitely get in touch with Chris straight away.
Lawrence Middleton
Usk
Complete website set up for our church. Joint input, listening to what we wanted and needed β€” we were involved every step of the way. I'm no computer genius but I can use this to update etc. Response to our website has been good and really good comments. Highly recommended.

Michael P

Chris helped us push our business forward on the internet and he designed us a great looking website that gets us great rankings on Google and other search engines. As a direct result of our website, business and bookings have really grown, highly recommended.
Anthony Francis Taylor

"We have been dealing with Chris for some time now on various projects, and he always does a good job for us and is a pleasure to work with. We needed a website that did more than just look good, it had to actively convert visitors into paying customers. Chris delivered a high-performing website that clearly showcases our work and turns casual browsers into genuine local enquiries. Within weeks of launching, the difference was incredible."

Very efficient service, feel confident I can go back to him for help if unsure how to maintain the site. We have since had a further 2 websites from Chris for our Swindon businesses.
Alex Kami

Chris has provided design for three websites, which in and of itself is a recommendation. The latest, a political site, has been highly successful because the easy-to-navigate layout provides a variety of content, making the site interesting and bringing people back time and time again.

Ian Hitchings

After having a bad experience with other web companies it was refreshing to deal with Chris. He dealt with the complexities of domain transfer quite effectively, whereas other companies had struggled. Nothing was too much trouble, and it proves that it definitely pays off when dealing locally.
Dale Puddle

Christian Morgan

I requested a website which would promote two private villas for rental. After providing some information and a selection of photographs, in a very short time we had a stunning website design which gave a good insight into the facilities provided by the villas. I was most impressed by the amount of research and forethought which had gone into the overall design of the site.
Patricia Mogford

When I saw the quality of the French holiday home website he could provide, I commissioned the same. This was up and running incredibly quickly. Chris is courteous, pleasant and always manages my changes promptly. My business has improved dramatically thanks to the site.

Chris has just been so helpful to our business with regard to IT matters and webpage design. We live in France and being in a different country has not caused any problems at all.
