"Sarah is extremely talented and creative. She has the ability to envision a project from start to finish and has great attention to detail. I have worked with many web developers in the past and Sarah and Chris are the best in the business for communicating ideas in simple yet effective way to complete the project on time.

Ganesha Param, Doctor Vein
"We are thrilled with the new website. It is just so clean, clear, bright and so very professional. It was a challenge to combine two old websites into one functional website, and through lots of brainstorming and persistence we came up with the perfect solution. The new website is modern, fresh, and informative, meeting all the needs of MCISC. It was a much bigger project at this end than we though it would be, so we are grateful for your flexibility and understanding."
Paula & Stuart, Mornington Community Information and Support Centre
"Sarah and Chris were very easy to work with, providing a highly professional service. Our website was completed promptly, and they provided advice on updating and managing the website during the process. Since the launch of our new website, we’ve had outstanding results and a substantial increase in wedding bookings; results I didn’t think were possible."

Thanks for the prompt feedback, helpful ideas and for “explaining” everything to me in laymans terms. I love the end result!"
