Bio
Joanna Hartley
Nick is a diligent fellow; a recent and talented signing to our wider team of Associates. In refreshing/re-building web presence on behalf of one of our long-standing clients, Nick and his colleague at Urban Haze, Stuart Coleman, quickly grasped the brief, which required the introduction of eCommerce. Thoughtful and proactive in their approach, they soon built good rapport with us and our client; while ensuring tech solutions matched business goals. The whole project was implemented smoothly and to plan. We hope to work with Nick again.

Nick isn't just a techy who builds websites. He's got a very sharp commercial mind. Rather than just build my websites, Nick first challenged me to clarify the service I offer and the customers I target before starting to develop anything. The result has been a series of very clearly thought out websites. We've often spent hours working out the plan before changing anything and in every case, he's been instrumental in reshaping my thinking. He has a superb knowledge of Wordpress, the plugins available and is amazingly fast at making changes. He's also got a great designer he calls on for the graphic work. I'd definitely recommend Nick to develop your website for growing your business.
