Client Feedback

SkinFlint Design
From initial briefing to final delivery we found all at Dewsign a pleasure to work. The site design and bespoke management system far exceeded our expectations, the high level of business generated since launch is testimony to this.

Chris Miller
Managing Director

Origin Coffee
Our website was completely lacking in all aspects. It was basic, clunky to edit and very unmanageable with a look which was far from on-brand. With the help of Dewsign we have a particularly cool looking site which delivers everything we outlined in the brief. The CMS system couldn't be easier and the guys are always super quick to respond to any queries or help we need. In summary? We're stoked with it and chuffed we chose them.

AASAP/UK
We are SO grateful for everything you have done (and continue to do) for AASAP/UK. The web site has made all the difference for the association; when I look back on the way we communicated with members when we started everything in 1991, it seems like the Stone Age!

Dewsign listened to our specific ideas about how we wanted the website to look and work, and a template was quickly put together, we were then given several options which enhanced the look and function of the website. We are delighted with the end results and the ability to edit the content ourselves means that keeping the website up to date is a piece of cake!

Thanks so much for getting both the Port Eliot Festival and new Port Eliot House websites live. They both look magnificent and we all appreciate all you had to do to turn them around in time.
