Client Testimonials

Words from happy customers

Before deciding on a company to redevelop my existing basic Green Jelly webshop I contacted quite a few web developers and designers in the local area and further afield. When talking to H18 it became immediately obvious that they clearly understood what I wished to achieve where other companies had missed the point. As I was looking for new branding, H18’s ability to provide design for both online and offline materials was a distinct advantage.

H18’s initial suggestions for the look and feel of site were excellent and helped in deciding on the boutique style of the shop. I have been really impressed at how Jim has taken the graphic design from a few basic concept ideas into a fantastic logo (which has received lots of positive comments) and brand identity which is reflected across the webshop and in printed materials. Matt on the technical side looked at Green Jelly’s specific requirements and developed the CubeCart application to meet the additional needs of the site, increasing the features available and making it more flexible.

The result of H18's work is a professional e-commerce website which has far exceeded my expectations. The standard of work at H18 is excellent and I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a new website or graphic design company.

Sharon Heinrich / Green Jelly / February 2010

I work in the creative industry producing videos for all different clients. My main concern for a website was making sure it represented what my company is about. It needed to give of an energy and a wave of creativeness! On the internet, people do judge you on your 'front cover' and I needed a company to produce a website that would do this for me.

H18 were just the company, I stumbled across them by accident but after calling them I knew they were for me. They understand exactly what their customers need, they listen and suggest relevant ideas and work with you to produce what you want. But then they surprise you by completing your project to a much higher standard than anticipated!

I would highly recommend H18 to anyone seeking a new website and am positive they could create something for everyone from simple to complex, they are efficient, quick, responsive and great to get on with.

Tom Voller / Wild Lion Media / October 2009

H18 is the talented team behind the Hopscotch Kids e-commerce website. They ensured that the online shop reflected the look and feel of my children's boutique by researching the market, visiting my shop and asking about my style. I have been very impressed with the excellent service, quality and professionalism. I met with several other designers and H18's design ideas and development skills are definitely ahead of the competition.

Both Matt and Jim are extremely creative and were fantastically knowledgeable about what was achievable. They were also friendly, approachable and had lots of patience! The team worked extremely hard to ensure the finished site was exactly what I wanted. They are passionate about good design, amazing service and outstanding quality.

I have already recommended H18 to other businesses and am confident that others will be equally impressed!
