Testimonials


Finding Mike at art71 was probably one of our best business moves this
century! Outstanding knowledge and service combined with our very
specialised products have culminated in three superb web sites. Having
dealt with many web designers over the years I know now that we could
have saved a fortune, if only we had found art71 first.
All sites are now at least in the top 5 on Google, all have stunning
design and great functionality. Our three sites are all increasing in
revenue. Behind the scenes, all the work that art71 does is stable and
100% reliable, updates are carried out immediately. I am not sure what
more we could ask for? An all round great company with a great attitude
and service.

Very helpful and extremely patient when helping us mere mortals to understand computer
terms and lingo. The service provided is perfect. Wouldn't change a thing. Nothing has
been too much trouble, very flexible and willing to listen to our ideas and give helpful
tips and advice along the way.

I have been using art71.com's services for over 10 years. Think about it. Ten years. There can only be one reason: it is simply the most efficient service available. What does efficient mean? It gets the job done: high rankings, good traffic flow, useful inquiries, friendly interface, and all at a reasonable cost. And no blarney. Now how rare is that in today's world? I would recommend art71.com to anyone. If you think this is blarney - just email me from my web page.

Apart from exemplary, the one word that sums up art71 and Mike Slater's design, coding
and database work with the netcoverdirect.com website is pro-active. Once Mike gained a
thorough understanding of the workings of our online-only travel insurance business, he
not only streamlined the client-facing side of the business but also automated most of
our upstream weekly reporting to Underwriters and the FSA (Financial Services Authority)
- and created a secure online control center with a set of bespoke tools which help us
understand our customer base better and thereby serve them better. And if that isn't
enough, we are now working on a new, innovative customer tool for launch soon. Keep watching the art71 space - we do.

art71 made the process of designing the website very easy and painless - there was no technical jargon to dazzle and confuse me. My ideas were taken on board and given a professional finish, complete with a touch of humour which captures the essence of the book being sold on the site. As the design developed, Mike was happy to make alterations and to add details which I hadn't thought of during the planning stage. His response to my queries was always very swift. I have been delighted by the result.

art71 designed and runs our website and were readily able to comprehend where we thought we differed in a crowded market place. The web site looks distinctive but not full of gimmicks and I have always received positive comments.

L.L.A.N.I. Ltd first worked with art71 in 2002 when developing the Llanidloes town website. The ease with which the site came together and the continued excellent support and assistance in maintaining the site since that time, has completely justified our decision to award the contract for www.llanidloes.com to art71.
Our town website consistently scores highly across a large range of searches on Google. Not only does it get to the top of the page, but it does so over a great number of search terms. Art71 has certainly cracked the art of achieving high search engine ranking, boosting the presence of www.llanidloes.com and making it the single most effective marketing tool for our area.

We get a lot of people looking at our website and booking the cottages because the
website is so informative and the photos are great.
Mike is a good laugh and easy to get along with, just ply him with red wine now and again
and he will do anything.

We are really pleased with the service art71 offers. Mike is incredibly fast
at making updates/changes to our website and has succeeded in getting us on
the top page on Google (we were around page 25 before). This has had a
positive effect on our revenues. We are extremely happy we chose to work
with art71 and would recommend them to anyone who needs a fast, intelligent
service with a personal touch. Keep up the good work, Mike!

Since building our website in 2007, Mike's service in terms of upgrades and
suggestions has been first class. All changes in terms of new text or design
are completed with great efficiency and in a very speedy manner. Mike's
talents as a photographer are very useful and cater for changes in
circumstances within the business, e.g. change of personnel and photographic
content per page. Mike delivers an exceptional service and we look forward
to working with him over the coming years.

We would like thank you for designing our website. We were looking for a bespoke e-commerce site that could build picture frames online around customers own art work. This you have done with speed and great technical skill. We now have a website which has been custom built to our specification and well beyond, with your help and guidance. We would recommend you to anyone looking for a website that stands out, which also, as a bonus, has a very high search engine ranking - always in the top 10/15.
