James at Kode did a complete website redesign for us. Right from the initial contact he was helpful, informative and always offered constructive advice on how to build a better website. After some initial pointers as to the kind of look and navigation we were after he very quickly came up with a great initial concept design and then a full website. I couldn't recommend him highly enough. Thank you.Posted on Google Marianne BlackTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Having shopped around for a website designer who was affordable, whose own website was inspiring and who offered other services on top of just web design, I chose Kode Designs because it ticked all those boxes compared to the competitors. James asked me a few questions about my yet-to-be-launched business and from this, designed a beautiful, really informed website for me, which I couldn’t be happier with. He has been fully supportive throughout the process, including over the weekends, sorting out questions extremely promptly, with nothing seeming too much trouble. I highly recommend Kode for design, price and support.Posted on Google Flamingo PoolTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
