Great service. Cannot fault Tracey’s attention to detail and the quick turnaround- would highly recommend.
Steve
Arctic Bee built me a great starter website for my gardening business.
It was built within a few days and Tracey also designed a logo and business cards for me as a free add on.
I'm more than happy with the service she provided for me, and fully recommended her as she was very professional, polite and helpful. And kept me well informed while building my website.

Excellent design, easy to navigate. :-)

I would highly recommend Tracey without hesitation.
She took the time to fully understand the requirements for my website, creating a wonderfully creative and professional looking website.
Furthermore, she produced quick results which took my website to the top of Google within weeks of the website going live and the evidence was there - my phone started ringing with new customers.
And this is only the start - she is now helping me with content writing for my online advertisements and my social media profiles and I cannot wait to see the results.
I understand how important it is now to use an experienced website designer like Tracey as it has been a sound investment at a surprisingly affordable cost.

What makes a great website?
A website that is tailored to your business first and foremost. It needs to be right for you.
Easy to navigate and user friendly - I pay attention to disability access and the customer base: it has to be pitched perfectly.
Easy to find and quick to load
A website that can adapt and grow over time
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
Tell me about your business/ project.
Who is your target customer?
Do you want to manage it yourself or for us to update it for you?
Do you have a social media presence and how successful is it?
Are there any websites you specifically like the the look and feel of?
Is there a deadline/ do you have a launch date in mind?
What do you love most about your job?
It's fun - it doesn't feel like work at all. And I even build free websites for mall charities because I simply like doing it. I'm continually learning new skills too - I've just ventured into designing my first mobile phone app. I never know what clients will ask for and the world of technology is constantly changing so you have to continually learn and adapt - I've been doing this for twenty years. We've come a long way since the days of Netscape!
What inspired you to start your own business?

Why should our clients choose you?
I am friendly and approachable - no, really, I am! I'm sure everyone says that but I have customers going back over ten years because I don't speak in technical jargon and I'm always at the end of the phone. I try and meet customers face to face where possible and there's nothing like a regular coffee and catchup because it's not just about providing a website; it's got to fit into an overall marketing strategy and I need to continually adapt the approach of online marketing in order to help the business with it's overall growth.
