I couldn't have hoped for a better design. After many different design's that Blast Factory made for me, he was patient and took in all my feedback and made a logo that was person to me in a professional and artistic way. He never kept me waiting around, always within the same day of me sending him an email, also quick with replying which was good for me. Thank you again, so happy with the outcome. Highly recommend!

What makes a great website?
Like the phrase ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder’, effective web design is judged by the users of the website and not the website owners. There are many factors that affect the usability of a website, and it is not just about form (how good it looks), but also function (how easy is it to use).
