I have been working with Ash and the Spotlight Studio Teams since 2018 and have to say it was the best decision I made choosing them to support me with my IT support and website design needs. I can count on the Spotlight Studios team to help resolve any tech/website issues I have. Thank you for your swift support Ash. More...

Agreed with Ashley to create our website on 25.4.2023, They asked for £1200 up front, still today the website is not completed 27. 01 2024. The whole experience has been atrocious, we were suppose to launch our new business Sept 2023 but due to delays from Spotlight Studios could not launch, they take 3-4 days to answer emails also never answer calls always have to book a ticket. Don't abide by there own contract. I have had an independent expert investigate the website and it was a template website and we don't have full autonomy of website either. which means we have to keep going back to them to add anything. They have really caused a lot delays which has caused issues and they have a no refund policy. Taking them to court as the work is not up to standard. More...

I hardly ever write reviews but this place deserves one! I joined today after a wonderful tour from Rachel who was very helpful, fun, patient and showed me around before I signed up. On joining today I got this super special welcome box and met some great people around and was introd to them! Today I also met Sheridan who did some health and safety tour bits with me and we had a good laugh. Overall the place is beautifully decorated, the coffee is good and strong, desks are big, people are lovely, and they have a great choice of kitchen cooking equipment, teas of all sorts and flavoured waters. It has a super warm and welcoming vibe and I have a feeling il be very happy having this place as my office! Thank you for a magical onboarding experience and happy to be here 🌟 More...

The most beautiful and best co-working space in Manchester! When I first moved to Manchester 3 years ago, I looked around several spaces before joining Beehive as no-where else compared. There were some other good options, but they all felt clinical. Beehive gave me a sense of community straight away and the space has always given me a feeling of calm (even when some work days can be less than calm and super stressful!). The owners have created something really special and have clearly been super picky when hiring their staff, as they are all incredibly friendly, willing to go out of their way for you and really do make you feel so welcome. I sadly haven't had the chance to join any of the social events, but there are some really great events hosted, for those wanting to connect or meet new people. Wine tasting, networking events, meditation sessions, book club.. etc. I've met some awesome people here and cannot recommend it enough!! More...

We approached Spotlight Studios to rebuild our company website and assist with the integration of the Learning Management System and eCommerce Gateway. From the outset, the team at Spotlight Studios have been nothing short of awesome. The speedy responses to any queries, requests and additional requirements is first class. Their ability to deliver what was asked for, with a few recommended tweaks that come from experience has resulted in a superb, fit for purpose website. If you are looking for a company that doesn’t overcharge you, that works with you, advises and delivers, then I cannot recommend them enough. Cheers to Peter and the team for your ongoing assistance.

Once you see inside, it's no surprise Beehive became my place of work, but it's also become an important part of my life in many other ways. The people here are all lovely and there's always something going on and someone to sip a coffee with while patting a dog on the head. The staff at Beehive do a fantastic job of creating a healthy community. Their eye for the details is impressive. There's no customer service shrugging and 'computer says no' here. I've honestly never known a more attentive bunch. Service with a smile would be an understatement of this place. Service with friendship is closer to Beehive's style. They run several events a week ranging from raiki healing to roller blading, stand up comedy to book club. If you're looking to work somewhere that will leave an impression on your clients, I couldn't think of a better place. More...

We simply cannot begin to express or put into words how extraordinary the Spotlight Studios team is! We fell in love with Spotlight when we first met Kyla, and she was so patient and helpful answering all of of questions. During our engagement shoot, we realized that we had struck gold and were able to relax and have fun throughout the whole experience. We immediately booked Kyla and her team for our wedding and we credit our stress free, fun loving experience in front of the camera to Spotlight Studios. Between their guidance, caring nature, and genuine love of their craft, we are so incredibly fortunate to have found Kyla and her amazing team! They made everything so easy, took charge when needed, and have mastered the art of hiding in plain sight. It’s clear that the Spotlight Studios team loves what they do, and we are so incredibly fortunate that they were part of our best day ever! Thank you Spotlight Studios! We can’t wait for our future photo shoots with you! More...

A truly unique and inspiring space, with a team that genuinely cares for the people here, always going above and beyond to help and think up great social and food events without ever pressuring anyone to have to do it all. Been here for 18 months apart from a brief stint in WeWork spinningfields for a freelance client, and this stands out well above the rest of any coworking space in Manchester. Couldnt recommend more!

Oh my goodness these were the best photographs I could ask for!!!!! And the experience with Kyla was fun, romantic and it felt like the team ( stylist/assistant/photographer) really enjoyed their jobs and our company. My husband and I decided to hire Kyla a week after our wedding, put all our fancy clothes back on and have an adventurous photo shoot in the woods just us. I never thought having a photo shoot session would be an enjoyable thing!!, I was so blown away by the shoot itself and then when the sneak peeks came out I knew I made the right choice. Over 200 shots are worthy of framing hanging and sharing. I couldn’t believe it! I will cherish this forever. Thank you Kyla and congrats on being a new mommmmmy!!!!!! And thanks to the team for caring so much about every detail! you all rock! More...

Would highly recommend Spotlight Studios. I do not have much knowledge of website design or anything like that but Sean and Ash at Spotlight helped me through everything in a calm, professional manner.
They took our website from looking very old and outdated to very current and new. They listened to everything that I asked for and exceeded my expectations.
Also very happy with how quickly it was completed and how professional the website now looks.

What makes a great website?
In our opinion keeping a website professional whilst ensuring it's user friendly is key to the success of any project. However it doesn't stop there, whilst a website is your shop window and often the first impression of your brand it need to be able to convert and entice those browsing your site to get in touch and this is what we do best.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
What are there goals for building a new website and what role will your website play in your business.
What do you love most about your job?
People... whilst we're quite "techie" people we're not your traditional nerdy computer geeks. We like to get to know you and your business, this way we can ensure you get the most optimal results, and our relationship thrives as your business grows.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Building something from nothing is very motivational, and in our industry we get to help other businesses do just that. There is nothing more rewarding when your work enabled a company to reach their goals or they secure contracts of the work and features you built and put in place.
Why should our clients choose you?
Well if you've got this far down the page it's likely we'll be a very good fit. We like clients who are as honest with as as we are with them. We're not "yes-men" and if we think something needs to be raised our team will always ensure you have all the right information so you can make an informed decision.
