Reason8 with Tom was an amazing experience. Since the beginning I was hesitant to work with a company to develop a website.
This was due to previous colleagues telling me how companies/individuals work very slowly and also ghost for a while. Working with Tom at Reason8 was the complete opposite. His response was immediate and he answered all queries. The only thing that was slowing down the process was me!
His ideas and experience was really useful and he tidied up the final website with a few great touches.
I am glad I have found my 'tech guy' for all future website development and for resolving issues, doing SEO's etc.
Won't be letting go of these guys anytime soon!

Tom (Reason8) is a great guy.
Tom responded to our request of needing some SEO and website rework.
In a nut shell… We had a website built last year.
The designer built our website on an old platform, Tom tried everything he could to make it work for us but the plugins and widgets needed to make our website comply caused many problems as they wasn’t compatible with our older platform.
Tom suggested that it would better all round to start from scratch, he gave us a quotation, threw in some freebies and now we have super website.
The complexity of our website having 3 different in-depth services takes time to build, word correctly, tick all the boxes and at the same time look awesome.
Having looked at Toms portfolio and the other websites that he has built, We can honestly say that our website (apart from his own) is probably the best website he has built to date.
Tom can do anything, just ask…!
Building a website and getting right is definitely hard work and time consuming for Tom and ourselves. It wasn’t a decision we made lightly, if I’m honest I totally under estimated how much work was needed from our part.
Reason8 made it relatively easy, he’s easy to talk too, he’s responsive, he is definitely a genuine guy and cares passionately about what he does.
Reason8 definitely make sure that you are happy with what service you’ve bought.

We Highly recommend Tom at Reason8, he is extremely knowledgable and delivers a really professional service. Tom has created a web site that will carry us into the future with online reservations, quotations and sale facitities. Tom has always been very patient with us and nothing has ever been too much trouble.

Reason8 also provided us with video tutorials which I have found really helpful, thank you Tom for all your hard work, we are already seeing the benefits of our new Website. More...

Thank you Tom and the team you done a wonderful job.

Miriam
We have engaged Reason8 for a new website, SEO services and ongoing web management and related services. Having had previous adverse experiences, I was very nervous about engaging a new marketing agency and found it very difficult to trust anything anyone in the industry said to me.
I did copious amounts of research and Reason8 were actually recommended to me by another larger agency who I liked but were a little big for my business.
Reason 8 have just finished my new website and I couldn't be more thrilled with it. After running my business for ten years and having had 3 previous websites, for the first time I feel that we have a website that I feel really proud of and matches up to the level of professionalism that we aim to operate at. I think Tom must be one of the most hard-working people I have ever met in any realm of life. He worked hard on our website continuously for weeks without ever showing signs of getting fed up. He was highly communicative throughout, never leaving me unsure or wondering. His communication was always clear even on technical matters. He also has great business acumen and commerciality which has been a real asset in his work for us.
I never once felt that he was more enthusiastic during the process before I became a client than afterwards which for any business owner is a common experience! He remained committed and made us feel like a genuinely valued client.
We look forward to benefiting from the SEO services which commence for us with Reason8 now.

During our website development that we have ordered at Reason8 agency we never felt like we were put off, Tom always answered all questions immediately which is very important in our time, since many of digital agencies are chatty and conversational only until the moment of payment, but not Reason8. We were satisfied with the result, and I dont think that we were the easiest of clients as we had strong opinion on every detail. Really responsive and easy to deal with - exactly what you would be looking for in this type of services. Well done Reason8! More...

I highly recommend using Tom and Reason8 for your website development. From not knowing where to start Tom has held my hand through the whole process. From recommending what package best suited my business needs, to putting forward ideas and ways of presenting information that I wouldn't have ever come up with on my own, Tom has been patient and accommodating of all my requests. I have never felt uncomfortable disagreeing with any suggestions as Tom is prepared to keep going until he finds the best fit. Made a quite daunting and overwhelming task quite enjoyable and stress free. Thanks again Tom. I absolutely love my new website!!!! More...

Reason8 are fabulous! I was looking for a website to be designed for my company that was professional, fresh and easy to navigate.
Tom and Rachel met my expectations and more. We had an introductory call where I explained my requirements and within 5 days I had a preliminary view of my website. Tom and Rachel were very receptive to my changes and we worked closely together to get my website to where I wanted it to be. They are very hardworking and responded to my questions and changes very quickly.
I now have a fabulous website that meets my needs and will hopefully appeal to future clients. I would highly recommend Reason 8 if you are looking for a great website design that suits the needs of your business.

We were looking to update our website in order to provide more information for our potential and existing customers. A clean well presented site was key with clear concise information to keep customer attention and improve user experience. After an initial discussion with Tom at Reason8 it was clear that they would be able to give us exactly what we were looking for. After appointment we were quickly presented with ideas and options for the project. Following a couple of clarification meetings the site was ready to go live. We gave Reason8 the responsibility of hosting and maintaining the site as we were unable to facilitate this ourselves. The end result has been fantastic. To the the extent we have asked Reason8 to carry out work on two further sites for us. Well done guys. Job well done. More...

What makes a great website?
A great website should not be overcomplicated. It should contain a consistent house style, with high quality imagery, clear call to actions and mobile optimisation.
It should also have a good user experience and be easy to use.
Arguably more important than this is the speed of the website. Statistically, 50% of users close a website if it does not load within 2 seconds.
It should have a clear layout to make it easier for the user to navigate.
We prioritise this and more when we create our websites. Our packages come with many high quality additionals included as standard.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
What is your budget for the project?
What is your timeline for completion of this project?
Do you have any existing ideas or inspiration that we can use?
Do you have any existing branding that we can implement in to the project?
Do you know what you definitely do not want for your project?
Can you provide any imagery or text before we start the project?
What do you love most about your job?
Where do we start? Well, my name is Tom. I'm 26 and I'm the Director of Reason8. I've worked in Marketing for years and, up until December 2020, I was a Computer Science Teacher that was working 50+ hour weeks at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as trying to earn money on the side from my marketing knowledge.
I decided enough was enough. My happiness, my family's happiness, and my sanity was worth more, so I left the profession that I've loved for the last 3 years. I took the plunge and started Reason8 Digital Marketing, which was actually an idea I had back in 2018.
I've never looked back, and I'm so glad I did. In the short time we've been in operation, I've met people from all walks of life, different industries, whacky ideas and had a great time.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I've never felt comfortable in a job, working for someone else. I've never known why, maybe it's an ego thing? Who knows, but I've always been business-minded.
I worry I'm about to sound like someone trying to hype themselves up on The Apprentice - I'll try my best not to.
When I was 8, I got a new pool table for Christmas. Rather than playing on it, I tried to rent it out to people on my street, in my garage. I made the flyers, printed them, cut them out and was ready to go and hand them out. Thankfully, even though I didn't agree at the time, my Mum stopped me.
I then graduated with a First Class Honours Degree in Business and Marketing, ending up working for a range of companies, from blue-chips to SMEs. I gained a wealth of experience, but I just felt I could do this for myself, and even better. I couldn't let my true creativity flow - it was always stopped by someone who didn't understand.
I took the plunge and started my own company, employing a Graphic Designer, UX Designer and Web Designer along the way. As I write this, this is the end of our 7th week, and I've loved every minute. I already feel fortunate to be in this position, so I'm excited to see how we can grow and what we can do in 7 months, 7 years - 7 decades?
Why should our clients choose you?
I'm not going to try and sell to you. That's not my style. Our clients choose us for that personal touch, work ethic and personal touch. We put you at the heart of everything we do and every decision we make. Every process we undertake for your project is transparent. We want to build relationships, not a bank account. We want to learn about you, your story, your business, and we'd love nothing more than to help it grow. There's nothing more rewarding.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
We started during the COVID-19 pandemic, so we're certainly no stranger to providing remote solutions. We're always ready to jump on a Zoom call, Google Meeting or just a phone call. We want to speak to you and answer any questions you may have.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
Well, we started during COVID-19 (national lockdown), so we've just had to be ourselves and work from home - we've loved it!
