What a service! I would 100% recommend Paul and the team at Surgery Creations. Thank you, Paul, even on the tightest deadline you delivered.

Surgey Creations have been fantastic to work with- we've used them for several years and have no plans to change! They're friendly, acommodating and very efficient- even when we've had to change the design at the last moment. The quality is superb- as is the cost! Highly recommended. More...

Before becoming editor of The Journalist I worked on The Times and the Financial Times for 20 years and met many top class journalists and media professionals. Without doubt David Woods is one of the most professional, creative, meticulous and dedicated people I have ever worked with. When I became editor eight years ago I felt the magazine was badly in need of a redesign so that it could be an attractive, professional publication that the NUJ could be proud of. I think he achieved just that and continues to deliver the highest of standards every issue. I feel lucky that we found him and that we have been able to work together for so long.Christine Buckley, editor of The Journalist More...

Surgery Creations is quick, compliant, creative, helpful and affordable. In fact, if it really was a surgery, it would be a crown jewel of the NHS. Much of that is thanks to its founder, David Woods, who is pragmatic and attentive (and a nice guy). I worked with him on two projects with very tight deadlines – and he delivered exceptional results on both occasions. More...

What makes a great website?
1. User-Centric Design
• Intuitive Navigation: The site should be easy to navigate with a clear structure, so users can find what they're looking for quickly. Menus, buttons, and links should be organized logically.
• Responsive Design: The website must be optimized for all devices, including desktops, tablets, and smartphones, ensuring a consistent and pleasant user experience across platforms.
2. Fast Loading Speed
• Optimized Content: Images, videos, and other media should be compressed and optimized for the web to ensure fast loading times. Slow websites can frustrate users and increase bounce rates.
• Efficient Code: Using clean, efficient code and minimizing the use of heavy scripts and plugins can significantly improve loading speeds.
3. Compelling Content
• High-Quality Writing and Visuals: Content should be clear, engaging, and relevant to the audience. This includes not only text but also images, videos, and infographics that enrich the user experience.
• Regular Updates: A great website frequently updates its content to remain relevant and keep users coming back. This could include blog posts, news updates, or product listings.
4. Strong Call-to-Actions (CTAs)
• Clear and Persuasive CTAs: Every page should have a clear purpose, guiding users towards taking specific actions like signing up, making a purchase, or contacting for more information.
• Strategic Placement: CTAs should be placed strategically throughout the site, where users are most likely to interact with them, without being intrusive.
5. Security and Trustworthiness
• SSL Certification: A secure website with HTTPS encryption is essential for protecting user data and establishing trust.
• Transparent Policies: Clear privacy policies, terms of service, and contact information help build credibility and reassure users that their data is safe.
Focusing on these elements can significantly improve the quality of a website, making it more engaging, reliable, and effective in achieving its goals.
