Cant thank these guys enough. Using there fully interactive platform they have put together my holding page for my business.
A few phone calls and emails, and within a few days they put it altogether. Exactly as I wanted......brilliant!!!
And now having played around with the Sketchanet Platform I am able to add to my website as easily as if I was putting a PowerPoint together!

Sketchanet have been hosting my website efficiently for many years now. We updated, redesigned, and relaunched the website this year and I am grateful for all the advice on layout, colour, design and help whilst I learned the software. I have access to my site at any time which is a real bonus (no hanging around for a someone else to make changes), and if there are any glitches or if there is anything I cannot do Drystan is on hand to help. Thank you Sketchanet - I am SO proud of my website - and it is driving more traffic to my business too. More...

As a graphics and marketing specialist I work with clients to produce creative solutions and have routinely passed web development over, viewing it as a technical task that is outside of my area of expertise. It’s at this stage that I lose an element of control of the design and copy, and I don’t benefit from any residual income that can be gained from managing a website. I have recently started putting together a couple of websites using the Sketchanet platform and have found it to be an absolute pleasure to use. The tools are intuitive to those people that are familiar with graphics packages and email marketing tools. And if there is ever something I’m not sure about, Sketchanet provide some fab little videos that quickly and clearly explain how to resolve a problem. I am now in a position to produce some beautiful websites for my clients, editing text and pictures as I go, rather than having the lengthly process of consulting with a web developer. And I can easily manage my client's sites over time as their requirements change. I would highly recommend Sketchanet to Graphic Designers and Marketers who want to give their clients a complete service, and maximise their income. More...

Drystan and his team have provided a great experience from the beginning until the launch of our brand new website. They have taken our vision and direction to another level using their expertise to create a professional website that is fresh, informative, practical and easy to navigate. Not only are we delighted with the outcome of the website, we are also very impressed with Sketchanet for their efficient editing software which allows us to keep our website up to date and easily make any amendments as well as being at hand to assist us along the way. Thank you for working with us so well and of course the end result. Donna & Michael Osman at Oyster Financial Planning Ltd More...

We've worked with the Sketchanet team for over three years now and are continuously impressed with their dedication, skill and friendly support. When we launched the Official Sherlock Escape room we knew there was no-one better suited to help us create a premium website with the creative flourishes to reflect our brand. Couldn't recommend them more. More...

We enjoyed a good relationship with the team and found them very helpful. The most important thing for us was that we were not 'left alone' we really did need some hand holding

We really like working with Sketchanet, their professionalism and attention to details are outstanding.
What makes a great website?
Above all else, the most important thing is balance. Balance of content and empty space. The human eye can only take in a certain amount of information at once, and in the context of a website, that is restricted even further because attention spans on the web are short.
Next up is colour palette, contrast, fonts and graphics. Colour conveys an atmosphere, and broadcasts unconscious messages to the visitor. A well chosen colour palette can completely transform a website. Text needs to be clear and legible, but the choice of font also conveys a feeling.
Visual interest is crucial. A web page made up of just text will struggle to hold attention. Graphics, photos, video - these are all important features but again we come back to balance. We don't want too much visual stimulation, rather we want to direct the eye where we want it to go.
