Fantastic testimonials from our social media and SEO workshops

Since holding our very first search engine optimisation and social media workshops last week, we’ve been thrilled to receive some fantastic testimonials from those who attended.

“Thanks very much for the information I gathered at the social media review last week, I must say I came along with the usual reservations that you have about whether the whole thing might be very ‘techy and geekified’ and not relevant to our market, but it was brilliant.

Excellent practical advice that was superbly delivered and will be a benefit to me in my day to day work. I really got a great amount out of the day. The training was excellent; I would highly recommend Seven Creative to others.

The SEO and social media review was informative and most importantly relevant, with plenty of information given. Any business that did not take you up on this fantastic social media review is really missing a trick, now all I have to do is get off my backside and put your wonderful advice into action!”

Brain Drury, Blue Funk Hypnosis

“Thankyou for inviting me along to one your internet marketing seminars, it was very enjoyable and informative, and done in such an informal way that I’m sure put everyone who attended at ease, whether computer literate or not.

After listening to your team it soon became apparent, not only how much opportunity social media can offer companies in gaining new business, but also how well Seven Creative understands these markets and how to use them to your clients’ advantage.

I would recommend anyone to take advantage of your future workshops, as it won’t cost them anything to do so and will surely help them understand where social media fits into business and how it can help them drive more traffic towards their business.”

Simon Platt, Utility Warehouse Authorised Distributer

SEO and Social Media workshop success for Seven Creative!

Thursday 7^th February marked an important date in the Seven Creative calendar. We held our very first search engine optimisation and social media workshops at The Workstation in Sheffield!

It was a pleasure to help lots of new people and some familiar faces get to grips with Search Engine Optimisation and Social Media. With a full day of 30 minute slots, we certainly had our work cut out for us!

The staff at Seven Creative spent the day helping local business people learn more about using the internet to boost their businesses. We are proud to say that the event was a huge success and we’ve received some very positive feedback.

Simon Platt, a utility broker from Sheffield, said “It’s not often you get any kind of advise nowadays without having to delve deep! I really liked their approach.”

Karen Bird of Kurly Bird Event Management attended the workshop with her sister Sarah Green from Fable, the Sheffield based Epilepsy charity. Karen said, “Both Sarah and I came away with lots of ideas and found the time really productive.”

Among the many visitors that dropped in throughout the day was Daryl Williams, founder of GlassBox Photography. Daryl said, “It was a really helpful session. I’ve come away with plenty to think about and the skills to be able to make changes to my website to win the war against Google!”

We were really kept on our toes as a wide variety of different businesses came through the door. Joy Harrison of Murphy’s, a company specialising in natural products made from essential oils and herbs for horses and riders, filled our last slot of the day. Joy said “It was so nice to be pointed in the right direction. I love working on my website and teaching myself marketing, but it sometimes feel like it’s an awful lot to do. I really appreciate Seven Creative’s help!”

We will be holding regular workshops throughout the year on a variety of topics including search engine optimisation, social media and blogging, and will keep you posted regarding dates and times here on the blog, our Facebook page and via our email newsletters. We also offer social media management packages and SEO packages, which are perfect for those who don’t have the time to do it themselves.

GBW Landscaping – testimonial

Guy Williams of GBW Landscaping runs a successful landscape gardening and garden maintenance business in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire. The family run business offers anything from a little help in the garden, to complete garden redesign and landscaping services.

Seven Creative have had the pleasure of working with Guy over the last couple of months to create his new website, and he’s been kind enough to share his thoughts about the work we’ve done for him.

“I contacted Seven Creative on the recommendation of a friend. Within a couple of days Chris had emailed me with a contract, it was very good and she was very efficient. I changed my mind about a few things and Chris kindly rewrote sections to accommodate me without fuss.

I’m really happy with the way they built the website. Chris designed it for me perfectly and was very efficient and always friendly. I really liked the way they both listened to what I wanted and didn’t force me into anything; they met my needs really well. Although the website has only been completed very recently, I have no doubt that in the long term my business will benefit from it.

They are excellent at the design side of things too, and if I ever need anything doing in the future I won’t hesitate to contact them. I’d be foolish to go anywhere else! I really couldn’t recommend them enough. They were very professional, very efficient, and they gave me a very reasonable price.”

Dunston Lodge/Resourceful Research Testimonial

I just wanted to put into writing how grateful I am to yourself and Chris for all the work you’ve done for us over the last year or so.

Since creating our Dunston Lodge website, you’ve gone on to create our business cards, bone magnets, leaflets and also the design for our cotton bags. Each of these now look consistent, fresh and are a great reflection of the image we want to portray as a business.

On each occasion the service, the finished articles, as well as the ongoing support have all been first class. The work has been very reasonably priced for the professional designs we have received. You have been very flexible and thorough; taking on board our suggestions, but also advising us well when things we’ve thought of won’t work in practice, and going out of your way to see each job through.

More recently you have also designed a website for another business I’m connected with; Resourceful Research. Once again, you’ve been patient, professional and flexible, with the end result a fantastic looking website which I am proud to show off to prospective clients.

I’m sure we’ll be making further use of your services again soon, as our business develops, and will have no hesitation in recommending you to others.

“We have had nothing but good feedback for our website created by Seven Creative.

Chris greatly assisted us in the design, colour scheme and layout of the website and kept in close contact with us throughout the process.

They created exactly what we were looking for with very little input from us. Since then, if we have had any IT related problems, a quick phone call is all that was needed to get it solved.

“We would definitely recommend Seven Creative for web creation and publicity”

We worked closely with Ken creating many different styles and variations of logo and colour scheme before building the website.

What Kenneth Hudson said about working with us

“An existing client of Seven Creative, “Penny Bruce” of “Denton Drapes” recommended that I use Seven Creative to design a website and logo for my business.

Chris was extremely quick in designing several logos that he thought would compliment my interiors business.

Chris promptly made any alterations that where necessary. He also went on to design letter-heads and business cards. Needless to say, we are more than pleased with the end results.

After many conversations with Chris about the design of my site, I was very impressed with her knowledge. It was great to know that when I had sent her my content and images , Chris would produce a professional and contemporary looking website.

Having worked with Chris , I would have no hesitation in recommending Seven Creative. In fact, I have done so already!

Many thanks for all your hard work.” – Kenneth Hudson, Kenneth Hudson Interiors Ltd

Jewellery is designed to be comfortable and wearable. It’s elegant use of pattern and subtle combination of colour, together with its playful quality appeals to a range of people within our integrated world; the chic, the stylish, the playful, the subtle and the visual.

About Janet Wass’ new website

Janet initially approached us in despair for some advice has her ‘web developer’ hadn’t done what they said they would do and she was left with an ineffective and non-functional website.

From our experience, this is quite a common story, however, this didn’t change the fact that she had ended up with a site that was effectively useless so we rebuilt it providing her with a well search-engine-optimised website that allows her to edit and update every part of her website.

Here’s what she said about working with us

“I approached Seven Creative after I experienced difficulties with my existing website. Chris offered fantastic help and advice – going above and beyond what I would ever have expected. Because of this, I decided that I would have my website rebuilt by them.

I can honestly say that it was a decision I have never regretted – I now have a website that I looks completely professional, that is easy to navigate around, and that I can completely content manage myself. I am absolutely thrilled with it!

Chris is completely professional and obviously works extremely hard to produce websites that are tailored to the clients’ needs. I am so impressed with the speed they created my website and how approachable and understanding they were. They fully explained technical issues in a way that I could understand and responded instantly to my requests for modifications – actually, I saw the site change whilst I was on the phone making the requests – that really is great service!

I am now really proud of my website and have Seven Creative to thank for this – I think it goes without saying that I would wholeheartedly recommend their service!” – Janet Wass, 2010
