“Having had a couple of websites in the past that I wasn’t happy with, I knew Helen had the knowledge and understanding of my business to create the kind of website I really wanted. She was very thorough in talking through what could be achieved within my budget.
The new website, has surpassed all expectations and is one I am now proud to promote. It is very easy to change the text and images myself, although I know Helen is always ready to help when needed. She is lovely to work with and the whole process was easy from beginning to end. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.”

“We are all really pleased with our new Research Stories website and have had some really positive feedback from clients and colleagues. It is much more professional now, as well as having a ‘friendly’ feel to it. The navigation and sections are very clear and the layout is easy to follow and engaging. Overall, we felt you understood our brief very well, and worked well with us all. It was good that you were able to come in and meet us and address our somewhat confusing agenda.
All in all we are delighted. Thank you for your patience and making the whole process so straightforward and taking us through it.”

Research Stories
“It’s always fun working with Kite Web Design. The shop window of any business is vital for first impressions and we know we can rely on Kite for excellent suggestions on visual impact and general guidance. They have steered our website design and management for a number of years and when we were planning our recent website refresh, we were more confident in what we wanted and how to achieve it. Kite took both our better developed and our more embryonic ideas and with a seemingly effortless wave of their magic wand, turned them into a sparkling shop window but crucially also into one that is well thought through and easy to manage at all levels.
We’re really delighted with the site and have already had some lovely positive feedback.”

“I had put off re-doing my website for ages – worried that it would be time consuming, expensive and probably make me feel stupid for not understanding technology.
With Helen I need not have worried. She has a very pragmatic approach and explains everything in a way the educated layman can understand. She took time and care to really understand what I needed and gave me plenty of options whilst also keeping things manageable and in budget.
I’m delighted with the end result – and would recommend Helen wholeheartedly.”

Murielle Carrasco

“I couldn’t recommend Kite Web Design more highly. I had a basic idea for the overall look of my website and Helen worked tirelessly to interpret what I was trying to achieve. Nothing was too much trouble and Helen sourced endless logo designs, suggesting various interpretations and clever ways of using shapes and colours. She also designed my business card! Helen has endless patience and initiative, and offers the combined skills of technical know-how plus an excellent design eye. You also get a a very personal service, constant feedback and the knowledge that KWD is a company which really cares about what they are doing and what you are trying to achieve. Fantastic!”

“Helen really acted as a partner for me on my journey of setting up a website that reflected the brand I wanted to create. Technically she knows what she’s doing but it what was really impressive is how she took the time to understand me, and then come up with ideas and solutions that matched that. That was most important to me and I really felt like I was in a partnership as opposed to working with a ‘supplier’. She’s very engaging and easy to work with and flexible too. I would highly recommend her!”

“I engaged Helen to create a new mobile responsive website which carried across my brand values and ethics for the yoga studio I run. My particular concerns were – creating an accurate and fresh reflection of an existing brand; managing time and input against a hard deadline; and keeping the process fun! Helen listened carefully and used her expert project management skills to ensure that at any given point I was absolutely clear what the next step was and where I was in the overall programme of work. She was adaptable, friendly and collaborative in her approach. She made sure I considered technical and design questions carefully, and carried out as much work behind the scenes as possible so we could keep our meetings clear and focused on essential decisions. I felt confident throughout that we would make the deadline, and we did. It has been a pleasure to work with Helen over the three or four months we’ve taken to completely refresh and revitalise the studio’s online presence. And we had a lot of fun doing it.”
