Client Testimonials

“Richard has not only redesigned our website, but has managed to unravel technical issues quickly and effectively. His ability to combine user experience with design is invaluable.”

Kirsty Sumerling

“We were extremely impressed with not only Richard’s technical expertise but his creativity and thoughtfulness. The project was seamless from start to finish and Richard included us in the whole process.”

John Dixon

“The fact that our new website matches the ambitions we set ourselves is in no small part due to Richard’s work. I cannot imagine having navigated the complexity of the task without him.”

Graeme Rigby

“…not only comprehensive expertise in the mechanics of web-design but also a real aesthetic flair and a thorough knowledge of the relevant marketing fundamentals.”

Callum Fisken

“Richard’s long-running hosting and support contract with VOCAL has been invaluable to us. His expertise in WordPress and his diligence ensure that our websites are maintained securely, with the latest patches and upgrades applied seamlessly behind the scenes. Any technical issues that we run into are always handled swiftly, effectively and personably.”

Seb Fischer

“Tasked with designing us not just one but two brand new websites to a tight schedule, Richard delivered them well on time with consummate skill, creativity and professionalism.”

Toby Hawks

“The support from Control X is very consistent: consistency in its efficiency and fairness in terms of price, but above all in terms of his friendly and diligent service. We had our company website built and hosted by Richard, which served us well for a range of public-facing projects. Highly recommended.”
