I've worked with Irun for about 8 years now and you always get a personal service. I've worked with other companies before, but I know with Irun that, no matter how I put it across in layman's terms, they get it; Andrew is there to take my language and communicate it with the developers in their terms to get it all done. Irun have given us the website that we had initially planned out in our heads, and then some. The timescale was really stretched out, so the fact that they waited on me for almost 2 years while we sorted out what we wanted and made changes, the patience and complete respect of them putting their work on the line for 2 years while we sorted what we wanted, and then to pick it up and then just charge with it at the end (and I understand it was a bit of a hard push at the end there to get it all done) has been really really good. There's a lot of things where I've said "This is what we need" and they've come back to say "OK, we've talked about it and what do you think of this site that does this?" They've then gone away and found a way to make it work on our site. They understood that I can't get my head around something until I've seen it working on another site, and they've found a way to do that for me. Unless you've got the capacity to imagine what you're capable of doing then you don't know. We're part of a buying group and there's been a few people who are trying to drag themselves into this century and I always point them to Irun.

Irun have been really helpful. They've helped me to understand the site better than I did previously. I had an existing site and they've really revamped it for me . It existed but it wasn't doing anything so they've built it up and revamped. It's incorporated the opportunity to include my business partner. We've expanded the content and layout, it's much easier to navigate. What they did was basically analyse where it was gave examples as to how others were doing it, and from that we've increased the content of it quite enormously on this project. I did use a previous website developer to set it up where pretty much I had to do all of the content without much knowledge of websites; from that perspective what I had was an online brochure that did nothing, so I felt I'd created my online presence, which was important, but I had something that was worthless as a marketing tool. Working with Dan and the team I now have something which is functional and reaches out to the clients. Irun helped me rather than it being driven by me and left to me to upload all the information, and update the website; I don't necessarily have the ideas to go with it, so it was a proper service that Irun provided to help me to make use of the website. Everything we've worked on has been very clear

IRUN understand what you want and take care to make sure that they listen so that you get what you want. I have been using them for quite some time. My company has been in existence for 16 years and I've been using IRUN for half of that. They built the website all that time ago and gave me training on how to use it so I can keep it updated as you are able to access the back end yourself to make changes and keep it up to date. It's the only piece of proper marketing that we actually do. Before it was a bit clunky; It was built in 2007 so it was a bit dated, but IRUN have changed the font around and the landing page so it now seems a lot fresher and newer. It's less clunky to use. There's nothing majorly different than it was before but what they've done is get it onto a much cleaner, more modern site. I did use some others in the past but these guys are 100% better and I also find them very good value for money. When they quote for the business it's always very competitive and worth what they're going to do. It's not a case of 'is that all I got for 3K?!?'. What they say they're going to do is actually worth what the price, that's what I like about it. Daniel ran the project and got it done pretty quickly. They did it in two phases. One was a consolidation type thing to make it look better and hand holds and things like that, and the other was design. Both those phases were handled really quickly. It doesn't matter who I speak to there, they're always quick to help and if they can't deal with it they get somebody who can. They've done everything that I would expect of them. What they do is excellent so probably best to stick at what they do well. One of the things that Daniel did was to tell me to avoid the companies that say they can get you to the top of Google instantly. He explained it all to me, and said he could direct me to someone who could do that sort of work, but did I need it? cont.

The first time I'd used them and they were recommended by one of my colleagues. They were extremely succinct in being able to get to where we needed to be and deliver against what we expected. The primary objective was to revamp a website which was a first draft just to get it out there. What IRUN have been doing is providing something which, I think, is closer to the message we want to be delivering to the market, and easier to navigate. We are planning to use them in subsequent web development. They're faster to respond than other web developers we've used in the past; Others have been slower and less cooperative.

IRUN are very easy to deal with. I wanted specifically to update our website. We've been using them for 15 years now. We moved to IRUN because we didn't like our previous web developer. IRUN are a lot more helpful, flexible and responsive.

IRUN were efficient and were able to assist us to achieve quite a demanding deadline. The website looks good. It's early days as yet but we're totally impressed with the look of it. They certainly exceeded our previous experiences with other web developers.

IRUN are approachable. I tend to be able to get hold of the same person each time so it's a personal service. It's given us a website which we didn't have before which benefits the business. In terms of dealing with IRUN it was really quite easy and they were very helpful.

What stands out? Daniel Plowright! It's just The personal attention and the time Daniel has spent learning our business. I don't have to teach every time I go to Daniel, he already knows what I'm talking about. Everything is fine. I've actually got 3 websites that IRUN have built and they're all good.

I think it's the ability to just pick up the phone that stands out; So recently we were thinking of updating our website and asked "what would be involved in that? Can you come and do a presentation on some of the new products?" which they did. We talked through what would be the best options for us. As a charity they understand that we're looking for minimum spend. Then when Daniel came over to talk to us about our requirements we went through what we'd love to have vs what we need to have and they adjusted the content of the website accordingly. The website is good. I think we had a couple of discrepancies around tablet devices and mobile phones in terms of how it displayed on different models which we fed back to IRUN and they sorted really quickly. They certainly met what we expected of them in terms of upgrading our website and we'll definitely go back to them in the future if we need anything adding to the site.

I like how available IRUN are. They're based in my building which means that I can go and visit them whenever I need to. Whenever there's a question and they're all super responsive and happy to help. I can just knock on the door and say hello. When I have an idea they really embrace it and come up with an idea at a budget that's acceptable to us. I get excellent customer service and I'm very happy to recommend them to my clients. I think they're very thorough and I think the communication is always very good. I'm delighted with the way that the website looks and how it performs. It's already been through several iterations and we're making changes to it all the time. When we consider what we had previously I think it works very well. The analytics are showing that people find it quite sticky as well as they're spending around 5 minutes on the site and looking at multiple pages. We've even had a customer use the contact form on the site to book a specific room without ever having come to see the us,

Always been very receptive and helpful and good at hosting

IRUN deliver the perfect service with excellent value for money and Daniel is A1.

You do get value for money.

I enjoy the personnel service speaking to the same person is really helpful.

Brilliant service Dan has is an excellent communicator offers excellent value for money, IRUN have taught me so much they are brilliant.

Someone actually answers the phone

The flexibility is what stood out. Almost any request that we wanted could be dealt with.

IRUN seemed informed about the areas of the market that I was interested in and were personally quite attentive to the needs of my business. Daniel in particular spent a bit of time listening and going through what my company's needs were. When issues did come up I thought the support was helpful.

The positive can-do attitude is what stood out.

I think it was just the personal contact with Daniel; the fact that he came out to see us and worked with us on a one to one basis.
