We had a new website built to showcase the business and enable some online trading. Ruairi … understood exactly what we needed and built a website that works very well and one that we are really proud to have. He was always quick to respond to changes and ideas and was a pleasure to work with. We have already noticed new customers and more business as a direct result of the website.
Highly recommend Ruairi's services. He's extremely receptive to client needs and very responsive throughout the website development process. Working with Ruairi was an educational experience for me in terms of web development. He guided our team through the iterations, explaining the rationale behind the various mechanisms available to us, and gave his professional opinion on what to implement.
