I needed a website creating for my Photoboth business, Vintage Photobooth Cumbria and was recommended Feel Design. James took my ideas, improved them and created a fantastic website in record time. James's after care support is first class and he always has time to make those all important tweaks to keep you high up on Google listings. Would highly recommend Feel Design, extremely professional and surprisingly affordable. More...

I approached Feel Design Limited upon the recommendation of a friend. I had some ideas about what I wanted my website to look like and had written the content; but I had been unable to design a logo which I felt represented the ethos of my counselling practice, nor was I quite certain of the visual branding. From the outset, James has been both very creative and offered me conistent alacrity in working collaboratively to achieve a website which I could feel proud of and provided an important marketing tool. When considering your marketing requirements, I would recommend talking to James, because I feel certain that he will honestly and knowledgably offer you a range of options which will not only meet, but exceed your expectations.

We have worked with Feel Design for many years and have found them to be very reliable, extremely helpful and cost effective. As a small charity, we are used to depending on freelance or small companies in areas where we do not have the resources. Working with James feels like he's part of the team and we would recommend Feel Design for their attention to detail, their ideas, and their ability to make good-looking, well-functioning and user-friendly websites.

James was recommended to me, he is absolutely brilliant. He has exceptional technical knowledge and explains things so you also understand. His design of my website was quick and efficient. He understood the brief totally and produced exactly what I wanted. He even dealt with my old website designer and has been polite, friendly and professional throughout. I would highly recommend him!

James was prompt to contact me and keen to understand what we needed for our e-commerce website. He worked with us to build the site we needed and was always available to answer questions and make the process as easy and stress free as possible.
Since completing the website, James has still been on hand to offer support and help when needed and I would highly recommend Feeldesign if you are looking to build a website/e-commerce site for your business.

Web Design
Initially seemed very good but the outcome was generally poor. Appeared to outsource a lot of the work with poor results. The professional photos we requested were of a very poor standard and we ended up having to get them done elseware . Generally very distracted with a poor attention to detail resulting in us having to pick up on every detail (e.g. James seemed incapable of lining up the opening times in the footer so they were straight). The final website also has an incredibly low speed rating as it is chock full of unnecessary plug-ins which slow it down. We have moved to another provider at the first opportunity and will incur more costs to get the website up to standard. Overall an incredibly frustrating experience for what should be a simple e-commerce store More...

This is rather disappointing. The photography was based on Photoshopping the labels of all products onto the various containers, which was outsourced to get done on time and when it was decided they did not look realistic, was 50% refunded. No mention was made of speed issues until now, a few days after launch. The opening times I advised, for mobile sites etc to not put in a table etc, this seems to mainly stem from you not being able to get emails working and even when our hosts confirmed from logs that you were inputting the passord incorrectly, and mailed you, you denied this, and moved them back, breaking your site in the process until I sorted the DNS. Then, after having told me you were totally happy, at the end of the project and would just be adding photos, without any discussion, told us you were moving hosting, and then put this review up. It is a very disappointing end to things and not the way jobs go for us at all.

What makes a great website?
A great website gives your customers what they want, straight away, with no fiddling to find information. It loads quickly and is easy to manage and works on many platforms.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
Who are your clients?
What do you need the site to do for you, and for your clients?
Have you got text written?
Have you got photos?
Do you need ecommmerce?
Do you need search engine optimisation?
If you have a site already, what do you both like, and dislike about it?
What do you love most about your job?
Meeting so many different people, we've worked with everyone from The Archbishop of York, to Stephen Fry to Oasis as well as "ordinary" people, in so many different areas from builders, to hairdressers, from lords and ladies to teenagers starting up a business !!
What inspired you to start your own business?
I wanted to be in control and do a great job for people. I saw so many web design firms letting people down, over quoting and under delivering, and, in so many cases, not communicating properly. I set out to be better than them!
Why should our clients choose you?
We are honest, reliable, straight forward, speak in a direct way and won't bamboozle you with technical information and if we think something is a bad idea, we will say so, and conversely, if for example you have a logo and you are not sure but we think it's great, we won't sell you a new one just for the sake of it!!! We work quickly, efficiently and keep projects moving, something which surprises all our clients who have worked with other firms!!
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
We have worked remotely with most customers for 25 years, but, equally, when possible, the personal, face to face touch is very useful, although these days, Zoom, Teams etc give this without meeting physically.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
During Covid we worked remotely with everyone, and produced many online click and collect systems for our food and hospitality clients.
