CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS

"Hi Ian, I came along to your recent WordPress course and it exceeded my expectations. By the end of the day I had the confidence to go off and develop my own site, and some key pointers to make the site more effective.

Your course fit my needs to develop a brochure website very well."

Adam Park www.clearpathconsultancy.com

"Hi Ian, thank you for the ‘one to one’ Wordpress training at my office. As you know, I already had the website built for me in Wordpress but needed the knowledge to be able to confidently edit and update the site myself. I found the day I spent with you invaluable.

I learnt so much through your easy manner and relaxed delivery style. I got the benefit of your expert knowledge whilst being able to have hands on experience on my own site. You easily adapted your ‘usual’ course to meet my specific needs and I can now do everything I wanted to. As an added bonus your SEO tips have got me from no-where in Google to the first page.

You are an excellent trainer and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend your services."

Lisa Butler www.adheretraining.co.uk

"Thank you for the excellent course on Wednesday and for the subsequent free advice.

As you know I had been working with WordPress for a few months and already felt I knew the basics. However, your “beginners” course proved to be pitched at exactly the right level for me, and indeed for the other attendees. For everything that was familiar you explained something new and opened our eyes to the real potential of WordPress. Fired up with enthusiasm, I immediately added a contact form to my site and optimised it for search engines.

Please keep me posted on future courses."

Peter Silverman www.cleanhighways.co.uk

"I thoroughly enjoyed the course and I thought you were absolutely great. As the trainer and expert you are (despite you telling me you were neither!) I think your style is perfect and you are extremely knowledgeable, very clear, easy to follow and natural.

You were right about your passion for WordPress and that definitely shone through and inspired and motivated me. It is clear that you have a genuine desire to help people, and having been on lots of courses with all sorts of agendas, you were a breath of fresh air!"
