| From Christine Baldwin, Summit Spring Holistic Health Center (Maine, USA)
Working with Tracey has been a delight. She has been very clear as she guided us through the process of creating a new website. Her knowledge was always clear and informative. It is with deep gratitude that we thank Tracey… |
Les Baillon, Owner of cycling clothing provider www.veloactive.co.uk
“After a fifteen minute conversation on the phone with Tracey Rissik, I knew I was talking to the right person. I sent her a brief of what I was hoping to achieve on a website with a shop and when I wanted it finished. The next day she sent me a detailed quote setting out the different elements of the project with the various options and prices. Tracey started the project exactly when agreed and built the site step by step with comprehensive explanations of what she was doing and why. We discussed progress regularly. She also provided me with excellent contacts for legal advice and copy writing; and prompted me in areas I had overlooked, making sure that we stayed on track and met the agreed deadline for completion. In addition to building a site I am very happy with, Tracey also provided Skype training (supported by videos for future reference) on how to update and maintain the site. I have no hesitation in recommending Tracey to build a great website for your small business.”

| Video: Nette Hargeaves of NetteHargreaves.com loved the makeover I did for her blog:
From Rebecca Perkins, who coaches women in transition via RebPerkins.com “I had been writing a blog for a number of years and had wanted to develop it further to make it a fully workable website where people could get access to my work as a coach. This was not something I cared to learn to do myself, I wanted to focus on my writing and to be honest I’m a bit of a technophobe! I was introduced to Tracey and after a long phone conversation I decided to go ahead. Tracey understood what I was looking for, she spoke in plain English, she held my hand through the whole process making it a pleasure. She outlined each step clearly, what was required from me and how to go about doing it. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble for her, even my regular questions. We had skype tutorials (which were recorded – genius idea) so that I can now learn and go back over information in my time. Tracey made the launching of my new website an exciting time for me.” Rebecca Perkins |
Sacha Anthony, The Marketing Whisperer
“Tracey is incredibly professional and thorough. I felt in very safe hands when she did my site for me. She always spoke in plain, jargon-free English and provided lots of support throughout the process. She was quick to get the work done and I’m so happy with the results. I would totally recommend Tracey to anyone looking to get a website done, it is well-worth the investment’. Sarah Foster, Executive Coach, “Loaf and Learn” www.loafandlearn.com “I had been blogging for a while but I wanted something that was more appealing, easier to find, looked good on mobile and backed up the notion of refreshment. Tracey provided exactly what I needed. Her professional approach right from my initial enquiry, through to agreeing the scope of the project and delivery was reassuring. She delivered very quickly too and took time to explain and discuss along the way. It was a pleasure working with her and I am certain that I will do again in the future” Click on thumbnail to see Before & After

“Tracey created and designed two new websites for me this summer. Tracey has a clear and concise approach. Through out the project she kept the momentum going, ensured developments ran smoothly and at all times ‘did what she said’ in a timely manner! I found the explanation videos and support manuals she provided particularly helpful.” |

Angelique Michaels, nutrition writer, www.EverythingGood.co.uk
“One of the most difficult decisions when embarking on a business website, is finding the right person to build it. With Tracey, it was simple! Within the first minute of our conversation, I knew she was the perfect candidate. Her warm and friendly approach make you feel at ease, it’s as if she were in the room guiding you through the process. The tutorials and conversations are carried out online or over the phone, allowing you the flexibility to work around a busy schedule and helps speed up the process. Tracey is clearly passionate about her business and what impressed me was her ability to explain the ‘techie bits’ in an eloquent an ‘easy to understand’ manner, unlike most web site designers who leave you feeling confused with all the technical jargon. Her online tutorial is simple to follow and her manual a great source of information. It’s clearly written and a brilliant reference when maintaining your site. I will definitely enlist Tracey’s help for any future website enhancements and it’s comforting to know that she’s only a phone call away…..”Angelique, www.EverythingGood.co.uk |

Tony Brooks of Building Bridges Development Services and The Presentation Club
“I have worked with the Simple Web Company and Tracey Rissik on 2 websites for my business to date and have found the whole experience extremely satisfying. Tracey takes the time to clearly understand what you are trying to achieve, both in terms of appearance and functionality and delivers the highest quality product with the highest level of service. Tracey also educates on how to update and maintain the WordPress websites via very comprehensive instructions and video tutorials. This helps enormously in making changes further down the line. I have had excellent feedback on both my websites – www.bb-ds.co.uk and www.thepresentationclub.comand I believe they both now match the level of professionalism I look to bring to my clients and display both businesses in the strongest light. I cannot thank Tracey enough for all her hard work, patience and the highest quality of service” Tony Brooks, Director, Building Bridges Development Services Ltd. |
| Relationship Coaching with Candy Jannetta of HowToMeetYourPerfectMatch.com
Tracey is the best web developer that I have worked with and I’ve worked with quite a few over the past 10 years. She offers real value for money but what makes her really stand out is the value added consultancy she gives. She has a wealth of knowledge about WordPress and Search engine optimization and shared useful tips with me while building my website. The other thing that makes Tracey exceptional is her attention to detail, she takes care of all the details and is thorough in everything she does. Once my website was live Tracey included an hour tutorial in the price of building my website to show me everything I needed to be able to update my site myself. She also provided 5 video tutorials especially made for me about updating my site which I can refer back to again and again. I cannot recommend Tracey highly enough and have had excellent feedback from clients about my site since she updated it. Thank you again Tracey.Candy Jannetta, Relationship Coach, www.howtomeetyourperfectmatch.com Before & after images: |

| Tony Brooks, founder of The Presentation Club:
“I recently developed a new website for a new business venture (www.thepresentationclub.com) with The Simple Web Company. I found the whole experience a thoroughly positive one from start to finish. Tracey Rissik from The Simple Web Company worked hard up front to ensure she captured both the requirements but also how the website should look and feel in terms of branding. Not only did the whole process go really smoothly, but Tracey worked hard to ensure the end result was right for my needs. The package is excellent value, providing a content managed site at superb value. I also have a range of documentation and video clips as part of the support package, that makes it easy to go back and make any changes or additions as necessary. I rate the services provided by The Simple Web Company very highly and would recommend them to all business users” - Tony Brooks, Building Bridges Development Services Ltd.-

Gillian Fox, Copywriter
“Tracey is a joy to work with – she immediately grasped the concept of my website, and in fact my reaction to her first draft was “I love it”! She is professional, and patient when dealing with a relative newbie to the business of internet marketing. She does what she says she will do, when she says she will do it. Within 4 days I had a website of my choice up and running, and over the next 2 weeks I worked with Tracey to improve and add to its content. We completed the hour’s telephone training module, which, together with her easy to understand manual has meant that I can now edit and expand the original website content to maximise its potential and keep the information up to date. I have no hesitation in recommending the Simple Web Company to anyone who wants technical and personal support in building a website, which they will then be able to manage for themselves.”

Kisane Slaney PhD – drkisane.com
I count myself extremely fortunate to have had Tracey to take me through the process of launching my WordPress Thesis blog. The fact that Tracey is in the UK and I live in Australia was irrelevant! Tracey responded immediately to every email, always with patience and understanding.Tracey also has a brilliant strategy to bring clarity to any tricky problem or confusing ‘happening’ – namely, short little videos she emails, where she demonstrates the solution or clarifies what is going on. They were so helpful and reassuring. Just hearing her calm voice was enough to bring the stress levels right down!Tracey completed all the technical tasks required to transform my mental image of how I wanted my blog to be, into the online reality. I am absolutely thrilled with the final result. She also provides a Manual and follow-up support.If you are a perfectionist like me, then I cannot recommend Tracey and her professionalism highly enough. I am one very happy client! |

I can’t recommend her enough!”

Nicola Markham-David, Dream Social
“‘Tracey Rissik at The Simple Web Company was a real find for me. She totally understood the look, approach and perspective I was going for, and brought my ideas to life, despite my complete lack of technological know-how. Tracey was equally excited about my vision and worked through all the different stages painstaikingly, breaking every stage down for me into manageable chunks given as homework / checklists. She also recommended me to a great graphic designer, Katherine McAdam of Brand Magic. I am thrilled with my new website, www.dream-social.com, and everyone who sees it is equally impressed.” |

A huge thank you to The Simple Web Company for the fantastic work and effort in producing a website which has exceeded all my expectations! Tracey is a patient, caring and dedicated professional who is totally committed to her client’s success. As a hopeless technophobe the whole process seemed very daunting and I could never have imagined that the design & construction of my website could be achieved in such a seamless, uncomplicated and stress-free way! The Simple Web Company offers excellent value for money, a first class service and a fantastic result and I therefore have no hesitation in recommending them. I also look forward to having Tracey’s continued support in helping me maximise my company’s potential in the future. Dr Pam Evans, Will To Live Coaching Company |
Robert Johnston (Daniel Wagner’s Platinum Group): “Tracey has been very helpful. After doing ‘internet business’ full time for a month I had over 10 sites up – all on WordPress. Tracey was (and is) superb at explaining the ‘how to’ of SEO on WordPress, how to link in squeeze pages to your site and much more. Actually – change very helpful to ‘awesome!’ “ |

Thank you Tracey for all your help with giving my web site the professional look it needed. Guided by you I have installed additional plugins, one of which enabled me to create a “Guest Book” page, as well as space for people to leave comments on my blogs links to both Twitter and Facebook and a Paypal button.As she explains in great detail what I need to do I am able to take notes as we go along thus enabling me to do things in my own time. She is brilliant.Judith MacKay, Painting With Judith |
