Happy customers make me happy... 

“Clare is the most patient and professional designer; she really took time to understand what I wanted to achieve with my website and logo and, as well as incorporating my (many) requests, she made helpful suggestions to improve the flow and functionality and spotted several things I hadn’t considered.”

“After several failed attempts to get my website done, a friend recommended using Clare to create my site. Finally, I found someone who, beyond the look and feel of your site, engages with your business and it’s objectives and how your website will help you achieve this. Clare will offer constructive feedback and question decisions to ensure you have thought everything through and won’t have to spend more money later down the line making further changes. Clare will not only create your website but she ensures it’s a true reflection of you and your brand.”

“As WiBA is run by unpaid volunteers, I was initially concerned that the process of creating a new website would be too onerous for us to manage alongside our own full time jobs. Luckily Clare made the process easy and even enjoyable, working around our other work commitments but encouraging us to keep up the momentum throughout. Clare knows her stuff and it was amazing to have her on board to support us in making all of the key decisions regarding our branding and the finished product. We now have a website to be proud of and thanks to Clare’s ongoing support and face to face training, for the first time we are able to update our web pages ourselves, despite having little technical skills in this area. I would certainly recommend Clare to anyone looking for a creative and professional website design experience.”

“I had been looking for the right website designer to work with for a while when I came across a post from Clare on social media. She has made the whole process so easy on what had previously felt like a daunting task. I was always kept updated on the how things were going and the timeline of my site and Clare was so patient when I when finding the right content took time. I love the fact that I get training on how to manage my site and can still ask for help if needed. My new site looks fabulous and was an affordable price for a small business too. Great to work with you Clare, thank you.”

“Owl & Bear have been fantastic from start to finish in designing, developing and launching our website. As a new startup we really needed someone with the experience and knowledge to fulfil all our website needs, and to create something that showed our ethos as well as our products. Clare took time to meet with us and explain how each level of our website works, demonstrating a great understanding of our business and website needs. We will continue to use Owl and Bear to update our website as our business grows and website needs increase - we will always recommend Owl and Bear to other new startups.”

“For the first twelve years since founding Avalon Software we had a very good but now rather dated website and one which lacked sufficient flexibility for our future needs. Not only that but it was becoming expensive to maintain. Fortunately, we were introduced to Clare at Owl & Bear and from that point things began to improve considerably. Clare took the trouble to understand our odd little business and after several discussions came up with a proposal that demonstrated a much better understanding of our needs than any others we had approached.
This has proved to be a great decision for Avalon Software. We are utterly dependent on our website to promote both our old and new software systems. The new website is a joy to use, support is there when we need it – which is seldom – and we are happy to recommend Owl & Bear to any business thinking of investing in a new website.”

“We had the most amazing experience using Clare at Owl and Bear. What should have been a difficult time opening Fordmore Farm Shop with creating a brand, social media accounts and a fantastic website, Clare made simple, painless and fun. We were so pleased with the outcome we immediately asked her to work on one of our other businesses and she is currently doing the same for our business park. I would recommend and have recommended her to anyone that will listen. She is currently in talks with a family member helping him to launch his new business. Faultless in her approach with us as clients, and a beautiful website and brand.”

“We are a new business, and Clare was recommended to us by a friend to develop our new website for us. Being an architecture practice the design was very important to us; Clare understood that and worked closely with us to develop a website we are really pleased with. Her professional advice throughout the process was really valuable and we enjoyed working with her. When we suddenly had to bring forward the website launch earlier than planned, Clare jumped straight on it and made sure we met our deadline. We are really happy with what she has created for us, and have had some great feedback about it; we will definitely be using her services again as the practice grows.”

“We were recommended Clare and had no hesitation in choosing her to manage our website refresh. As well as being very personable and easy to work with, Clare seamlessly took us through the various options that would enable us to improve our website and company branding whilst retaining the key themes that were important to us. Clare made what is no doubt a fairly complex process look very easy and with minimal input needed from us. Clare is very responsive, extremely helpful and full of good ideas. Highly professional and a pleasure to work with, I cannot recommend her highly enough and only wish we had more websites for her to improve!”

“We needed to revamp our outdated website so asked Clare to create something fresh and engaging. She came up with a cleaner, more modern look that perfectly balanced the need to provide a lot of technical information in a way that was more intuitive and inviting to our scheme members. Clare was easy to work with and accommodated our many updates and changes as we got close to the launch, and made sure we had the skills to make our own updates in the future. We’re very happy with the results and will definitely use her services again.”

“When I chose Clare to design and build my website, the end result was never in question. I was assured from our initial meeting of her professionalism and capabilities to see the job through. Like anyone who excels at what they do, Clare made the whole process seem effortless. I cannot thank you enough for all your hard work and would happily recommend you to anyone.”

“I am a new business startup and was recommended to meet with Clare to discuss brand, logo design and website. My website is a key tool for business. Clare immediately understood what I was trying to achieve, I showed her various websites that I had researched and gave her the colour scheme and font style I liked and that was it. When Clare sent my logo design and draft website for review I was emotional, it was exactly what I had tried to describe and far surpassed my expectations. She had more than understood what I needed to achieve with my website. I cannot thank Clare enough for creating the perfect website and also her support as I launched my new business. I would not hesitate to recommend Clare.”

“As someone who is more comfortable with a hammer than a lap top I found Owl & Bear a pleasure to work with.
Clare met with me and was able to guide me through the process and has produced an amazing site. One that even I am comfortable to update.
I’d highly recommend Owl & Bear, it’s refreshing to work with someone with such enthusiasm.”

“Thanks again for a great session. I have been in plenty of this type of thing in my time and it was the best I have been involved in. Really great structure, elegantly delivered and our output and actions were clear and motivating.
We needed this and it was just the right timing, we both got a lot out of it.
Nice job and thanks again.”

“I can’t thank Clare enough for the time, patience and effort she put in to making of our site. She already came highly recommended but her work far exceeded our expectations. As a company working in the field of design it was fundamental that she understood and supported this through the look and feel of our web presence, we couldn’t be more pleased and will certainly be continuing to work with her. Thanks again Clare.”

“I needed to upgrade my website so I got in touch with Clare; she suggested it would be better to create a site from scratch and that was the best advice I could have been given. The easiest, painless, quick and professional experience of making a new website for a person who doesn’t have a clue about IT and technical stuff. I came with some ideas of how I would like my site to look and Clare did it all beyond my expectations. She sorted out all our problems with hosting and emails, contacted my on-line booking providers for set up details, and created links to my social media. I would highly recommend Clare to anyone who is looking for new or improved website at a competitive price.”

“From start to finish Clare was a delight to work with. At first it was extremely daunting to allow another business to essentially look after one’s baby. However after an initial consultation over the phone Clare quickly familiarised herself around the brand and concept. Communication was smooth and consistent throughout and Clare was extremely patient. Her work has been outstanding as she nailed the logo and I would highly recommend Owl and Bear for their exceptional professional standards. Thank you so much for the added personal touch!”

“Working with Owl & Bear has proved a hassle free and very effective way to manage our company marketing. Clare manages our press releases, social media, website, exhibitions and annual customer events and more. With scheduled catch up’s and communication with us, Clare has been able to keep her finger on the pulse and deliver news and advertising to our customers as and when it happens. Working with Owl & Bear has proved a cost effective way of having a marketing team without the overhead cost involved. I would highly recommend using their services for all your marketing needs.”

“Clare was recommended to me and I can honestly say it was the best call I’ve ever made. Before I opened my shop, I needed a logo. I gave Clare an understanding of the image I wanted to portray, and Clare took on board all my ideas and designed a logo far better than my initial brief. Clare’s next job was to design my website and yet again surpassed all my expectations. The website is only ever held up when Clare is waiting for me!
I have now been in business for 2.5 years and I have not tired of the styling, colour combination and functionality. I have big plans now and hope to be able to sell online soon and Clare is more than capable to help me in this next phase of my business growth. If could afford it I would hire Clare on a full time basis!”
