Waiheke Island Wine Tours
Thanks very much for building our website. The booking system is working brilliantly, saving us lots of time on the phone. As a two-man band, with one working fulltime somewhere else, it is important for us to be as efficient as possible. It’s a real buzz sitting here watching a booking pop into our inbox! We are delighted with the way the site came together and the new format for the testimonials page is very user-friendly.
Jean and Wayne, Waiheke Island Wine Tours.

151 Ocean View
Sol has been great to work with on our new website. His friendly and consultative approach coupled with his extensive knowledge and experience of what makes a website “work” were invaluable to us with our project. Without his input and guidance, our site would not have many of the features and inclusions that most of us take for granted. Sol provided a professional and complete service tailored to suit our needs, and I am grateful for his helpfulness during our project.

It has been great working with Sol on the Fine Travel News website. Not only does he know the technical web stuff but he presents good ideas for the content and marketing of the site.

Time On Your Hands
Sol, thank you for doing a great job on my website. My original website I designed and put together myself, it was a bit of a fumble, hence my decision to use an actual Web Developer to create a newer and professional site, you successfully created just that. It was good to work with you and a relief to know I could request site changes and you would do what you do best and implement those. I’m incredibly grateful for all the work you’ve done and appreciate your patience with me in coming up with the finished product.
