Knowledgeable, amicable and very helpful
I first approached Sol to help me set up a website for my educational consultancy business in early 2018. We met frequently during 2018 and through till October 2019 when the website was launched.
During these meetings I always found Sol to be knowledgeable, amicable and very helpful. We would brainstorm ideas (often instigated by him) and he would action them for me until both of us felt comfortable with the results. Since the website was launched, I have had excellent feedback from colleagues all around the world who have found it ‘exciting’, ‘accessible’ and ‘very comprehensive’.
I am very proud of this website and I thank Sol for that.
Sol has also helped me develop resources to go on to the website, some for sale and some free. I have drafted resources but he has been very adept at editing them, formatting them (especially for consistency) and making them technologically accessible. I continue to develop resources with Sol.
Thank you Sol. I couldn’t have developed my website and all it contains without you and I am grateful for that.
