“webpagesoftware have

delivered yet another superb

product for our clients

ActionAid. As we have come

to expect, the solution is

excellent, the price

competitive and the service

we received is second to

none.”

Russell Jones

ichameleon (Manchester)

"It appears that there is very

little they cannot do,

whether it be an integration

of their 'off the shelf'

products or creation of

bespoke systems… The

perfect scenario? I think so,

and this is why they will

remain my first choice when

I require web development

services."

Andrew Greenwood

“We have always found the

team at webpagesoftware to

be a friendly and supportive

group of people. Their 'can

do' attitude and willingness

to explain, helps enormously

when discussing work with

clients and their

commitment to the projects

we have worked on together

during the past two years

have resulted in a real

partnership.”

David Hassell

Account Director

The Design Centre Limited

(Dudley, West Mids)

"webpagesoftware have

become a trusted partner,

and our first port of call for

any content managed site.

Their off-the-shelf packages

cover many eventualities

and provide very cost-

effective solutions, but it's

through their bespoke

thinking and tailoring that

webpagesoftware contribute

most to the requirements of

our clients."

Steven Wainwright

Hemisphere (Manchester)

“It is a huge relief to have found a company we can trust with

this work – work that we can’t or don’t choose to do ourselves.

We concentrate on making the website look great while

webpagesoftware create efficient engines to drive it.

They have undertaken complex projects for us in a highly

professional manner – often with suggestions that enhance

the final result and delight our clients. The work is always

completed on time and to the quoted price. That’s very

important to us!

webpagesoftware are that rare breed of experts who can talk

to us intelligently about a highly technical subject in everyday

language. They are very nice people to work with and do a

great job.”
