Helen worked closely with myself to design my website.

I had some design ideas myself and Helen was able to recreate these in Photoshop ans then build my website using CSS and HTML.

I would happily re-employ Helen Jones as I consider her to be a valuable who consistently achieved good results and delivers
all expectations.

The finished site exceeded my expectaions and I will be happy to use her again, when the time comes to update.
