      Karl made a website for me with a database back end. I had to trust him completley as i knew nothing about the way things worked, all i had was an idea and Karl brought it to life.

      I would totally reccommend Karl for any project you have as he asks questions, finds answers and comes back to you very quickly, i will certinally be using him for anything else i want doing in the future. Thanks Karl 10/10
