Mark was fantastic and took me through what I could do and what he would do for me bringing my website up to date with all the current user trends.
I used Mark for the website design and SEO package focusing on 10 keywords requiring national coverage and looking to rank images on Google for my signature aviation furniture.
Mark and the team created us a full responsive e-commerce website for our new online shop selling walnut tableware products. He also provides us with a 2 hour monthly SEO package to help increase organic traffic to our website.
