Joanne took time to listen to my thoughts and ideas through each stage of the design process from our initial discussion to final logo review. Her designs are fantastic and I am delighted with the logo and leaflets she has designed. The logo is appealing, fun and provides a professional edge to my business. I appreciate the work Joanne has done and would definitely recommend her.

Project: logo design

My website was designed and created by Joanne from Poppy designs whom I'd found through Google as a local designer. This was really a first time thing for me and not only that I had very little experience with computers. We met at her place of business and really felt at home, she was so informative and clear we almost instantly knew she was someone we could trust with this project. That trust was important, this was a venture I knew little about and in addition we were investing quite a lot of money in to this so having someone like Joanne reassuring us made the process a lot easier.

Again this was a new venture for me and wasn't really my comfort zone, Joanne kept things really simple for us, she resolved issues which were few so quickly and smoothly I could tell my project was important to her. She was well aware I had no idea what I was talking about and was very patient with me, there were times she had to spell things out to me but remained patient nonetheless. She still a few months down the line helps me out here and there.

Joanne obviously listened and took on board what it was I was looking for, when i was given the final result it was exactly what we were looking for, clear, simple and easy to look at, I was so impressed and so were the individual's I showed it to. I've actually had a lot of emails through through the site commenting on how much they like the layout!

I am absolutely delighted with the outcome, it is far better than I could have imagined (five stars). I will be be using Joanne for the next phase in the project and I have no doubt I will recieve the same service again.

I would recommend Poppy Design & Graphics Ltd. Joanne did a beautiful job of my site she was so professional and helpful with every part of it and so many of my customers have commented on it. My work load has boosted so much since my new site it was worth every penny!

What I like about Poppy is that they combine good, clean design with technical know-how - often you get one or the other with design companies. I also like the fact that every site is designed to fit the brief - Joanne really listens and doesn't spew out formulaic, 'samey' sites. She takes time to understand the look and feel that you are trying to achieve and the more input you can give her, the better the end result will be. She is a pleasure to work with and has the patience of a saint!
I've had really good feedback since my site was launched.

Joanne MacRae of Poppy Design and Graphics is great to work with! She comes up with the ideas, keeps you informed and takes your requests into consideration. It's also obvious that she works very hard to keep projects within their original deadlines. I don't imagine it's an easy job being a designer, balancing the creative elements of the business with communicating their and also the client ideas, but I appreciated the way in which Joanne struck a good balance between using my ideas and suggesting concepts to me.

Communication was excellent throughout the development of the website. It began with a face-to-face consultation to discuss in detail the requirements and expectations. All subsequent communication was via regular e-mail.
I felt very much involved throughout the development process with very regular (more often once/twice daily) communication throughout. Our needs were quickly understood and our biggest issue, speedy delivery, was certainly provided.
There was some use of 'jargon' not immediately understood by ourselves, but all queries were promptly responded.
Final outcome was excellent. Every detail we commented on was attended to. Our revised site was up and running a week before the deadline. We provided 'indications' of what we were looking for be means of sample sites we had seen elsewhere and this proved invaluable to achieving what we wanted within the timescale. We were quite taken back by (a) the time taken to respond, and (b) the quality of delivery - both were exceptional.
To summarise, we were extremely pleased with the delivered product and would highly recommend Poppy Designs to anyone looking for that added 'personal touch'.

I have been absolutely delighted with the work of Poppy Design & Graphics Ltd. From the beginning, plenty of effort was made to really understand what I needed and wanted to achieve from the site. Everything that would happen throughout the project was made clear so I knew what to expect at each stage. I was kept up to date throughout the entire process, and always felt informed. Any questions always received a prompt response and anything remotely technical that I didn't quite understand was explained in simple terms. I had an overwhelming sense that I was in good hands throughout. Such reliability should not be taken for granted. As for expectations, my site was complete a week before deadline, much to my delight. I have been blown away with the professionalism of Poppy Design. Nothing is too much trouble and the results speak for themselves.

Thank you once again Joanne for your professionalism, speed and efficiency, to say nothing of the fantastic design you have produced for us!  It is just what we wanted; we are so thrilled and will use you again for any web or graphic design projects that we have.
Many thanks Anna & Minas, www.bricksrestaurant.co.uk

I’m organising myself to go off to the Gift Fair in Birmingham tomorrow and just wanted to say thanks so much for getting the business cards arranged in time. They look really fabulous – very chic and classy. I love the way you’ve laid them out so thanks again. ..

Ooooooohhhhhh I just had a look at fionathomson.com and it's lovely!!!!! Thank you sooooo much for making such a beautiful site - I feel quite inspired now because I want to add some beautiful pictures to do it justice. It's just lovely and exactly what I was hoping for! I just can't wait to show it off to everyone...

I'm almost reluctant to recommend Poppy Designs, as I'm worried that next time I need them they'll be too busy! But then again, it wouldn't be fair to keep them to myself. It is rare to find a web design company which combines a strong aesthetic sense with good technical knowledge, but Poppy Designs certainly does. Joanne is fast, professional and a woman of her word. When she says she'll do something, you can be absolutely sure it will be done - and that's a rare quality. I have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone and will certainly ask her to work with me on future projects.

Contacting Joanne at Poppy Design & Graphics was definitely one of best business decisions I’ve made!  Initially, I had no real idea of what I wanted my company web site to look like, and must say I am absolutely delighted with the end product.  Joanne’s fantastic design has truly captured the essence of our company, and we continue to receive brilliant feedback from everyone who logs on to the website.   I recently asked Joanne to design some print work for our company and she promptly sent fabulous designs, which also complement our web site perfectly.  It has been an absolute pleasure working with Joanne and I would have no hesitation in recommending her design services.
