What Customers Have to Say About inTandem
“I had a very basic website when I met Carolin and sought her advice. I was embarrassed of my old site and always made excuses to people about it, but I didn't know what to do about it. Carolin had a vision immediately for a new site that would portray my brand in a very professional manner, be user friendly for customers and be easy for me to maintain. Carolin was unbelievably efficient. The full site build only took a few weeks. She replied immediately to every email I sent her (many outside working hours) and was always at the other end of the phone when I needed her. Carolin is so easy to get along with and I have recommended her to friends and will continue to do so.”
Louise Carroll, Owner of Louise Carroll Designs
Lottie Hearn, Owner of Press Play Presentations“ Carolin is extremely creative with InTandem web design. She listens well to client needs and manages expectations while catering for your own imagination, ideas and input. She works with you to fulfil your dream - tactfully balancing the fine line between aspirations and what is realistically possible. And she makes it all look great! In avoiding highbrow, IT / webby "lingo" - Carolin makes things simple, easy to understand and follow. You feel like she invests her own time and complete energy to make sure you really understand how things work on your site. She coaches you how and empowers you to take control of your own website - saving money on small changes, while being there when you know it's time to make a big update, upgrade or design changes. Her knowledge of up to date, easy to use tools is fantastic - even when challenged with a website that is mostly video based - Carolin did the research and came up with solutions that work exactly as I wanted them to - cleanly, simply and I'm in charge! I would wholeheartedly recommend Carolin at InTandem to design, build and become a partner in your website vision.”
Ingrid Pilkington-Wright, Owner of IPW Interiors“ Carolin did an amazing job on my website. I am so thrilled with the finished product. She took on board all the information I gave her to give me exactly what I wanted. Carolin is very intuitive and a good communicator making it easy to work with even when not in the same country! I have no qualms in recommending Carolin in fact I already have and they are also delighted with her work.”
Joanne Mooney, Owner of Tiny Things“ I already had an existing website which I wanted to change and when I rang Carolin (who came highly recommended to me) I knew she was the woman for the job. Carolin is so creative, she knew exactly what I wanted in a website.
I had been in touch with other web designers before I heard about inTandem Web Design and none of them came close to what I wanted. On a professional level, Carolin is so efficient and on a personal level a really lovely person. I can now manage my own website as Carolin taught me how to. It is so user-friendly and I am confident I can maintain it in the future. So, I would firstly like to thank inTandem Web Design for creating the perfect website. And I would definitely recommend them. Thanks again from a very satisfied customer...”
Tom Hobson, CEO at Locus Insight“Carolin’s thorough understanding of the our business model combined with an efficient and creative approach to website design produced a site that looks and functions in a way that really suits the Locus Insight business mission.”
Gail Goss, Owner of Gail Goss Property Management, London, England“ I was tearing my hair out, when I first started thinking about a website for my new business. I tried a couple of different ways, including the DIY approach ahhhh! Then I realised it was like learning a whole new language, and I needed an interpreter. Fortunately for me a friend at school gave me Carolin's details. Thank you Ingrid! The first time I spoke to Carolin, I knew she would put something together that I would be very happy with. Carolin made the whole process stress free, even though I had a few days of being in front of the computer, lots of writing and picture sourcing, my family lost me there for a while, but it was worth it. I find Carolin to be an absolute expert in her field, easy to understand and a great listener! A fab gift to have. Carolin comes highly recommended and I wish her many more lovely clients.”
Rory O’Connor and Shane Mitchell, Producers, Sligo Live Sessions“ inTandem Web Design has developed a brilliant new website for Sligo Live Sessions. Carolin and her team quickly grasped our needs and helped us convert them into a brief. They operated in a fast, no nonsense manner, explained everything they did and drove our decision process. inTandem came up with a creative, clean, user friendly design that accurately reflects the festival. They worked quickly to a deadline and delivered on time. All this was accomplished without any disruption to our existing website, so the first our customers knew of a change was when it went live. And most importantly, they were a joy to work with!”
Orlaith Hickey, Owner, Names in Frames“ I wanted to thank you so much for my wonderful new website 'namesinframes.ie'. I am so happy that you were recommended to me to develop the website for my new business. I honestly could not have found another web designer that was so in touch with what I wanted and needed. Your hard work and imagination has produced a site beyond my expectations. It was very refreshing and pleasurable to work with you and I am so impressed by your 'can do' and 'will do' attitude. You were one step ahead of me all the time, and were constantly offering solutions without request. I can honestly say that I could not have found a better web designer. As you know already, in a former life I was a HR Manager for a successful insurance company - if I was asked for a reference for you, I would have no hesitation in recommending you! Thank you again, I will you every success for the future.”
Teresa Harte, Owner, Velo Vercors, France“ Carolin has been a godsend to our business and we have received many comments from clients and browsers who have complimented how user friendly and good our website looks. From the beginning she was dynamic, pro-active, understanding of the brief, and efficient. She delivered on time and took great effort in explaining how MODx content management system worked with notes, lots of conversations and aftercare service. She had a great sense of understanding what we needed for the business and also what works best for the customer. I can't recommend her enough and am just glad we found her”.
Philip Ryan, Production Manager, The Celtic Press“ For a small, though important educational publisher, with no existing website but with a definite need to promote our titles and to offer them for sale to the public at large no matter what corner of the country they live in, Carolin has proved invaluable to us. From her pre-development questionnaire, to her design and implementation, she has managed to direct and focus our thoughts so that at no stage did we stray down blind alleys or get waylaid by unnecessary detail. Her ability as a web designer and her knowledge of the pitfalls and difficulties of dealing with necessary third parties, has at all times made the process of determining our needs, compiling our information and executing our requirements a smooth and efficient process. Her delightful manner and her forthrightness has also made the development of our website a happy, stress-free project and we are looking forward to going live on time, with style and most importantly, with the functionality w both need and expect for this vital marketing tool.”
Malcolm Hamilton, Founding Director, Blue Raincoat Theatre Company“ We are a professional theatre company and theatre venue operating in Sligo since 1990. We are a major client organisation of the Arts Council of Ireland. Carolin Collins of inTandem web design was responsible for the development of our web site www.blueraincoat.com earlier this year. Our experience in working with her was exceptional. She immediately grasped the ethos of our company and how we wished to see this translated through our web presence. Carolin's work has delivered a site for us that for the first time in 11 years we feel correctly embodies and reflects our company. Carolin also established a site management system which has allowed us for the first time ever to administer and update our site with scheduled events, and downloadable information with complete ease. We have no hesitation in recommending Carolin and In.Tandem to any prospective client, and indeed we have already done so on several occasions.”
Bray Youth Choir Committee“ Carolin Collins designed our website when we were at a crossroads in our development as a community based choir wishing to promote ourselves to the world at large and with an expanding membership, a growing repertoire and a real need to communicate en mass with our members and their parents. Her insight and her methods of posing pertinent questions to us helped us to clarify our needs and our expectations from our website. Her dedication to her work and her ability as a designer ensured that every difficulty was surmounted with efficiency and that our website was developed with style and in a manner that gave us every confidence in her abilities. Since going live in 2009 we are most impressed with its functionality; we are proud of the image of us it portrays we know we have joined the global choir movement as is evidenced by the number of communications received from both prospective members and from the world choral singing both at home and abroad.”
