Climate East Midlands

"On behalf of Climate East Midlands, Anne, Chloe and I would like to thank you for your help and support in delivering the Climate East Midlands website.

We felt from the outset that you took the time to understand what we wanted to achieve, and you made it very clear what your side of the deal was. This has meant that the project has run incredibly smoothly and to time. You have met all of our expectations, and we have particularly valued your help in sorting out glitches quickly immediately prior to the site going live. We are really pleased with the result and would also be pleased if you were able to bid for any future work we undertake to extend the functionality of the site.

Once again, thank you, it has been a genuine pleasure to work with you."

Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust

"Working with Make Hay has transformed our web presence and changed the way we look at our internet presence. We've seen a 100% increase in visits to our site and the new platform makes it far easier for us to promote our work and events."

Erin McDaid, Communications & Marketing Manager
Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust

Seal Protection Action Group

"A website is an extremely important tool for any organisation and at the Seal Protection Action Group we needed a website that would capture peoples' attention, keep them interested and would be easy for us to manage.

As a charity that has the environment at the root of it's cause, it was also vital for us to have a website designer who was green and ethical - thus Make Hay was the obvious choice.

I am delighted at the outcome and grateful of their hard work and support at making the process as smooth as possible. I highly recommend their services to anyone who wants a beautiful, top quality, ethical site. Keep up the great work guys!"

Anna-Lisa Nagel - Seal Protection Action Group

DK Rumsby & Co Ltd

"Vicky and Jez made the process of updating our website really simple. After updating our brief, they came back with three different variations of our theme and then gave us some great ideas as to how to engage with our audience and brand our approach to business.

A refreshing approach to a discipline that is out of my field of expertise delivered on time and budget, whilst exceeding expectation.

I do recommend them to my clients."

Philip Rumsby - DK Rumsby & Co Ltd

My Global Garden

"Make Hay are much more than an ethical web design company. Their ability and desire to deliver client’s objectives is quite unique.

I needed a blog that was simple to use and allowed me to create strong visual stories around the issue of gardening in a changing climate. Their knowledge and understanding of the internet proved invaluable in creating an attractive design and sourcing the correct programme to build www.myglobalgarden.com.

Jez is the only web guy I know who speaks plain English, never blinding me with technical jargon and always making sure I fully understand.Over the past few months, he has made my transition from illiterate web-user to full blown serial blogger an utterly enjoyable experience."

Debbie Anderson - Global Gardening

Art Aid: Embrace

"It wasn't something we initially though of as important to work with a green company - to be honest I wasn't aware that there were green/ethical website companies! Knowing that now, I'm glad we happened to meet and end up working with you as it's important to me and the project to be as ethical and green as possible (particularly raising money for climate change) and therefore was definitely a good thing that we worked with you.

The site looks great and is exactly what I imagined and was after, and is really easy to use. The instructions you gave me to edit the site were fantastic, and very clear for me to understand and get the hang of things. You've also been great at keeping in good contact, being able to answer any queries really quickly and sorting out any problems. I wonder if we would have had such a good relationship with a larger company as it's felt very much like we've been working with you instead of just giving you the brief and feeling quite removed from it, which I think has been a good thing."

Sara Lawson - Art Aid (Christian Aid)

"It wasn’t difficult choosing a web company. In fact that was the easy part.

When I first met Jez from Make Hay he was so obliging and friendly that I knew he’d get me up and running on the internet before long.

The best thing is that Make Hay is an ethical company and can power my website with the wind. My kind of people."

Laura Burgess - ecoescape

Ethical Weddings phase 1

"Thank you very much for all your help (and patience!) in designing and building our first ethicalweddings.com site.

You have always been quick to respond to our queries and receptive to all our suggestions, working through them to find practical and stylish solutions. Your approach to the work has been thorough, professional and innovative; we were particularly pleased with the 13-page proposal we received in response to our initial query which laid the foundations for the creation of this preliminary site.

Both by email and on the phone we have found you to be friendly and easy to talk to. You made sure that our lack of knowledge of web design was not a barrier in our conversations, explaining everything clearly and without jargon.

We are very impressed with our preliminary site, and have already received many compliments on it. We would certainly be happy to recommend Make Hay to others and indeed have already done so."

Katie Fewings - Ethical Weddings

All Ours

"I have found make Hay excellent to wok alongside. I send them what seems like a series of muddled ideas and updates for the site, they turn it around in an extremely quick and efficient way to become an organised set of web pages, that look great and read well – fantastic – what more do you want!"

Penny Arnold - All Ours

Wildfolk

“Many thanks for all your hard work on the Wildfolk website. The end result is absolutely brilliant and just what we were looking for – conveys the Wildfolk image perfectly! And all your help and advice along the way was very much appreciated.

I would be very pleased to recommend Make Hay to anyone requiring professional web design by a firm with a truly helpful and friendly approach.”

Sue Crouch – Wildfolk

Parent Partnership Service

Make Hay listened to what PPS wanted, made and refined the proposal in the light of further comments. Communication was excellent and the project was delivered to the estimate and on time."

"Beyond all the professionalism, expertise and helpfulness, they are a company that are passionate about a range of environmental and welfare issues which is rare to find these days. As I have similar values, I found working with them an inspirational and gratifying experience ... and ... they're just nice people."
