I am writing to say thank your patience and expert guidance in setting up a new website for my holiday cottage. The website you replaced had been used for ten years, and bookings were flagging, partly I thought because of the economic downturn, however since the new website has been up and running, enquiries have…
Thank you for organising the books for me. I gave them out after our leaving party and the kids thought they were great. Your help is much appreciated.
I have been working together with Sane Design for over 3 years now and never looked back. Bruno and Andrew have a wealth of knowledge within this field and I have always been pleased with the final results. The company offers expertise, attention to detail, great communication and creative designs, they really understand what the…
I have been delighted with the presentation and the quality of print which Sane have produced for our publications.
We began working with Sane Design in 2010 during the opening of our new store in York, in fact we were located just along the road from their offices and it was great being able to meet face to face as often as we have over the years. Many of our suppliers are just on the end of the phone or a distant email contact, while Bruno & Andy are so much more.
Sane Design completely redesigned our brand in 2010 and provided me with brand guidelines that have been carried through all of our print and digital media ever since. They also completely rebooted our eCommerce platform, a not inconsiderable job considering our own lack of relevant know how! I have always been able to drop in or phone up with stupid questions and get a straight forward and patient answer.
Sane Design are my first phone call on all our creative work and always make time to help us out when we are up against it for a deadline. Always professional and practical we have greatly benefited from their creativity and open mindedness.
Bruno from Sane Design, implemented an online booking system onto both of our websites, which has been the single most effective development in terms of moving our business forward. Automating a labour intensive procedure has enabled us to double our turnover in one year. With support and guidance from Bruno, we added a few personal touches to the system, ensuring that our customers feel they are dealing with us, and we are confident that our strive towards providing outstanding customer service has not been affected.
Throughout the process, Bruno was able to meet all of our requirements in an effective and timely manner and his aftercare has been outstanding.
