We starting working with eckhoMedia towards the end of last year (2021), for a complete re-design of our website. Our current website was not meeting the business needs. We set a call with Rick and Simon, who both took the time to understand our business and created a fantastic looking website, which we are very proud of. The journey from start to finish was flawless and both Simon and Rick were on-hand every step of the way, to ensure the best possible outcome. I couldn't recommend them highly enough.If you're thinking to freshen up or change your website then look no further than eckhoMedia and book and call with Simon & Rick.Thank you eckhoMedia for a great website and hosting platform!!!

Rick and Simon have come to the rescue of Plants Enhance following a horrible experience with a local so say Web hosting/design company. Rick could not have been more helpful and reassuring. A new E commerce website was created very quickly and very efficiently and whilst Plants Enhance has taken a hit in trade I am glad to say that business is starting to return. I am now looking forward to the future knowing that I will be working with Rick and Simon and I cannot recommend Eckhomedia highly enough.

eckhoMedia has been of vital help to me in building up my plumbing business. Costs are modest, and search engine optimisation is so good that JPK Plumbing is now on the first page of Google. Simon is very helpful and very patient with my ignorance of computers. I can recommend eckhoMedia very highly.

Simon was approachable and friendly. He understood the ethos of the charity and was able to translate our mission and purpose into a website. We have received feedback from the public and professional organisations of how user friendly and warm our website it, so we were really pleased that the website was working for our service users as well as us. Simon has made a difficult task for us very enjoyable and I would not hesitate in recommending his services. We have just recently asked him to take over the branding and marketing of our charity.

12:17 27 Oct 15

eckhoMedia provided us with a fresh new website and helped us build a complicated back-end to our website that involved a lot of different features. As this was made totally from scratch, We needed to make a lot of changes and amendments, Simon has been very helpful and tolerant with our constant need for sometimes large changes to the system.

15:45 26 Oct 15

Our tired and under-achieving website was overdue a re-furb. We approached the guys at eckhomedia and described what we needed. The process from the initial contact to the day the website went live was a painless and pleasant one. The result was beyond our expectations, we now have something we can be proud of. I would not hesitate to recommend eckhomedia to anyone with similar needs.
