I'm a self employed marketer, and never paid any attention to my own website, but Spencer had some great suggestions and it's now a solid website which shows on the first page of google for lots of relevant terms. He built the site in under a week, and it now consistently generates 2-3 new good leads everyday. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him. Thanks again Spencer!

Spencer is my go to if I need something designed on my website, be it a new landing page or a new logo. He's got a great knowledge of wordpress, so when he set my site up it was readily optimisable for SEO, something you don't get with lots of web designers. Really happy with the works he's done so far and will recommend his services to anyone looking for a new site!
