Nick helped me through the logo design, website building and gave me business tips and added his thoughts into discussions with a view to aid the business. He never overstepped and allowed me to focus on improving and comparing against competitor products. My business was in the fitness sphere and disbanded due to other business ventures but had I went forward I would have utilised Nicks services more and not gone elsewhere. He provides value for money and invoices are itemized for you to see what he does with the money. I would recommend nick as he always picks up the phone, provides input where

Delighted with the website Nick at Design Hero built for us. He was extremely helpful in assisting us on the best ways to move forward with our web page. He updated us often on progress and what he required from us. He not only designed our website but our logo and brand also. Again brought forward many suggestions and again very prompt in completing logo.
Nick is friendly and professional and I would happily work with him again and would highly recommend to any business.
