      Web Design Review from Robert H. Hughes, CERP

      Absolute Web designed a new site from scratch to replace our 20-year-old site. It was long overdue, and the process was made easy and manageable by Absolute. I spent months trying to find the right company to work with and found Absolute and Andres. He has been amazing and patient. After 5,000 products and new product images, his team got us to a polished and easy-to-use site. Their pricing was very reasonable and a great value. I would highly recommend Andres and Absolute Web.

      Web Design Review from Linda Reddin

      I had a wonderful experience working with Ali and the team at Apex Web Studios on my website, A Strategic Edge Coaching. From the beginning, Ali was professional, responsive, patient, and took the time to understand my vision and business goals. He was very easy to work with and always open to my feedback and revisions. He explained everything clearly and made the entire website development process smooth and stress-free. The final website looks professional, modern, and truly reflects my brand and coaching services. I am very happy with the final result and would highly recommend Ali and Apex Web Studios to anyone looking for a reliable, creative, and professional website design and development team. Thank you, Ali, for bringing my vision to life!

      Stef Croizier's Review Sourced from Google

      I worked with Claire and Amandine at Splash PR on the development and promotion of my event last September, and they did a truly remarkable job. From start to finish, they were professional and fully invested in making it a success. I am delighted to have discovered them and look forward to working together again. If you're looking for a human-sized agency that really takes the time to understand your needs, I highly recommend them!

      Anne-Lorraine Bahi (PIAFF)'s Review Sourced from Google

      We've had the pleasure of working with Claire at Splash PR for over 10 years now, and the partnership is still going strong. Claire knows her craft inside and out. On every project, she has a perfect vision of what we want to achieve, and she delivers flawlessly every time. She is committed, dedicated, always available, and deeply professional. She's constantly doing whatever it takes to help our business succeed, and what truly sets her apart is that she consistently goes above and beyond what is expected, driven by a genuine pursuit of perfection. We couldn't recommend Claire and Splash PR more highly.

      Isabelle Krief's Review Sourced from Google

      Everything looked great on paper but Claire did very little for my business and only fulfilled about 30% of the plan set up in our contract. Everytime I asked her if she had done the task we had set up, there was either a delay or she didn't do it at all and found excuses. I was very disappointed by her lack of professionalisme eventhough she charged me 3k/month. She did a lot of damage for my business and I would not recommend her.
