"Pete has worked with us on a number of design and marketing projects for different business interests for the last three years, and in that time proven to be a completely dependable source of creative ideas and input.

"I love the Image Mentor site, clean, fresh and very stylish. The site was created very quickly despite a vague brief from myself. Pete advised on the best layout, key selling points and took the time out to get to know my area of business and the competition. Invaluable direction and advice from Pete was a godsend, especially when you can get so close to your business and cannot see the wood from the trees. Nothing was too much trouble, despite amends and additions. I would recommend Pete to any business who wants a friendly, down to earth approach and great marketing advice, as well as good design. Thanks and I look forward to working with you on the next web phase."

"I have worked with Life Websites on a number of projects, more recently the building and hosting of the company’s various web sites. The insight and experience they bring to a business such as ours venturing into the world of web is invaluable. I can honestly say that through their endeavours and commitment the pit falls have been few, and those blips, that do occur when dealing with any technology, have been sorted out quickly and efficiently. It is important for us to be talking to the principals of the company and Pete and Chris are always only a ‘phone call away."

"Dealing with Pete and the Didsbury Life team is no ordinary business encounter. Behind the services provided is a sense that Pete and his colleagues are driven by great values, and that they are truly interested in their local community thriving, socially, culturally and economically. The networking possibilities are exciting. I've enjoyed meeting all the people I've come across through the site, including the journalists and the Didsbury 'local heroes' who are all up to something grand, and I am delighted when I can contribute to their endeavours. I now regularly recommend to others to make sure that Didsbury Life is contacted to energise any creative or business project."

"At the outset of the re-branding of our organisation Pete and Chris were a tremendous help in creating the database and framework for our website. They took great pains to understand what is a complex concept and demonstrated real empathy for what we at ENC have set out to achieve on behalf of businesses, particularly the smaller enterprise. In an often self-serving business environment I always regard Chris and Pete as genuine "good guys"."

Jo Thompson

"Pete has been continually willing to go out of his way to help me grow my business. Never short of great ideas and referrals, Pete's ongoing support and advice is a constant reassurance.

"Dobson Jones needed a simple but effective and user friendly site. We found Pete adept at listening to and interpreting our own ideas efficiently and meeting our then requirements. We will definitely be returning to Life Websites as and when the time is right to extend our online ambitions."

Jon Dobson

"I needed a website producing that showed various aspects of my photographic work. Pete provided various options that would best represent my work all of which I found very helpful in formulating my own ideas for the site. I found him easy to work with and very professional. Having supplied him with the appropriate resources required for the construction of the site, it wasn't long before the draft site was ready for me to view. I was more than happy with the speed with which Pete worked and also the end result! The final live web-site is fantastic and all I could have hoped for!"

"Pete worked with me over a number of months creating my career retrospective website. What was a fairly complex array of work was eventually organised into a logical and flowing structure. The job was detailed and at times painstaking for us both, but thankfully the attention to detail meant we ended with a site I feel truly proud of and effectively represents my work. Pete is a professional and trusted advisor, and he treats and respects me as a valued client. What started as simply a business relationship across a continent is now a relationship based on true friendship."
