Be difficult to find anyone better

Colchester Choral Society was on the hunt for someone who could help with a rebrand as well as developing and managing a new website. I searched locally and Paul (PHD) popped up on Facebook from a number of recommendations. A couple of us met with him and we immediately felt he would be able deliver what we wanted. It took some months of meetings both in person and through Teams, to devise a new logo and colour palette. This took careful managing from Paul as change within an organisation can be very tricky. We have a brand and website that we are thrilled with and Paul’s costs were extremely reasonable and negotiated at every step. I can’t recommend Paul highly enough.

Paul’s work is nothing short of great

Paul’s work is nothing short of great. We asked Paul to create a website for us from scratch. His patience, expertise and understanding showed throughout and we were able to end with exactly what we were after. Thoroughly enjoyed working with PHD and would recommend to anyone for any level of design required.

Skilled and professional

It was a pleasure working with Paul on building our website.
After our initial meeting, he quickly provided us with a detailed working plan that aligned with our discussion and needs, while also offering valuable advice. Throughout the entire process, our communication was smooth and effortless, making the experience enjoyable and stress-free.
We are very happy with the outcome and would recommend Paul to anyone looking for a reliable and skilled professional.

Highly recommended. Excellent.

I learned about Paul via recommendation. I was setting up a business as a sole trader and had no previous experience. He created an excellent website which really represents the service I provide, with the image I wanted to promote. He also set up my business Facebook page, created adverts to go in local magazines etc. I really enjoyed working with Paul because he listened to my ideas, but also told me about other options too. It was so helpful to work with someone who knew the tricks of the trade when it came to promoting my business to potential clients. It's early days for me but, already, new clients are contacting me thanks to my social media and new website. I have Paul to thank for this and I'm excited about what lies ahead for my business!

An exceptional service that excels in every way

Paul is an excellent web and graphic designer who created first class web pages for me as well as designing excellent business cards and flyers. However, Paul did so much more than this. He listened attentively to my business plans, hoped for client pool and the messages I wanted to convey. He guided and advised me on the best way to market my practice, reach out to my clients and develop a professional image. I thought I knew what I wanted and needed but Paul’s ideas, input and knowledge resulted in something so much more than I have envisaged. I would highly recommend Paul to anyone looking for a first class, professional service plus.

Paul's a cut above the rest!

Paul helped us create our website for Mark Abraham Gas Services, throughout the whole process his communication was fantastic always being available when we needed him.
He was very professional and polite during our many conversations during the process and afterwards.
We couldn't be happier with the outcome of the website with it being seamless to use and smart to look at!
We would recommend using Paul to anyone looking to build a website for themselves!

Very professional and helpful

We appointed Paul Hailes to design and build our Smart Energy Research Lab (SERL) website. Paul was highly professional, approachable and committed to getting the job done to our specification, timings and budget. We were very happy with the site and would certainly work with Paul again and recommend to others.

Great personal and reliable service

Without any doubt, I thoroughly recommend Paul. After helping me build my brand, he designed my logos, business cards and headed paper. He updates and maintains my website, provides me with well researched advice, and sorts any problems I might have, with dedication and efficiency.

Seamless production. First class result.

“Paul created our website for 180 Samui, a luxury villa in Koh Samui, Thailand. Despite being the other side of the world, Paul made the whole process an effortless exercise (for us). Right from the initial brief, though the design process, to the launch, he handled everything personally and with a professionalism and expertise beyond expectation. A brilliant service that has continued throughout the year to keep the website fresh and relevant. Can’t recommend highly enough”. Tuu Davis, Owner, 180 Samui
