It's common to ask for a recommendation for a web developer/designer online and be inundated with responses. But Caroline isn't a dime-a-dozen developer. She offers free 1-2-1s, is Google accredited, pushes accessibility for those with differing abilities, and has built a successful business on delivering excellent service and building real client relationships. I don't know anyone else who will sit down with you for an hour, review your website, and give you so much information that by the time you're done you have an entire page of notes- all at no cost, just because she cares. She'll also build your whole website from scratch, or just help you with some odds and ends. Whatever you need, try Caroline first. I wouldn't go anywhere else!
Caroline is highly reliable and very focused. She's a detail minded person and her work is always completed with high quality. She can be counted on to carry out tasks with careful follow-through and follow-up. Thanks to her high level of professional knowledge of her job, she really helped me to improve my WordPress skills, she also provided me a 1-2-1 training session and she's currently making a lot of efforts in order to make my job easier.
Caroline gave me some excellent advice on the direction I should take my website and was refreshingly open and honest.
I'll definitely give her a shout again when I need website work completing!
Blueocto created our online shop. From beginning to end, their enthusiasm, experience and expertise were truly impressive. Their advice meant we avoided a number of mistakes and pitfalls we couldn't have seen for ourselves. Great fun to work with, I recommend them to anyone looking for a committed partner in website development.
I’ve been super impressed constantly with Caroline at Blueocto. She is consistently juggling every project she is on and excelling at them while proactively continuing to support the marketing team. She also took the initiative to sort the website speed issues and improve the website performance.
We needed a new and updated website after 5 years. After our initial meeting with Blueocto it was apparent we were thinking along the same lines. With a few good suggestions on how the website could function over different devices and the initial concepts Caroline set to work and produced the final design for the website very quickly. Always helpful and very quick to respond with queries I can't recommend her enough.
Caroline is a hard-working and reliable member of the team. She can always be trusted to complete her work on-time in an efficient and professional manner. I would jump at the chance to work with Caroline again in the future.
