What Our Clients Say
Start-ups and sole traders to multi-national established companies and public sector bodies, my client base is extensive which means my experience over the last 12 years is vast and I have an excellent reputation for providing a great service at a fair and affordable price.
Why believe me though? Well you can see some of my clients’ comments below, and I can arrange for you to speak with any* of my clients if you wish to see how I have added value to their business with a well planned internet strategy and how I can do the same for your business.
People buy from people and being an active networker I know how important it is to have personal recommendation when engaging someone’s services.

"Our team at Sheds N Chalets were getting good sales from our website, but like most business’s wanted a bit more traffic, which meant more changes and more cost, every time we needed a small change we had to contact our web master to do this for us, with this in mind we searched for an independent web designer that could design a new site for us then allow us to change information and pictures
ourselves.
We had heard about Beach Software and gave Ben a call. He quickly visited our offices and took note of what we required and went back to start on our new site.
Ben was very patient with our demands and took great pride in his work designing our site; he had some great new ideas that have helped us achieve more traffic and sales plus the added bonus of us maintaining the site ourselves, but still having Ben on call for any problems we may occur.
I would defiantly recommend Ben and Beach Software for anyone wishing a new website or just a remake of their original site, professionalism and value for money all in one package, what more could you wish for."

"Welsh Tartan Centres employed Beach Software to redevelop our existing tartan website which was outdated and unworkable. After various meetings, a price was agreed and we are very happy with the results. As with all websites, there is always more work than you think but working with someone like Ben, you know he wants the best results for you and will patiently and politely help to achieve them.
While actual sales on the site are on the rise, we are more impressed with the level of enquiries it creates for the shop (massively improved on our previous site). From these contacts we have secured substantial new business by phone and through customer visits.
There are further works planned to the site, and I suppose that is something we have learned from Ben, once on the web, your site needs to continually evolve."

"I chose to work with Ben because of the personal service and highly competitive prices. Ben created a great website for the business from my given brief which has been very well received. Ben helped me reach new audiences via networking sites, Twitter and Facebook.
Ben provides a 1st class ‘friendly ‘ service and is always available to offer advice on a variety of subjects. I wanted to use a local company who could provide me with the ‘personal’ service I was looking for. Ben was very attentive to my business needs and fulfilled my brief on time and within budget.
Great service and end product. Very friendly to do business with. I would recommend Ben Wheeler of Beach Software."

"I chose Ben because of his approach to actually taking the time to explain the web design process and breakdown of costs rather than just giving me a price for a website when as a smaller business I had no idea where to start!
I initially thought the website would be for clients to view basic info, I never once envisaged how many bookings would come from strangers having the website alone.
Ben sends regular tips on how to improve layout and attract new customers to the site much more than just designing a website!
I would recommend Ben to anyone who is thinking about trying to create their own website, after going with beach software I would no longer consider that as an option, Ben has taken out all the time and hassle with such a cost effective and easy to manage option, it leaves me to run my business knowing that I have support from Ben anytime for any problems.
One happy customer Beach Software is working on my second website!"

"Ben at Beach Software has done a wonderful job of building me a custom made website. I really liked Ben's attitude to his work and the care and attention that he puts into it.
It is nice to have a web designer that listens to the requirements of the site and builds it accordingly. I was also impressed that he kept to his deadline as promised. I would recommend Beach Software, and will certainly continue to use them."

He really knows his stuff and delivers exactly what he promises. If you are looking for a new website, an upgrade or to get your existing site working then look no further!"

"I know Ben from his association with theatre. He is a top bloke and his company does exactly what you need. He has set up a great website for the Drama Association of Wales and has helped in the day to day software / hardware maintenance too. He is a great guy - who is able to get to the root of your IT issues quickly - without making you look / feel an idiot and all for a great price. Top man!!"

"My company website was looking somewhat tired & lifeless. I would not go back to the original designer because I considered him to be tired & lifeless.
As the result of attending one of the BNI meetings as a guest of Owen Williams (Commercial Finance) I was introduced to Ben and within minutes knew that he was the right person to redesign our website.
My company products are of a very specialised nature for the engineering industries. But Ben understood the technology and was able to translate the information and develop a very attractive website.
The entire exercise was painless and involved very little input from me while Ben was working on the site. We are delighted with Ben's work and indeed one of our clients's complimented us on the new site.
We have no hesitation in recommending Ben for any website work."

"I recently employed the services of Beach Software to overcome a functionality obstacle within my own website.
Through conversation, Ben was able to determine my needs and quickly came back to me with a solution. Ben ensured that I had an understanding of the solution along with how best to implement it and explained how it could be adapted for use in other scenarios.
By providing this additional information, he effectively delivered a scalable solution which will in the long term allow me to further develop my website. The fact that Ben took the time to assess where my future developments may be heading shows a commitment to delivering a service of the highest quality and excellent customer care.
A few days later Ben again contacted me to enquire if I had managed to implement the solution and that all was working well, once again enhancing what was already a very positive customer experience.
I would have no hesitation hi recommending Ben Wheeler of Beach Software Ltd. to friends, family or business associates."

"We are a company of just 2 persons who are pretty busy and simply hadn't got round to creating a web-site. This was probably losing us potential business!
We met Beach Software (Ben) at a 4N Networking event and realised we needed someone like him who could get the website up and running quickly and professionally.
The decision to contract Beach Software was a good one for us: Ben new exactly what we needed. After a couple of short and efficient meetings to define and finalise the content, it was live!
We've already had some great feedback and the website adds professionalism to our offering. It was remarkably good value too!"

“My website needed simplifying and updating. I needed I.T. hand-holding minus the jargon. Ben did both - expertly - and took the time to understand both my business and my website intentions.
I would recommend Ben, over anyone, for his endless patience, attention to detail and all round integrity.”

“We recently hired Ben to design a new website for our company and were very impressed with the service we received from him.
Ben has a detailed knowledge of web design and this was evident in the ideas that he gave us for our website which suited our needs. He also provided advice as needed throughout the project which was particularly pleasing.
Ben has carried out similar work on behalf of some of our clients and these clients have been equally impressed with the quality of work and service that Ben has given.”

“Working with Ben is a pleasure: apart from being very personable, he is a calming influence on everyone.
His calm and reassuring manner, backed up by the technical service he provides, means that he's exactly the sort of person you want to work with when you're under pressure, or when you're trying something new and need someone to be gentle with you when you don't understand!"
