Our Testimonials

“When we decided to redo our website, we called quite a number of web designers and were provided with numerous addresses of sites created by each designer. We found that ALT Agency had the most sites that we thought were innovative, creative and professional. After speaking a few times with ALT Agency we decided to go with them. It’s the best decision we’ve made in quite some time.

Joe Spark

“There are two important considerations when looking for a designer, work quality and reliability. Alt Agency offer both in spades.

Ben Stephenson

Al Gosling

“I found Craig & ALT Agency through the UKBF forums and I can honestly say its been a pleasure to work with Craig & his team. The end result is exactly what I wanted and more.
