Testimonials

The Society of Antiquaries of Newcastle upon Tyne

"Peter carried out an audit of the Castle Keep Website (www.castlekeep-newcastle.org.uk). This audit has proved extremely useful in identifying the positive aspects of the website and suggesting how it may be improved. The audit report has also been used to support additional funding bids.

Throughout the process I was impressed with Peter's helpful attitude and patience in explaining 'computer speak' to me. His prompt and efficient response to meet my unrealistic timescales was also much appreciated.

I have no hesitation in commending Peter Clough to you to obtaining a website audit."

Northumbrian Water

"I would like to thank you for the web accessibility audit you carried out on the Northumbrian Water Website. The service was excellent and the report we received was easy to understand. As a result of the report that you provided us, we are in the process of implementing the recommendations within. Once again thank you for your professional and efficient service."

"The work you did for the Cathedral was helpful and the report you produced will be a useful tool as we address the whole range of communications undertaken by the Cathedral. We will be following your recommendations and advice as we begin to re-think our own website."
