“I have very much enjoyed working with Contra. The design has been very well-received, the back end is a joy to work with and of all the developers I interviewed, Contra had done the most due diligence in reading the brief to understand our specific needs. It was also an advantage that they understood the complexities of working with our IT department. The design and build process went very smoothly as Contra has a great communication system in place. I found that having a Project Manager to handle day-to-day liaising with the coders was very helpful, and using Slack and Trello to communicate and raise issues kept things moving. Above all, what the designers did was come up with a look and feel for our website that reflects our structure and meets the needs of our very different audiences. I would not hesitate to recommend Contra for your website build.”
