“I had almost given up on finding the right web designer.”

I was really worried with so little content it wasn’t going to come out very well and I think you have done a brilliant job.

I had almost given up on finding the right web designer. The general attitude that everything on the internet and social media is fake so I should just fake my site was almost universal but not something I wanted any part of so a big thank you to you as well for creating a great website with so little and keeping it honest.

Now I'm so happy with the results.

“Exactly the type of versatile designer I was looking for”

I am absolutely delighted with the service that Tracy has provided. She helped me achieve the goals of my business which were to launch a user friendly and streamlined site to show my artwork off to best effect. She was exactly the type of versatile designer I was looking for, demonstrating equal expertise with information technology and the aesthetic appearance of the website. Tracy immediately recognised my need for something that was was affordable and easy to navigate but which could be easily expanded. I was concerned that I may not have sufficient computer skills to manage the site myself but she provided me with excellent training in how to update and develop it in the future.

Tracy was highly recommended to me by a friend and colleague. I researched her previous projects and was impressed by the level of professionalism and clarity of her work. She has excellent communication skills and I really enjoyed working with her. The whole process was very clearly explained and Tracy was very receptive to my ideas and quick to answer any questions I had. She has encouraged me to more confident in my use of the internet as a tool to promote my work and I am already seeing the benefits with increased sales of my work.

I hope to work with Tracy again as my business grows.

“What impressed us was how creative she had been on improving our basic ideas, capturing all we wanted and so much more.”

Highly recommended, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend or use Larva again.

Like most people with a start up idea, your first thoughts are going to be “we can’t afford not to have a website it will make us more credible”. Simple we thought, I lived in corporate world, how hard can it be, I had allocated six months to complete this project. We marched in some providers who pitched everything, did I say I lived and breathed in corporate world, I thought I new all there was to know, how wrong I was, SEO’s hosting domain, analytics, branding and so much more and all jargon to me, we almost had given up, when a great recommendation came to us with four months to go, so we thought we have to give it one more go.

Right from the first meeting, Tracy was very helpful in explaining the rudimentary process with no jargon and on the ball. She got it... what we wanted, she had taken our vision on board.

Her proposal back to us was perfect, detailed, understandable and very clear in her delivery actions. What impressed us was how creative she had been on improving our basic ideas, capturing all we wanted and so much more at very competitive package. Her friendly and flexible approach was just amazing, Tracy encouraged us at every step, notified us all the way and we felt when we looked back, we were not hit too hard in the pocket.

Our website has been in operation for over a year and is fresh, current and attractive today as it was when we launched. We are getting fantastic reach within our google data reports, added to that the reviews and feedback we are constantly receiving from our customers has been outstanding from all our platforms on our website.

Our continued partnership with Tracy is excellent, quick to make changes, add features and move bits around as and when requested, who literally bent over backwards to get our website up and running in the four months. She delivered in buckets, our logo is exactly what we wanted and at the same time with the admin page, we have the freedom to edit our pages how we want and when we want, this improves our offerings to the ever changing customer demands.

We have a site we are proud of; simple, straightforward, clear, quick and concise - we are over the moon with the results!

If you’re looking to build your website I highly recommend Tracy.

A well deserved 5 stars!

“The end result is a website to be proud of!”

Nottingham Operatic Society is one of the oldest amateur companies in the UK, producing spectacular musical theatre productions at the Theatre Royal Nottingham. Over the last few years we have felt our old website was extremely dated and no longer fit for purpose. We wanted a website that looked fresh and modern, was easy to update ourselves, and allowed us to showcase both our upcoming productions and our long history, including some of our old company photos.

Tracy was highly recommended by company members, so was our first choice once we made the decision make a start on a new website. She guided us throughout the designing and building process, giving her expert advice on making our website look professional. The end result is a website to be proud of! Since the website has gone live we have received many positive comments from our members and theatre goers.

We would thoroughly recommend Tracy at Larva to anyone considering a new website!

"Unpretentious, detailed, honest & thorough. Simply stated, Tracy aka Larva IS the real deal"

Simply stated, Tracy aka 'Larva' IS the 'real deal'. She is the business you hope to find every time you search for a product or service. You receive everything you want from your commission plus much more. Tracy’s dialogue is jargon–free and uncomplicated, she has masses of patience and is hugely creative. Her approach is unpretentious, detailed, honest and thorough. Tracy succeeds beyond expectation. In any business climate this is rare. She excels beyond price by creative, clever and on-trend interfaces you would not have considered, commissioned or understood. She knows what’s current and uses it.

She provided easy and detailed notes that saved hours of research for me on SEO, keywords and also on site management.

Tracy has the edge over many website builders in that not only is she technically savvy but also has a great visual eye. She is as creative as she is technical.

She listened carefully to my brief and presented my online personality perfectly, better than I could have myself. She designed my site around client reviews that illustrated and better sold my personality and on-line brand in a more tangible, approachable and commercial way.

I believe when clients commission a website build they have little understanding of the work, time and process involved. I didn’t. They also have little understanding of what a good website with effective SEO can bring in terms of business status and ROI.

I received enquiries through my website the first week it went live. I then had a client book me who I know for a fact I would have lost had I still had the old site. And when a ‘Google’ adviser rang and ran a free scan over my analytics to try and sell me extra services, it ranked higher than most do in is first 6 weeks and he had to admit he was impressed. He actually then asked me the company name who had built the site.

"A pleasure to work with & highly recommended"

We needed a website at short notice to be ready in time for a conference, and Tracy was amazing. She advised on web colours, layout for optimal viewing on mobile devices, briefed a logo designer and helped transfer our domain name. We did the whole thing by email and over the phone, and love the result. Tracy is a pleasure to work with and highly recommended.

"I was recommended to work with Tracy and from the moment I met with her, felt comfortable about her knowledge and expertise"

I was recommended to work with Tracy and from the moment I met with her, felt comfortable about her knowledge and expertise. I found Tracy very professional and really enjoyed collaborating with her. It was my first website so I was very indecisive, however I found Tracy to be very patient with me throughout the whole process. Tracy was always available and the website was up and running in no time. I also found the cost very reasonable. I love my new website and so do the people I have shown it to also. I would highly recommend Tracy.

"Tracy took on board all my requests and interpreted my ideas brilliantly"

I love the clean, fresh look to my website. As I have a design background myself, I had clear ideas about the colours, design and images that I wanted. Tracy took on board all my requests and interpreted my ideas brilliantly.

She was professional and followed up my emails and calls promptly. I would highly recommend her as website designer.

"Tracy went to enormous trouble to find out exactly what my business needs were and tailored my website accordingly"

Tracy completed a visually pleasing and user friendly website for my yoga and Pilates teaching business recently. Tracy worked to a tight time schedule and worked closely with other professionals when needed to bring everything together at the right time. Tracy went to enormous trouble to find out exactly what my business needs were and tailored my website accordingly.

I highly recommend her company's services.

"Larva and Tracy were fabulous!"

Larva and Tracy were fabulous! From the first meeting everything was very clear and ‘non techy’ – and I felt she understood what I was trying to achieve… She kept me updated throughout the process and chased me for the information she needed – when I saw the initial website format I was delighted. I am still amazed at the technical links to the various social media sites and how easy it is to navigate my way around my new website – probably as a result of Tracy’s time sitting with me and running through everything step by step.

I would definitely recommend Larva to anyone.

"We now have a great website to match our great facilities!"

The Duchess Theatre and Chatsworth Arts Centre is a unique performing arts and events venue in the heart of Long Eaton and after undergoing a major rebuild from 2003 to 2010 following a tragic fire we were keen to revamp our website also. Tracy consulted closely throughout the process of designing and building our new website and we are very pleased with the result, which is easy to use and maintain, and has attracted so many positive comments from theatre users...
…The main thing we wanted to be able to do was easily and effectively advertise the up and coming shows and performances by the fantastic groups that perform at the theatre as well as providing clear details of our brilliant new facilities and how to hire the venue for social events. Thanks to Tracy we now have a great website to match our great muti-use facilities!

"Beautiful website that is easy to use"

When we contacted Tracy to enquire about having a website we had no idea she was such a wonder woman. Tracy spent a great deal of time listening to what we wanted to achieve, and how we wanted it to look. Her skills created a totally up-to-date, beautiful website that is easy to use. In addition she spent time showing us how to use it ourselves to put on blogs and pictures, and organised our emails. She has also been available to help us whenever we needed her. We couldn’t be happier and would recommend anyone thinking of having a website created to look at ours and then you will be certain to go to Tracy.

From the very first meeting to final launch of our new website there aren’t enough superlatives to describe how Tracy @ Larva approached this project. She listened, understood, advised, contributed and finally created our beautiful site.

We are over the moon with our new site which has been echoed by all of it’s visitors and customers.

"Thank you once again Tracy for all that you have done – it’s awesome!"

I have recently set up my own finance and accountancy recruitment agency having spent many years working for and on behalf of other companies. To be able to compete successfully in a competitive market place I needed a first class website that was easy on the eye and very user friendly to attract both candidates and new clients alike. As Tracy had done such a fantastic job with my coaching website she was naturally my first choice for my recruitment website. Although it needed to have a completely different function again Tracy excelled. She interpreted my brief with an inherent understanding of exactly what I required in terms of functionality and design. And she’s also pulled off the professional yet warm and approachable feel that I wanted emanating from my site too...

I am absolutely delighted with the results and the feedback so far has been incredible. This is what one candidate said in an email to me;

“Just checked out the new website  You must be excited that it’s all up and running now! Great site – well written & user-friendly. Also works well on my phone too, which I find is often a problem with some recruitment sites. Good Luck!”

Awesome feedback and a testament to Tracy indeed.

Thank you once again Tracy for all that you have done – it’s awesome and I appreciate everything whole heartedly.

"Awesome website Tracy – Thank you!"

We were absolutely delighted with the services of Tracy and Larva Limited who understood our brief exactly when designing a new website for our start-up company and kept in touch during the whole process. It was a very exciting moment when we got to see the preview of our website which excelled our preconceptions and expectations and the live launch date was on target...

Tracy’s advice regarding SEO has proved invaluable and will no doubt feature in the coming weeks when continuing to market our services and reach our target audience.

We would have no hesitation in recommending Tracy and her company – once again many thanks for an efficient and professional job.

"Absolutely delighted!"

Tracy built www.livelovelifecoaching.co.uk a year ago for me to promote my career / life coaching practice and I have been absolutely delighted with the results, and continue to be delighted too. She thoroughly understood and interpreted my brief to perfection. I wanted something that reflected me, that wasn’t too formal or informal either, that was clear and not cluttered but that enabled me to communicate who I am and what I do. I also wanted it to feel warm and inviting and to have a creative edge too. I have had, and continue to receive amazing comments about my website too. I appreciated her talents and abilities wholeheartedly...

…In fact, I liked it so much she is now building another www.naylorgeorge.co.uk for my recruitment business too. And that looks amazing too.

As a result of Tracy’s clever SEO work and the advice she gave me regarding adding information to my blog I am delighted that when searching for ‘career coach Nottingham’ or ‘life coach Nottingham’ I appear within the top 3 beneath the paid sites that go first. What a fantastic result. Thank you Tracy. I feel the gauntlet is now down for my second website!
