What the client had to say

Jenifer Burden commented;

"iWeb did an exellent job for us to develop this resource, which involves animation, video and user interactivity. The design was crucial in illustrating the key concepts to students, without being so complicated that it got in the way of learning about the science. iWeb came up with creative suggestions which built on our initial ideas, and then produced mock-ups of each stage of the activity for us, so we could check it as the development proceeded.

It was very helpful to have the opportunity to refine our ideas as we went along, and we were confident throughout the work that we were going to be very happy with the final product."
