What the client had to say

Jenifer Burden commented;

"iWeb are very familiar with developing interactive learning materials, and their enthusiasm for this type of work is really helpful. They suggested designs for the resource that were visually interesting, but at the same time very clear for the user to interact with, so that the key learning outcomes were not compromised.

They spent time with us clarifying exactly what we wanted students to get out of using the resource before beginning the design, so the developer understood the scientific concepts we wanted to get across, and was able to refine our initial ideas to give a better approach to the resource than we had originally planned."
