What the client had to say
Sze Kiu Yeung, Editor at Harcourt Education commented:
"We had asked iWeb to develop a website to support a print-based programme that teaches children to read in English (as a second language). The website contains electronic versions of the original books used in the programme, a number of interactive games and additional printable resources.
I remember iWeb being really good to work with, they were always willing / quick to come up with solutions – even against time constraints (we only had 3 months to develop the website). Whenever we asked for amends, iWeb were always very quick to make the changes, and were always very efficient. I felt that I could really trust them to do a good job. They were very good at communicating with us in terms of letting us know where they were at, or if they had any queries. Despite not having any knowledge of the “technical” side of things, I found it really easy to communicate with them (in that they didn’t overwhelm me with jargons!)"
