I contacted 3 freelancers after midnight on a Wednesday with a Joomla! issue.
Michael was the only one to get back to me with a personal response - but he came back in 7 minutes!!
A conversation followed in the morning, my menu problem was resolved in about 20 mins then Michael just got stuck in and helped massively.
We launched the new site the following day and it's all good!!
Michael was professional, personal, courteous, honest, technically proficient and did what was asked, even though that was changing by the hour!
Rates were very favourable, considering the urgency of the situation.
I look forward to meeting Michael in person for the several beers I owe him and I genuinely can recommend him for anything Joomla related.
Please don't take all his time though as I will be working with Michael again in the near future!

We are a small electronics design & manufacturing company based in
Leicester and weren't happy with our existing website, so approached Web
Hosting 4UK to re-vamp it for us, redesign the main site and also design
and build an online shop. We were initially wary about having our
company website redesigned and moved to another host due to a bad
experience with a previous hosting/design company.
Michael very quickly dispelled any of our concerns by explaining the
whole process to us in plain English and advising us of the best
solution for our requirements and budget.
From the initial design brief right through to configuring and
launching our e-shop, Web Hosting 4UK were always on hand to advise us
and even visited us to give training on managing our websites. They even
threw in a free £75 Google Adwords Voucher, set up a Google Adwords
campaign for us and also set up Google Analytics for both our website
and shop. They also got us on page 1 of Google withing 2 weeks on
various keywords and phrases.
We were so impressed with the level and quality of service that we also
had an Intranet designed to manage all of our internal processes and ISO
9000 quality system.
I highly recommend Web Hosting 4UK and have yet to find fault with any
of the services the provide for us.
