Our Clients

Working together. That's what we do. We listen to your ideas, and then use our vision to create something unique and effective. That's the way it should be, and that's the way we've been doing it for a decade and more.

It's really simple, really basic. But then we use skills that are anything but simple and basic. Creating websites that just work. Simple as that really.

So, take a moment to meet some of our most current and recent clients and have a little peak at the work we are doing for them today.

But remember this!

There are no limits, nothing is impossible when it comes to design. If we can give you a glimpse at what we have achieved in the past, that's not a boundary for what we can do for you, now and in the future. New idea? Impossible vision? Perhaps not. We believe that if it's possible, it's achievable. And in our experience, very few things can not be achieved when you put your mind to it.

Recent Clients And What They Say About Us

While we develop our new Interactive Portfolio Section, we thought it might be a good idea to show you a little of what we are currently working on, and let the very people we are working with say a few words about us. Being modest folks, we'll take a little seat at this point.

Over to you...

When the Stream Digital Radio Network are looking for partnerships to promote and grow their brand, they know they can rely on us! We have worked successfully on several of their previous projects. This was different though.

A completely new product, a completely fresh brand needs a totally new approach! This intelligent radio station aims to feed classic music from the 50's, 60' and 70's to the masses on Digital Radio Platforms. We had a lot of fun with this completely bespoke soultion, including a fully updatable and coded Radio Player. We also provide hosting and Media Streaming for Supergold.

Once again Net Island have built us a very strong platform. Simple yet strong enough to cope with our audience demand.

We'd like to thank Peter and David for all their help and support getting us there!

Social Media websites are springing up all over the place. Buy Tribe is a new concept that takes the theory of social 'togetherness' and in doing so created a new and exciting concept.

We have indeed done that, and so impressed were our clients behind the project that we are now actively working together to roll out this exciting new venture to the masses. Watch this space. It could change things forever!

Iconic Radio approached Net Island to completely redesign their tired old website. They wanted a brand new logo, new look and feel, and something contemporary that would help to take them into a new age for the station. Their original plan was for a micro site. They have now also added a Net Island Chatroom. The especially created online radio player also relays their stream to the station's listeners 24 hours a day. Net Island also look after the stations email, website hosting and media streaming.

"Excellent Services, as always."

The Jingle Maker is a business that creates high end sound imaging, such as audio jingles, advertising for TV and Radio, and promotional material for business. They have operated as TJM for a number of years. We have been working with them on the expansion of the brand and have advised and assisted them on the forthcoming launch of The Jingle Maker brand and website. The project has huge potential. The brief was to create a visually affective brand and website that would reflect the way the audio of TJM sounds - Big, Bold, Exciting! Bespoke!

Columbia Music are about to launch a brand new online music service, initially in the US only, but eventually here in the UK too. We were asked to put together a concept idea and create a platform for selling music that could be easily transferred across territories - in effect, an international brand.

Musicallity, a total Net Island concept, was born. It will eventually offer full download of all today's music, as well as offering a back catalogue of every CD ever created. Unlike other music stores, the emphasis is definitely on music only, rather than DVD's or video downloads.

"One of the many, many things that impressed us about Peter and David at Net Island was their pure enthusiasm for this project. It was clear that they wanted to help us do this, but actually, although that was a key factor in our choosing them, the truth is their concept, their ideas and the system they presented to us was just way and out the best.

We had asked a lot of companies to assist us with this. Net Island was the one that shone. We chose them. And we do not regret it.

The entire concept, look, feel and design were brought in to us by Net Island. We love it and are now working on the full launch this side of Christmas and we are delighted with the way things are coming.

Net Island has become a firm partner of our online operations and we look forward to many years of developing projects, brands and web based services with them in the future.

Once word. Excellent.

Boro Sound is a well established radio station located in the north east of England. They wanted to say goodbye to their in-house website and step up to a new level of design and flare online! We created a new look, and incorporated a brand new dedicated radio player so that listeners could continue to enjoy the station even when they had closed down the stations main website. The result is a sleek, colourful microsite, which also incorporates a chatroom for listeners and presenters to get to together.

Net Island have been working with Home James Executive Travel now for well over 3 years. The new website of Home James was designed once again from scratch! The agenda was to create a first ever website for our client. Including a new logo and corporate identity, the site would launch a new Gold Service and also feature an instant booking system designed to take client's details and relay this to the Home James office.

"I must say that all the work you and your team has done for Home James over the last three and a half years has been first class, from the initial setting up of our site, constant calls to reassure us and guide us to what we feel and our customers have said is a great site.
I, as you know have not a great knowledge on the subject of site maintenance but with yourself and your team only a phone call away I was confident I could count on you to put things right when I messed up,for this I thank you,and look forward to you being there for years to come.

I would genuinely be delighted to recommend Net Island and the team. Excellent to work with ever talented, always helpful and incredibly reliable 'when we need them' people. Seriously, what more can you ask?

William Cavanagh is a highly respected and experienced historian and Bulge and Normandy battlefield tour guide. When Mr. Cavanagh first approached us, his main stream of new business came directly via word of mouth. With a wealth of incredible historical material that he had accumulated over many years, and with a growing need for a business which is so niche to be on the internet. we went about creating his first website.

It is a huge success. With well over 80% of the tours booked now coming to William via the website, and with further income from rare audio files listed on the site, this web project has helped strengthen Bulge normandy battles no end.

"Working with Peter was nothing short of a great pleasure. He patiently assisted me to select material for the site and has alsways been a great help with the day to day running of it.

Brilliant design, delivered with speed and a friendly, professional attitude. I now have an effective stream for attracting new business. Very highly recommended."

Media 101 approached Net Island during late Spring 2011. The head of the project, Michael Winters, had worked with us in the past whilst working for another commercial radio station.

"I had worked extensively with Peter at Net Island when I was in charge of web services at a radio station in Eire that I was involved with. Then, as now, the way Net Island does business not only makes life incredibly simple, but also rather fun. Back at my Irish station, everything they did for me was always delivered quickly, and with superb ease. The quality of the work was amazing, and even last minute additions, work, anything we asked of them was never too much trouble.

When I moved to Media 101 earlier this year, and we began to look for a website company to help us, I asked Net Island to give us a quote based on our brief - this included a completely original logo, Identity and CMS website.

Peter came up trumps once again!

We are currently working on the launch of our broadcast services, and I know that I wouldn't trust anyone more than Peter with the agenda at hand. His enthusiasm is infectious, and his 'always there for us' approach is nothing short of astounding in this ever less caring world today.

I would genuinely be delighted to recommend Net Island and the team. Excellent to work with ever talented, always helpful and incredibly reliable 'when we need them' people. Seriously, what more can you ask?

Electrical247 is a freshly launched online electrical retailer. Specialising in selling electrical gear to the public and the trade, the site is growing in strength week by week, thanks to clever pitching, marketing and support. The system and the heart behind this online store is our comprehensive Ecommerce Manager and CMS. It is fully data led and allows the staff at Electrical247 greater freedom of expression than some other systems. It is an almost completely autonomous business.

"Peter and the Net Island team have proven to be invaluable in the setting up and in the advice they have given. I have worked with Net Island on two significant projects and cannot sing their praises enough. Throughout the consultation stage and into site construction the communication has been excellent and timely, the response to questions and requests have always been quick and professional.

In fact, as Electrical 247 is new and still finding it’s way in the world wide web, the on going support has been second to none, the relationship that Net Island encourages is one of partnership and has left me feeling that I have found a friend in Peter. 

Should you be in the market for superlative web design and digital communication at an extremely reasonable and competitive cost then do not hesitate in working with Net Island UK

Durham County Council's Area Action Partnership approached Net Island with a firm and clear idea to produce an events and activity website. The first of several of these sites is Chester-le-Live. With no original concept, but a brightly conceived brief, we went ahead and created what is now one of the County's fastest growing activities site. And, although still very much in it's infancy, is already becoming a trusted source for the County.

It provides a platform for organisation and groups from all over the area to promote their activities and events. Moreover, the site is preparing to launch their online forums for individuals and residents in County Durham to be able to have an active part of it. This way, it is believed, the service will also become a clearly important community tool.

We have also been included in the consultation process for the roll out of other such projects, and we have been chosen as Chester-le-Live's Promotional Partners online, actively addressing the future growth and needs of the service across County Durham

Getting hits on your website is not an easy task to achieve. However when we were looking for a good deal on web design and site development, Net Island were by far the most competitive. 

We needed to launch a new product (our website) and gain as much impact as possible, and Peter has helped us achieve just that.  The hits on our website have increased substantially over the last 12 months.

From concept to live status, the support Net Island have given us has been simply indispensable.

Thank you Peter for the very fair price and all the assistance you have provided over the last year, we look forward to working with you far into the future.

Surf Masters are one of the UK's biggest and finest surf board makers. With almost 20 years of experience, the one thing they really wanted to do as the 21st century progressed was to renew their image. So, they came to us.

We have created a new logo, style, online template and corporate ID for their Surf Master brand.

"There was something different about the way Net Island did things. They actually wanted to know about me and my business. And when I met Peter, he was so enthusiastic about the whole affair, it was an instant match. We knew then that we would be working with him.

And here we are, with a new look and a website that is the bees knees. We love it.

One of the things we wanted Net Island to do was create for us was a fun, bright, airy logo that could be used across all of our promotional material. And with Net Island, we have all of that.

I can't be sure if we will ever get Net Island's Peter, David or Carole in the water, but they are certainly a very professional, decent and hard working team. In fact, everyone we've worked with at Net Island have given us just what we wanted. Attention, a sensational product and a better understanding of how and where to take our business online in the future.

Thank you Net Island. We have absolutely no doubt that you won't find a better web company. To anyone reading this, we recommend them very highly.

Since we first launched our first Wedding Day package this year, Net Island Wedding Websites are proving incredibly popular. And it's proof that we really do work on every scale and every budget.

When Malcolm Derry contacted us wanting a wedding day site for his sister and her groom as a wedding gift, we asked when the big day was. It turned out that this was a last minute idea. So, in just a few days, we had discussed, worked a design, and was ready to go live with the Mr and Mrs Duffy website.

"I contacted Peter at Net Island and we were discussing the website and how to create it in just a few days - within minutes we had a plan and were ready to work at it. I then left it to Peter and the team at Net Island. It turned out to be the easiest of tasks for me. i supplied as much info about my sis and her new husband to be and Net island did the rest. Simple.

I have had so many wonderful comments about this website and I'm delighted with it. And as far as the service I received from Net Island. It was incredible. Love the design, love the website, love the service.

The brother of the bride.

When Tony Purves first approached us for a website, it was the first time he'd ever taken his new business online. With the costs of brochures and printing higher than he wanted to pay, and because he wanted to reach as many people as possible, and give his new customers a one stop view at his company's work, a website of distinction was the order of the day.

The brochure site attracts a large interest and has now become the business's premier stream for attracting new clients.

"I had really no idea what I wanted when I first asked Net Island to create a new website. That point alone rather scared me. But I needn't have worried.

The way Net Island took lead of the entire project and completed the task was excellent. I met Peter at his office and we went through everything - things I'd never had thought of on my own.

Now, our website is an asset that we would be hard pressed to be without. The excellent way the whole thing took shape was all down to the professionalism of Net Island. It would not be an understatement to say that I could not have done this without them.

Very good, very fast and very competitive.

Waldridge Parish put out an appeal, via their newsletter, for help regarding the set up and assistance of their new website. Peter lived in the parish and contacted them.

The result is a local online facility that helps the Parish Council stay up to speed with the residents and visitors, and vice versa. It's also a very popular parish asset for those within the parish.

"Waldridge Parish Council needed to get a website up and running, I didn't know where to start with it all.  I advertised in our newsletter for help from anyone living in the area.

Peter Graham from Net Island contacted me and said he would be happy to help out.  He set up the website and emails, he has always been at an end of the email, so any problems I have uncounted, he has managed to sort out for us very quickly.

We would not have managed without Peter and Net Island.  Many thanks to you all for your wonderful work.  Our website has grown into a much used asset in our Parish.

One of our specialalities here at Net Island UK is radio station websites. We've created many of them over the year and have developed a CMS that works particularly well with this kind of operation. Over the past few years, we've worked with commercial and community stations in the UK and overseas. Stations, including Kiss 10, Dune FM, Cheshire FM, Digital Music Radio, Breeze Radio, and more, have all benefited from our stylish media sites.

We are now working with Stream Radio UK, a new digital radio station planning a soft launch later this year. Our brief is to provide a first class, fully client updatable website that will deliver a superb end user, renewable content based web service with slick graphics and interface.

Ben Jameson is one of the UK's best loved late night radio presenters, having worked at stations all over the world. We have worked with Ben for many years. This will, in fact, be our fourth complete online presence for the late night radio presenter.

We have created a 'hub' for his show fans and listeners to tune in and interact with the show. Ben, also affectionately known by his listeners as simply 'LazyB', wanted something visually stunning. A unique online place for him and his late night troupe to hang out together. This time around, we've created a theme like no other. A place to chat, listen, choose and part take.

Welcome to a brand new concept, created by Net Island. Welcome to 'The land Of LazyB'.

"Since 2005, I have entrusted Net Island with my web presence. It's a relationship that I hold dear to me, simply because the level of quality work and support i get from them is insurmountable.

The Land Of LazyB is everything I wanted it to be. Stunning visuals and incredible interaction. I cannot tell you how delighted I am once again with the work of the team at Net Island.

I think I should also mention the level of out of hours support they give. I have made request for support in the past at silly o'clock, and even so, have always been amazed that they really do offer 24 hour help.

This is my fourth website designed and looked after by Peter and the team. the idea that I would even consider anyone else is ridiculous. They deliver supreme design, superb quality, take care of all my hosting needs and offer the best support imaginable.

Anyone looking at a new online presence should seriously stopping by and talking to Net Island. Exceptional in every way,

Ben Jameson,
Media Presenter and the proud owner of The land Of LazyB

In development, this is a very exciting new Stylized Fashion Brand from Pierre M. Frey. When we were asked to design a website for the future release, we got exceptionally excited. This is an already iconic brand in many parts of Europe, so we were understandably thrilled to be chosen to help roll out the new Net Island Inspired SomeThing idea here in the UK. Fresh, invigorating and ready for some serious attitude, this is a step towards sexy fashion conscious anarchy. The website will be launched autumn 2012
