Testimonials

Sextons Place

I came to ACT Studios not really knowing exactly what I wanted, but from the very start they listened to my ideas and went on to create a website which far exceeded my hopes and expectations.
Every member of the team has such an in-depth knowledge of their subject matter and they were always on hand to provide guidance and advice in the most patient and kind manner, which made for a very enjoyable experience.
They will tell you that they’re not happy with the end result until you are, and it’s true. I am hugely grateful for all the time and effort they put into making my website and one that I am extremely proud of. Thank you to everyone at ACT Studios, your service is without fault and I cannot recommend you highly enough to anyone thinking about creating their own website.

All my queries were answered promptly.

Burlton Cottages

From start to finish NOTHING was too much trouble for ACT. Their photographer took amazing shots of all our facilities. The new website was then created which was fresh, appealing, easy to use with all the right technical gizmo’s (not my area of expertise) to ensure that it ranked well on search engines. Guests love the website and I love it as it has everything I need on there to promote my cottages and I can make minor changes myself. ACT listened and did exactly what I wanted. A brilliant team. Thank you!

Rachel Mee, Burlton Cottages

Llanfendigaid Estate

Produced great photos and excellent 3D Tours. They then did an excellent website to exploit these with quick updates when required especially over the difficult COVID period. And they also provided consultancy assistance with digital marketing which was very useful. I rate their support and execution highly.
