Steps Charity was delighted to work with Scruffymonkey Web Design to develop our new website. Due to lots of information, links and downloads on the site, it took us considerable time to pull it all together but Scruffymonkey were extremely helpful and patient.
The site has been very well received by our beneficiaries and we are looking forward to working alongside Scruffymonkey as they continue to support the maintenance of the site.

When we were looking for a new website provider and a complete redesign, Scruffy Monkey ticked all the boxes. Their pricing was very reasonable, and Chris and Lin made the whole process easy and straightforward.

Scruffy Monkey was highly recommended to me as I struggled to relaunch my outdated website. They made the process so much more bearable and manageable and produced a site that exceeded my hopes. It has been up for 6 months and I'm gaining enquiries, making it worthwhile. Also, any updates and blogs are added so quickly. I now also highly recommend Scruffy Monkey!

We had a great experience working with Scruffymonkey on our company website redesign. The team were personable, professional and friendly and we really enjoyed working with them through the whole project. The content capture process made everything clear and straightforward and allowed us to go at our own pace whilst still feeling supported and that they were just a 'comment box' away if we had any questions and we'd receive a really quick response- much easier than going back and forward with emails or calls. Chris regularly checked in and provided guidance video's to talk us through the different stages in the process which were very helpful.
We always felt confident in their expertise and had full faith letting them take the lead with the new site design.
The final design is excellent and we’re so pleased with the result. We'd highly recommend Scruffymonkey to anyone looking to redesign or create their website- Thanks team!

As a model club, we needed an accessible platform where our members could review club events and shows, as well as a visual showcase for members’ completed models that visitors could easily view.
From our very first meeting with the Scruffymonkey team, the process was a fantastic learning experience. They helped us refine our ideas and translate our needs into a clear vision for the new website.
Scruffymonkey quickly moved into development, maintaining regular communication and offering expert suggestions on how to achieve the best results. Before long, they presented us with a draft version of the site, which we reviewed together before making final adjustments.
To our surprise, the Scruffymonkey team enjoyed working with us so much that one of the owners joined the club.
It was a truly outstanding experience delivered by an exceptional team, and we cannot thank them enough.
