Recommendations

Wij houden van simpele sites die mooi en helder zijn en die zonder omwegen doen wat ze moeten doen. Dankzij de samenwerking met Linksmith hebben we met een klein budget precies zo'n site kunnen neerzetten voor onze opdrachtgever.
Let it dance: website building is a taxing work both for a programmer and a client. Yet with Linksmith, this can be like dancing. When problems are solutions.
Samenwerken met Jeremy
is elke keer een positief en wederkerig proces. Hij denkt mee in oplossingen. Realistisch. Efficient. Met veel plezier en een "can do" mentaliteit, zonder de uiteenlopende wensen van ons of onze klanten uit het oog te verliezen.
