Testimonials
We are very lucky to have kind words shared by our clients, here are a few:
Toby and Elaine have had a massive impact on our website. They have managed to transform the website, giving it a more modern look whilst also greatly increasing speed and performance. Most of all, they have allowed us to fully utilise our e-commerce potential, allowing our learners to register and pay for classes on one website easily. This has substantially improved the learners experience when it comes to registration but has also meant that the administration associated with registration for us has been simplified and automated.

They're a dream to work with. We had a wide range of infrastructure problems: from databases running on legacy setups to new SSO integrations. Whatever we threw at them, Tosbourn were methodical about diagnosing the issue, proposing a clear solution, then working through it step-by-step and documenting everything along the way.
Most importantly, they freed up headspace on our side: they always kept us in the loop and knew when to get our input, but for the most part we could focus on other things while they cheerfully fixed our mess.

We were recommended to use Tosbourn Ltd for some revisions and updates to our website.
Elaine Osbourn not only responded with a fast and efficient service, providing us with several options for managing and maintaining our website but she also identified some areas of security and software improvements that have extended the 'life' of our existing website.
All this was provided at a very reasonable fee.
We will not hesitate to use Elaine for our next website project and to continue to seek her advice on how to keep our site up to date so that we continue to improve the User Experience for visitors to our website.
