They have taken our rebranded assets and created a digital presence that not only showcases who we are today, but also what we aspire to be as a brand in the future too. Every aspect of the process was carefully considered and it created a great amount of peace of mind knowing our website was in safe hands. Thank you to Eve, Brad and Mark for their hard work especially.

I couldn’t recommend the Platform 81 team enough. They’ve been looking after our website for over 10 years and truly take the time to understand our business needs. Their services are constantly evolving, keeping us ahead of the competition.Callie, our account manager, is a star! She provides monthly SEO reports and a detailed breakdown of the tasks the team are working on. Our regular Teams meetings give me the chance to check in and share updates about anything new in the business.It’s great to see how the SEO reports correlate with our business turnover — we’ve recently had our busiest month to date, and the website data reflects this perfectly.

The service from Platform81 has been exceptional from start to finish - they work more collaboratively than most website/tech firms, building up a great relationship with both your Brand and your team/people, and it is reflected in better results than we could have imagined. Oli in particular is FANTASTIC, I've never seen a more seamless go-live happen and his efficiency, training and assistance have been brilliant throughout.JillBrave Bold Brilliant
