From initial brief to job completion, every step of the process was smooth. From word go I felt Sam really understood my requirements, he is an excellent communicator which was particularly important considering we are located on opposite sides of the globe (New Zealand - Ireland). As well as creating a site that is perfect for my business, he has left me with the tools I need to operate my store. I can't recommend Sam highly enough. " - Jennifer

Clarkson Design was the only web designer I found that truly listened to me and understood my website brief. It was really important for me to learn how to manage and maintain my own site and Sam instructed me how to do this well.

Sam and Emily's expert advice and experience in the fashion industry was priceless and I valued their opinion and input at all times. They offer an exceptional service and delivered my site in the designated timeframe.

Sam was so easy to deal with and I would recommend him 10 times over to anyone looking to build a website " - Cici

Anneke Nahkies

In July 2020 I engaged Sam to build me a Shopify site. I was looking for a vehicle to display the reworked pointe shoes I have been creating as part of my recovery from complex mental health issues. I also wanted my website to act as a blog – and to have seamless connections with my Instagram and Facebook pages.

Sam has delivered in spades. He was very flexible to deal with, especially as during much of the time I was unwell. He gave me a clear, well-structured quote and delivered each step as agreed. He was willing to work with the artwork I gave him and the video instructions he supplied gave me confidence to make changes as needed.

Thank you, Sam, for all your hard work. I would recommend you to anyone." - Anneke

Little Red Pen

Sam and Emily from Clarkson Design did an amazing job on my new website. The brief I gave them was short on specifics (“something simple and elegant”, I think I said) and when I had my first look it was nothing like I expected and yet exactly what I wanted. They were patient and creative. They listened, then they made it real. " - Mary

As a Fashion Photographer I’d been running with an outdated website that didn’t do justice to my work and was difficult for me to maintain.

Sam was fantastic to work with, he understood my requirements and delivered two beautifully designed websites that I’m proud to show off to my clients and social media followers. " - Camille
