I've had the pleasure of working with the team at J B Cole for over a year now. The team has a wealth of knowledge in this space and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend J B Cole to my network.
I selected J B Cole for the development and build of our parent company website. The project was executed flawlessly and they have since become my go-to web partners.
Things are moving fast at Rezzil and it’s imperative for us that we work with a partner that is not only aligned with our vision, but understands the pace at which we need to make changes and who can respond quickly.
Having worked with Josh and the team at J B Cole on a number of successful client projects, it made sense to use a partner who we knew and trusted, when we wanted to refresh our own website.
With J B Cole’s help, we have been able to keep the organisation both digitally agile and flexible – with the full confidence that we have a stable website and that we can adapt to whatever the world throws at us.
