Client Testimonials

"Thanks to BBC World Service, Sky News, The Times and others our last expedition went out to an estimated 160 million people globally, and I suspect Heart of Arabia will have an even greater outreach. For this project we needed someone who could offer a quality, truly bespoke service, and who was open to capturing and developing ever evolving ideas from multiple sources. Working with Hayley at Capercaillie has been a seamless and very positive experience".
“Thorough, comprehensive and with great attention to detail! I asked Hayley to do some work on a website I'd created to make it work better for me and the audience I was after. Within days of Hayley working on the site I could see a difference in the search engine results. She's great at explaining in lay language what I need to know to improve the public facing side of my business. Friendly, approachable with a real 'can-do' attitude, Hayley makes generating an online presence feel easy, accessible and much, much less complicated!”
Pennie Stuart
Hayley provides a first class service and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her. She takes the time to get to know you and your product so she can give your website the appropriate feel and nothing is ever too much trouble. She creates wonderful websites that 'hang together' very well due to her knowledge and patience.
