Baker Coaching Services
"Jane’s brief was to design my website from scratch. I wanted an image that reflected the values of my business and captured the essence of what I stand for. I wanted a site that was professional yet personal, clear and easy to navigate and to be informative.

Jane more than fulfilled my expectations; she was thorough and meticulous, gave me constructive suggestions to improve the content and even helped with my logo. With my limited knowledge of SEO Jane also took my content and structured each page to maximise my rankings where possible. She managed the complete brief professionally and with great customer service. I had a holding page up within an hour to coincide with a press release launch; then the completed web site was completed promptly. I continue to receive very positive feedback and comments about my site." - Jennifer Baker

Rather than waste months struggling down the DIY route, I’ve now got a really professional internet presence, in the space of just three weeks. Best of all, everyone I’ve shown it to (magazine editors, publishers and PR types) all unanimously agree it’s pretty darn impressive." - Liz Walker
