"DS1 Design created the original website about 5 ago for Castle Ridge Construction. We decided to make some marketing changes based on a proposal presented to us from another company. Worst decision we could have made. We were not provided what was promised. We cancelled that and have come back to DS1 Design. We have a great new website and a wonderful marketing plan in place with DS1 Design. In fact the first day the new site went live we received a request for a quote. It is a pleasure to work with Alex as he is accommodating, has great ideas and a professional yet friendly manner. He listens and understands what we are looking for and provides his expert advice and suggestions to achieve our desired results. We look forward to our continued relationship with Alex and his team at DS1 Design."

"Alex Charlton and his team have designed Medair's web-site, brochures, conference display booth (with video displays) and is now providing this all in a French version... at short notice. We have retained his services repeatedly and 100% of all our requests have been met to the absolute highest level of service. He is also always on time, creative and provides his services at fair value. I would recommend Alex for any project he offers to take on. Above all, he's nice to work with :)"

Andy Davies, Managing Director, Medair Life Science Transport Solutions

"I had been working with DS1 Design for several years, hosting my sites canadahifi.com and taveshow.com, as my site was implemented with Wordpress, I decided I no longer required DS1's managed hosting and switched to GoDaddy in order to increase my bottom line. At first the service seemed fast and customer friendly but I definitely did not read the fine print! A few short months later, service slowed, support was lacking and my site was actually unreachable to many of my customers and colleagues. So, with much hesitation I called Alex at DS1 Design and asked him for his help - which he was quite happy to offer. Alex matched the price and service provided by GoDaddy and facilitated a painless transfer back to his server, offering some software and hardware upgrades in the process. I am very thankful for the level of professionalism and service demonstratred by DS1 Design in this and all situations. I would not hesitate to recommend them to support and manage your online presence"

Suave Kajko, Westside Publishing Ltd.

"I had the opportunity to work with Alex at DS1 Design for the implementation of our customized content management platform. I was surprised at the ease of use and the effortless adaptation for our specific business needs. It allowed me to easily add and manage content and create a robust presence for our company.Down the road, due to circumstance, we were required to implement a Wordpress content management solution for another web site for our business. This being my first exposure to Wordpress (and second exposure to web content management) I was shocked at how much more difficult is was to use, as I had been spoiled by the personalization of the DS1 system. I would strongly recommend engaging DS1 Design for your content management needs as their attention to detail, customization and managed approach helps enable myself and our business on a daily basis. Keep up the great work."
