We are absolutely delighted with our brand new website for Howcrofts Funeral Services, thanks to Gemma and the team at CMS. From the very beginning, Gemma has been a joy to work with — efficient, kind, and endlessly professional. She really took the time to understand our business, our values, and the sensitivity required in our profession, and translated that into a beautiful, easy-to-navigate website that truly reflects who we are. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and her attention to detail shone through at every stage. Gemma’s efficiency kept everything moving smoothly, her kindness made the whole process stress-free, and her professionalism has given us a website we are incredibly proud of. We couldn’t recommend her highly enough.

We approached Gemma & Martin to revitalise a tired website, that was long over due. We had an initial brainstorm meeting to assess what we wanted and needed and the guys cracked on with it! They worked with our marketer and graphic designer through the whole process to ensure we were always on the same page, offering advice and alternative solutions where required. Always available throughout the process to make updates, the finished project was a result of great team work, professionalism and great comms form the CMS Live team. We loved the results and it seems users already do too! More than happy to recommend Gemma & Martin

Joanne - Marketing Manager, BB Skip Hire

Liaising with Martin and Gemma at CMS Live Web Specialists around the creation of of new website was a pleasure at every stage. From the initial discussions about what we were looking for, all the way through to making the website live, they were professional, creative, and thorough, making the whole process extremely easy. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anybody looking to create or amend their website.

Neil Ballantyne, Wells Electrical, Preston

I’ve been working with CMS Live now for a number of years now and the service and support we receive has been nothing short of exceptional. They look after my websites and emails so I don’t have to think about them and I can concentrate on my business. This year, CMS Live have built me our first mobile responsive website which has already seen an increase in mobile orders and better search results – in turn my customers are finding it easier to order, they are happy and so am I. CMS Live also take care of my ecommerce website hosting, email hosting, technical support and also provide me with their marketing expertise, sending email newsletter campaigns and offline branding. I recommend CMS Live to anybody looking for assistance with their own website or marketing requirements.

Highly Recommend, Fantastic Service From Start To Finish. Recently helped us to create our new website. Didn't have any Particular ideas on how we wanted it to look.

The finished website exceeded all our expectations. We couldn’t be happier and have already recommended them to others.

April Manning, Digital Communications Manager

Martin and Gemma at CMSLive have been ‘exceptional’ in their ability to understand and support with my lack of knowledge around web development and SEO optimization. As somebody who is naive to web design and IT they have been patient, in my times of fear, questioning and literally ‘holding’ me in a place of safety around the guidance with what would work for my business, my own process as a therapist; but most of all they acknowledged that when starting your own business, it can be daunting and over whelming to which they offered me space to be vocal( when fearful and unsure) and guided me when they knew I was being misled. ‘A light in dark places, when it seems all others had gone out’…. Throughout the day/evenings they have been reliable, steadfast to their word and support. I would most definitely recommend them especially if your new to the ‘business process’ they offer you a kindness and a guidance that many creators wouldn’t.

Imogen Hg-Johnson, Owner People of Worth Psychotherapy

Gemma and Martin were fabulous from start to finish, very professional. I loved working with them on my website and loved their designs and even though we were in lockdown they kept in touch regular and helped me a lot as it was all very new to me. I chose them because they have a fabulous portfolio and I love supporting local businesses. Even their aftercare is second to none and I can’t thank them enough. I would highly recommend them to anyone thank you CMS Live.

Ruth Tunesi, Owner Ruby's Rascals

CMS Live were recommended to us through a joint business partner and we haven’t been disappointed. They have met our deadlines and understood what we wanted. We are looking forward to working with them on more projects in the future.

Mark Attwell - Operations Director, Matthew Kibble Transport

The guys at CMS have provided us with a professional, personal and very reliable service during the design, build and ongoing development of our website. A first rate service.

Matthew Walker - Donald Lomax & Partners

CMS have hosted my old website for 3 years. It really needed a overhaul and to be fit for purpose. I am under no illusion, I am picky and hard work!! 🤣 Gemma was so patient with me and totally understood what I needed from the website. It looks amazing and works so well. Thanks so much!!!

Danielle Coates, Owner

Martin at CMS always does an amazing job for us. He is really easy to deal with and gets on with the job nice and quickly. He always prices things fairly too. I highly recommend CMS Live.

Adam Turner - Director

We first started working with Martin, Gemma and the CMS Live team back in 2016, initially with our websites. It has always been important to HAPPA and Shores Hey Farm to work with local suppliers and representatives; to involve the community in the work of the Charity and its aims. Since then our working relationship has flourished and their understanding of our needs meant that in 2018 we approached them to design our bi-annual Members’ Magazine. We needed to find a team who would take into the consideration the needs of our readers, to cohesively bring together the two brands of Shores Hey Farm and HAPPA, in a modern, yet sympathetic, design. The publication has gone from strength to strength since then. Many of our regular readers have commented on the fantastic new look of the Magazine and have enjoyed reading the new styled content. I believe a lot of this is down to the communication between us and CMS Live. They understand what is needed of an article, how it will best look on a page and how that will fit in with the flow of the detailed reports from all the contributors to the publication. We have a great pattern set up for sending and receiving information and for amendments and changes which are always delivered efficiently within our timeframes. More recently CMS Live have been involved in designing a proportion of our new marketing artwork from leaflets that are distributed to attract tourists to Shores Hey Farm, to a flyer to advertise Birthday Party Packages, to a banner to advertise the Sponsorship Scheme, they have produced a range of products that deal with the versatility of the two brands to deliver any message in an attractive, well designed product.

Julie Pharaoh-Gan, HAPPA

We needed to update our website and CMS Live provided exactly what we needed. Without any fuss or drama our new website was built and the transition from our old provider worked perfectly. Thank you for the great work!

David Morgan - Blackburn & Blackburn The Accountants Online

We’re absolutely delighted with our new website. The brief was very intricate with a number of different functions being required both within the live website and off site for the future. It was really important to ensure the site is future proof in the fast changing face of digital marketing and technology. The team at CMS Live have excelled once again in going above and beyond our customer service expectations.

Charlotte Pickup - Marketing Manager, Barnfield Construction

CMS have recently re-built me a new website – They were very professional and went out of their way to learn our industry with knowledge to built the site. They were extremely patient when it came to changes I wanted to make. The website is exactly how I wanted it. They have also designed some social media images for us to use – their turnaround is great and very fast compared to other design companies I have used. Would highly recommend them.

Jenna Tattersall, First European Logistics

CMS Live have been part of our team since we launched the Mancini clothing brand. They have helped us create an online presence with our fantastic website and all the technical bits that go with it, our online branding, Google shopping ads, social media and email marketing. They are always on hand to answer any questions, listen to our ideas and offer their advice. They continue to help grow our brand and look forward to continuing our working partnership into the future.

I’ve worked with various web developers over the years, but now work exclusively with CMS Live thanks to their great combination of value and reliability. The work they have done for me has not only always been of high quality, but also delivered on time, and on budget – two rarities in the industry in my previous experience! I would highly recommend their services.”

Simon Wyhatt - Owner

The team at CMS Live have now created 4 websites on our behalf and we are extremely pleased with the creativity and technical knowledge applied from concept to creation.

I would without hesitation recommend CMS Live to anyone wishing to create an online presence for their business to grow.

Charlotte Pickup, Marketing Manager Barnfield Construction

CMS Live have been an amazing help to both sides of our business, helping to sort our our existing golf equipment site that was in a mess with security issues due to previous bad management. Martin was extremely patient with us as we had little knowledge of how these things worked and taught us lots of the basics so we could resolve some issues on our own – not an easy task – he deserves a medal! Then following on he used our existing site to create a template for a completely new workwear site and liaised with our suppliers in Sweden on our behalf to create data files to enable us to use their catalogue of products which is proving to be successful. CMS Live is what every business needs that does not have its own in house IT & Web team – they have proved to be trustworthy, diligent and efficient and i would not hesitate to recommend! We use them now on a monthly basis to keep out sites secure and up to date.

Emma Withnell, Fristads Workwear UK

CMS have done a brilliant job of designing a new website for our business. We had an image of what we wanted to achieve for the site and put the ideas across to the team at CMS. They went above and beyond, combining our ideas and putting their own spin on things to make it a great website. They completely exceeded our expectations and we would highly recommend their services to anyone.

We contacted CMS Live as we needed a new website that was going to stand out from the crowd and showcase our work, as well as being interactive for the people we support. After several meetings and many creative tweaks it happened! We spoke to Gemma regularly who was very patient with our many tweaks and edits and she wanted us to “love” our website, which we do. The service is very professional and nothing is too much to ask for. I would recommend CMS Live to anyone who wants a website that truly stands out. CMS have delivered exactly what we wanted and more!

Being a new business and learning every day how time consuming, just trying to get a business up and running is, I found the help and professionalism from Gemma & Martin excellent.

I am now very happy and already seeing the benefits of an exciting and eye catching new web site.
