Case studies

Martin Woolford, Managing Partner Location Estate Agents
Location Property screengrab“We are absolutely delighted with our new website. It looks so professional and ‘fresh’, it is just what we wanted. Crocstar handled the whole project from start to finish with energy, creativity and professionalism. We have such limited experience of the design and ‘teckie’ stuff but we felt in brilliantly competent hands with the Crocstar team. It was great to be able to discuss our wants and wishes to start with and then leave them to come up with such a great site, yet with being able to offer our own input throughout – without feeling like an idiot! The feedback from clients has been superb. You’re the best, guys!”

Lily Valley screengrab“Christine and Hadrian were fantastic, I’m a complete nunce when it comes to computers and websites so they had a bit of a blank page with me! But they listened to all my ideas and looked at my childlike drawings and came up with a site that I’m thrilled with. Even when I asked for a different font to be used, that Christine recommended against, they didn’t get annoyed when I wanted it changing back! And as for the after care, well… Christine recorded step by step tutorials for me on how to administer my site plus she typed out written instructions and even I can follow them! A great partnership and very patient with all requests, no matter how mad!”

They understood what I wanted and weren’t afraid to throw around some ideas of their own to help things along. The experience of them creating my site and content was such an enjoyable one, I just wish I had more sites that I wanted building! Thank you both!”

“I asked Christine to sort out my SEO… and she got my website from page 7 to the first page on Google. Great result!”

Jackie Thompson Couture screengrab“Christine can communicate! She can speak in “website” language that I can understand! She gently took me by the hand and led me from an out of date website to a state of the art one. She introduced me to experts, Karl at Silver Birch who re-branded me, Hadrian at Crocstar who dealt with all the technical issues that I could never hope to understand and of course Christine herself who wrote wonderful words for my website. It was a very pleasant experience and I cannot thank the whole team at Crocstar enough, I think my website is wonderful.”

Warren Chrismas, Editor, Yahoo! UK & Ireland
Yahoo screengrab“Christine was part of the out-of-hours team responsible for updating the editorial content on the front pages of two of the UK’s busiest websites, Yahoo! and BT Yahoo!. The job is extremely demanding, requiring first-class copywriting skills, creativity, accuracy and more, all tested in a live environment.

“We set extremely high standards – and Christine surpassed them. She showed a good understanding of users, and was adept at absorbing information and following complex instructions. I’d have no hesitation in employing Christine again, or recommending her to others.”

Lisa Charlton, Marketing Manager, Workmoose Recruitment sites
“Whenever I need help with creative writing or developing a marketing communication strategy, I approach Christine as her work is dynamic, fresh and sells!

“Christine is a great copywriter and has really taken the time to understand our business, objectives and target audience. She delivers quality work at speed and to budget and usually within the first draft!”

Sue Keogh, Director, Sookio Limited
“Christine has a knack for producing sharp, entertaining copy – whilst always keeping her eye on those trivial little things like house style guides, legal issues and deadlines. She’s just the sort of positive, enthusiastic and creative editor I would recommend to other clients – in fact I already have!”

Clare Hudson, Interactive editor Radio 2 & 6 Music, BBC
“Christine is a great asset to any interactive team – a well-organised producer, good writer, and a confident, enthusiastic communicator.”
