Testimonials

Here are some of the testimonials freely offered by our clients, prospective clients and peers.

"I needed to set up a company and create a Web presence at very short notice. I had absolutely no idea how to go about it, but Leta was able to guide me very efficiently and professionally through the different steps. I found Leta receptive to my requirements and inputs, while putting forward her own suggestions and ideas well. I later realised how well she managed to steer me away from my normal conservative tendencies during the process of designing the company colours and logo, web site layout and graphics and company brochure. The rapid progress really got me fired up and motivated to develop the content. I am based in Switzerland and Leta in New Zealand, so we did everything by email with one or two telephone conversations. Two weeks from start to web site live! I am very happy with the end result and will definitely recommend Leta and Goosetree Web Design.
Pierre Durandt, Sumbion AG, Cham, Switzerland.
"What can I say about Goose Tree Web Design, once you get over the visual image of a goose stuck up a tree and tune in to Leta's advice and recommendations you quickly realise you're dealing with someone who knows what web development is all about. Countless websites now inhabit the world wide web and it's growing daily so you need to rely on your web developer to know what needs to be done to lift your website above the rest. Looks, accessibility, navigation, search engine optimisation, I had little idea about the many factors that influence a great website, luckily Leta did and what's more she also had a very clear understanding of what I wanted. The end result was a great site but I do still worry about that goose."
Scott Mouat, ELWIN Productions, Dunedin, New Zealand.
"I recently had a web site developed by Goose Tree Web design and would totally recommend this business and its owner Leta to others. A pre-requisite for me was to have a site which was accessible for people with a disability and from my searching of web developer options, Goose Tree Web Design was the only developer that appeared to have an understanding of and willingness to work to the World Accessibility Guidelines. I would like to thank Leta for her professionalism, knowledge and creativity. Also for her patience in explaining each step of the process, and for going the extra distance to ensure the end product more than met the specifications."
Marina Hanger, Ability Adventures, Dunedin, New Zealand.
"I am impressed... The site is most certainly taking a good shape. The sound files are great!"

"You're wonderful, thank you, it looks great, and I like the letterhead... such style."

"I love your website!"
Comment by Carrie Feiner, Concert Manager for pianist Sara Buechner, Scarsdale, USA, to the management of the Southern Sinfonia.
"I found this business to be outstanding in meeting our needs. Leta (the owner) was efficient, helpful and creative in designing our new website. More importantly Goose Tree Web Design was the ONLY web developer I could find in Dunedin who provided web sites that met accessibility standards for people with disabilities. Leta and I worked together to develop the new website and at all times she was professional, friendly and very enjoyable to work with. She came to my work place and met with me regularly to keep me continuously updated on each stage of the development of our new website. Leta explained exactly what she was doing at all times and the reasons for any changes in the website design. Her rates were very reasonable and we continue to work with her as we update our website. Her service provision was outstanding and I can't recommend her enough to other clients seeking a professional and high quality web developer. A completely positive experience."
