Recent projects

Matthew Roberts : Holmfirth Town Juniors FC

Knowing Bob as one of our “football Dads”, whose son plays for our Community Football Club Holmfirth Town Junior FC, we asked Bob if, using his expertise, he would design a new website for the Club.

What we now have is a brilliant bespoke, real time, simple to use website which does a fantastic job of showcasing our club both internally, to our parents and children, as well as externally to potential new players wanting to see what our great club is all about.

Bob has an “anything is possible“ and “nothing is too much to ask” demeanor which made it a pleasure to work with him on this project prior to going live and on an ongoing basis.

Matthew Broadbent : Broadbent Surveyors

Bob has provided us with a wide range front end web and design services over the last 5 years. These services range from designing stationery through to re-vamping our current website. Last year, we instructed Bob to specifically optimise our site for mobiles and tablets. He turned this work around within a few days and it was carried out to his usual high standards. I would not hesitate to recommend him to others.

Rick Garnett : RF Media

Bob has been a reliable supplier to RF Media on several occasions and has worked with us on numerous projects. His expertise and efficiency make it a pleasure to have him as part of our project team, knowing that what we ask of him will be completed on time and to the highest standard. He is able to offer advice and pertinent solutions to project issues that may be fully relied upon. We would have no problem in recommending Bob to other companies in our sector.

Anne-Marie Johnson : Creative Exchange

The logo that Bob produced for my business, Creative Exchange, is contemporary, vibrant and upbeat. Bob has a natural talent for design and he combines this with a positive professional approach.

His creative ideas began flowing a few minutes into our initial conversation. He then went on to turn the work around in just two days, consulting me at various points. I am delighted with both the end result and of the overall service provided.

Richard Hyde : Photolink

I worked with Bob during my time at Photolink Creative Group and cannot commend him highly enough. As far as front end developers go, in my opinion, they don’t come any better than Bob. His attention to detail is meticulous and he always ensures that the build is as close to the design as physically possible. On top of this, his builds are always thoroughly cross-browser tested and always adhere to W3C CSS validation.

His skills stretch well beyond XHTML and CSS and he is also an expert in Flash and ActionScript too, which was fantastic for me as a flash designer working along side him. He’s also a thoroughly nice chap to boot, and an absolute pleasure to work with.

Adrian Davies : Winning Moves

We have used Bob Spencer on many projects over the years, ranging from straightforward HTML coding to complex Flash animation. What is unique about Bob is his ability to develop his skills to new challenges; a good example being the development of a new software tool we wanted to prototype. Bob was able to use his Adobe knowledge to rapidly prototype a piece of software; reducing the lead time from months to weeks. It is certainly a technique we will use again.

Kay Carter : Photolink

I worked with Bob whilst at Photolink, both as a colleague and on a freelance basis. Bob is very reliable and always delivered projects on time and to the appropriate specification. His work is of a very high standard and I would not hesitate in recommending him.

Caroline Hirst : Aspiral Development Ltd

I would like to thank Bob for creating a wonderful website for me. I went to Bob with a vision for my website. This vision was in the form of a large sheet of paper with lots of blue spirals, some furn and a sunflower drawn on it. From this simple drawing Bob was able to translate my vision into a website which far exceeded my expectations. He was able to guide me through each step of the way with non technical language which I understood and I’m absolutely delighted with the end result. I would thoroughly recommend Bob to anyone with or without a vision for their website.

Claudia Russell : Handsfree US

It is a pleasure to have the opportunity to work with Bob. He is a creative professional who brings constant ideas that help move us to the next level. His confidence and ability to think outside of the box to enhance and deliver the best ideas/solutions are second to none. He is not just a Partner, he is an extension of our business. I look forward to working with Bob for years to come.

Mike Johnson : General Manager (Pricing & Analytics) at Portland Fuel

We have been working with Bob for a number of years, initially looking to re-develop our website. Since then, Bob has been an integral part of all subsequent development, including a complex project setting up a subscription/login based data platform with an integrated e-commerce package.

This project in particular saw a number of significant hurdles overcome as a result of Bob’s thorough research and dedication.

I would recommend Bob very highly; he is responsive, his designs are creative and the quality of work he has produced is always completed to a high standard. Overall, he has been a pleasure to deal with.
