Dear Monkey’s,

We are so glad that you speak our language.

When we entered the business jungle we looked a little tired, outdated and we were getting the wrong responses to our cry.

Thankfully, after hearing our sadden cry, you got to work on bringing us up to date with the right tools that enabled us to heard. – Better still you helped us to be noticed by the right jungle dwellers.

Monkey’s – Jungle metaphors aside we saw this quote by George Carlin and thought of you:

“Just cause you got the monkey off your back doesn’t mean the circus has left town.”

It means just because things often look okay it doesn’t mean they are fine.

We like others, had the attitude that because we had a website, it was fine – it was not, our net site and proactive approach to promoting it has completely changed our outlook to our online presence.

We would highly recommend you to anyone. Primate or human.

Thanks again,

Ben Govier
Director

Having worked with Northern Monkey on a couple of occasions in the past, there was no doubt in my mind that they were the first choice to build an e-commerce site for a new brand of sports supplements. From the outset of the project they had a clear view on what we were hoping to achieve with our brand image and we were utterly delighted with the design concepts they produced, as they perfectly matched what we had in mind. In addition to the site, they produced product labels and a brochure – all of which were amazing. Moreover, the team were always willing to help resolve any problems, technical or otherwise, and work with us every step of the way in helping us realise our vision. It makes such a difference being able to work with not just experts in the field but affable people who genuinely want to help your business succeed. Indeed, advice was freely given at every opportunity and, as newcomers to the e-commerce world, we really appreciated the team’s input from a design and marketing perspective. It made the whole prospect of the venture seem much less daunting and far more achievable!

Working with the Northern Monkey team has been nothing but a pleasure. It’s reassuring to know they are at the end of the phone should we need any help at any time. Not only is the work they produce of an extremely high calibre, but their ongoing service and commitment to their client base makes them stand apart from other web design companies out there and we look forward to working with them in the future as the brand evolves.

It has been great to have worked with them on this project so far, thanks guys.

Testimonial for Northern Monkey

When deciding to create an all-encompassing Christmas website – basically for the sheer fun of it – we approached Northern Monkey with our tentative ideas. What rapidly developed was a site of almost 200 pages, more than 200,000 words and hundreds of images. We had no technological website know-how short of working our way around a computer. But the kind, friendly, enthusiastic and professional team at Northern Monkey steered us in the right direction – while making us feel it was just fine to ask even the most basic of questions. We are fairly certain we asked some mind-numbingly inane ones!
It is an unusual site in that it’s all information and no business right now. We wanted to grow an audience first and supply a vast volume of original content, including children’s stories. Northern Monkey understood these aims and how we wanted the project to look and feel. The site – howtochristmas.co.uk – now stands as a testament to that shared vision and creativity.
A character with child-appeal was crucial to the site. Northern Monkey delivered Ed Elf. He is now the site’s flag-bearer on business cards, also provided by the company. We could not be more delighted.
We very much look forward to working with Northern Monkey as we hopefully take ‘How to Christmas’ into new areas in future years.

Studio 61 Art, which is a start up business in contemporary art, used ‘Northern Monkey Creative’ for graphic design and website design and build.  Northern Monkey was creative within the parameters that we wanted as an organisation.  All the staff we dealt with were helpful and easy to work with. We would happily recommend them.

The new website for the Ribble Vehicle Preservation Trust is now up and running and has been well received by our members and by others who have seen it. We had our initial meetings and briefings with Amy which went well and gave us the confidence to proceed.

The design work was done by Chris and he did an excellent job. The site looks good and it’s easy to manage and add content. Chris was extremely helpful when I was coming to terms with how it worked and I’d like to express my appreciation of all the work he’s done on our behalf.

I would like to thank all the monkeys for all the work they did on our School Space website. They designed exactly what we wanted, a modern website that makes us stand out and that schools will be impressed with. You were happy to make any changes we asked for and you were patient waiting for pictures from us to be added and Amy was a great help with the writing. I am very please with another great website from the monkeys and wouldn’t hesitate recommending you.
