The client’s previous website needed updating – it was slow to load, hadn’t been adapted for use on mobile devices, and the forms were PDFs that needed to be downloaded for filling out, scanning and returning by email. Our challenge was to rebuild the site to get it up to speed and bring it up to date. We’d been supporting McNeil with content for a few years, so already had the text, beautiful images to work with and a close working relationship with the client.

We asked Gecko to revamp our existing website – to make it faster and more efficient – and we are delighted with the result. The pages load so quickly and the numerous forms have been re-designed so they’re far easier to manage.

Peter gave us clear steps throughout the process, and helped move the website from a previous provider. He even helped us with receiving emails on our phones. Everything was done with professionalism and patience.

Carry wrote the original content four years ago, and helps us keep it up to date.

Fantastic to work with you both.
