Our Work

“For so long we had been looking for a way to improve our profile and display a more professional image. Our website was the last step in a new chapter in our company and Bookswarm were integral in getting us there. Not only did they design a website with everything we needed, but their personal-touch approach and dedication to keeping our individuality meant that we felt secure all the way through the process. Their after-care is also fantastic and we feel we can contact them at any point for technical help or follow up design queries.”

“I wanted a website to promote a set of fairly radical social ideas (which will feature some way ahead in a book I’m still writing).   I thought this might be outside Bookswarm’s brief, but they’ve been very responsive and creative. Some basic ideas I had on shape and colour were worked up nicely. I’ve greatly appreciated their patience with a non-techy like me, their efficiency and general aplomb.  The result, I and others think, is fitting and attractive. I have no hesitation in recommending Bookswarm with enthusiasm.”
