EXCELLENT Based on 56 reviews Posted on Emma Saddington12/08/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot recommend Frank more highly. Did everything I requested at a great price and quickly. I had more questions after he had finished my job, and he also helped me out even though it was beyond what I had asked. So impressed. He also offered advice on what was wrong with the tech side of my website. I also did this remotely, which worried me at first as I wanted a one on one tutorial. It turned out I didn't need one as he sent clear to understand, step by step guides to fix my problems, also meaning I don't have to get his services again in a year when I've forgotten everything. FIVE STARS I will be using him for all my website queries in the future as I run my own website but need tech help from time to time.Posted on Sian Chapman05/08/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Frank's communication throughout the process has been exemplary. He is always quick to respond, whether by phone, email, or even meeting in person when needed. This personal touch really sets Site Design Now apart—they genuinely care about their clients' needs and go above and beyond to ensure satisfaction. When we first approached them with examples of websites we admired, Frank took our vision and transformed it into something beyond our expectations. The website they created for us at altosheds.com.au is not only visually stunning but also highly functional.
