IPC Exeter needed to replace their out of date website with a new, more dynamic website which better reflected their business. Using the vibrant colour scheme from their printed material, Phototropic designed an exciting new website which could be edited in-house using SetSeed.

We developed an interactive system to display information on IPC Exeter's many language courses, and then connected this with a SetSeed contact form to enable their visitors to easily choose and enrol on a specific course. Because SetSeed supported this already, IPC Exeter didn't need to pay for any custom development on the software to enable this feature. What's more, all the content is fully editable within SetSeed so IPC Exeter can maintain their annual list of courses themselves.

This is what Ben Thorne from IPC Exeter said about us:

I wanted to completely overhaul our website and had been mulling this over for too long.

I approached some companies who wanted to know what the turnover of my company was before quoting, which I found odd and inappropriate. Ben Vallack was recommended to me by an excellent graphic designer friend Dan Loveday (Wireeater), and I liked his proposal in terms of cost and concept.

Ben basically built the framework of the site based on my very simple design brief and then trained me to use his excellent Setseed content management system. What I liked so much about Ben's approach was that, in direct contrast to other agencies I had approached, he demystified the whole web design process.

Having provided me with the training and the tools, Ben was then there to respond to all of my questions very promptly and efficiently - for example sending me very straightforward video tutorials to assist me in learning the CMS. Ben provides on-going support because he has confidence in his system and knows that 'on-going support' really means answering the occasional e-mail from me.

After years of agonising over how I wanted my site to look and work, Ben has assisted me in building exactly the site I wanted in a couple of months. I am delighted with the site and would have no hesitation in recommending Ben Vallack and Phototropic to potential clients.

Having been so pleased with a previous website we created for him, Andrew Robinson recommended us to another organisation he is involved with to rebuild the website for Science and Religion Forum. They were struggling to make changes to their site so wanted to move to a SetSeed powered website.

We gave the website's look and feel a complete redesign as part of the project and came up with a powerful yet easy to use light-on-dark interface. This reflects the philosophical nature of the organisation and they were very pleased with the results.

This is what Andrew Robinson from SRForum said about us

Our previous website was dated and creaking. We were looking to update it with a more user-friendly replacement but we needed some continuity with the previous site. Ben had already designed an unrelated site for me, so I had no hesitation in recommending him to the Science and Religion Forum. We were not disappointed. He has designed a vastly improved site, visually attractive and easy to use for visitors and webmaster alike, and he provides excellent technical support. Thanks Ben - great site (again).

Shillingford Organics needed to replace their old website because it was hard to control and didn't visually reflect their business. We came up with a new content-driven design which reflected their organic nature and made it easy to access information on their products.

Due to the fact their old site was very hard to make changes to it's content had not been kept up to date. Now that their new site is powered by SetSeed they can easily update their weekly veg box contents as well as adding images to galleries and making other regular changes. Shillingford Organics also send out monthly newsletters using SetSeed's built in email newsletter system. This lets visitors automatically add themselves to a mailing list right on the website.

This is what Bridget Rendal from Shillingford Organics said about us:

Ben Vallack is a Genius!! Ben spent a relatively short amount of time redesigning the Shillingford Organics website and now it looks amazing. I especially like the consistent format throughout, which gives it a very professional look. It is very easy to modify the site with lots of lovely tips and has much more flexibility than our previous site. The thing I love about it is that you don't have to be a trained website administrator to make changes as it is extremely user-friendly. Many thanks Ben.
