Client testimonials.

  • Before I met Sam, my website wasn’t representing my brand and work properly. After a phone call with Sam, listening to her ideas and her approach, I was sold. The process was smooth, communication was easy, she had heaps of great ideas, listened to my requests and she was totally reliable. She really took the time to know me and put my vision to life. Today, I am proud to direct my clients towards my website and I have recommended Sam to some of my business owners friends without any hesitations. Sam, thank you so much again!

  • I had previously thrown together my own website but I was never happy with it and I did not have full knowledge and skills to do what I wanted. A fellow photographer friend recommended Samantha and I am so thankful! Samantha was an absolute breeze to work with. The whole process from first contact to website launch was amazing and easy. Samantha was so patient with me when it came to me getting things to her, yet she was extremely fast and efficient on her end in putting these things together to create a beautiful, easy to navigate, timeless feeling website which is exactly what I was after. I am so happy with the final product and with the entire process

  • In the first COVID lockdown, I thought I’d learn to design my own website. Queue insane amounts of laughter at myself… Thankfully, there are creative geniuses out there like Samantha, who actually have the skills to do it. Sam has been working hard behind the scenes to make this a reality. Highly recommend her if you’re looking!

  • Samantha has the perfect blend of creativity and professionalism. She really took the time to get to know me and find out in detail what I was looking for in my logo and branding. I loved the result and have had many compliments on it since. I also used Sam for my website build.

  • Just a note to let you know we are up to week three of the design phase with Samantha for the F&R website refresh project. To date, the process has been seamless and we have been very impressed with the designs, and the integration of our complex and varied requests.
