Here you will find out all about Activ Web Design and how and why it has transformed the lives of so many people who have wanted to achieve financial freedom and take control of their future.

Take Jenifer Fish for example…

Working Mum leaves full time employment

Also Cecilia and John Holden…

Activ helps couple attain long term dream

Taking on an Activ Web Design has enabled a husband and wife team to realise a long-held ambition of working together in their own IT-based business….

Cecilia and John Holden, who have between them more than 45 years’ experience in IT, started operating their business in 2008.

And for Cecilia, who used to work for a large international investment bank in the City, the decision has improved her life beyond all recognition. She said: “My job used to entail a three and a half hour commute as well as travelling backwards and forwards to New York every few weeks. This may sound glamorous but the novelty soon wears off and despite being well paid in my old job, I am a million times happier since I decided to give it up and run my very own web design business with John.”

“The decision to operate our own business has been a great move for John too, who had been running his own golf ball business but had been looking for an alternative to that to support their income”

In the course of her work as a web designer Cecilia has helped a diverse range of businesses not only to gain an online presence but to update their existing web pages and address problems with their sites.

She added: “One customer, who had moved premises and wanted to update his contact details, couldn’t track down the people who had originally built it in 2000 and was being asked for a ridiculous figure  just to change his address.

“We managed to resolve his IT issues efficiently and cost-effectively as well as providing him with a better site.”

How about Danielle in Australia…

Australian mother makes a lifestyle choice by choosing to operate her own Web Design business

The task of juggling work with family commitments can seem like a difficult step for some. Going to work when your mind is elsewhere is a common issue facing many working mothers. 32 year old Danielle Beltramelli found this a very familiar situation indeed.

Being a working mother, Danielle’s main joy in life came from spending valuable time at home with her 2 year old daughter.  When she wasn’t at home she was at the bank where she was working part time – two days a week.

Wanting to improve her lifestyle she decided that she wanted to earn more money. Her main problem – she didn’t want to be working in an office at the expense of the time she could be spending at home.

She had to look for a different way of doing things. Living in modern times, she knew that the internet would open up a world of opportunities……

So Danielle began looking for internet businesses that she could run from home. She was looking to earn a second income in a career which gave her the flexibility she needed.

“I wanted to earn more money as I was only working at the bank for 2 days a week but I didn’t want to increase my hours there. I have a 2 year old daughter and didn’t want to have to send her to daycare for me to work, so I wanted something I could do from home which is how I came across operating my very own web design business”

Creating professional and affordable websites from the comfort of her own home meant that Danielle could be at home with her family and choose  how many hours she wanted to put in.

Being a working mother with two part time careers meant that Danielle should have had a demanding lifestyle. Wrong – operating her very own web design business gave her the level of flexibility that she needed.

“Its a great opportunity to have my own business whilst being a stay at home mum. My business is going great, I am thoroughly enjoying it. It fits in very well with my lifestyle and my business is getting busier every day. I choose my own hours and work whenever I can around my responsibilities. At the moment I’m probably putting in around 10 hours a week so this level of choice is great for me and my family”

And its not just work and family commitments that Danielle seems to find time for. Danielle realises the importance of also making time for herself. She did not risk her social life as she could choose to work around her social commitments – in fact she was now earning money so it helped!

“I love the fact that I decide when to work as I don’t think I could be without socialising with my friends and going shopping – I may be a working mother with two jobs but its important to have a bit of ‘me’ time”.

With our rapidly expanding company it became apparent that we needed professional help with the design and operation of our website.

Activ have delivered far more than we expected and changed the way we operate as an ecommerce company. The package we have is easily expanded to suit our growing business at very little extra cost.”

Since becoming a client of Activ Web Design, oksmokey.com have processed hundreds of thousands of pounds in online sales since the site launched on 01/05/2009!

George Bunn – OK Smokey,

“It’s a fantastic business-building tool. Within a week of going online we had a booking for a birthday lunch with 19 guests, from someone who didn’t know we existed until finding us on the web”

Les Ivall – The John O’Gaunt Inn,

“We already had a web site but were not getting any response whatsoever. I assumed that web sites were not really any good for getting any new business. A friend introduced me to Terry at Activ and he totally re-built our site. The process was very easy, Terry took care of everything. That was 8 weeks ago and since that time traffic to the site has increased dramatically. Best of all though we have won two contracts valued at 70k both of which were purely down to having the new site.”

Steve Hair – Red Kite Construction & Development Ltd,

“We’re absolutely delighted with the level of service we’ve received from Activ. Paul listened to all our requirements from the outset and has been there every step of the way, from the initial design of the site to the everyday maintenance and updates. He has responded to all our requests immediately. We’re thrilled with our site, it’s working really well for us and we would not hesitate to recommend Paul to anyone.”

Michelle Taylor, Manager – Isis Ensemble,

“Mark Rouvray designed and set up our website. Excellent service! The feedback we have had has been very positive. The website is very easy to use and is just what we wanted.”

Robin Bevan – Bevan’s Butchers

“Thank you both so very much for the absolutely superb work you have done in constructing and launching our new website. We are totally thrilled with how good it looks and how well it works.”

Kevin Jacobs – Beacon Property Services,

“I found Activ very easy to work with – my web designer, Alan, listened to my needs and ideas, took then on board and worked his ‘magic’. He came up with a website that we are very pleased with and we are sure will work well for us. Thanks for the hard work.”

Ian Atkinson – Roundabout Fife Driver Training

“We are extremely pleased with our new website to the point that you have now completed two for us. Your help and guidance throughout the process was fantastic and the end result was better than we could have ever hoped for.”

Cliff Hook – Concrete Polishing,

“I enjoyed working with Richard & Sarah from Activ Web Design, they were always easy to get in contact with and any questions I had were answered as quickly as possible. The website is looking good and sales have started coming in already. I would recommend using Richard & Sarah to build your website and getting you where you want to be.”

Pam Nwelih – Con-fused Arts,

“We are delighted with our website which has already paid for itself. We used to post out our Christmas menu but this year have saved on printing & postage costs by referring customers to our website, customers check out the website and ring back instantly to book. Activ Web Design have also helped with our email marketing and search engine optimisation, we will definitely use Activ for any further websites in the future.”

Greorio Cottone – La Torre Restaurant,

“It has been a great pleasure working with Activ Web Design and more so with Paul Sensky of Activ. Their response to me wanting to set up a website was immediate and Paul knowing nothing about railways picked up what I required straight away and in my eyes made an excellent job of compiling my website. I have had lots of people comment on how good the website is. Anyone wanting to see the end product should visit www.mlprail.co.uk to see what an excellent job Paul has done.”

Trevor Prothero, Managing Director – MLP Railway Maintenance Ltd,
