Working with Pixel Storm has been a godsend. No longer do we have to stress about anything technically related whether it be anything SEO or socials that don’t work, won’t start or we don’t understand! Best of all they are an Australian based team with a REAL office, so we know that they are not going to disappear overnight, which has happened to us in the past. They just get on and do and fix ‘stuff’ without drama We had very limited understanding or knowledge of SEO when we first worked with PS . They explain technical ‘stuff’ in lay persons terms, without jargon so we can understand what needs to be done. Our rankings in Google have improved so much since we stated work with PS three years ago, As an SME, can’t recommend Paula and the PS team highly enough, they have made our lives so much easier.

After searching worldwide for a web development company, we settled on Pixelstorm in Melbourne, Victoria. Not only did they have a great pitch, but they delivered a solution bursting with creativity and passion. And notably, on time and budget. I enjoyed working with the team; they were very responsive to feedback as we moved along through the project. Changes can be expensive and difficult to manage, though they inevitably come up in any project. The team at Pixelstorm had a very suitable approach to sorting this out along the way. We could not have been more pleased with the results of the finished project. Feedback has been fantastic, and the response to the new design has been exceptionally well received. The site was even a finalist in the Australian Web Awards in the non-profit category. We will certainly use Pixelstorm on future projects, and I look forward to working with the team again. I highly recommend them for their quality of work, dedication, and continuous engagement. To paraphrase Clementine Churchill, 'It's not just a website... it's a triumph!'
