I hadn’t run a business before so I was nervous about what I may come up against further down the line. I had a fair idea of what was what as far as offering my services goes, but I didn’t really know where to start with web and what order things should be done and when, so I needed a company with experience that I could work with that not only provide me with a website, marketing, emails and anything else technical that I might need in future but also offer startup business advice and knowledge to help guide me because I definitely needed it!! I’m glad I chose Vaccoda because they filled me with the confidence I lacked and have given me bundles of advice since I first started my business and have helped guide and advise me whenever I have asked for help. Nothing is too much trouble. These guys are not only great at web design and marketing but the business knowledge they have and advice they offer is something else. They are genuine kind people that care about what they do and their customers - very rare to find this in companies nowadays! I totally recommend Matt, Becky, Rob and Ben and and the rest of the team at Vaccoda, they have been brilliant and helped to get me where I am today. I look forward to continuing to build my business with them.read more

I don't know where to begin! To cut a long story short, I had a very bad experience with another agency, I approached Vaccoda as they are a local business to me and Rob & the team couldn't have been more helpful. From giving me impartial professional advice to talking to me informally about my experience, he acted professionally and empathetically throughout. I have learnt so much from Rob already and am so excited to start my next project with Vaccoda. If only I went with them in the first place!read more

Where do I start!!! After an extremely bad experience with another web design agency, having had a website built by them that never worked and no matter what they did to try and fix it, the problems didn’t get resolved I ended up at a point of desperation with a website which didn’t work and email accounts that were never setup properly as well as other issues. They were very quick to take my money but didn’t seem to want to produce a working website or provide me with services that worked and responses to my phone calls and emails were flaky at best. Needing to find another agency to work with I had started talking to other web design companies to try and find someone who would help me sort my mess out and Vaccoda was the last agency on my list to call. This really was a case of saving the best til last because all the other agencies I had spoken to before I called Vaccoda either couldn’t be bothered to really listen or help and basically palmed me off in one way or another so we didn’t really click, so by the time I rung Vaccoda I was feeling completely stressed out and very very fed-up! So, I called Vaccoda and went to see Rob and Matt, and I am so SO glad I contacted them, not only did they give me the patience and understanding I needed, they didn’t make me feel as if I was wasting their time like the other agencies I spoke to made me feel. Vaccoda gave me sound advice which calmed me down and gave me confidence and they helped me at every step of the way to get my website and everything else fixed and take the time to explain things to me in easy to understand words as I’m not technical in the slightest! They fixed my website quickly and got it up and running in a couple of days, yet the other web design company who actually built the website couldn’t seem to fix the many issues after weeks of trying, but Vaccoda fixed it first time round. Rob, Matt and the team absolutely know their stuff and they are very very experienced - this is clear to see and their service is second to none. I’m looking forward to working with Vaccoda long term and give them all my business because they truly deserve it. They are awesome, kind and very professional people! Thank you so much guys!!read more

Rob, Matt and the Vaccoda team are fab! I recently worked with them to revamp my current website and create some marketing materials for my business. From the outset they were so helpful and knowledgeable - they're clearly real experts in what they do and take great pride in their work. They're also extremely responsive to emails and phone calls which is very refreshing. I especially liked that their approach was a nice mix of both style and substance, (ie: marketing materials and websites are beautifully designed and finished... but they're also full of ideas and tips to improve website SEO and functionality)..

Not only are they great at what they do but they are also good people who are approachable, honest and supportive with a genuine care for their client's. It's a joy to work with them. We work closely together and our collaboration has been a huge benefit to our clients who get the best from experts who not only know the industry inside-out but we have been able to confidently steer clients and their projects and help with making decisions that are so crucial to their businesses. We have also worked with a number of other agencies in the past but I have to say none have been as professional, honest and hard working as Vaccoda - they really are outstanding at what they do and know exactly how things should be done. As well as working with Vaccoda I have also learnt from them, professionally-speaking. Their high standards of quality is unsurpassed with well thought-out processes and excellent client management and support, and their knowledge of the industry is inspiring. We fully recommend Vaccoda.read more

Vaccoda is outstanding and other companies could learn a lot from them. The service they provide is faultless and their sense of urgency and willingness to help is commendable. I have used other web design and marketing companies in the past but in one way or another they have fallen short of the mark and left me disappointed and despite me giving a detailed explanation, they haven't really understood my business needs and requirements properly. On the other hand Vaccoda made it so easy for me and they just "got" what I wanted and took into account my wishes first and foremost. They provide our web and email hosting, data backup, web design and search engine optimisation. Since undertaking our SEO we have seen a definite and rapid increase in website visitors and orders, explained to us through informative monthly reports and all the other services they supply to us are equally as excellent. Data backup is very efficient and the hosting is fast with quick loading of our website and emails. Our website looks great and many of our customers have complimented us on it. We look forward to many more years working with Vaccoda, and would wholeheartedly recommend Vaccoda to anyone looking for a full service agency that is well priced, knowledgeable and actually delivers on what they promise.read more

We used Vaccoda for the design of our logo, website holding page and prototype of our upcoming digital app (www.spinapp.co.uk).

Although we have previously worked with similar companies before at a much lower cost, the standard and turnaround time of delivery is not comparable to that of Vaccoda. We can truly recommend Rob and his team and hope to work with them again in the near future.read more

When I needed a website for my SEO marketing training business, the only place for me to go was Vaccoda. Simply because I have heard so many good things about them on the grapevine and people was always saying positive things about them on the various social media platforms I follow. I must say that when I approached them, I had already put a website brief together so they knew what I wanted. When the site was completed, it was exactly what I wanted. Nice and clean. In fact, it excelled my expectations which does not happen often as I like everything just right. Perfect. It seems that nothing is too much trouble with these guys and they have also sorted all my branding, providing my roller banner, business cards and leaflets which I use at business and digital expos. I contact Vaccoda from time to time with tweak requests to my site and they are completed in rapid time. I cannot fault them with anything. Fantastic customer experience. In fact, they now provide all my email, hosting, site maintenance and security requirements at a very reasonable price. Any business who requires a quality website to represent their brand, I 100% recommend Vaccoda.read more

Little Miss Mop It Up

10:38 23 Sep 16

I was recently stung BADLY by another company and wanted to move away from them completely with my hosting and my SEO campaign. Matt and Rob have been amazing at Vaccoda and from the very first phone call with Matt I was reassured that this company was the right choice. I also researched them and checked out their Google reviews and was amazed and pleased because this is something I failed to do with the other company and their reviews were really bad. So anyway the peace of mind I got on the phone from Matt and the confidence that they have the greatest reviews I have EVER seen assured me that I was making the right choice. Within just 1 week my 4 websites are all live and I have been speaking with Rob about SEO which they make all very straightforwards with an email which explains everything which I found very interesting and learnt things I didn't know before. Emails are answered swiftly and communication is spot on. No ticket numbers sent with ongoing issues like the other company I have come away from (I won't mention any names as not sure if I am allowed to). So my SEO campaign starts on 8th October and I am really looking forward to working with a very professional, upfront and friendly company that are available at end of the phone and at the click of an email. I am so very happy to have found them. No more bad experiences for me anymore and I have absolute confidence that within 6 months or so my 4 websites will be ranking very nicely on google with a server that will host them without them disappearing like the other company had. If you are looking for hosting and SEO then look no further. Pick up the phone and ring today and speak to Matt. They don't finish work at 4pm either, they have still been answering my emails at 6pm weekdays! I don't leave reviews very much and NEVER to this length but I really needed to let others know just how happy I am with the service so far. Nothing is too much of a problem for this company and they will go far!read more
