R&R Catering Hire Testimonial

Monday, December 13th, 2010

“Will Craig from Bredon Web, has more than helped our company this month, we had our web hosting company upgrade our servers recently so our old site was no longer supported, so we had to completely rewrite the code from scratch.

We gave Bredon Web the job of rewriting the ecommerce section of the site to be incorporated into the front end design which had already been made using WordPress by us, they visited our premises, gauged which package suited our needs and got straight to work, which has worked out very well, all our remit was successfully acomplished in a tight timeframe.

While Bredon Web is a small company, their dedication to the task and solving our current issues has proved to be vital, we are more then happy with Bredon Webs services up to date, and look forward to a long term partnership for many years to come improving the site and SEO rankings further into the future.”

I was tasked with producing a PHP version of their ASP website using as much of their current PHP development website as possible. The team agreed with a seamless WordPress-osCommerce symbiotic platform as it suited 80% of the brief ‘out of the box’. 

This allowed me to meet the deadline for the back end in time for Seligsoft to produce the front end graphics using CSS.
