Had a great web development experience with Chris at Tallhat. He has a real talent for converting your ideas into reality on your webpage.

Chris has just finished a great re-design of The Filter’s website. Simple, clear and effective – everything we wanted, done efficiently but with flair. Can strongly recommend.”
CEO, The Filter
Chris was a pleasure to work with. He took the time to fully understand what we were trying to achieve before starting work and was always willing to go the extra mile to ensure we ended up exactly where we needed to be. Would happily recommend tallhatDesign to anyone!”
Gary Haberfield, Touch Blue Systems
Chris is always quick and responsive to our business needs. We felt sure we’d be closed down due to the coronavirus. But we drew up an idea for a takeaway service and Chris rearranged the website tastefully and carefully within hours. We began trading as a takeaway service the next day. It’s still thriving!”
Rosy Hall, The Bathwick Boatman Restaurant
We are very happy with Chris and tallhatDesign. His 2019 redesign led to a 30% increase in traffic and a number of good quality leads, including a very nice enquiry from a US board game company and something for a world record publicity event later in the year.”
