Great company to work along side of that has helped my business to grow punctually friendly and polite on the phone and very helpful on advising on my next steps
Daniel Kollar
After a year of running the business I became worried of my website and its poor performance and visibility.
I found BWAR through other businesses in my industry and decided to see what they can offer. Shortly after I sent inquiry I received a phone call from Aaron.
First impressions was that they are pure professionals and Aaron advised to set up a meeting in person to discuss all my needs which I really liked. First meeting of around 1hour took place in their office and we went through all my and my business needs and it was clear that they wanted the best outcome possible and even other members of team joined the meeting to explain the steps and what we can expect.
I agreed for the work to be carried out and everything was smooth from start. They've done the initial work earlier than planned which was really what I needed due to critical state of the online business presence.
Second month with the new website and work steadily keeps coming.
Aaron and his team are continuously doing an amazing work. Regular phone calls to keep me updated of changes and what the next steps are and if I approve them, discussions of what could be done and what would be the best to do in order to grow online presence to achieve set goals.
My first customers, without me asking, immediately commented how professional the website looks and it clearly shows what they wanted to see and that that is why decided to get in touch.
I cannot recommend BWAR enough, them taking over my website was one of the best decisions I've made for my business and I can now finally focus on my work knowing that my website is in good hands.

Superb company and a pleasure having BWAR take control of our website design and SEO compaigns. Makes a difference when you can have your web guru's call to your premises and sit down and talk you through campaign results. Defo give these guys a call.

Huge thanks to Aaron and the team at BWAR for our brand new bespoke website. After speaking to a few local companies we decided to go for BWAR as from the very first consultation we felt that Aaron understood our brand, values and what we wanted to achieve with the website, and we were confident they could deliver - which they did! BWAR completed the build as per their timeframe which they outlined before we signed off, and they were happy to make changes to the design/build along the way. They checked in with us throughout the process to make sure we were happy and updated us with their progress, so communication was always spot on. We would 100% recommend BWAR and will use them for digital services in the future. - Logan Landscapes Ltd
