Client Testimonials & Long-Term Partnerships

For over 25 years I’ve been building, modernising and supporting bespoke systems for SMEs – often working with the same organisations for a decade or more. Below is a selection of real-world feedback from the people I’ve worked with directly.

If you’d like to see the underlying systems and results in more detail, take a look at my case studies page, or review typical budgets on the pricing & typical project costs page or the process I follow on the how I work (7-step process) page.

Why this page exists

Larger clients often ask the same questions: “Can you handle complex systems?”, “Will you still be around in a few years?”, and “What are you like to work with day to day?”

These testimonials are taken from long-standing clients across sectors such as education, engineering, manufacturing and professional services. They cover projects ranging from WebForms modernisation and SQL tuning through to Android field apps and fully bespoke job management systems.

The best way to assess fit is still a short conversation, but these quotes should give you a flavour of how I approach delivery, support and long-term partnerships.

Prefer to see systems in action?

The case studies page walks through real projects in more depth – the business problem, the solution and how the software is used day-to-day.

If budgeting is your first concern, the pricing & typical project costs page explains how I scope and price work for SMEs.

What clients say

A selection of independent comments from directors, principals and managers who’ve trusted me with business-critical systems.

Alastair quickly understood our requirements and delivered an Android app and web-based management interface that met all of our needs. The solution was built on time, at a competitive price and with great communication throughout. We look forward to working with him again.

New Media Aid has developed a number of advanced bespoke applications for BAE Systems. The work has been technically strong, delivered professionally and integrated smoothly into our existing environment. I’m happy to recommend Alastair for complex bespoke app development.

BAE Systems — Hatfield, Hertfordshire

Working with New Media Aid allowed us to take a big step forward with technology in an industry that has been slow to adapt. There was no suitable off-the-shelf solution for our needs, so Alastair worked closely with us to design the right tools for our operations and customers.

Ben Guy
Managing Director
Hammond Produce — Nottinghamshire

New Media Aid has designed, built and maintained our websites and CMS for nearly a decade. Alastair combines strong technical skills with a good understanding of our business and is always responsive and easy to work with. I’d strongly recommend speaking to him about any digital project.
