I cannot recommend working with Shay enough, he is an exceptional team member, great developer and all round good guy.

Since joining our team in early 2021, Shay has been instrumental in elevating our product and optimizing our platform during a crucial period of growth. His strong work ethic, clear communication, and collaborative spirit make him a well-loved member of the team. Shay actively engages in sprint reflections, providing insightful contributions that have positively impacted the we way we work.

Not only is he diligent in his work, but Shay also demonstrates versatility by contributing to testing, documentation, and supporting junior team members. His commitment to documenting changes has significantly enhanced our internal documentation on the code base. Shay's natural curiosity and after-hours research into all things tech including AI showcases his proactive approach to problem-solving and our product has directly benefited as he’s been able to set up tools for our team such as a fake data generator for our testers.

The entire team will sincerely miss Shay for his dedication, creative meme contributions, and excellent documentation skills. If the opportunity arises, I would eagerly welcome Shay back to our development team, as his presence and expertise have been truly invaluable. I will genuinely miss working with him.

We had the great pleasure of working with Chenille on the design and development of our website. When I first made contact with Chenille, I was really taken with his ‘can-do’ attitude towards our entire project and his willingness to meet our creative needs. When we started working together, we didn’t really have a clear vision of what we wanted in our website. After going through some other websites to get an idea of what we liked and what we didn’t like and after several detailed discussions, we Decided to let Chenille have free reign to see what he came up with. We were glad we put our faith in him, as the results he Produced were fantastic.

Throughout the entire design process, Chenille was a total pleasure to work with. His hard work, creativity, patience, and professionalism far exceeded my expectations. He never once made me feel like I was pestering him with questions; any ideas I had he would expand on them to make them better, and his attitude was always positive and upbeat. I always felt like my site was priority number one. What I like best about Chenille is that he is committed to getting it right and is a consummate problem solver. He always figured it out and delivered on his promise and on our vision.

We would highly recommend Chenille and wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again in the future.

Shay is a diligent and thorough worker who will do everything to ensure the website is just right. He’s a very friendly, calm and considerate person who not only does the job, he makes the job right for you personally. I will recommend Pottle Web solutions to others for the fine work that has been accomplished.

Outstanding service. Shay did a fantastic job in designing a website for my small window cleaning business in Ipswich. The site is very user friendly and works smoothly. I'd recommend his service for anyone starting up a business or who has an existing business and would like an online presence.

I used Pottle Web Solutions to add some pages onto my recruitment company website, and Shay was simply brilliant! He listened intently to what I needed, summarised and played it back to make sure he'd captured everything correctly, and then he did it quickly and efficiently! He also made some great suggestions and improvements, didn't get too technical and communicated excellently throughout. I would highly, highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for some web development, either from scratch or enhance your existing site.

If you have limited technical skillset, but are a creative looking to push the boundaries of what’s possible with your website portfolio, I couldn’t recommend Shay enough. I wanted a website to advertise my freelance PR skillset to generate independent projects. It’s fair to say the site has exceeded expectations, not only in terms of transcending the original design, but also securing two projects within only one week of launching.

We completed the whole project remotely. Even despite this, Shay went the extra mile to deliver value-adds both in terms of the websites physical appearance and it’s traffic measurement capability. He is experienced with tackling even the most sophisticated technical challenge - which in the case of this project, was having an innovative landing page, with a bespoke user experience included. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire him for a development or design project.

Working with Shay is practical, especially if you’re already busy. We completed this website, whilst I managed full-time job, which left very little time for technical consideration. Shay broke-down and explained everything clearly, which allowed me to make fast quick decisions about the design elements. The project was done on time to a standard which exceeded expectations.
