"Linden Tilbury of WebRefresh has recently been engaged by Forte School of Music to upgrade the Forte Music website. Linden provided exceptionally valuable advice regarding website design which allowed us to establish a new direction for our website. Linden has built a new website (www.fortemusic.com.au) which is highly professional and exceptionally functional. Linden's work is of a very high standard and she has been very easy to work with in regard to design changes and formatting of a new website. The website was built in a very timely manner. We are exceptionally pleased with Linden's work and look forward to continuing to work with her to develop the new Forte Music website further."

"In December we approached WebRefresh to update our web site. Our site was not created to enhance our business - our e-commerce web site is our business, so the decision as to who would take it to the next level was not taken lightly. WebRefesh's redevelopment of the site has exceeded all expectations. The site is inviting, intuitive and functional and was created with the end user in mind. The ongoing support and maintenance we have received from WebRefresh has been second to none. I have very much appreciated the pride in the work done and the investment of time and effort in assisting us in creating a successful online business."

"WebRefresh has been managing our various web sites for over a year. We have found the service to be professional and the work that has been carried out has been of an extremely high standard. During this period major work was done on the sites to add functionality, improve presentation and reduce the time required for maintenance.
We recently employed WebRefresh to develop a custom designed database product to handle the Beech Ovens marketing and production processes. This has been very successful, dramatically improving productivity, internal and external information management and our ability to respond to our clients.
We have found that in all areas WebRefresh is professional, reliable, and driven to provide us with high quality, high performance solutions which best support our business requirements. WebRefresh is highly recommended."
Brett Beech, CEO Beech Ovens
"I approached Linden of Webrefresh to help me improve my advertising for my real estate company in Fiji, and have been delighted with the results. We have had so many complimentary remarks from clients about the site and how easy it is to use. Webrefresh has been such a great company to deal with as nothing has been too hard or too much trouble, and I have always had rapid response to any requests for updates or changes to the site. I rely entirely on Linden's advice and expertise and do so unreservedly. I would recommend Webrefresh to any company seeking personalized, proactive and extremely professional services."

"WebRefresh, very refreshing to deal with someone so professional and helpful and who met all the deadlines at a price that was well within budget. I needed someone who could help design, build, host and continually change and improve a web site that was flash but not 'OTT', that would attract the attention of the right clientele and be consistently in the top of the search engine listings. Linden is that person. Having had continous dealings over the past 3 years, I would recommend WebRefresh to anyone looking to develop a site or needing help with other IT needs."
