Chris was a pleasure to work with—highly skilled and professional. From the initial consultation to the design and final execution of the site, everything was seamless and on schedule. I highly recommend Chris to others and have already recommended him to my network.

We had a great experience working with the Christom team. They were attentive to our requirements and executed them without any problems. The website they developed accurately reflected the designs we provided. Most importantly, they were able to meet our deadlines and launch the website on schedule. We strongly recommend Christom!
Nola T.
Crackerjack Education
Outstanding customer service – what a terrific company. Our company Crackerjack Education have engaged Christom for over a year and hope they never leave us. Our membership driven online Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander education site now with an online course, would have challenged most web designers. However Chris and his team have developed a site that has been flexible enough to evolve as we have grown which is perfect for our needs and many changes. Highly recommend them for any type of web design.

I feel lucky that I decided to work with Christom. Chris is knowledgeable and responsive. He responded to all our requests promptly and willing to go the extra step to explain the details, especially to one who knows very little. I will refer all my friends to him. Thank you again Chris and it was great working with you. I recommend them for any type of web design.

Wow, I first contacted Christom almost 2yrs ago to update the information on our “ old clunky website” Not only did Chris get us through the updates, he listened and answered all of my questions in a way I could grasp (I am not at all tech savvy)! Christom has now built our new site to the specs we gave, and is always there to help with any future needs for further upgrades. A pleasure to do business with from start to finish. 5 stars..

I’ve now had the pleasure of working with Christom on four different websites over the last 18 months. Chris has developed 2 websites from the ground up and re-worked and vastly improved 2 additional websites for me. He has been fantastic to work with; always professional, knowledgeable and willing to offer advice. They have often gone above and beyond the call of duty and has been generous both with their time and his expertise. Their customer service is outstanding.
