When we recently decided to change over web hosting and marketing companies we met with a bunch of people but where given the sales pitch by all of them. Upon meeting Matt we straight away knew he was sincere and honest and no salesman pitch. Since joining the whole team have been so helpful and a pleasure to work with. We like the flexibility of no lock in contract and to be able to increase and decrease the months work load as needed for the business. Very happy with the service.

Brisbane Hosting you were unbelievable to work with. You've updated our website in a seamless manner that was economical and professional above our expectations. We are super impressed with the transition to the new website and really love the ease of the new system for our customers. Have to say was expecting a lot of problems and was pretty nervous about changing and now just wish we had done it a long time ago. You are all so nice to deal with too. Thank you so much!

Brisbane Web Hosting made our website so easy to self manage. I can't believe the difference compared to our old supposedly user editable site. Thanks Matthew, great job at a great price.

I cannot thank Matt enough for revamping my website. My old website was constantly hacked, getting no traffic & after 12 months was STILL not how I wanted. It took Matt 4 days to completely transform my website into a showcase for my work. It's user friendly, my images look amazing & Matt managed to do in 4 days what my other designer failed to do in 12 months. I highly recommend Matt for his professionalism & extremely prompt service. My only regret is that I didn't come to him first! Thanks so much Matt!Alison Cooke Photography
