In addition to the Marple Website and its many facets, Marple Website Design and Hosting has a growing portfolio of sites created for a variety of clients. If you're interested in having your own web site but are too busy or unable to do it yourself, then take a look at the portfolios and testimonials and browse the different sites to see what I may be able to do for you. If you get in touch to discuss your needs I'll be delighted to give you a quotation to match them.

If you've already registered a domain name and arranged hosting, then I can work with these details. If you haven't, I can also provide low cost domain registration and web hosting that will include a full e-mail service or e-mail forwarding using a domain name of your choice (subject to availability).

Mark Whittaker created my web site www.homefiresandfuels.co.uk and I am delighted with the result. Mark really got to understand my business and did a lot of background research which helped with the finished product. Staring a new business is a daunting task but thanks to Mark the web site has not been the headache I thought it would be! It has been a pleasure working with Mark and I would recommend him to anyone looking to develop a web site.

Thank you for creating a fantastic site for us. The graphics, functionality and traffic flow of the site have exceeded our expectations and your customer service is second-to-none.  We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone who wants a quality website from a quality company.

Mark Whittaker was asked to oversee the design and implementation of our new website. Mark has worked tirelessly in perfecting what we feel is a top notch website. We are delighted with the look of the website and the ease of use. A great part of what we do relies on statistics being easy to input and easy for our Clubs to access and on both counts, a great success.

Mark has always been there to provide support and guidance which has certainly made our task a whole lot simpler. To anybody out there who needs a new web site or requires expert technical support, then Mark Whittaker and his Company are highly recommended.

Once again I would like to thank you for your excellent work. The website is everything I wanted and more. I have recommended you to a couple of my friends.

Myers Tree Care Myers Tree Care's site is now on its third generation in the form of a full content management system site with video, photo galleries and customer testimonial submission system. David Myers is one of my earliest and most valued customers and his site was given a major revamp in 2010/11 and is still growing and expanding. www.myerstreecare.co.uk

Mark Whittaker has undertaken work for my company for the last ten years (approx) in that time his service has been second to non and we have a great working relationship. When I first contacted The Marple Website about my own web site they undertook both the design and build process, as my skills in IT are very limited. Through comments I have received over the years regarding my site I have forwarded many potential clients. When a problem occurs or changes need to be made, one phone call or e-mail and it's sorted without a big fuss. Customer care is 100% and I recommend Mark's services to all my associates.

With regard to the web site supplied and your set-up work in that direction: I was most impressed by the service rendered and your attention to detail!

Tony Grimes, T.D., F.I.Diag.E, Benring Limited. www.benring.co.uk

My original web site designer had gone out of business and I was unable to get my site updated and amended with my new designs because it wasn't working properly. Mark created a brand new site for me that is far more sophisticated than the old one and I can now add new products and amend the details myself. Mark also handled the transfer of my domains to his server and even got me a refund on my hosting fees! I'm delighted with my new web site and can't recommend Marple Promotions enough.

Natalie Dickinson, Tinkerbell Tiaras. www.tinkerbelltiaras.com

We found Mark at Marple Promotions very helpful in assisting us with the design of our website and would have no hesitation in recommending him to others.

Retail Survival Courses Design, hosting and regular update of an 8 page web site for Main Marketing and PR featuring their Retail Survival Courses for small retailers in District Town Centres. www.retailsurvival.co.uk

I found Mark very helpful, full of ideas and professional in his approach to helping me get my website produced. He got the 'visual tone' of the site right for my target clients - and it didn't cost a fortune. I've had really positive feedback from prospective clients who are able to find my website, find the navigation easy to use and are able to contact me if they have further enquiries. When I wanted to add 'mini linked websites' Mark advised on the best and most cost-effective way to do this.

Leisure Designs - Embroidered Logos and Designs Recovery, re-building and hosting of an existing 20 page web site for a Hazel Grove embroidery business that was having difficulties with lack of support from the original web designer and host. www.leisuredesigns.co.uk

I would just like to say a huge thank you for taking over my web site and re-building it for me. After a lot of trouble with the previous web designer I got in touch with Mark explained what I needed, and he did all the rest. It made such a difference having someone who does actually get back to you and who sorted out a lot of problems with my web site not working properly before. The other really important issue was to keep it running while the changes took place - Mark did this all within 2 weeks. The cost was very reasonable, for all the work that I had done. I would recommend Marple Promotions to everyone, they are so efficient and keep your costs affordable. Because it looks so much better now I have had a lot more enquiries.

Thank you so much. Elaine, Leisure Designs Embroidery www.leisuredesigns.co.uk

Dear Mark,

I would like to thank you for all the support, hard work and expertise in setting up and maintaining the Forum's web site during my time as the Team leader of the Marketing and Publicity Group.
