New website for Just Cartridges.com. Complete redesign of current website including email newsletter facility. Charlie Bull commented...

"I am not easily impressed, but even I am impressed with our new website! Having finally been persuaded to change our original website which I thought was fine, I find that the new one has surpassed all my expectations. Gill Marketing were professional, efficient and user friendly to the point that before going 'live' I felt that very little needed changing, merely details. It is gratifying in this day and age, that there are still organisations out there that really do what they say they can without compromise. Our instructions were not just carried out to the letter, they were exceeded and that is what has impressed me so much."
