...Netball... and more...!

I have built up great expertise in designing websites for netball clubs and associations, often utilising the fantastic net:base™ app from 24/9 to enable full netball leagues management (including "on-the-fly" league table generation - no messy cutting and pasting or having to insert nasty, inaccessible jpeg images from Word).

It's not just about netball though - browse my portfolio and you will see other examples of my work.

Laura Keshav - Laura Keshav Translations:

"I had a clear vision of what I wanted my website to look like and Chris was able to realise that perfectly – and quickly. Indeed, speed seems to be a hallmark of his service. Any request I made was actioned promptly without any fuss."

Chris Hopkins - Netball South (Regional Association):

"Chris worked with us to design and construct a website that meets our needs and looks professional. The service we have received following on from the design and construction has been outstanding and he is always on hand to offer support when requested. He offers a friendly service and understands our needs; the simple yet effective way in which the website is updated makes the day to day task of updating the site very quick and easy."

Carol Alexander - Hampshire Netball Association:

"As a voluntary organisation Hampshire Netball knew nothing about web construction and design but had ideas of what we wanted. Chris patiently guided us through the process turning our ideas into reality. He was always prepared to listen and amend when necessary until what we required was achieved. Nothing was too much trouble and his professionalism is reflected in our very striking website."

Deborah Glen - Le Cabanial Holiday Home:

"I was full of ideas on the look and feel that I wanted... but didn't have a clue how to translate those thoughts into a website... fortunately Chris did! We only ever communicated over the phone or email but the end result far exceeded my expectations. Chris carefully listened to me rambling on at length, downloading all my ideas and what I was looking to achieve, added a few ideas of his own and in the process sought out additional and more cost effective ways of delivering the same result. The outcome a fantastic user friendly website that works really well as an internet marketing tool for my business."

Monica Vaughan - Rushmoor Netball Club:

"Rushmoor Netball Club wanted to develop a website and had no real idea how to go about this, Chris guided us through the process, providing a number of designs and templates for us to choose from, Chris was then very patient with us, built the website from scratch and introduced the diary system for logging matches so all information is readily available for team members. Following the initial development Chris then came up with ideas on how to improve the site and provides great on-going support."

Sarah Wakeman & Jan Crabtree
Weston Park Blades Netball Club:

"Chris built and developed our netball club's website over the last two seasons, and it has grown to be a highly valuable resource. As a club with many members from young junior players to senior players, all of whom train at different locations and times, the website is a way for us to communicate to our membership as a whole and it is vital for bringing together the player, parent and supporter community at Weston Park Blades Netball Club.
We choose to update our club website on a weekly basis with results, information and acknowledgements for outstanding play and volunteer efforts. The flexibility and ease of editing the website built by Chris is essential to maintaining member interest in our club's website.
Weston Park Blades are grateful for Chris Flanagan's rapid, expert and comprehensive support of our website and we look forward to future developments that reflect our netball club's evolution."
