Hayley Sparkes, Freelance TV Presenter, Celerbity Make up Artist & Stylist
Not only did Rachel design an excellent website for my business, I also hired Apparition Marketing & Design to create my own personal website to help promote my services and keep in touch with my contact database. I was really pleased with the creative designs I was given to choose from, and the expert advise received regarding layout and content. I found Apparition to be very affordable compared with other agencies and I highly recommend them to anyone in need of the range of services they offer.

Dr Karen Smith , Director of Bioprocess Leadership - University College London
I engaged Apparition to undertake design work for the Annual Report of our Innovative Manufacturing Research Centre in Bioprocessing and they delivered a quality document exactly to requirement within a short timescale. During the initial design process, they asked sensible and informed questions so they could have an idea of what I was looking for. They listened to the feedback and designed the initial concept within a few days. Their first design was so good that very little was changed throughout the course of the project.

Jim Campbell , Owner of Ark Property Services Ltd
We are over the moon with the results of the whole exercise, everything looks great thank you. We are getting advertising out and the van has been logo’ed up. I can only say great things about Apparition and have been mentioning you to whoever will listen! Everyone that sees the logo is commenting on how great it looks... we have NEVER had that with the original brand! So obviously it was time for a change.

David & Gemma Sanchez, The Lord Nelson, Southwold
We called in Apparition to re-design our first brand in 2010.We loved the range of ideas they came up with for us and selected one straight from the initial selection. They were great to work with and made our image transformation very easy. We were so delighted we also had Apparition re-design our website. We now have a modern, user friendly platform everyone can use. I would highly recommend anyone using them as a company.
