I was impressed with the manner in which Vertex Central dealt with the Afrovibe Website and Marketing Material. Brad Steenkamp professionally designed my website in less than 10 working days. Some of the useful features that were incorporated into this site include: content management, live reservation system and a booking enquiry template. Aesthetically the website is captivating and it is a pleasure browsing through the site. I look forward to further dealings with Vertex Central and would highly recommend their services to anyone requiring this type of assistance.

This serves as a recommendation of the company Vertex Central. I had the pleasure of working with Brad Steenkamp and his team during a SEDA intervention.

I can highly recommend them to anybody who requires their services. Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any further queries. Yours Sincerely Charlotte Jones (School Director)

We needed a website created after being appointed Distributor for Webroot antivirus solution for the African region. Vertex not only developed a great looking site, but they took an interest in our business which allowed them to have a clear idea of what we needed. They have provided us with a user friendly content management control panel which gives us control of our site content, enabling us to keep the website fresh and up to date. Both Brad and Bianca have been very supportive and patient through the whole project and the care continues even after the site has been launched.

It was my 4th attempt at my website. I am not a creative person but had an idea of what I wanted. What I found spectacular about Vertex was that Brad had the ability to understand what I wanted and design something accordingly. My brief was completely different to what I decided at the end and his patience through the process was amazing. He sat with me through the process, redoing pages, until I was completely satisfied. Vertex was prompt, every time I needed something they were there. When I needed help with some graphics, helping me with design work was no issue. When I didn’t understand PayPal he took the time to call me, install team viewer on my pc and guide me through the complete process. We had challenges with our online shop selling in different currencies. The Vertex group came with a solution, not waiting for me to give instructions. Service like this is very hard to find. I was completely amazed at how Brad and Bianca stayed patient and calm and ALWAYS kept to the deadlines. It was a pleasure dealing with them. As a result of this , I have decided to trust them with all our SEO work.

This level of SERVICE and PROFESSIONALISM was maintained throughout the Web-Designing process.
