“Chris Thank you so much! The website is perfect ?
We advertised yesterday and made some sales through the shop last night, and I can’t thank you enough for getting the website up and running. Fingers crossed it’s the start of something good. It’s been a dodgy time in retail lately so this website is so important to us.
Thank you for putting up with my constant emails and mind changing, you’ve been so helpful throughout ?
Have a great day,
Sam”
“Chris has designed the most amazing website for me. He took some ideas from me and came up with the just what I wanted. The ease with which you can move around the site is fantastic. I love all the colours and beautiful pictures used. It is a counselling and hypnotherapy website so I wanted a relaxing and soft theme and Chris has exceeded my expectations. Also Chris has been so helpful and kind in every way. Nothing has ever been too much bother. Thank you so much Chris.
Best wishes
Tracey.”

“I am very pleased with the professional service provided by Chris Ryan at Hostcat Web Design IOW. His patience is second to none.
Moggies and Muttlies now has a much improved website – faster on both mobile phone and laptop. The layout is superb – very user friendly.
Only went live yesterday (25th August 2020) and already receiving some very positive comments. More than happy to refer you on Chris. ?

“This is the only developer I will ever use, or recommend to anyone. His work is top-notch and is great to talk to you if you have an idea or need something changing he’s always happy to help in any way he can.
I was so happy with my website, we decided to launch an online shop and within 3 weeks it paid for the launch. Don’t go anywhere else “
“I have worked with Chris for quite a few years now, this year I decided to totally revamp one of my sites & Chris has made it look amazing. He is extremely patient & always comes up with a solution when you’re struggling to put your visions into reality. Chris is also really fast considering how busy he is. If you need a website then look no further.”
“I have no hesitation in highly recommending Chris at Hostcat. He has created a beautiful website for me. He is extremely helpful, competent and professional. Thank you! “
“I absolutely understand that the ZILLIONS of pdfs and probably MORE pictures must have taken you aeons.
It looks fantastic and the Trustees love it, while being slightly in awe of it – I don’t think they every imagined anything quite so beautiful.
THANK YOU FOR A(NOTHER) TREMENDOUS WEBSITE!”
“The website looks great, Chris.
Thank you so much for your patience and all the work you’ve put into getting this up and running for me.
I’m so pleased with it ! No doubt it will grow in time (along with the business), but just to say how thankful I am to you for taking my previous flat old thing and breathing some life into it!
Have a lovely evening,
Martine”
“Hi good evening Chris
Thank you, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU so so so so soooooo much!!!! I absolutely love It!!!!
Thank you for the amendments and thank you for your detailed responses – I understand and appreciate what you meant.
This is the first time I’ve done this and thank you for your patience. It started as scribbles and ideas in my head and you’ve bought it all to life – thank you so so so much ?
Thank you for everything ?
Best wishes

“Hi Chris
I gave you a big shout-out at my networking group this morning. People were amazed! I’ve told them all to look at my new website ? Have a lovely weekend. Caroline ”
“Chris is a legend and a WordPress genius. He has been able to deliver exactly what I wanted from my site and since it launched I have had so much complimentary feedback as well as new business.
The reason I hired Chris rather than anyone else was because he was willing to actually speak over the phone which seemed to be quite rare for a web builder. Building a site for your own business is such a personal journey and I’m so glad I went through it with Chris. I frustrated the hell out of him and must have made his eyes roll a thousand times because I am so particular and demanding, but he was always really patient and committed to achieving what I wanted. Even now I am still bothering him regularly to tweak things and he’s always totally on it and never ignores me. So I absolutely 100% recommend Chris and his service. Amazing value for money. Great communication and support. A pleasure to work with such a decent person.”
“I wish to share my wonderful experience with Chris at Hostcat Web Design.
Chris designed my website and has given me valuable advice on my updates that I asked him to look at and add.
Chris is very approachable and knows how important it is to have a good, easy to read and eye catching website.
I have already recommend Chris to a few other people and will continue to recommend him.
Thank you Chris, Lisa-Marie. ”
“Hi Chris
Once again, thanks for all your help. I think the website looks fantastic and I am excited to get it launched!
You have gone far over and above what was initially briefed!”
“Hi Chris
I would just like to say how impressed I am with the website and I am so excited to launch it soon. I think that you have done a fantastic job of pulling my vision together and making this an amazing site. Thank you very much for the countless hours you have spent working on this for me. It is greatly appreciated.
Regards Gareth
“I just wanted to say a huge thank you for my amazing new website. Not only can I not believe how quickly it was completed and ‘live’ but also how unbelievably reasonable the costs were.
To anyone looking to build a new website or to refresh an old one I can’t recommend Chris highly enough. Fast, efficient service with attention to detail and frequent communication to get it just right and lots of helpful information and advice along the way.
Thanks again Chris.”
“I would ABSOLUTELY recommend HostCat! Chris has recently made me a website for my cat grooming business, and I have to say he is amazingly talented with his work (or art, as I see it!) and goes above & beyond with his websites.
I have recommended 3 other cat groomers to HostCat, one who has just had her website made by Chris. We had very different design concepts, but both websites are BEAUTIFUL. Just goes to show how versatile and creative Chris is with his work.
There’s no other web designer I’ll ever use – HostCat will always be the one!”
“So glad I decided to choose Chris at Hostcat Web Design to create my business website. The site Chris made is perfect and looks great on browser and mobile screens. The whole package was excellent value and Chris was very accommodating in providing practical advice and making any changes I requested. Thoroughly recommended.”
“Was just thinking while I was on the site, how the quality of what you produce just gets better and better – you really are so creative and have such an eye for what looks right, as well as producing such fast loading sites – thank goodness for you Chris or I wouldn’t be where I am at all!!”
“Absolutely love it Chris, its way better than I ever hoped for!
Cheers
Caroline”
“Chris was recommended by a fellow counsellor. Found him approachable, thorough and knowledgeable. He delivered on time plus I’m really pleased and impressed with the results.”
“Just seen the website! It’s spotless! STUNNING!!… and 100% approved. Thank you so much for your fantastic work and dedication for this new website. It couldn’t be more extraordinary than I imagined. Thank you for your help, advice as you saved me lots of time and stress. I will most definitely recommend your services to all my friends. ”
“Outstanding Service at an Incredible Price!! When I contacted Chris I was in an absolute state of panic having been messed around by my previous business website provider. Chris created me a brand new website which fitted my vision 100% (in record time) and it’s better than I ever could have imagined!! He working tirelessly and couldn’t have been more helpful or accommodating! I’m absolutely thrilled with the service I’ve received and I can’t recommend Chris at Hostcat enough!!”
“I am absolutely ecstatic with the services provided by Chris at Hostcat Web Design. He has helped me create my vision into reality. My website turned out to be more than I ever could have imagine, I’m even on the first page of Google when searching for Personal Trainers in Bournemouth! It has helped my business grow tremendously which I’m sure is down to the quality of the website. Chris has been continuously helpful when I’ve needed any details to be amended on the website. I would recommended him to anyone”
“Hi Chris
I been looking at the website this morning and it looks Absolutely amazing, I could not be happier with it.
We must talk about a monthly retainer, so that the website can be updated. I do not expect this to be included in the very generous package you have already given me. Once again Chris i am delighted with the work you have done, thank you very much.
Charlie”
“Chris first did my art website for me around 5 years ago now, and I was obviously delighted with it. Over the years my business has changed direction slightly, so I asked Chris if he would be able to make some changes to my website to reflect this. Of course he could!! I am absolutely delighted with my revamped site, which completely represents what I now offer to my customers. Another wonderful job from a very talented web designer ? ”
“Wow what can I say, we love our new website!
Chris has put so much hard work into it our site and was also so adaptable to changes & quick to respond to emails and calls, yes he actually speaks to you rather than just communicating online!
We have since added some more pages to the website since it was completed, and the brilliant customer service remains the same.
I have used other web designers before, but this website is streets ahead and amazing value for money.
If you are looking for a new website, do not go anywhere else you should 100% use Chris at Hostcat and feel free to contact me if you want to know more about my experience of using Chris. ”
“I went to a major web designer and had a custom site made . The cost was high. The company in question didn’t renew my domain name and left me with out a site for five weeks then took three weeks to fix problem. I cancelled my website and got Chris from Host cat web design on the job. A brilliant site made in less that a week, old fashioned customer service with e mails and calls quickly answered and action ed , couldn’t ask for more and very very happy with cost which was much more competitive than the original company I employed . Brilliant five star service from Chris and I am now getting higher and higher on the google listings which helps my business greatly.”
“Chris it looks amazing I love it. I cant thank you enough for working so hard for me to create such a great website, you are a real master of your craft.xxxxx”
“We have just completed our first year end and I am pleased to say that it was a very good start to our business and we have moved very strongly into our second year! I would like to say a big thank you to you for all your hard work with our site as our website has played a huge part in this and we have had nothing but good feedback about it from our customers. We feel it is far superior to our competitors and is much more modern and up to date, user friendly and very eye catching! We strongly believe that a very good website is a must in the current times and it speaks volumes about the company itself and the people.
I feel we are now ready to scale up to your professional package website but only because we are so happy with our website that we want to add more!”
“I was really impressed with Chris and I love my website. I have previously dealt with web designers before and I must admit, I was feeling very anxious when I instructed Chris. My previous experience when setting up a website before, I was faced with long delays, wrong images, more delays, then and an attitude when I tried to change images to how I wanted my website to look, it was painful if I’m honest. I specifically asked Chris to capture all ages with my meditation website. Whilst I could not visualise how I wanted it to look myself, however, I gave Chris specific instructions and he gave me lots of options of other websites which he had designed. From day one, he was on the ball…if anything, he chased me to go live. I honestly felt I would be the client from hell……However, was so very proactive and really encouraging and amazingly he captured exactly what I wanted to achieve. Thank you Chris, I’ve had wonderful responses and look forward to continue working with you”
“ My experience with Chris was great from the first contact; he patiently explained everything to me in terms my computer illiterate brain could understand, and put me completely at ease! Once I saw what he was creating for me, it went above and beyond any expectations I could have had, and I soon realized I was working with not only a professional, but an artist.
Chris is officially my go-to guy for anything website related, and I urge anyone who is interested in standing out online to contact him immediately! I mean every word!”
HostCat offers a professional and creative website design service. Chris is different to other website designers because of his personal and friendly customer service. HostCat offers great value for money, and helpful phone and email support. I have been recommending Chris to everyone – friends and business contacts since HostCat first designed our new website last year. 5/5 stars!
This was our second website design and we have never looked back! Chris was easy to work with and anticipated what we had wanted to focus on before we had even specified it! He was quick and responsive, and the price was extremely reasonable for the quality of the design. We are so pleased with our website and very proud to show our customers. Would very happily recommend to others.
Thanks Chris – the website looks amazing! Really is great, we’re very happy and thank you very much.
Thanks again for great website and lots of “sexy” moving parts!!!
Hi Chris

“Hi Chris,
I absolutely love it. The logo is ace. It is exactly what I am after. I cant believe you have done all that since the other day. I have had loads of great comments about the site and will be sure to send people your way.
Jamie”
“Hi Chris,
I can’t even begin to tell you how delighted I am with what you have done for my website. It is simply brilliant and I love it.
Thanks
Kevin”
I was recommended Hostcat in 2015!
“Today Chris has finished my second website AND I CAN’T BE HAPPIER with the result!!! Chris is professional, artistic and intuitive web designer and I love to work with him. Most of my clients find my services through my websites! The feedback I get from people is that it is user friendly and very easy to navigate.
Definitely best investment in my business.
PS: Just a recommendation – trust Chris and his ability to do what he knows best and you won’t be disappointed!
Thank you so much xxx”
“We needed a website quite quickly and liked the look of one that Chris from Hostcat had delivered for a similar organisation to us.
The website was delivered really quickly, before our best hoped for deadline even!
The website itself was excellent, great design, very intuitive, accessible to our customers, easy to use on mobile phones, it was all that we wanted. Compliments have been flooding in from people who have seen it.
We would not hesitate to recommend Chris and Hostcat for anyone wanting a great new website, delivered on time and for a very competitive price.”
“Chris performed a complete makeover on my existing business website, making it look a whole lot better than it previously did – and bringing it right up-to-date in terms of how a modern website needs to perform technically. In both areas, he absolutely nailed it. He was a pleasure to work with – endlessly patient and good-humoured – and the bottom line was that a fairly demanding project was completed on time; on spec; on budget; and to the highest possible standards. As a client, you just can’t ask for more than that, and I’m genuinely delighted. I’m looking forward to working with Chris again as/when the need arises and happily recommend him to you.
David Brenner”
“As a new company we needed to be led through this process, we have had bad experiences in the past, but from the first moment we contacted Chris, we felt very reassured and the advice was outstanding, supporting and communicating through the build to launch, and even when our website was live. The service exceeds the value for money.
We all as a team feel very reassured that our hosted sites are in the right place, and Chris I am sure will continue to be supportive. Would highly recommend Chris and Hostcat”
Well we are going to have a mini family Betts celebration meal tonight, the website is just superb, thank you so much Chris from all the Bettsie family cheesemakers.
Do you want your van load of cheese now or for Christmas? (or both???)
Just a note to say how absolutely delighted I am with the website.
When I realised I needed a website, I looked, as you do, at so many web designer’s pages, but yours was the one that really stood out.
I phoned you and you took the time to explain exactly what you could do and what I could expect. As I’m not too computer ‘savvy’ that was very helpful.
I think I must have chosen one of the most intricate logos, but you produced it without hesitation.
I explained the colours I liked and almost as if you had a sixth sense, that lovely warm London Embankment scene appeared. Then as we progressed you added those very crisp clean photos of the flowers.
In fact your choice of pictures, portraying some of the treatments available that I have written about, has just been so apt and appropriate, it’s amazing.
The thing that stands out most, apart from your expertise, is your tremendous patience. When I think of how many times I wrote something, you put it on the site and then I asked you to alter it!!!!!!!!
All in all Chris, I can’t begin to tell you how grateful I am. You have made the site look professional, modern, crisp and uncluttered, just as I had described to you when you initially asked me what I was looking for. You stuck completely to our planned brief.
I can’t thank you enough Chris, nothing has ever been too much trouble for you. You have been truly amazing. I would certainly have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone.
Thank you and very best wishes,
Lesley”
“Fantastic clean design and professional, patient support to get you the image and site that you really want. I can’t recommend Chris highly enough.”
Good Morning Chris,
You are something like a Guardian Angel moving silently and unseen through the cyber world putting things right. I really love the website and have had compliments on it. It’s great stuff!
Gavin
For your info….. UK Sales Director from Panasonic has commented on how good our website is looking so BIG thanks Chris! I am pleased to say that so far we have had 2 direct sales leads from the website, for the industry we are working in this is a fantastic response in the short period we have had the site up and Sarah and I are incredibly pleased with the work on the site completed to date.
Ha Chris
Bloody awesome my friend, what a look. Really love it.
You the man.
“I am really happy with my Website that Chris created for me.. He was very honest with his feedback and I really appreciated it as this made my website even better. I would definitely recommend his services”
I am extremely happy with my website designed by Chris. I am not at all ‘techy’ and so it was a relief to find Chris easy to talk to and very approachable. My website looks just the way I wanted it to and I could not be more pleased. The price is also affordable especially for a small business. Before finding Hostcat I received some very expensive quotes for website design. Thank you so much for your help and advice and of course my lovely website.
“Thanks Chris. Just want to say I’m really pleased with the website… thanks so much for all the work you’ve put into it :)”
“I have been using Chris for almost a year now to help me with my very niche web design business and he has fast tracked my small business into a full time career that with his help, I absolutely love.
Being an artist, he is enormously talented with the visual aspect of what a website should look like, but he has combined his technical experience to produce extremely high quality sites that load quickly and rank very highly. He is always available with any difficult technical demands which is so reassuring for any business.
I highly recommend Chris’ services to any business needing a top ranking website, and on top of it all; he is such a great person to work with!”
All true Chris:)
Best wishes
Arielle
So proud of your work – you really are a perfect genius! Chris you have one very happy customer! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
“Just wanted to say how pleased I am with the website!! The feedback has been amazing. Thank you again for all your help and advice, I’m so excited at what you’ve created for me. I just love the work you’ve done so very happy.”
Chris – you probably don’t get as much praise as you deserve and I know you work flat out, so we just wanted to say how great the website looks. Well done and we are over the moon with it.Thank you for all your help and hard work Chris. from Lloyd, Gemma and Colin at Bacchus.
Thank you, Chris, for yet another wonderful site!
If you are looking a web-site designer I could not recommend Chris more he is as enthusiastic about building your website as you are about your own business.
Chris gives great support and has amazing ideas for you to improve your site. He is straight talking and will advise you how to proceed.
Not only is it value for money but it is good quality.
With regards to my recent site, I told Chris what colours I like and that I like clean and sharp. Then Chris worked his magic, of course, I gave Chris all the content. Remember he is a website designer and will build your site. You need to give him the content.
If you want to work with a website designer that is honest and caring look no further than Hostcat.
Lorraine Gleeson www.hsoh.co.uk & www.lorrainegleeson.com
I’m impressed by the look of my website. Not only Chris works on a high professional level, but he was able with just a few ideas I gave him to create the website that inspires me. I was worry free, only one email, one phone call, and voila….new website. I chose Chris because I know that artist will always give the best into his creation. It is more than business. I just want to mention that all the technical web design jargon is still terra incognita for me, so it’s nice to receive professional advice.
I can’t recommend Chris highly enough!
“The Importance of getting a GOOD Web-designer AND taking his advice cannot be stressed enough – Since Chris Ryan of Hostcat Web Design took over Chris Boaste-Kelly’s website Lovesilverlondon.co.uk – He has managed to get WITHIN WEEKS it on the Front page of Google ahead of some major players…… THANK-YOU Chris”
“This is my new website built by the awesome Chris Ryan who has gone above and beyond the call of duty in helping me to get this ship shape and up and running. There are still a few tweaks needed but I am over the moon and delighted with his work. Thank you too to Chris Bonnett for recommending him, I can’t thank you enough. If you are looking for a professional website with full support at a decent price. Call Chris at hostcat, I couldn’t fault him at any stage of the game… I have been searching for someone as honest and professional as Chris since the internet was invented. Thank you once more.”
“Hi Chris
I love the website, it is awesome!
You are the most amazing web designer in the whole world!
My boyfriend loves it too, he reckons it is really cool and that you are a talented guy. He actually said that the home page picture is really powerful. I feel really proud of my website.
Chris, you have not let me know how much I owe you for this extra work, please let me know as I really appreciate all you have done, I will pay via your online payment.
Big Thank You
Amanda”
“Found Hostcat purely by chance but so glad that I did. Chris has been an absolute god send from conception to creation he has been a pleasure to work with. All communications done via telephone or email which was a great help. A quick service at a great price. The service was so good we went back for a second site!!! I highly recommend anyone in need of web design to give Chris a shout!!!”
“I asked Chris to design my website after being impressed by the previous websites he designed.
Throughout the design process Chris has constantly guided and helped me to get the very best out of my ideas as well as incorporating some brilliant ideas of his own .
He is passionate in what he does and never too busy to help you.
Thank you Chris… I am already on page 1 on Google”
“As an aside, my parents have returned from holiday now (they have been away the whole time we have been organising this) and they are both so pleased with the site and extremely grateful for the work you have put in. They wanted to pass on their thanks as well.
Kind regards,
Andy”
“Hi Chris,
Looking good!!
Thanks so much for getting the website live. IT LOOKS BRILLIANT!!!!
Best Wishes
Sara”
“Wow, the website looks amazing, a million times better, I love it! Thank you so much.”
“Amazing – I am so happy that I have someone more proactive to really monitor and look after the site! I really feel I can trust you to make my vision a reality and get a site that will do everything it is meant to and expected to – so thank you so much! I really appreciate you stepping in and helping me fix the site ? Yeah once I get in touch with my last designer I will let him know how frustrated and disappointed I am in his work because it is annoying but I have learnt to go with the right company now so at least something has come out of it!
Thanks
Beth”
“I built my own html website for my classic car business about 10 years ago and for a home grown website it was great, but as the years went by the site started to look a bit old and as it was non wordpress wasn’t responsive, so I decided a new website was in order, a funky modern responsive wordpress site, but I didn’t have a clue how to use wordpress…
I’d heard about Chris from hostcat through a friend and i’d checked out his website and what he offered seemed to good to be true at the price, a full custom responsive website for a couple of hundred quid??? So I spoke with him and discussed what I needed and paid my money…
I was a little concerned initially that I was going to get a cheap, dodgy looking site and that none of my brief would be included, but no, none of it… My new website www.classic-xjs-sales.co.uk is perfect, better in fact than I could have hoped… Because of this I won’t be recommending Chris to anyone, because then every bugger will want one!!!I built my own html website for my classic car business about 10 years ago and for a home grown website it was great, but as the years went by the site started to look a bit old and as it was non wordpress wasn’t responsive, so I decided a new website was in order, a funky modern responsive wordpress site, but I didn’t have a clue how to use wordpress…

“Mr Ryan – you have excelled yourself!”
“Hi Chris,
I would just like to say how thrilled I am with the site you have built for me, such an easy process and such a nice person to work with! Couldn’t have asked for better!!
Thank you x”
“Hi Chris,
Many thanks for all the help, really pleased with the website.”
“Awesome! Chris, thank you so much, you have done a brilliant job, very happy client :)!
“Up until now I have designed and maintained my website, but over the past year I have felt more and more like something was missing. So I reluctantly started looking for a local web designer and came across Hostcat.
Super impressed with the style of the site I got in touch with Chris and haven’t regretted the discussion once!
If your website is the face of your business and you want to add that extra wow factor give Chris a call, like his website says he doesn’t bite.”
“After building and maintaining my own websites for many years I decided to hand over to Chris at Hostcat. He had been recommended with an assurance that he (Chris) goes the extra mile.
I was blown away, not just by the price, which by the way is a fraction of what one might be charged elsewhere, but the speed, accuracy and with no disruption or down time.
Chris always supplys a rapid response to any of my queries. I highly recommend Chris for his excellent work.”
“Had 90% more hypo enquiries since changing to you!! Very impressed!! Thanks x”
