Hi Natalie,
Great job you and your team have done on our new stockfootage website.
From initial conversations with Derek through the entire process this is by far the most professional organization we've ever encountered, particularly in the area of web development and design. Kudos!

Bold Endeavours created a website, which positively sends out the right messages about who we are and what we do. The site has a well thought-out design and layout, which is attractive and appealing for users, which is exactly what we wanted. We are very happy. A job well done.

Dear Derek,
Further to your request for comments on our business relationship I am more than willing say how effective you are as web developers and hope the following demonstrates how highly we hold you amongst our suppliers - and being a real 'find' for us.
We have been using Bold Endeavours as a web consultancy and development company for about 3 years. In the initial stages we asked them for advice on Search Engine Optimisation and then to change the platform for our then Cold Fusion based site - www.stockindexonline.com The site was extremely complex but they managed to gain a complete understanding very fast - and this was without a developer's manual. For the last few years they have managed major site overhauls/upgrades very quickly with a minimum amount of fuss and at very competitive rates on both the Stock Index Online site and the sister site www.stockfootageonline.com. Currently we have 15,000 of our key search phrases in the top 20 of Google searches.
As a result our exposure and overall efficiency has increased and our maintenance costs have decreased considerably. Recently we began to involve Bold Endeavours in usability design - this was previously handled by a well known design company. Their input in terms of new page layout and navigation changes was considerable; a dramatic improvement in user-ship resulted. Finally I'd like to say that the Bold Endeavours team are tenacious in finding solutions for our challenges. This really is a company that goes the extra mile.
I have no hesitation in giving them the highest possible recommendations.

To whom it may concern.
Bold Endeavours was retained by ICW Power in 2003/4 to develop and manage our new corporate website and to develop and install a unique, web enabled, automatic remote quotation system for our modular range of power distribution products.
Derek Mansfield, the Managing Director of Bold Endeavours, acted as the Account Director for these projects throughout the programme.
ICW Power is very impressed by the results from Bold Endeavours innovative software engineering that has allowed us to leapfrog competition in driving down bid administration costs. We also found the processes which Derek and Bold Endeavours employed to manage a long and complex work programme both effective and involving. Their business is adaptable, responsive and very customer focused.
We enjoyed working with Bold Endeavours, would do so again and are happy to recommend this company to other organisations.
Yours faithfully,
Robert Mills

I have no hesitation in recommending Bold Endeavours after the amount of care and attention to detail that was given during the development of the ICW & GSS websites and especially for the assistance in the creation of the Powerail Selector Tool.

To whom It may concern
When seeking new suppliers we have three main criteria: skills, costs and inter-personal relationships.
We have worked with Bold Endeavours for 5 years and we find them to be highly skilled in their prime areas - web design, web development and e-marketing.
Their delivery record is extremely good and we find their costs to be highly competitive too.
Our final criteria of interpersonal relationships is important to us - previously we were not highly knowledgeable about the Net and Bold Endeavours' staff have aided and guided us with great patience and good humour.
I would recommend them highly to anyone. They are very professional and very honest.
Sincerely
Pilar Martinez-Vidal

Hello,
I found out about Bold Endeavours on a Google search as well.
I spent many months looking for the best solution to sell our extensive collection of High Definition Stock Video, and was not satisfied with any of them. Finally I made contact with Bold Endeavours. I first spoke with Derek Mansfield in November, I got the low-down about their Big Easy software. I then did some additional research, and then called Derek back in February and we got the ball rolling. Over the past month or so I have been dealing with Derek and his web team on almost a daily basis. Despite being half way around the world our communication has been great, and I haven't been anything less than impressed with their professionalism and dedication to make my requests work.
As far as the Big Easy system goes, there are many features which I was astounded to find that I had not thought about prior to seeing the back office features of the admin system, such as the Rights Managed and currency co-efficients. The system is very straight forward and is exactly what I was looking for in terms of ease of use, and common sense functionality. One of the other upside points for me was that the company's web-development production is located in Ukraine in order to minimize cost, which is especially appealing being that I can be confident to change something down the line and not be charged an arm and a leg for it. The web team has also been fantastic about communication, I recommend you make yourself available via skype as it makes communicating free and easy. All in all, Bold Endeavours has been one of the best companies I've dealt with in the video and web industry.
Good luck in the development of your stock site, and feel free to contact me with any additional questions.
Best Regards,
Alex Werjefelt
