Miles, we cannot thank you enough for a job brilliantly done, I have said many times that you are a genius and I stand by that. We asked for a bright modern accessible website to advertise our business and bring it right up to the 21st Century and that is exactly what you have given us.
We are delighted with our website and so are our guests who are all commenting on how beautiful it is and how easy to use. You have given us the image that we were looking for and we are so glad that we happened upon your website after trawling through so many others. Although Chris was a little surprised when he went to look at the website designer’s site that I was getting so excited about to find that it was a site for newly divorced Americans, it just goes to show that you should always check your ‘.coms’ and ‘.co.uks!’
The amazing thing is that we could pass you in the street and not recognise you – although we would know that voice anywhere! Somehow you have managed to guide two ‘techno-numpties’ through the joys of setting up a website and for that we are truly grateful. Your patience, understanding and sense of humour has been much appreciated.

I have worked for various distribution companies over the last 20 years and the one constant has been to use the talents of Miles Cruickshank for all my companies’ graphic and design requirements …well someone somewhere has to keep the wolves from his door!
Somehow I am now immune to meeting up with him and relating my initial conceptual thoughts only to be totally ignored and a completely different idea produced… usually from ‘left field’ and of course far better!
Having long since accepted his creative talents far and away outweigh mine it still rankles to be continually complimented by my customers on the quality of our marketing! Over and above his natural talents I do enjoy the occasional meetings at his abode but for some reason, invariably outstay my welcome… usually listening to another innovative new idea/option which he has just conjured up!
I trust K & L Ross will use the talents of Miles/Flying Solo for many years to come and on a personal note would like to thank him for not only the exceptional quality of work produced but also for the many laughs along the way.

Miles was surprisingly insightful when it came to understanding what was required for our new website. At the time, we wanted to elevate our brand to a higher level and Miles seemed to instinctively know what we needed to do.
He then took what we had always assumed would be a huge and daunting task, and turned a concept into reality without any real fuss. With a strong sense of originality and skill, he somehow managed to capture the essence of our brand and its idiosyncrasies.
Our new website attracts comments from people all over the world who say they love it. And we do, too.

Wow! I have learned so much. Not only about websites but I have extended my knowledge of how customers actually use the website and above all I am starting to see real results. Thanks so much Miles for all your help and patience.
I am thrilled with how the new site looks and feels.

If you have fetched up here, chances are you are looking for a web designer. And most people search for their ideal web designer. I think you have found him.
Miles takes the time to understand your business and your target market. He’s intuitive, creative and a master wordsmith. He knows how to work with typography, colour, visual images, and the order of things on a page. His web pages are beautifully symmetrical.
This does not happen by accident. Miles is not a techie who has drifted into web design nor is he a graphic designer who finds it fun to play around with the web. He is a thorough web designer who is comfortable and scaringly conversant in all matters of web technology and design.
And where the rubber really hits the road – at the crucial user interface – your website will perform well.
I know this because I am a recidivist. I have just scored a hat trick with Miles – our third website together! And he is about to do a fourth for us.
I would not go anywhere else. I hope you will soon feel the same way.

ESEP
ESEP’s website is key to our business activities being a fundamental platform for the communication of essential information on European Structural Funds, including application processes and policy guidance. More importantly the information has to be readily accessible with signposting and hyperlinks to other related websites.
Miles, in his inimitable way, quickly grasped the essential nature of our business (not the easiest task) and designed a structure that captured the main information flows and made the necessary and logical links between the different tabs.
We now have a website that is very user friendly, very easy to navigate and is achieving a very substantial hit rate. We receive regular plaudits from key stakeholders such as the Scottish Government, and European Commission, and more importantly from fund applicants – the principal users.
We are delighted (hyperbole intended) with the finished website and have found our engagement with Miles not only highly productive but highly enjoyable.

With large acquisitions and exciting projects in the pipeline, we knew it was necessary to raise the awareness of West Coast Estates.
Having worked with Miles for many years with different companies, we were confident that he could achieve this for us and I have to say that Miles has done a fantastic job of repositioning our identity and redeveloping our website to make it bold, informative and user friendly.

Every now and again I’m approached by headhunting agencies offering me potential employment. Good God. Have these people actually read this website?
I’ve been completely unemployable since at least 1990 (the last time I wasn’t signing my own salary cheques). Personally, if I was hunting for potential employees and my name came up, I’d be reinforcing the locks, checking my workplace insurance policies and asking my (soon to be ex-) recruitment drones if they were familiar with the Mental Health Act, not ushering me in for an interview.
Fortunately I’m able to assure these people that there’s no amount of money they could mention to make me consider a meeting, not even if it was on the other side of my office.
No, my role in life is to sit here and torment you. And I’m bloody good at it.
