Always a pleasure to deal with a web agency that knows its onions as well as BowlerHat. We've been working together on PPC management, through single landing page, all the way to full website. And it's been easy, professional, fun and easy. Oh and it was quite easy too. But that doesn't diminish the result. Great site, great people and great experience.

I had a nightmare marketing issue that I could not resolve. Spoke to Marcus and the guys at Bowler Hat and whilst they could not solve it directly (it related to my domain name and email) they explained what I should try and it worked. Genius. No fee either. Just honest expert advice. If you need help with SEO, Google Ads, AI, Analytics or anything else speak to Marcus & Bowler Hat. Thanks, Andy.

We partnered with Bowler Hats to develop and launch our three new websites, and we couldn't be more pleased with the results. Andrew was incredibly responsive, taking on every request—no matter how big—with ease. We were thoroughly impressed and would happily recommend them to anyone.

We engaged Bowler Hat to build a new website for our corporate training company. After comparing their offering to the competition, our team's decision was unanimous - Bowler Hat were the most responsive, with the best ideas, and offered excellent value. Despite these high expectations, throughout the design project, the team at Bowler Hat exceeded even these levels of customer service: excellent teamwork with our people, flexing with our timetable around other projects, and guiding our design towards something we can be truly proud of. We are so pleased with the finished website. The structure is easy to navigate, the content looks good, and in the first few days since launch we are tracking more visitors to the most useful content on our site. Thank you to Andrew our Lead Developer, and to the whole team at Bowler Hat.
