What just two of your colleagues thought...
We are delighted with our App, which was designed by the
team at MyFirmsApp. The process was simple and the cost
extremely competitive. It gives us great content in two sections
- first the tax tables and really helpful calculators, and second
the content we can update ourselves, which helps us keep
clients and potential clients updated with news and events at
Alexander & Co and the different ways we have helped clients.
It’s a fantastic marketing tool with links to our blog, website and
social media.
Richard Alexander | Alexander and Co
We have had a successful website for years, but working with
Insight has significantly improved our enquiry rate - and we
thought that it was good before!
