Some kind words from our clients.

I worked with Zen to develop a new website for the charity MND Scotland. Our developer Scott and designer John were fantastic. Always extremely helpful, patient and offering solutions when needed. Designing a new website is never easy but they certainly helped make it a much more seamless task. We have received lots of great feedback on the new website and are extremely happy with the finished product.

Niamh Callan

Communications Officer

From the initial pitch, to the scoping and build of our website, through to ongoing maintenance, Zen were great to work with. They understood our requirements from the word go and were able to build a website that is both functional and stylish. Redefine|BDL Hotels had a need to create a weddings platform that our 45+ hotels could sit on. We needed this to be flexible and easy to update, all while standing out and looking great. This is exactly what we got, we’ve received great feedback from our peers and users alike.

Clare Wood

International Marketing Manager

The team at Zen have provided excellent service and quality of work since the latter part of 2015 when we got them in to do our first ever SEO campaign. Given it was the first time we had embarked on a project like this at Howden, the team at Zen were in regular contact with us providing us with updates and improvements to make the campaign a success, whilst also ensuring our original budget was put to effective use and never strayed beyond the agreed amount.

Ciaran Donnelly

Marketing Specialist

The Zen Agency have worked hard with us to find a workable solution to help us with on-line applications. This site is our main marketing tool and therefore it is important that we have a reliable web company to support us to achieve our marketing goals. The top priority was to make it easy for applicants to find out information about our courses and to apply - feedback from our students indicates we have achieved this.

Shelagh McLachlan
