Client Comments.

“Genetic Digital re-designed our new website and we are really pleased with the overwhelmingly positive feedback we’re received from our target audience. Damon and Gareth are knowledgeable, creative, prompt, and personable. They had a clear, straightforward approach to the project and worked with patience and diligence in promptly meeting each of our requests for the site during its development. We highly recommend them to anyone in the market for a professional digital team with extensive life sciences sector knowledge.”

“We had a very positive experience working with Genetic Digital. When we initially spoke to them, they came across very well and were very knowledgeable about our industry (e.g. code compliance), and they had lots of relevant experience. They also came up with a solution to a short term problem we wanted to solve, which was appreciated and took the pressure off a bit! Nobody else that we spoke to suggested this. Communication was good and fast, they were friendly, enthusiastic and very accommodating to our many changes/requests!”

“Genetic Digital have provided outstanding service and advice throughout our relationship. Due to many unfortunate circumstances re: COVID-19 we had to delay some digital projects but Damon and Gareth have always been very flexible and accommodating. The senior management team are all delighted with the performance of our new website, digital marketing and SEO campaigns. I look forward to working with them on our other digital projects.”

“The Genetic Digital team supported Entec Health on the development and delivery of digital solutions across both web and mobile apps like Wound Care Buddy. I have found the team highly knowledgeable, professional and a pleasure to work with. If you are looking for healthcare specific web and app expertise and a genuine passion to help you succeed, then look no further.”
