I’m Adam Avery from Avery Carpentry, and I can’t praise Eugenio Leijten of Blackdown IT Limited enough for sorting us out. After a local web design company over-promised and let us down, Eugenio delivered exactly what we needed with our new website (https://averycarpentry.co.uk). It clearly shows what we offer and who we serve, hitting the mark perfectly. His custom-coded site is brilliant, and his ongoing SEO and Google ranking tweaks are keeping us on track. Eugenio’s honest, no-nonsense approach builds trust—he does what he says, when he says it, and charges exactly what’s agreed, offering fantastic value for money. His attention to detail and reliable communication made the process dead easy. For any  business looking for a dependable web partner who delivers quality without breaking the bank, Eugenio’s your bloke!
