We made a sweet new website for http://mortarandmore.com and got this testimonial... nice.

"We were delighted to have the opportunity to work with Smudge Design on the build of our new website. It can be a daunting task bringing a site together whilst looking for a quick turnaround. When we spoke to Mick he put us at ease straight away. He pointed us in the right direction from the very outset, giving ideas on websites that would work easily for us, particularly when updating the blog in-house. Once all information was sent across, Smudge Design had the website live in a matter of days. For a hassle free service, from folks who find a challenge even more of a delight, we would highly recommend Smudge Design."
