Here’s what our clients are saying about us


“Great guy and great teacher. I would highly recommend Jamie’s Pootlepress One Day Training Day course. It was comprehensive, informative and great value for money. I came away from the day having learnt invaluable skills taking me from a relative beginner to building my own website, all in one day. Thank you again Jamie.”

Jason Capra, Board Account Director
, AMV BBDO


“Recently completed Jamie’s WordPress 1 day course. It blew my mind – and I’ve been in IT all my professional life. I was amazed at what WordPress is capable of – within minutes we were creating websites! Jamie is an excellent teacher; his friendly approach and encyclopedic knowledge really helps his students learn.”

Oscar Monteiro, IT Programme Office Manager, Hackney Borough Council

“Jamie is an absolute star in WordPress training, he is patient and a real expert. In one days training I had a fully functional beautiful WordPress site..Book him, he is a real WordPress pro”

John Davy – Managing Director, Jongleurs Comedy Clubs

“Pootlepress shows just how easy managing and building a website can now be.  Manageable knowledge  yet a huge amount of website power is the end result of the one day course.  Money very well spent in my view giving me the ability to comprehensively manage a site but also giving me the tools and ability to build a new one from scratch.”

Steve White, Police Inspectors Rep
, Police Federation

‘Pretty much everything I needed to know to get a professional, optimised and money earning web presence in less than six hours. I have spent thousands on websites in the past and had no idea that with WordPress, and some good coaching, I could be the master of my own online universe. Thanks Jamie.’

Tally Wade, Editor,  Western Horse UK

“Thank you for the WordPress course,  it was excellent. I looked at various other companies offering similar courses, but I chose Pootlepress because of Jamie’s background and experience in the industry. My choice was well-founded as Jamie was able to add value beyond the basic training by recommending plug-ins based upon real experience, suggest themes and explain how to optimise Google ranking amongst other things. Excellent value, and great professionalism.”

Peter Cliffe, Quality Assurance Manager, Unilever PLC

“Like many people in local government, the Big Society agenda and the rapid rise of social media presented me with a pressing need to develop the skills and understanding to ride this new wave. WordPress kept coming up as a widely used tool for both blogging and website development. I felt that Jamie delivered exactly what I wanted; he didnt just show you what could be done; with his guidance you actually went ahead and built a basic website in a day. If you want an intensive, hands-on one day course that gives you the grounding to build a credible social networking website- this is it”.

Gavin Barker, Information Officer,
Southampton City Council

“Jamie’s crystal clear explanation of the nuts and bolts of WordPress provides novices and those who may have dabbled previously with the foundations and confidence they need to get a site up and running in no time. It really is possible to learn WordPress in a day, but you do need an expert with high level knowledge, and of course bags of patience. Jamie’s approach and course content makes him stand out in this field and leaves you chomping at the bit to get going with WordPress.

Giles Brake, Head of Marketing, MSI Global Alliance (MSI)

Jamie has done a great job with our new Connect Streets website www.connectmystreet.org and we are looking forward to working with him on the revamp of our existing site. He thinks out of the box and comes up with solutions that help keep costs down and social creativity up!

Wendy Ellyatt, Cheltenham Connect

Mucha Murapa, Matrix Global Media

“Many thanks for yesterday’s training, I needed to fast-track my WordPress skills and making the effort to get to Cheltenham from my base in Newcastle was well worth the effort. I now feel as though I have the skills I need to use WordPress in my business safe in the knowledge that I can access the follow up resources that you provide.”

Pootlepress built our website to our specifications and beyond – it’s a great looking website and really enhances the brand.”

Dan Parton, Editor LDTonline.co.uk

“I went to Jamie’s day course in Cheltenham, which really explained clearly the basics of WordPress.  After that I felt confident of being able to produce a very good website.  Since then I arranged to meet Jamie for one to one private training to learn more skills.  I not only had a really good time, I learnt loads and I will thoroughly recommend Jamie to anyone and will be using his skills again in the future.”

Chris Hyde

Jon Daniel

“Jamie is likeable and a natural teacher with enthusiasm for his subject.  His answers to various questions were always full and honest, and he had plenty of helpful anecdotes from years of experience in the marketing and IT worlds. There were novices and experienced web designers on the training and we all came away excited and ready to start work with WordPress.”

Steve Massey, www.back-doctor.co.uk

“The course was engaging throughout, bringing together WordPress essentials, exciting functionality and universal web issues such as content quality/structure,  accessibility and search engine optimisation… all at a bargain price! Thanks Jamie.”

Jez Butler,  Boum

“I was looking for a practical WordPress tutorial – I found Pootlepress! PootlePress offer a in-depth and comprehensive WordPress tuition service in just one day. The hands on approach helps you learn WordPress whilst being tutored simultaneously. I am now able to update and maintain my clients WordPress sites as and when needed.”

Gaz Nash, Graphic Designer,

“Having managed the content of a number of WordPress websites I thought it high time that I learnt how to build one.  Having googled ‘WordPress training’ I found Pootlepress right on my doorstep. I have just completed the one day introductory course and was blown away. Jamie’s excellent tuition has enabled me to build my very first professional looking and performing website with ease.  This course is a must for any non-technical person wanting to master the power of WordPress”.

Laurence Hale – Marketing Consultant

“From the get go Jamie worked hard to get me up to speed with handling WordPress. A really enjoyable and worthwhile day that’s really helped me promote my business.”

Jason Gardner, Fuse

“Just wanted to say I thought the course was brilliant! I really got a lot out of it. It was very informative and hands-on, with a great relaxed atmosphere. It was the best course I’ve ever been to (really!:) – and the first web design course where I actually got a web site at the end of it! Web courses often promise so much and deliver very little – this was the opposite. Thanks so much!”

Gina Gibson

Pootlepress designed and implemented an excellent website for my company. We had document content all over the place and over a number of weeks they worked patiently with us to turn this into something professional. Would recommend the training, I am my own editor now!”

Ray Hart, Director,
OLM-FM

“I found the course really empowering and exciting. I can’t believe the mysterious world of web-building can be so straightforward, fun and creative. I’m starting a new business and was attracted to the course because it sounded like a good way to enable me to build my own professional looking website after just one day of tuition. I wasn’t disappointed. Thanks Pootlepress.

Marie Leverett, Social Media Manager www.marchharemedia.co.uk

I have just returned from Jamie’s “Learn WordPress in a Day” course and am buzzing. Jamie was really good at explaining the day and what we would learn when. He made sure that everyone was keeping up and that there was plenty of time for questions at each stage. The course was amazingly helpful – I had no idea that I could learn that much about WordPress in such a short amount of time. It was a really empowering day: I arrived knowing nothing and left feeling confident enough to build a website.”

Holly Tarquini – Coordinator
, Bath Film Festival

“Being successful at selling tailor-made luxury holidays in the UK, we wanted to see if we could replicate this in the US market. To do this we needed a website specifically to test the market. Web designers costs were coming in at around £7-10k for the most basic site. And then we found Pootlepress. With one day of one-to-one training, we were able to set-up a new website for our US market.”
