MARKETING AGENCY IN BRISBANE
WHO Media (QLD)
Website Design Agency
With around 100 Websites, a loyal Australian client base & a failing hosting set-up (support off-shored) they had to make a move.
Looking for a Host who’d resolve their support issues, unearth the root causes behind odd problems, and work to make sure their client sites flew, they chose us. We delivered on all fronts!
Small through Serious
Designing, developing and hosting websites for Small Businesses through to Enterprise sites, WHO had to make the right strategic decision with Servers.
Account Management
From security issues & false promises at their old hosts to personalised service backed by a local Account Manager with us, they’re able to relax – it’s covered.
Modern & legacy sites
Few agencies are free of all forms of legacy websites! This firm wanted to ensure that support would cover older sites through to their latest & greatest.
“Like most of us, jumping from one host to another can be an extremely daunting and a downright terrifying prospect.
Over the past 16 years we have had to make the move twice. Recently, we have made the decision to move to Merlot Digital, due to a ‘Specific’ hosting company’s decision to move their services offshore.
We’ve known Luke for a period of time before we had to leap and decided to give him a go.
Damn glad we did!
The previous move was a nightmare, so we were well versed on what we needed and wanted, not just for us, but more importantly, our clients. With well over 100 Websites and an additional 600 Domains we placed our trust in Merlot.
It all went swimmingly!
Sure, there were a couple of issues that fell through the cracks, but it was with this we could see the new level of service we were to be offered – and we couldn’t be happier.”
– WHO Media Director, Dean Hooley
