I recently had the pleasure of working with The DM Lab on the creation of a new website for Hereford City Council. From start to finish, the team at The DM Lab were professional, responsive, and exceptionally talented. They took the time to understand our goals and audience, then used that information to create a website that perfectly captured the essence of the Council.
The end result was a beautifully designed and highly functional website that has already made a significant impact. Traffic to the site has increased significantly, and I've received numerous compliments on the look and feel of the site. I'm extremely grateful to Chris and the team at The DM Lab for their hard work and dedication, and I highly recommend their services to anyone looking to improve their online presence. They are truly a multi-award winning digital marketing agency and deserve every accolade they receive. Thank you!

I've been working with The DM Lab for a number of years on various client projects as well as our own digital marketing strategy and website. I have nothing but praise for Chris and the team - with extensive expertise in website design, SEO and online advertising, they are both creative and analytical in their approach, always focusing on the ultimate commercial goals and return on investment for any marketing activity. I would highly recommend The DM Lab for any digital marketing project.

We have worked with Chris and the DM Lab team for several years now and they never fail to deliver. Not just deliver but deliver quality whilst continuing to support and develop our digital marketing to ever changing environments. For the Cyclopz Group company site we stressed the importance of taking our time to get the messaging and the site right and were delighted with what was created.
A real collaboration which clarified our public message whilst adding even further clarity to our business and what we're trying to achieve. Another reason we always refer businesses and people to The DM Lab. because they deliver quality!

Chris, Dale and the team were very patient with us when we created our new website. They understood the ethos of our business and translated that in to the website which has helped to generate leads and received very positive feedback from our clients and contacts. Thank you for giving us a website that we can be proud of!

The guys at The DM Lab created a bunch of stuff for my YouTube channel & Discord, including graphics, skins, an intro sting & an outro plus a logo. But wait - there's more! The guys even helped me out with branded merch! They were top notch & the stuff I have is so cool. I wanted a little more of a professional look & there's no way I could have made anything as cool as these guys did for me. Thanks guys!

Fantastic service from a friendly and knowledgeable bunch. The guys at DM Labs have designed a couple of websites for me and have organised some printed material as well. They're super responsive, they understand that we have deadlines to meet and they make very few mistakes. I shall certainly be going back.

The team at The DM Lab recently redesigned our website. They were really helpful from the initial concept idea, right through to the site going live. They incorporated the design concepts we were keen on and made some great additions to provide us with a fresh new site that reflects the feel of our company. They had unlimited patience with the minute changes I requested on a regular basis and provided training to enable us to manage the site moving forward.

The DM Lab carried out a logo design and website build for Rock Construction Services. We were very pleased with the process as a whole with not a hint of 'digital jargon' being used and the end result, It's always difficult going into something without an idea in mind of what the finished article may look like, but the DM Lab exceeded expectations and we're pleased as punch with the end result. We'd have no hesitation of recommending the DM Lab to anyone on the lookout for a new website, amongst the other services they offer.

We worked with DM lab for a period of six months during which time they took our suspended charity account and remodelled it to get it reinstated, compliant and performing. They proved to be a friendly and insightful firm able to speak in technical terms and more simple terms for those less in the know. As well as PPC they are able to offer support in SEO. They are a great addition to the Digital Marketing of any company charity looking for personable effect digital support. Thanks Chris and the DM team.
