Kind words from lovely people

“I had a really complex idea that I wasn’t entirely sure would work once it came out of my head and heart. I just knew the essence was magic but how do you translate that into code on a website?

That was essentially my brief to Sarah and she immediately understood the vision and the quest, and took on the project with such a genuine burst of enthusiasm, she made me believe it was all possible. For every creative dilemma, she came up with a clear strategy. She’s an essential member of my team; not only does she think in ways I just cannot and will not ever, she puts her creative heart and artist’s soul into everything.

Without Sarah, The Collective Energies would never have got off the ground. It’s thanks to her that within a matter of weeks a beautiful longterm vision became a heart led business that now supports many”.

"I actually thought I might try and create my own website and stitch together the booking, payment, Zoom etc parts. Thankfully at this point a fellow yoga teacher recommended Brightfeather Studio. 

I’m a self-employed yoga teacher who started online classes for the first time in the Covid-19 lockdown. It was all new to me - an ageing technophobe - but I got onto Zoom and got going. And so did my lovely students. And we’ve never looked back. But I quickly realised I need to professionalise my online offering to ensure secure booking and pre-payment as well as to better market my range of classes.

Right from the start Sarah has held my hand, laid out the process clearly and supported and advised me at each step. She quickly understood my needs and was able to advise which site platform, booking platform and payment system would best suit me, saving me hours if not days of research.

Her designs are beautiful and she is able to capture the spirit of the offering visually as well as ensuring the site makes practical sense for the user. And her price is amazing.

For the detail and personalisation she is offering it is serious value for money for a tiny one-person business like me. Oh and she’s calm. She has kept me calm. My site is nearly finished and I’m SO excited. She has brought my work to life and will save me hours of admin each month allowing me to focus on my students and my teaching. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

“Sarah really understood my style, most comments I have about my website are that "it looks so much like me!". She captured my personality, business and teaching style perfectly.

Sarah was incredible my website was designed beautifully and quickly.

We built an online community membership platform, which exceeded my expectations! The goal I set myself was to have 50 members join my monthly subscription benefitting from the online yoga video library and within one month of launch I now have over 100 members. I'm delighted as this helps me to serve more people than I expected to during these times of distancing.

The graphics are lovely, it's really interactive and the back end is really straightforward for me change. Sarah is the most efficient and friendly web designer I have ever come across. She made it her mission to really understand my direction and natural style - she nailed it. I would 100% be using Sarah for any future projects. 

I have already recommended her to half of the yoga industry!

 Sarah at brightfeather was brilliant. Her artistry, level of expertise and clarity of approach shone - and were only matched by the ease and playful seriousness of our FaceTime interactions. Brava, Sarah!

"Sarah was great. Thinks really commercially for an interweb design person, which is rare in itself!"

Dominic Hiatt - The Great British Bounceback

 I loved working with Sarah as she made a complex process of designing a website easy and fun...

I had no idea where to start as I wasn’t sure what I wanted my website to look like and didn’t have a logo in mind...essentially I had a semblance of an idea which Sarah then took the information and very quickly turned it into a fantastic website....she was intuitive with her design and had my whole website done within a few days...I felt Sarah listened well to my needs and was easily contactable through the whole website development...I felt that Sarah exceeded my expectations and I would highly recommend her services...thank you very much.

 I just worked with Sarah on a brand new website, and she went above and beyond. If you are wondering if you should work with her, the answer is YES! :D

Fantastic job!

Arielle - Singer Songwriter

Sarah is a magician. This is my second time working with her. I love her work and her friendly efficiency. She is my go-to web design person. I highly recommend! She took my ideas and transformed them into a beautiful website. I’m beyond thrilled with her work. Do not hesitate to hire her. "

Jamie Rose - Coach 

I am more than over the moon 🌙 that my brand design is finished. Setting up my own business is so so scary yet so rewarding. Thank you to Brightfeather Studio for doing all the hard work on this and my website.

Daisy Steinberg - Nutritionist and wellbeing blogger

Sarah is a dream to work with. I couldn't be happier with her knowledge, understanding, dedication and patience and tenacity in determinedly finding solutions to tricky propositions that I've put to her.

I came to Sarah with very specific ideas about what I wanted and how it should look, but no idea of how to get there. A dream customer. not. 
She's been brilliant in realising my vision whilst also gently guiding me towards improvements in both aesthetic and function based on her own experience.

Seemingly always available at the other end of the phone even though I'm currently living in a different time zone, I really can't recommend her highly enough!

Jo Thornill

“I met Sarah at the start of my journey, I had an idea of where my brand was going but it was all a little vague. Sarah has patiently worked with me, not only to build a beautiful website and to demystify the world of webdesign but as a brand advocate and personal support.

I cannot recommend Sarah highly enough. She picked me up when I felt that I was never going to be able to launch on time, gave me solid design advice and made me some beautiful graphics. Sarah understands the constraints that small businesses and new starts up face and she goes the extra mile to make sure that you get an exceptional product for a really reasonable outlay. I will continue to work closely with Sarah as my brand grows, she's left me feeling like I can competently edit my website myself but I will miss her smiley disposition so I will be sure to check in regularly.

If you are looking for someone with oodles of knowledge, who's highly organised and can give you a kick up the butt when needed than Brightfeather Studio is for you.

 I had such a nightmare with my previous website, with two designers going AWOL and then someone hacking it! I nearly gave up altogether, but meeting Sarah at Brightfeather has been brilliant! She's created a beautiful site for me and has recently completed my new membership site. Her passion, care and hard work are in abundance and she's lovely too!  Thank you Sarah.

I have been repeatedly impressed with her artistry and communication. Her attention to detail and ability to grasp concepts quickly have been a godsend to my business.

Sarah asks the right questions and helps you put together the brief she needs. Not only has she has spruced up my website, designed beautiful logos and programme banners, she has also created high-converting lead pages (a must for anyone with web presence!)

Above all, it is a relief to have a talented web designer that I can rely on as many have let me down in the past.

I have several more projects in the wings and knowing that Sarah is my reliable designer is helping me move my business forward.

 After a series of frustrating abortive attempts of my own at Wordpress, and further frustrating attempts at trying to find someone who understood what I was after, it felt like deliverance to have Sarah at Brightfeather Studio step into the fray and calmly take up the reins. 

Maybe you’ll have a clear idea of what you want your business brand to look like, maybe you won’t, but Sarah’s questions will help you to work out what you want to achieve with your website and the kind of people you want to appeal to. Her thoughtful ability to listen and her efficient sense of calm will help guide you through the more anxious aspects of defining what you want, and if what you want isn’t available or possible, then she’ll do her best to find alternative options for you to consider. 
But time and time again, what totally blows me away is how she always manages to transform my decidedly non-technie, often vague demands into something that not only works brilliantly but looks absolutely stunning. She gives you an on-line identity that is arresting, powerful and memorable. She turns your websites into places that people want to linger in a little longer, thanks to their uncluttered sense of beauty. 

Grounded by an approachable sense of calm, Sarah combines technical whizzy know-how with the eye of an artist for beauty. In short, your website will not only work efficiently and smoothly, but it will give your brand that professional and often elusive wow-factor. I would wholeheartedly and unhesitatingly recommend Sarah Jeffs.

Kate Wickens - Best selling author

“Sarah really took time to find out about me, my business and what I wanted to achieve. She gave me great ideas and captured what my business is all about. She was on it and it was ready within a week! I’m so proud of my logo, everyone comments on it and I would not hesitate to use Sarah’s skills again! Thank you so much!”

Hollie Owen - Holistic and remedial therapist

“Sarah Jeffs at Brightfeather Studio is a creative, highly original artist who also has the additional technological dexterity for anybody who requires help with their website.

She is a warm and intelligent person, expert in listening but also very helpful in offering ideas that will enhance the overall impact of your website. 

Sarah is reliable and consistent, and I am extremely satisfied with the work she’s done for me.

Philippa Aspey - Integrative Counsellor / Psychotherapist

"Sarah was such a vital part of my team particularly throughout covid- not only supporting myself but the much wider community of teachers we look after.

We all had to hit the ground running and pivot our business online in a matter of hours.

None of us had the skills or time to research and learn and she was always there offering support, up to date information, best practices, essential tools and ideas - at such a crucial time".

Naomi Absalom - Founder of Liberate and Elevate Teacher Mentoring Programme
