Happy clients

Here’s just a small selection of the awesome clients I’ve had the pleasure to work with over the years.

Stevensen business lawyers

Tony is a rare professional that not only has the tech expertise to deliver excellent WordPress sites but also the business acumen to understand what you are needing to achieve and then deliver it. Tony took the brief and design specs and not only delivered on those but surpassed expectations by suggesting relevant and up to date plugins.

Jenny Beattie – Director – Digital Democracy

Feel the love

I may be a geek with a love for all things technical, but nothing warms the heart of this crusty developer more than the happy smile of a happy client.

Top notch developer, solutions focused. Easy to work with. Highly recommend.

Kate Toon

Owner, The Recipe for SEO Success

I recently engaged Tony’s services to redevelop my website. From the moment we spoke until the end of the project, Tony was professional, communicative and a pleasure to deal with. Tony immersed himself in my project and made practical, helpful suggestions that enhanced the design and functionality of my website. Once my site was up and running, Tony provided me with all of the tools I need to manage my website going forward, which I really appreciate. I will definitely use Tony’s services in the future and can’t recommend him highly enough. Thanks Tony.

Ashling Kwok

Owner, Ashling Kwok

Tony brought fresh design and manageability to my site migrating many years of written and audio-visual content. His technical know-how is top notch and has superior ability to interpret client needs. He makes it all easy and simple.
Tony is an outstanding digital and WordPress professionals I highly recommend

#SHOUTOUT If you need Wordpress help, Tony Cosentino is THE MAN. From basic stuff to way past advanced, he’s a super WP whiz! He very kindly and rapidly got my creaky old site down to almost the 5 second mark, from a whoppingly embarrassing 8.78 seconds. He also helped it drop weight, from 2MB to 1MB. So if you’re in WP dire straits, or just need help to get your site sleek and agile, Tony is the guy to call.

Rachel Green

Owner, Shine Copy

I’ve worked with Tony Cosentino for a number of years and have always found him to be reliable and professional.

His work is always of the highest standard and he is very client-focused. When a request is urgent, he gives it his immediate attention

Mary Morel

Owner, Online writing training

There is no doubt Tony is a very experienced WordPress guy. And he can communicate very well to non-techie people, and he is also patient. If you’re considering upping your WordPress skills, you’d be crazy not to take Tony up on one of his very cost effective training offers.

Philip Shaw

Owner, CleverClicks

If you need someone who has the technical know how, ability to speak in English (not Tech), the patience of a saint, and the reassurance of a behind-the-scenes-support… do more than speak with Tony; take one of his courses and engage him to develop your site, you will not regret it.  Quite simply he IS the WordPress Guy!  I don’t mind Tony using me as a case study/example of someone who had completely zero knowledge and skill about websites, blogging and WordPress to now being able to load, move and play in the background with more confidence that she ever thought possible.  Of course I make mistakes and Tony’s been right there however without Tony’s course I would never have been game!
