fusion were retailed by unison from april 2001 to july 2003 to assist in the development of a bespok e database system.  the system was built for the purpose of collecting, analysing and retrieving information on organisations, agreements and contracts throughout the uk.  as we have a relationship with over 20,000 organisations, and have almost 1,000 branches covering 1,300,000 members, this was no mean task.  i was the project executive and managed the users of the database. 

the role of fusion, and jonathan was to develop the system from the bottom up. i have to say that during the entire process i had very little contact with him. that is simply because he seemed to get everything right first time, always met deadlines and produced work that invariably met our specifications. any problems that we did have were always because of limitations with the supporting software rather than jonathan's programming. 

certainly fusion more than anyone else, were responsible for the fact that we developed a functioning database on schedule and within budget. it is a database that not only meets our requirements, but, in many aspects, exceeds them. i would have no hesitation of employing the services of fusion again should my unit require any further development work. i would also wholeheartedly recommend fusion to any other organisations requiring similar work to be carried out.

primrose associates utilised jonathan and fusion?s services to help us launch our website, as primrose?s first online presence, it was of great importance to us.  initial meetings with jonathan immediately displayed his exceptional creative flair and gregarious personality! he was a pleasure to work with!

we?re certainly not the easiest of clients, in fact we?re very demanding! but jonathan provided us with a high level of communication and accessibility from initial contact through to design approval and the website going live. suggestions and amendments were acted upon immediately and he did a great job of bringing our rough ideas and sketches to life, working well in conjunction with our creative team and thomas whitehead our designer. jonathan is very direct, a true strategist who stuck to the brief throughout, keeping each page of our website to a 1 minute reading limit and providing us with what we needed, and the image we wanted to portray.

we received outstanding customer service and jonathan really does deliver the goods ? it was great to know that we could phone or email at any time with any queries (no matter how trivial!!) and he would solve it for us!

we would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending j onathan and fusion media to all our clients and business associates, and in fact already have!

development of an interactive online brochure for an interior designer
html, javascript, css, photoshop, vbscript


being computer-phobic i wanted someone who would take care of all the details for my company website from purchasing the domain name right t hrough to the final product and beyond to include updates and maintenance. fusion were able to provide that complete service and jonathan, my point of contact, was very patient with my lack of knowledge, explaining what i needed to know in plain english. most importantly for me, jonathan took on board from the start that the visual appeal of the site was crucial and he worked with me and my graphic designer to bring all our ideas together.

from a project management point of view, fusion are incredibly organised and efficient and are abl e to drive a project forward effectively. they willingly take responsibility for deadlines and meet them. creatively-speaking he has great ideas and is able to work within a given client brief. he also clearly knows his stuff!

thank you to all at fusion for their hard work. the site looks gorgeous and everyone who has seen it has been full of praise.

html, vbscript, css, photoshop, sql server, ado, integration with worldpay for payment dervice provision


airogym ltd was formed in january 2001 to market and sell the airogym dvt exerciser, primarily on-line through www.airogym.com - we were launching in april and so time was of the essence. jonathan midgley at fusion was recommended to us through mutual business associates, to design, set up, host and implement a working e-commerce s ite to go live the morning of the launch. due to the secrecy of the product and the launch we had to keep the site off-line until that date.

i cannot recommend fusion highly enough, their work has been very good, speedy, and cost effective, and weboutlet, the administration tool is a user friendly and efficient way of maintaining and updating the site.
whenever further work has been needed, it has been handled very well by fusion, with all changes required completed in record speed.

i have no hesitation in recommending fusion to any company looking to create an online presence / ecommerce site.
