What my clients say

“From the moment I saw Richard's work I could see that he was an excellent designer. But after having worked with him you start to understand how he gets results. Besides being a thoughtful chap and listening well, Richard puts so much into his work. He is never satisfied with the end product until he has captured the essence of a service or product - and he really knows how to use design to get an emotional response. Loved working with Richard and would recommend him to anyone.”
Nick Henley (Planning Director, Mindshare)

“Richard's work is simply of the highest calibre. He interprets briefs with great perception - leading to results that fit with the clients needs. He is on time, on brand and on budget - every time. I have worked with the major London agencies and rate his work above theirs for creativity and a different league on budget. I simply cannot recommend his company highly enough.”
Richard Palmer-Jones (PJH Brand Management)

"Richard's creativity and pragmatism are a rare balance in digital design. This creates a fantastically designed product within tight timelines without the headache of redesign after redesign. "
Roger Harrison (Marketing Director, PUMA UK)

"Richard Day is the best web designer in the north of England. His talent for understanding and developing a concept into a great look is second to none. To put it bluntly - he's helped to make all my businesses very successful and to cap it all - he's a really nice person."
Deirdre Bounds (Founder, I-TO-I & Entrepreneur)

"I found working with Richard, Daylight media, an easy, enjoyable and ultimately rewarding relationship. Whether he was given the tightest of briefs or the freedom to express his own creativity he delivered every time. He never lost sight of what we were trying to achieve and he did not put his own personal taste before his clients and our business needs. I believe he has delivered a unique, appropriate and most importantly, a creative solution for our new business."
Carl Hopkins

"I have now worked with Richard at Daylight Media on two projects from brand design through to web development and "going live" and on both occasions, the feedback from clients has been universally positive and the impact upon the business has been measurable. I have always found them to be responsive and creative and look forward to working with them again as our requirements continue to evolve and develop. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone."
Nick Bramley (Managing Director, NBA4Business)

"As a web application and software company we understand that creative design is just as important as the development of the application, therefore we work in collaboration with Richard, a creative and brand expert to give our web applications and software a better personality. The creative vibe that is created by Richard invites and elevates the users experience, making it a much more successful and fulfilling application."
Parveen Malik (Projects Director, Icreon UK)

“Richard and I initially worked together in 1997, I have since hired him on many occasions for a range of branding projects including brand developmet and web design. Richard remains my first port of call for all serious branding and web design projects, I couldn't recommend him highly enough.”
Danyl Bosomworth (Global Marketing Director, I-TO-I)

“Richard is a fantastic designer with a highly creative approach and a strong commercial outlook. He has the ability to quickly grasp not only of what you want, but what your brand or business needs. Richard never fails to impress with outstanding visuals and well thought out recommendations.”
Laura Silcock (Owner, Room53)

For years we had been trying to develop a web site for the Group, I kept asking our people “how’s it doing” and the response was always the same “oh it’s doing okay”. The reality was that we were getting nowhere with it; it was simply dragging on and on.
 
Then in 2007 I was introduced to Richard Day who immediately impressed me, what a breath of fresh air, with his radical and bang up-to-date ideas. We commissioned Richard to start working on a web site for the Group but soon realised the problem and the reason we could never do the job, as pointed out by Richard “getting information out of people”. Over the coming months Richard had the tenacity and work ethic to stand-on people until he got what he wanted and eventually we started seeing the birth of a web site for the Group and the seven individual Companies.
 
Being a ‘creative kind of chap’ Richard was not satisfied with merely creating a web site, oh no that would have been far too easy, he wanted to go the whole hog and re-brand the entire Group! What Richard did then was to present us with a radical re-brand to transform the business from a dated engineering based Group into a fresh new branded Group of businesses we could really market. Not only had Richard re-branded the business he granted us license to sell the brand in a whole new way, it was nothing short of a new start for the Group and we were all excited with what the future could bring looking through refreshed eyes and Richard’s bright new vision.
 
Today, Richard still ‘manages’ the Group websites which is basically a programme of continuous development. The thing never stays the same for too long, always changing, always developing. Richard’s work did not stop with the web site; we now have bright new and branded Sales & Marketing literature, stationery and a whole lot more. Selling tools we have never had. Richard helps the Group (and me personally) in all sorts of ways, in fact he should be classed as part of the Group Management Team!
 
We are sat here mid 2009 in a deep recession but we continue to thrive and prosper, this I believe is a consequence of the work Daylight Media have done for the Group. It’s no exaggeration to say “we would not be what we are today without Richard Day, he has been and continues to be a vital part of our strategy for the future”.
Robert Johnson (Group Managing Director, Richard Alan Group)

"Richard created our brand and website: www.melltd.com. The work he has done has been first rate, the project was completed on time and on budget and the on going website support and creative guidance has been fantastic. I highly recommend Richard to anyone requiring his services."
