We've been working with Smokeylemon for several years now. They handle all the design aspects of our quarterly magazine, but have also done some major standalone projects like a rebrand, website redesign and all the associated marketing materials. The team are terrific to deal with, going above and beyond with both service and design - we recommend them to everyone we meet! Sally Knight, Franchise New Zealand media.

Smokeylemon has worked with Latitude Homes for a number of years, supporting us across SEO, social media, marketing, creative work and brand communications.

Throughout that time, Mandy McGregor, Managing Director of Smokeylemon, has been extremely committed to our business. She has always taken a genuine interest in Latitude Homes, understood our brand well, and put a great deal of personal effort into helping us present ourselves professionally and consistently in the market.

One of the strengths of working with Smokeylemon has been the personal, hands-on approach. Mandy has been reliable, proactive, creative and easy to work with, and we have always felt that she cared about the work and the outcomes for our business.

As Latitude Homes has continued to grow, our marketing needs have also grown. We reached a point where we required a larger agency structure, particularly with broader advertising support, which made the decision to change a difficult one.

We are very grateful for the contribution Mandy and her team have made over the years. They have played an important part in our marketing journey, and we would happily recommend Smokeylemon to any businesses looking for genuine, practical, creative and committed marketing support.

We have had a fantastic experience with Smokeylemon. They've been amazing to deal with - always helpful, quick to respond and great suggestions from them on our webpage. Training on usage of our webpage was made easy and stress-free. Although for them training me may of been stressful but they never lost their patience and when could not understand they took the time to make sure I did. Highly recommend the Team at Smokey Lemon for anyone looking for reliable, friendly and a skilled website company.

We were looking for a web partner, not just a supplier, and Smokeylemon understood that from the start.

This was an important project for the New Plymouth Club, and we needed a team who cared as much as we did about getting it right. From the early planning stages, Smokeylemon helped us shape the scope properly, making sure the key things we wanted were clearly understood, included, and quoted for upfront. That gave us real confidence from the beginning, with a clear breakdown of where the investment was going and no surprises hidden further down the track.

They may not have been the cheapest option, but they were absolutely the right option. We have learned from experience that the cheapest quote is not always the best value, and with Smokeylemon we felt we were investing in experience, transparency, and a team who knew exactly what they were doing.

When the project changed direction and the scope needed to shift, they worked incredibly hard with us to pivot, adapt, and make sure the website still delivered what the Club needed. Nothing ever felt too hard, and their knowledge, patience, and practical approach made the whole process much easier.

The Smokeylemon team are professional, friendly, capable, and great to work with. We are really pleased with the end result and would happily recommend them to anyone looking for a web team who genuinely cares about the project, not just the build.
