"There are very few designers around Aotearoa that can articulate and complete projects on time and to the standard that Cheeky Upstart does.
This is the second project I have had the pleasure on working on with Justin and he always goes that bit further.
His work is specialised, efficient, articulate and above all his work is of a high standard."

"Check out www.owhirobay.org.nz for a sense of the wonderful work Justin did for our South Coast community.
He was a driving force to deliver a beautiful AND highly functional website that captures our very special community.
Without Justin's technical skills and passion for the project, this website would still be just an idea. We are very grateful to him for the work, the expertise and the commitment he gave to this project."

"After a couple of attempts at doing a website myself, engaging Justin was my best decision! He made it painless and rewarding. I also had a client referral straight away. I would totally recommend him. I also love the logo he made.
It helped so much that he is genuinely passionate about people’s healing and understands the industry."

"Justin worked alongside our Collective to create our new website throughout our re-branding process. This was a huge task to undertake, especially as our organisation works within a collective structure - which is not always easy to navigate!
Justin was able to communicate clearly and effectively whilst showing amazing understanding and support for the unique way our organisation functions.He was patient and attentive to our needs while showing great attention to detail.
Our new website is truly beyond what we ever imagined. It accurately represents our organisation and is something we can be very proud to represent to the public. We are grateful for all the work Justin has done for us and cannot wait to work with him again in the near future!"

I have found Justin easy to deal with, helpful, professional and skilled. I have no hesitation in recommending Justin to design your website."

"I have been working in the not for profit sector in New Zealand for some 20 years and during that time I have found it incredibly frustrating and difficult to find companies and people that understand this sector.
Sexual Abuse would have to be one of the hardest causes to market. But from the outset Justin understood our type of work and what we wanted to achieve with a new look website.
He is passionate, articulate, honest, and creative. But most importantly he delivered an amazing functional website that we are so proud of. He comes highly recommended. You won’t be disappointed."

"I have had the pleasure of working with Justin as a web developer twice. Once for my counselling business website and again for the developing of the New Zealand Community for Emotionally Focused Therapy (NZCEFT) website.
I have always found Justin accessible and extremely helpful to work with. He has done an outstanding job of our NZCEFT website. He has been very in tune with the audience of people we are trying to reach and has been extremely helpful in creating a website that reaches that audience.
I have not felt rushed or pressured by him to make decisions or meet deadlines. He has always listened to my suggestions, questions and concerns and has made time to help me understand if something is not workable.
I can confidently recommend Justin and his work, I believe that you will not be disappointed in the end product."

"I found it extremely validating how Justin was able to encapsulate my skill set and transpose this into a visual medium with minimal input from myself.
I see my website as being my virtual back up when I am not physically present; it has manawa/heart and I am very proud of our collaboration and how Justin used his empathetic nature to bring my personal qualities and philosophies forward whilst balancing the needs of the intended audience.
Justin was timely, communicative and took personal ownership, enabling an absolutely stress free process, with the outcome far exceeding any expectations I had."

"Massive thank you to Justin for bringing to fruition the website I was hoping for – and then some…
It was a bit like a therapy journey – Justin is very transparent, supportive and responsive throughout the process. It is collaborative but ultimately client led. I did learn to trust the process and Justin was great in supporting me through what was a new experience for me.
The end result was a really beautiful, crisp succinct website that complements my brand and practice perfectly."

"Justin has been incredible to work with. He has worked tirelessly to develop an amazing new website for us that supports the work we do at HELP and also supports us to better engage with our community and with the media.
But not only that - he has located a whole range of skilled and talented people that have helped make that happen - designers and filmmakers who have also gone above and beyond in assisting us to shine. Justin has become more than a colleague to us - we at Wellington Sexual Abuse HELP now consider him a lifelong friend."

"Brilliant service, Justin has been very patient with my hesitation around developing my website and has provided thoughtful insight and advice regarding how to promote my service on the internet.

"Have fun on your creative journey with Cheeky Upstart! Cheeky Upstart is the place to go if you want a website sorted!
We had some pretty clear ideas about what we wanted for our new website and were absolutely blown away with what was delivered!
We asked for a quote and a timeline and shared some of our hopes and dreams. Next thing, the site is live (before deadline) and is delivered to a standard well beyond the scope and functionality expected.
This website has changed the face of our charity.
Based on our experience, we highly recommend Cheeky Upstart. We trust Justin explicitly. He is a details guy. He owns it. He loves it. He gets things just right. He cares. He talks to you. And because we’re in Auckland, we’ve never even met him face-to-face!
May you enjoy the whole experience as much as we have."

"I am so pleased I found Justin and Cheeky Upstart. The new website for Unity Holistic Counselling is exactly what I dreamed of.
Better yet Justin took care of the process every step of the way. I wanted somebody who was not only website savvy, but could also make website creation possible and easy for a person like myself who has never attempted setting up a website before. I found him!
Always helpful, positive and ready to go the extra mile I am extremely grateful to Justin. I can wholeheartedly recommend his services."

"Our small charity needed an updated and more modern website. Justin from ‘Cheeky Upstart’ was referred to us as someone who would be ideal to do this work for us.
Justin was consistently positive and excited about the project and there was never a time when anything was too much of an issue for him.
Justin was never short of ideas and strategies and he developed & expanded our own knowledge of websites – specifically those belonging to charities – making a website that is timeless, modern and engaging.
We really valued the fact that Justin managed many aspects of the process for us that we didn’t have the time for and we are thrilled with the outcome. We can’t recommend Justin highly enough."

"Word of mouth is always the best way to discover a service provider isn’t it, and sure enough that is how I came to know Justin and I am so GRATEFUL for it.
Website making was a very unknown world to me but Justin took care of all of it. That was amazing!
He has the framework and tools to make this, what can be overwhelming, task of creating a website much more manageable. He even created my logo and business cards.
I was thankful for the effort he gave to understanding who I am, so that he can create an accurate impression/description of me on the screen. I was also grateful for him doing serious research to understand the service I am promoting through the web.
My site looks modern, attractive and exciting. I am so happy about it.
I am in a caring profession but I was humbled by the way he shows his care in making this site on-behalf of me. I wholeheartedly recommend Justin and his work to you."

He has communicated well, keeping me informed along the way of what he needed from me and where things were up to. He is patient, enthusiastic, responsive and collaborative, making changes as required, as well as empowering me to use the website myself, to my own needs.
He has also been a great support during the start-up phase of my businesses, with a wealth of knowledge from his work and life experience.
I recommend his services to anyone needing website expertise at a great price."

He then gave me amazing coaching around how to competitively position my business, sales & marketing strategy and basically everything I need to know about running a successful small business.
He even created a step-by-step sales action plan that was entirely customised to my target markets and potential client groups.
Thanks heaps Justin!"
