Featured Client

 

Nausheen Sheikh – Artist and Interior Design Consultant chose VAFTA and Plum CMS for her new website http://www.nausheensheikh.com.

The website is built entirely on the Plum CMS platform and allows Nausheen to simply add and edit content, update the photo gallery and newsfeed and more pages to the website as needed.

 

Plum CMS was a simple, fast and effective solution for her and has not only helped nausheen get a fantastic looking website, but it puts her in control of it. No more running after web developers and webmasters.  Here’s what she had to say:

 

“As an artist/designer, it was refreshing to work with VAFTA Solutions, in the sense that the creativity and style I wanted to achieve was understood and met beyond my expectations, as well as providing me with options that I was unaware of, hence a valuable learning lesson which has truly broadened my horizons. I would highly recommend VAFTA Solutions to anyone who requires high quality and a professional service.”
