About the Provider

Purple Creative  is an award winning digital agency based in North Yorkshire.

They specialise in beautiful and functional websites, eye catching Graphic Design, stand out Digital Marketing and IT Services.

“When Purple Creative offered an opportunity to be taught the basics to make a website on Squarespace- I jumped at the chance!

I had often thought of and discussed a website but didn’t have the technological expertise myself to do so or the funds to pay someone else to make one, so this was the perfect combination.

The teaching was great, as much or little help as you needed and hints and tips throughout the day, from personal hints and preferences for consideration, to how to make the website user friendly and clear for customers to find content quickly.

I now have a fully functioning website where customers can read about our company, order a produce box for delivery, or make enquiries. It has improved the box delivery side of the business to have the capability for customers to easily order a product online.”
