What our clients say...
ooba:interactive is the new trading name for the Active Organisation's web design and development agency. Some clients still know us as Active Organisation. Some know us as ooba:interactive... So, some testimonials below refer to Active and some ooba... However, we are the exact same team that delivered the websites for all our lovely clients.

"OOBA:interactive delivered tremendous value to our web project.
What started out as a requirement to simply replace our existing, somewhat ‘klunky’ and difficult to navigate website, has culminated in an online presence that I am proud to not only associate with our brand, but to actively promote to prospects and customers alike. Our new website offers visitors intuitive navigation through logical page structuring as well as a range of tools to interact with our page content. Of course, the primary objective of the site is to generate leads and I pleased to report that since the site went live we have seen a significant increase in the number of inbound enquiries we receive.
Adam’s consultative approach was both refreshing and vital to the success of our project. By ensuring that he understood our business activities and objectives, Adam was able to offer advice about how best to present and leverage every piece of information that we wanted to include. The result is that our new website is a virtual extension of the alwaysON team and quite literally has a personality of it’s own! The great work of Adam and his team made our decision to also transfer our SEO activities to ooba:interactive an easy one. I am now looking forward to working with OOBA to develop our online strategy.
Many thanks to Adam and the team at OOBA for our Über new website!"
Jayne Diffin, Marketing Manager, alwaysON.
The Property Explorer
"We hired Adam's company, Active Organisation Ltd, to create a new website for our estate agency business. From the very outset the Active Organisation were very helpful both in terms of coming up with creative ideas as well as being extremely accommodating with ideas that we wanted to use. Responding quickly to queries, Adam and his team can only be deemed as experts in their field and I would highly recommend them and their work" James Humphries-Stone, Branch Manager at The Property Explorer.
Robert Bone
Many thanks again for developing and building my new website, http://www.robertbone.co.uk . Because I had managed my website for the previous four or five years I knew what I wanted (or at least thought I did) and spoke to many web design agencies. However, I decided to use ooba:interactive because you took the time to really find out my needs and requirements, listen to my ideas and suggest your own.
Because of this, the site isn't just various parts bolted together, but is engineered to give an experience to the user and is engineered to get over my personality, not just explain the service I offer my potential clients.
This is important as I want to build on the brand I have already established with my existing marketing.
Not only was time taken on the design to give the right feel, but I am pleased with how it has been built, and how technical "things" have been customised to create a unique site, and not just use "off the shelf parts".
The integration of film, video, news, blogs and interactive and hidden features adds a new dimension to the site, yet doesn't interfere with users quickly browsing for specific information.
Both the design and building of my website is far beyond what I could achieve, and no doubt many of the one-man-band web-developers could achieve. This gives my site the professionalism required to give my clients the confidence to book me.
Many thanks again to all at ooba:interactive for your hard work and professionalism.
Yours magically,
Robert Bone

"The website is FAB, people are making very positive comments on it & the 'contact us' page is working well. I have asked several people to reply via it and all seems ok.

Hook Carpets
"I found myself needing to update my very old website and Adam and his hard working team have been so helpful, efficient and understanding especially as I am not very computer literate. They have explained as we have gone through the process, breaking down the jargon so that I now understand much better. They have produced a beautiful, up to date and contemporary website but still keeping certain key features that our customers identify with our business. Thank you for a job well done." Donna at Hook Carpets
Trace-Solve Ltd
"The guys at Ooba really over delivered on every stage of the project for us. From advising on SagePay and PayPal right through to Delivery and, of course, the shop structure itself. Ooba demonstrated they thoroughly knew web-shops and were happy to add value to everything we asked. Taking the project and making it happen. The design was more than we expected, the product shots are the best in the industry. Nothing was too much trouble, no question was too much hassle and we have already been recommending Ooba as a company that is at the top of their game in understanding and delivering websites. I’m looking forward to working with Ooba to grow the site and develop our online activities." Tim Saad - Director, Trace-Solve Ltd.
Ventrix Consulting
"ooba:interactive quickly produced an eye-catching and professional looking design which closely matched our brief. We asked for some small amendments, which were made promptly. Once the final design was agreed, the website was implemented and delivered within a few days and we are delighted with the result." Jeremy Clark - Director, Ventrix Consulting Ltd.
Greywell Press
"Thanks again to you and your team for all the work you did on completing our website. I hope this testimonial below will encourage others to give them the confidence to entrust your services as we did.
Active have worked tirelessly on our website in order to get it to where it needs to be. Everything we asked for was executed without fuss and they helped with content and photography as well as the design and build. Active are both marketers and web specialists and our new site reflects our business offering in a much clearer way whilst looking great and delivering the information in a clear and well organised structure. We would recommend Active for their dedication to the project, perseverance to get the job completed and their professional approach at all times." Peter Venning - Managing Director, Greywell Press.
Wine2Dine4
"From the first day I started working with The Active Organisation it was like a tonne weight had been lifted off my shoulders. It was such a relief to talk to e-commerce professionals who instinctively understood what I was trying to achieve and interpret those requirements in a commercial rather than 'techie' way.
Their re-design for my website has far exceeded my expectations. It looks extremely professional, elegant, and designed to be simple and intuitive for customers.
Adam & Scott are bursting with new ideas both in terms of marketing the site and suggesting further improvements and I’m really looking forward to working with them on stages 2,3,4 etc as I know that with their support, this site will continue to develop with my business for many years to come. Really glad I met you guys." Bob Davies – Managing Director, Wine 2 Dine 4 Limited.
Papasan Chair
"I cannot recommend the Active Organisation highly enough. They have provided a first class website that met our brief exactly on the first attempt and have communicated and carried out requests with excellence. I wouldn't hesitate in using them again with the confidence that they can deliver. Well done guys!" Paul Goodrich, Director, Prontaprint.
Paradigm Housing
"I went on the website this morning and it looks great. It is dramatically different from the old dull site and a massive improvement. You have done a fantastic job!" Alison Hadden, Chief Executive, Paradigm Housing Group.
Taste Direct
"When I first spoke to Active, I immediately felt that my business was important to them and that they were prepared to work with me until it was right.
It is refreshing to come across a Company who deliver everything they say they are going to do but to also find one that delivers more than what you have asked.
The Active team are dedicated to learning what their customer’s want and translate that into professional imagery and effective communication material." Lisa Martin, Director, Taste Direct Ltd.
