My previous website wasn’t mobile friendly and had become out of date and too challenging for me to manage. I want to create something more current, professional and aligned to a growing audience finding me on Google. I’ve had some amazing feedback from clients, colleagues and friends and got an online enquiry in the first week. I also feel more confident directing people to the new site. I really enjoyed working with Karen and found her to be really professional and extremely adaptable and patient with me as the website started to come together and we played round with the visuals and some of the formatting. I have already recommended her services!

Karen, I’m so blessed to have you at my side as you helped me to artistically translate my vision to life. You worked tirelessly on this as you knew how important it was to get the look and feel right for me. And I’m under no illusions that you gave me a ‘little extra’ but it’s for this very reason I have worked with you for the past 6 years. I watch you evolve and for me this new website build is testament to your ability and skill . Thank you with all my heart.

I’ve worked with Karen for a number of years and can’t see a reason to date why I would need to change that. She is a little web genius and bombshell with the patience of a saint. She’s amazing at what she does, efficient and we get shed loads done in such tight deadlines. What I particularly love about working with Karen is that she’s niched right down to working with smaller businesses and she really ‘gets it’ . Because of that she offers an affordable, speedy and creative service and the beauty is its all wrapped into her bundle of ‘fizz’. A total pleasure to work alongside.

Working on my previous website was a REAL stretch for me as I only had an inkling of what I wanted it to look like. Karen helped me to bring a shape to that what in my mind kept changing. I’d like to say a huge ‘Thank You’ for NEVER making it difficult to ask for or express what I wanted and for her expertise, guidance, and incredible patience. Karens’ reaction to feedback is unique. She’s amazing to work with. Incredibly special. Everyone should have a Karen experience which makes building your website enjoyable and fun!

I’m thrilled and indebted to 2 amazing women (for my new website and branding) – Lynne Stainthorpe, of Big Idea Brand Marketing, friend and branding guru and Karen Black, of HubFizz, web designer extraordinaire and new friend! Thank you ladies!

Karen is fantastic to work with. She’s got great communication skills, is very efficient, creative, AND proactive. If she can’t get hold of her client, she’ll sort out problems by herself the best way she can — which brings a project to the finishing line so much faster. She’s not only a great professional but also a really fun person privately — which makes working with her a pure pleasure. Thank you, Karen!Katarzyna Achtelik – Copywriter, Marketing & Branding Consultant

Can highly recommend @HubFizz for online marketing, social media marketing and web design that puts the FIZZ back into your company.

Karen Black, the marketing genius at Hub Fizz, has done wonders to make my business visible and memorable! She has the know-how and the creative flair to make your website look terrific and she’s also a tremendous marketing strategist. She’s not only created my websites and landing pages, but she works diligently to keep them up-to-date and visible on computers or mobile devices. She’s helped me with ideas to rank higher on Google search, be more appealing on social media and more effective in my email marketing. Every time I talk with Karen, I learn something valuable that moves my business forward. And in addition to being smart, creative and talented, to top it all off, Karen is one of the very best people in the entire world. She’s become a close friend in addition to being a trusted advisor. So I would highly recommend Karen to you if you want to massively increase your business, your sales and your revenue. Karen will make it happen for you, as she has for me. She ROCKS!!

Karen was wonderful in her approach to social media training. Within just a couple of hours, I had managed to create and navigate around my Facebook page, and had an understanding of Twitter. My next step is LinkedIn! Karen was very clear in her teaching and incredibly patient. An invaluable couple of hours… I look forward to booking her again for more social media training. Thanks Karen- brilliant!

Karen and I have worked together on various projects including; logo design, product labels, project pitches, print etc. She is an excellent designer, quick on the uptake with strong creative and design skills and importantly committed to completing jobs. What I like the most is that her project costings are sensible and realistic.

Karen is a very effective trainer and her deep understanding of social media marketing shows when she trains business owners and organisations. Her workshops are a wealth of information and you pick up new online marketing concepts too. As a small business owner, whether you’re just a beginner or already using social media, she will teach you how to use social media better for your business.

I signed up to Karen’s 5 week webinar course “Boost your business and work smarter online” which covered: website and branding; driving traffic to your sites; content marketing; using Facebook and twitter for business. A brilliant course, informative and interesting. I picked up some great ideas regarding branding and social media management. Highly recommend!
