 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've worked with Paul for a few years now on client website builds and support. He's always up to date with the latest technology in Wordpress and his demeanor and communication is second to none. I highly recommend Gold Coast Business Websites for Wordpress sites with or without eCommerce functionality.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Paul is the real deal!  I have dealt with a few website developers in the past, and I found the process to be so frustrating.  My experience with Paul has been completely different.  He has now been my web developer & programmer for many years, and I can't speak highly enough of his services.  He also looks after the security of my business website.  In fact I don't know what I would have done without him, on many occasions.  He is honest, trustworthy,  efficient, he offers exellent customer service, he is a great communicator, he is patient, and his work quality is exceptional.  If you are after a web developer, look no further - Paul is your guy!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I first started working with Paul back in 2013 as a Wordpress novice. Paul gave a very tailored, hands on and patient service as a trainer. Since that time I have built 3 x different websites (for different services) with the assistance of Paul's expertise and have used his services for ongoing support. I continue to get positive feedback from visitors to my websites. I have found Paul's demeanor to especially useful in my needs for web development. Paul has a positive 'can do' attitude and is delight to work with. I trust his advice and guidance and have referred him to both family and friends. It is a pleasure to write this recommendation.
