Podium reviews.
In our clients’ words.

Hi, I’m Chris Campbell from Wedding Help NI.

We’re Northern Ireland’s largest wedding platform, connecting couples with trusted suppliers and venues across the country.

Everything we do runs across multiple channels, our website, a Facebook group with over 30,000 members, social media, podcasts, wedding fairs, education days, and our awards.

About 18 months ago, we realised we needed to bring it all into one place. Not just a website, something that properly tied the whole business together.

Podium came recommended by one of our suppliers, and we trusted that. We had a call with Ross, liked what we heard, then did our own digging. The feedback was consistently strong, helping businesses grow and cutting down admin, which was key for us.

What we needed wasn’t simple. Over 400 suppliers to migrate, plus ticketing, blogs, podcasts, awards, advertising, everything in one platform.

To be fair, Podium didn’t just build it, they helped shape it. We couldn’t fully visualise it ourselves, but they brought it together perfectly.

Ross, Kieran, Stefano and the team were brilliant. Patient, easy to deal with, and always solutions-focused. Never “no”, always “we can do that no probs.”

We launched on Christmas Eve, and even then the support was there.

Since launch, it’s made a massive difference:

Business nearly doubled straight away

Almost 50 new suppliers joined within the first month of launching. This has continued months later.

Over 250 suppliers renewed early to enjoy the benefits of the platform.

Feedback has been all positive from our suppliers, who aren't an easy bunch to please as they know this kind of stuff well.

That last point says it all Over 400 experienced suppliers on the platform, and not one negative comment about the website. All we heard was "the website is great, good job".

It’s not just a better-looking site. It’s made the whole business run better. A real game changer for me personally after years of admin and constant emails.

We’re still building on it, but the foundations are exactly what we needed.

We’ll be working with Podium long-term. If you’re thinking about using them, I’d have no issue recommending them. Feel free to reach out anytime and I will tell you exactly how good they are at helping your business through website design and support..

Great team. Easy to work with. Top class all round. Thank you Team Podium..

I recently worked with Podium on a full website redesign for our day nursery business Kindergarten Kids in Newtownards. We had just celebrated our 5th Birthday and our old website was just looking very tired and not really delivering for us. I had an initial consultation with Ross who sold me on the idea of a vibrant new website focused on showcasing the best of our nursery to potential new clients. Also being able to set up a payment plan over 12 months was a great selling point.

From the very first consultation with Stefono from the design team their entire team was professional, friendly, patient, attentive, and truly understood our vision. They delivered a modern, responsive website that perfectly captures our brand identity while being fast, user-friendly, and optimized for search engines and mobile phone use. The design is clean, visually appealing, and has very clear call to action buttons where potential customers can contact us or submit an enquiry form with key information.

What really stood out was their comprehensive approach. Not only did they handle the web design and development flawlessly, but they also provided valuable input on branding, SEO, and ongoing digital marketing support. The communication was excellent throughout, with regular updates and a genuine willingness to incorporate feedback and make any necessary changes. If you're looking for a reliable agency that offers end-to-end digital solutions — from web design to full-scale marketing — Podium is the real deal. They've significantly boosted our online presence, and I wouldn't hesitate to work with them again or recommend them to anyone.

I got in touch with Ross Porter at Podium Apps to get a new website for my wall panelling business. I'd been searching ages, but Ross's name kept popping up on NI Business.

He walked me through the whole thing. He hooked me up with Stefano to design and build it. Stefano was awesome too, explaining everything clearly – I'm not exactly tech-savvy! The website looks super professional, and I'm thrilled. I'd definitely recommend Ross and Stefano – Podium Apps.

Kieran and Ross are a great team, they have provided many services for my business over the years and we have future projects in the pipeline.
