Pete Smithies is a true professional. I wanted an interactive cd rom to give to delegates attending a business forum I organise annually. His guidance and idea were very valuable and the end product superb. I would recommend him without hesitation.

Having now worked with Pete Smithies Media on several projects, I have been very impressed with Pete’s ability to quickly come to grips with the exhibition design concept and deliver a highly professional multi media product.

Pete Smithies Media has designed and managed our website for a number of years..this had been our main source of contact with clients and advertising for our stud. I email what I require and Pete interprets updates, and designs an interesting and attractive site. We recommend his service highly.

Pete created and has managed my website for many years now. I don't have the time to update any content so I send a quick email to Pete and any change is completed in no time at all! Even the smallest request is never too much trouble which I really appreciate. Pete also organises my business cards and any logo etc needed for advertising. Simply put, he makes it all very easy for me! Thank you Pete!

We approached Pete smithies media to set up a web site for our business and simply put Pete did the rest. Highly professional and great value, we are happy to have Pete involved in our businesses and look forward to more input in the future. Thanks Pete

I have known Pete since 2007 and found him to be, not only an excellent person to work with, but technologically and artistically talented. He has designed my book covers, websites, assisted me with computer problems etc., all with efficiency, patience and skill. His website designs are impressive and original. His experience spans over many years. I highly recommend him as one who you will want to use time and time again.

I met Peter in 2009 at a business course and he was the guest speaker. It was lucky for me that he did that speech, afterwards I decided to work with Peter to do my business website. I was very impressed with the work that he did. His work was outstanding with such professionalism. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Pete has worked with us for a few years now, from completely designing our website for us, to updating it regularly. He has always been so easy to deal with, and so efficient. His design skills never fail to impress me, and every time he is asked to help us out we are blown away with the result.

I would like to say: “Pete Smithies was a fantastic tutor and technician for new-users of ICT on the Computers in Homes project in Raetihi. He was professional, warm, funny and compassionate so that learning computing and the Internet was a positive and worthwhile experience for them. Pete is well organised in his contracts and totally solid in his reliability and commitment to people.

Peter is to be warmly congratulated on creating our new web site, with flair flexibility and expertise, given 1.the lack of help , and input we were able to give him, due to our inexperience and time constraints 2. the need for it to cover 4 directions, the 2 sites we operate and our mix of paid and volunteer staff. 3 he, literally had to go the "extra mile with the distance from his base to our operations which he happily undertook

We have used Pete’s design skills to update much of our promotional material and we are very pleased with the professional results – it’s great that we are able to give Pete a brief and then he comes back with exactly what we’ve wanted plus more – ideas that we hadn’t thought of ourselves – if you’re wanting to talk over multi media ideas we’d recommend Pete.

Pete Smithies is not only an exceptional creative talent, but is also competent in many forms of modern media. What really stands out though is that Peter brings a strategic perspective to his work. He thinks about how the various tools we employ help to support our overall sense of purpose. This combination is rare and valuable. In addition Pete is professional, responsive, and a pleasure to work with.

Pete has created some fabulous art work for our new offices, his ideas and advice were excellent. We have enjoyed working with Pete and look forward to an ongoing working relationship. Highly recommend his services!

Pete was a pleasure to work with. He was very focused on the creative process, and he completed my project well before the due date. Pete asked me the right questions to get a true sense of the feel of my project, and he took the time to understand it. He was responsive, punctual, and patient throughout the entire process. I will always recommend Pete to anyone looking for any graphic design work. I am more than 100% pleased with the final product. Thanks Pete!

I first met Peter the week before my 60th birthday where he was the photographer for a fund-raising event I was at. Immediately I was drawn to his warm welcoming humorous personality! I felt he was genuine and a true professional so I didn't bother to check him out like I would normally do. He did not disappoint! Peter was available and photographed and videoed my 60th birthday. Two days later all editing was done and delivered to my home. Wow! Amazing service! The photos were absolutely stunning! I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Peter to anyone I met. Thankyou so much Peter. You're a legend!
