      I have outsourced web dev work to Tim since I began my role managing 3 branded shopify plus websites. In that time Tim has consistently solved problems or escalated issues to shopify. He is always responsive to questions & in general I'd say we've had no problems & some big wins.

      Tim is quite simply one of the best professionals that I have ever worked with. Not only from a web design and development perspective (his design talent is immense, and his development work quick, clean and efficient) but also from a project management perspective. It's the first time I've had such a complex project carried out completely on time and exactly as described in the scope, if not bett...

      A great contractor, only good words. Very intuitive, great design skills and they keep their promises. I am going to turn to them in future 100%. Our shop is still in its final steps of completion, but that's only because of our own decisions. The Suburbs guys have done everything we'd agreed upon (thumbs up!).
