About Kaboom Studios!

Kaboom Studios! Is a new Web Design & Development business established in the local Middleton area. We serve the local small-to-medium businesses of the Middleton and surrounding areas. We hope to be able to make a positive impact on your business to help increase your profits, build your reputation on the Web and also stay up to date with key technologies that are changing the world and will benefit your business operations.

Setup by the Owner / Director - Andrew Cooper, in an aid to give businesses the professional help and advice they need when it comes to technology and the Internet, at a competitive and affordable price for small-to-medium businesses. Sick and tired of all the fly-by-night "Professional Web Designers" that charge scandalous prices for terribly written Web code that isn't accessible or W3C compliant valid and use pre-made templates rather than make a custom and bespoke design, he set out to give businesses the opportunity to setup their Website in the proper way at a competitive price.
