Thanks Niamh from https://ourworldisabook.com for the awesome review, see below ..
Working with Rob has been an absolute pleasure from the very beginning. He totally understood the brief and went the extra mile to produce a professional, beautiful and user-friendly travel blog that has received so much positive feedback. Rob is very responsive, efficient and extremely knowledgeable about the technical stuff, but also takes the time to get to know the topic specific stuff, so that the end product is even better than I had hoped for. I can't recommend Rob highly enough. I just wish I could give him a few more stars!
