Cannot recommend the owners and staff highly enough. So good at what they do and so helpful. Would not go anywhere else for our computer needs. They have written a bespoke system for us and it does exactly what we need. They listen and take the time and trouble to fully understand.

I wish that I had gone straight to Wight Computers in the first instance! If like me you think that you can set up a website hosting and email for your new company by yourself think again! Don't risk it, and instead go with the professional service of Wight Computers. I am thoroughly impressed with their excellent value for money for web and email hosting, and grateful to them for helping me out of a mess up of my own making with good grace, charm and brilliant efficiency!
