here's some love from our clients
We came to Emily with a lot of ideas in all different directions.
She found the core of what we were about and gave us a name and a professional look that exemplified it perfectly.
Now we have a marketing platform to grow from and the tools to do it with. Thank you, Emily.
We came to Emily knowing we could have a great logo design, but our brand got so much more.
She truly thought about how our business would relate to the customer, so much so that my wife cried when she heard our Brand Story that Emily created.
Her knowledge of branding and storytelling put our brand above the rest of our competition, and for that we are grateful.
I thought we'd never find the 'right' person to help us with this project. We talked to some web developers that just didn't get our vision. Then, we thought of contacting Emily. Mayi didn't know Emily yet, but I assured her that she'd like her.
We set up a Skype date for the three of us. An hour before, my husband got into a car accident, so Mayi had to take over the meeting. I received an email minutes after she got done chatting with Emily that detailed how much she loved her and how she completely understood what we needed from a web developer. That's when we made the decision to hire Emily--no matter the cost.
The experience of working with her changed my outlook on what the relationship between the developer and entrepreneur could be. Emily answered all of our questions promptly and politely, never making us feel dumb for not understanding part of the technical language. She even hopped on Skype with us on more than one occasion to explain things we weren't understanding via email.
The most important thing about Emily is that she wants YOU to SUCCEED. And, working with a web developer who wants her clients to do well makes you feel cared for, understood and respected.
I highly recommend working with her. She's funny and upbeat and she's amazing at her job.
I can't say enough about the wonderful experience I had working with Emily Thompson.
The idea of creating a website to represent my work was a scary one for me. I wanted to keep with the elegant and classic look of my jewelry but with a modern style and definitely needed a very user friendly appeal.
Emily was able to take all of the desires and concerns to heart and produce a site that is beyond my wildest dreams.
I'm IN LOVE with my new site and I see the potential for this site to grow with my company.
If you want a constant professional and a talented artist to work with you step by step, Emily is the lady for you. I'm doing a happy dance everyday just realizing what a huge impact this site is having on my business.
Thank you so much!
I LOVE my completely redesigned brand new website!
From our first phone conversation I had complete confidence that you just GOT what I was hoping to achieve. And you nailed it. You took my wish list and shaped it into my perfect website.
And…the process was simple and fun. Thank you so very much!
Starting your own business is never easy. It poses a host of difficulties; honing your skills, building clientele, knowing which projects to take on and which ones to decline, pricing, inventory, labor, finding your target market, the list goes on.
When you have limited time, and resources it's very easy to make concessions, and not always wise ones. One of the aspects that I was sure I couldn't make concessions in building a brand image. Being a designer, I had a pretty clear image in my mind of what I wanted and also what I didn't want. After seeing some of Emily's previous work I knew that I could entrust her with bringing that vision to fruition.
In just a couple of brief meetings I felt that we saw eye to eye and that she would be able to produce a branding structure that would be suitable for my new (ad)venture; let me tell you, she really knocked it out of the park!
I couldn't have been more pleased with the results, and I believe that I now have a realized brand that is representative of my style today and that will also give me the ability to grow into the future.
I can't express how happy I am with my new website. Everything looks so happy and classic at the same time.
Sometimes I thought you were reading my mind, because I couldn't always articulate what I wanted, but what you showed me was amazing every time. I really enjoyed working with you, since you were always so positive and upbeat, even when I started to feel overwhelmed by details.
I know I'm going to be using the monthly support I signed up for, because I want to have a dynamic site and be able to tweak and grow as I go along.
Dear Emily,
Just a quick note to thank you for the work you’ve done on creating and fine-tuning my new website. The work you’ve done is incredible…far beyond my expectations! As we’ve discussed, I’m a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to what appears online…and with all my tweaks, you implemented them without any complaints at all!
I also appreciate the times you told me, “let’s not do this” and gave me a good reason…and another option.
Your expertise and professionalism gave me tremendous confidence that I had made a fine choice in working with you!
Emily, thanks again for all your help! Oh…one other thing…our order count is UP substantially since we switched to the new site.
The finished design is, of course, beautiful.
The best part of working with you was the process. I felt like you always knew the right questions to ask and had a very clear idea of the way to get where I wanted to go. Even when I didn't know for myself.
Having a project timeline and to-do for each of us was really helpful. Knowing the steps helped me to stay focused when it all felt overwhelming.
I liked working with you so much and am glad it continues with you hosting the site and offering monthly support options. Even though I've yet to take advantage of the many features that the Adobe platform offers, it is great to know that when I'm ready the tools are there. Working with you gives me the opportunity to grow my site in the future too. For example, when I want to add E-commerce..I can hire you to code it!
What are you waiting for?
Let's do this.
