Testimonials

Sometimes people say nice things about me and I don’t even have to pay them.? Or blackmail them.? Here are some of the nice things my clients have said about me.

There are several wonderful things about Skippy as a web designer, and one of them is that he rarely says no.

For example: I first contacted him four days before I wanted to have a blog up and running. Not knowing anything about setting up a blog, I thought I was giving him plenty of time. Instead of letting me know I was nuts, Skippy just made room in his schedule for us to get started. He said we?d have something up in four days. He was ready to pull some late hours to make that happen.

This story has a happy ending because when we met, Skippy tactfully filled me in on some questions to think about: Who was the audience for my blog? What ?look? was I after? What tags and categories did I want? Where would the ?search? window be? It was obvious I needed to go look at a bunch of blogs and get back to him with what I liked.

A few weeks later, after a collaboration with him that was always smooth, I had a blog that is fun to work with and perfectly matched to my creative vision.

The only time I can remember Skippy saying ?no? was when I broached the idea of using Comic Sans as my default font. Even then he didn?t completely rule it out, he just pointed me to sites such as ihatecomicsans.com and comicsanscriminal.com to point out that, of all the fonts in the world, Comic Sans is the most despised. Good to know. I went with Arial. (By the way, he?s also very opinionated about Squarespace.)

Because of what he knows, Skippy saved me a lot of trial and error. He also got me to shoulder my part in the creative process. Then he brought my ideas to life. We were partners!

I also like that he?s a responsible businessperson. He has you sign a contract. He?s prepared for and on time to meetings. (I haven?t always been, but he has.) He?s responsive ? if you?re waiting to hear from him, you promptly will. For me, who knew nothing about this game, Skippy has made the process of launching a blog as fun as possible.

Let?s recap: As a web designer, Skippy knows his stuff, he?s accommodating to your schedule, he?s on time to and prepared for meetings, he?s encouraging and interested in bringing your vision to life, he?s friendly and he gets back to you fast. What a pleasure to work with! Email me if you need more details about Skippy, a true advocate for your website.

I came to Skippy for help with a complex problem with my WordPress setup. I had been dabbling in the back end of WordPress and had painted myself into a corner with some of the mistakes I had made.

Skippy sat down with me and and he explained very clearly and patiently about how we would go about tackling the problems with my website. He then guided me step by step through the process. I walked away empowered with a great deal more knowledge and confidence than I had before.

Skippy is an excellent teacher, helped me to be able to work on my own with my WordPress website. I recommend him, and will use him again without hesitation.
