Hello,
I hired Helen to put together
my website which I designed the look and layout of (much to
her horror.)
One of the first things I found out
about Helen is that she has a healthy level of patience. She
does, however, know to draw the line at a certain point. As
a business person and customer, I found that to be positive
for me as it provided me with the latitude to get some of
my particularly hair brained artist ideas for my site accomplished
with out feeling like, or sensing that, I was taking advantage
of her. And it gave me solid parameters to work within. Thus,
I knew the limits of what was available vs. what we'd agreed
on, time and budget wise, and what extras were going to cost.
I continue to find Helen to be eager
to please and ambitious to succeed at tasks she undertakes
- but she will not, in my experience, try to sell you something
you don't need or that will not be of value to you. She will
tell you the truth.
Helen has also proven to be very industrious
, driven, and dedicated and I've always been delighted by
her 'artistic sense' and 'artistic eye' despite the fact that
she is not an artist and, prior to meeting me, used to cross
to the other side of the street when ever she saw an artist
coming.
Helen has the advantage of being able
to create multi language sites or multiple versions of a site,
each in a different language. Her samples on the eComCreator.com
site contain just such variations.
Helen's rates are very reasonable and
excellent value for the product produced.
Please keep in mind that there is no
such thing as a quality quick and or cheap site. I ran
in to the same situation as a radio commercial producer -
even the simplest most basic creation will ALWAYS take longer
than the client thinks. This is for many reasons including
the fact that you are imaging in your head all that would
take place. For example, try this: read this testimonial letter
from the beginning to about here, to your self, while timing
it, and then write down how long it took. Now, read it again,
out loud, at a speed that a group of people could follow along
with comfortably and clearly understand what you're saying
- again while timing yourself. Note the difference in times.
That's a simple example of my point. Now, imagine all the
inevitable complications that can crop up.
I just felt as I have years of first
hand personal experience with the phenomenon, that I should
pass the info on to you for your consideration.
Did I mention Helen has been known
to feed you delicious oranges and tea when you visit or work
together on a project?
I have no reservations what so ever
about recommending that you call Helen to discuss your ideas
and needs.
Sincerely
Marc Robert North
Artist
PS- my web site has been working flawlessly
for a couple years now.
Thanks a lot to talent
