Reviews
by Lead Pastor of Grandview Chapel at Grandview Chapel Dawson Creek
www.grandviewchapel.ca
Working with Designed Consulting was excellent, their knowledge of church websites and their theory with the end-user perspective in mind was quite educational. I highly recommend them for any website services. And its great that they are a local company! This makes it easy for me for making revision requests and quick contact in case I need any advancements on our website. If you are looking for a web designer - Designed Consulting is the best!
My expectations were exceeded. I had a clear image of what I wanted my website to look and feel like and my web designer not only met that image but created a dynamic and far more interesting website than I could have even imagined. I had excellent recommendations from my web designer. An important aspect of my website was to make it user friendly for me to edit periodically with new photos and information. My web designer explained how I could do this with little to no 'code jargon' and really made it an exciting feature for me to help in a sense build the website with him. Another expectation exceeded was our chosen photos that we wanted to use. Our designer took the time and creativity to edit our photos and make them more appealing and in theme with our product, this was something we hadn't asked for or even considered but he went ahead and added a great addition to our website. Once our website was completed we had directed our inquiries to visit our 'new' site. The response has been phenomenal. People genuinely enjoy visiting our site! We wish we would have done this sooner. I would highly recommend the services of our web designer to anyone, especially a small business like ours. Many thanks to Tony Vigar for his patience, knowledge, creativity and professionalism.

Our website designer was incredible. The website is great and is getting better all the time. All the feedback that's been given has been taken into consideration and changes have been made in an incredibly timely manner. The technical support that we have received has been unbelievable. Our designer has been flexible and patient, and has made meeting our website needs a priority. I believe this experience could not have been half as smooth and enjoyable with any other design company.
Designed Consulting was very quick at getting my site up and running! With precision and skill, and after a flurry of emails, our site was live within a few days! In the initial planning stages - They listened to our needs, captured our vision and key mantra and we are very pleased with the final presentation! If you need a site fast and professionally done - go with Designed Consulting.
Designed Consulting has helped our company in so many ways. Working with Tony was so easy and quick. He always answered my questions quickly; he took the time to explain to me anything that I needed. They worked with me on our vision for our site. They provided suggestions and comments that were appreciated. Our site is amazing and has had many comments on how well it looks and flows. I would work with Designed Consulting again in a flash. We are so very happy. Thank you!!!!
Designed Consulting comments:
Working with Tanya from Desana Motors was a real treat... I always enjoy meeting new clients and helping them achieve their dreams... I always see their product on the streets of Manitoba, and they are pretty nice-looking wheels, I'm glad that we could develop a website that matched their sleek look.
We appreciated Tony right from the beginning. He took the time you listen and gave us a number of different options. After much decision making he steered us in the right direction. It was easy to understand what he was going to be doing for us. His service is great.
He made it look real great and for a great price. Thanks alot Tony!!!!

Working with Doreen to capture her vision and present it to the world was a joy! My goal was to facilitate her personality and style, and present that to her visitors - in order to maintain a congruent culture flow of presentation and presentator! I consider it an honour to be able work with her and help connect people to her valuable resource!
Tony did a fantastic job and I would not hesitate to utilize his services in the future. There were a number of reasons why I choose to have Tony Vigar from designedconsulting.ca work on my site. My inital impression was excellent. Right away I felt I was dealing with someone who was responsive. He was prompt, accurate and clear in his response to my questions. Like many people, I don't have a lot of time, so I was also very impressed with his ability to develop my site in a timely manner. My web site was much more than I expected. I provided an example of what I was aiming for in the initial stages. He exceeded my expectation by a long shot. His prices were reasonable and he didn't nickle and dime you for some of the extra time that was needed above and beyond his quote. This I appreciated! And one of the reasons why I will have Tony Vigar work on my next site. Tony also kept me informed at every stage. Many times providing updates more than once per day. I recommend Tony Vigar from designedconsulting. He did a great job!

Couldn't be more pleased and satisfied with the end product. It is everything I was looking for but even more. The designed was able to bring Designed Consulting's expertise to my needs and create something even better than I has imagined. Excellent communication and responsiveness throughout the design process; always very timely. Designer listens carefully to my vision, stays faithful to that vision, but brings more to the project. Took the time to explain the steps in the process, explain any technical pieces along that way; very user friendly.
