We had several websites built by others before using calmest_ghostDESIGN. Our experience with others has not been totally satisfactory but I highly recommend calmest_ghostDESIGN. We have been very happy with his service. Bryan Hadaway with calmest_ghostDESIGN is very easy to work with and can provide you with what you need in short order.
If you have the ideas... he can get it done. He has built several websites for us and will build more for us in the future. His prices are reasonable and he is a joy to work with. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND calmest_ghostDESIGN TO ALL MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY. YOU WILL BE PLEASED WITH HIS WORK.
calmest_ghostDESIGN comments:
Thank You
Gainey Ceramics Inc. has worked with calmest_ghostDESIGN for a number of years now. We have always found them to be responsive to our requests. They have guided us through the web design process and have offered creative input along the way. We have had a great response from our customer base as to the functionality of the site. The online catalogue is great; the specification charts are very helpful to our customers and the photos and graphics and show our product well. I would recommend this company with no reservations.
Bryan was someone I used for work at my previous job on a freelance basis. He will always be someone I will go to for web projects and I've recommended him to some people I know, when they need web work.
He did what I asked, but also offered suggestions for improving upon what I wanted and asked what I wanted to accomplish with the web site.
I was very happy with his work, as always. Unfortunately for him, I "inherited" the company that originally built the site and he had to go in and correct their mistakes. He improved it greatly, despite numerous large hurdles.
Bryan did an amazing job on my website. His effort and quality is unbeatable. He listened to all my ideas and incorporated each one into the final product. The recommendations he had were a great touch. The website turned out better than I ever expected. I look forward to continued business in the future.
We found Bryan to be diligent, professional, courteous and personable in the execution of the tasks assigned to him. Bryan was creative in the implementation of some of our ideas. He was efficient and thorough in dealing with all the special details of each page of the site and he provided us with many good ideas of his own for enhancing the appeal and user-friendliness of the site.
Bryan spoke to us in an effective layman's language that was clear and concise. He could convey to us some complex design issues in a way that was easily intelligible to us. He was exceptional in following through on our instructions and completed all tasks well ahead of schedule.
He also executed quickly and professionally other tasks which we assigned to him. He was an excellent "trouble-shooter" in dealing with the various unexpected issues that would arise. He has been fair and honest in all his dealings with us.
We feel very fortunate to have Bryan's services available to us on an ongoing basis. We would heartily recommend his services to any third party.

Bryan did a great job with my website. He was very eager to listen to my ideas and provide for me a site that I would be proud of. His input was very insightful and he was careful not to push his own ideas too heavily on me. He spoke very clearly on what kind of service he could lend. I was very happy with the end result. I was even surprised how it turned out better than I imagined.
