David Sheets Design

David helped House of Ruth both re-think and re-design our website. The "rethink" portion was critical, as David convinced us to simplify both our content and design in order to make the information readily accessible to clients, volunteers and donors. The new design is clear and makes information easy to access for each of our different constiuencies. Most importantly, the site can be updated by our own staff regularly, even though we are novices in web development. We are very pleased with the site and grateful to David for his guidance during the development process.

First, David Sheets is an artist in his design work, so it was interesting for me, an artist, to work with him on this project. He has a great passion and terrific 'eye' for art! And I think the website he built for me is exceptional artistically. It may be 'fancy' technology, but what shows is MY art, which is the way it should be.

Second, I wanted my website to have flexibility--wanted to be able to update it often and with ease. AND I needed to be sure I would be able to do the updates myself, to save money as well as to just be independent. I'm NOT that strong on the use of technology yet David's design allows me to be the primary manager of the website. I can add and delete images or add and edit text. It's terrific and empowering . . . and helps me to keep my website lively and in pace with my artistic accomplishments.

Finally, David is accessible. I call and he answers or gets right back to me. What a gift being available and responsive is for one's webmaster.

While known for their work on the web, I worked with David Sheets Design on a print media campaign. David was very thoughtful, and I really appreciated his ability to do creative work on a tight deadline.

The client was thrilled with the results, and so was I!

Recently, Aromatique Skin and Body Care went live on the web with the help of a beautiful website, www.aromatiqueskincare.com, designed by David Sheets Design. Before designing the site, owner David Sheets spent many hours learning the details and nuances of our spa and skincare business in order to design a site that represents us well to our customers. DSD has created a site for us that takes the viewer on a calm and relaxing journey much like the one she/he experiences when coming into our business for a spa treatment or to shop. Through expert use of flash photography, color, and sound, DSD has provided us with a marketing tool that has become invaluable to us. In working with DSD, we found them to be professional, timely, and very interested in our web design. In addition, DSD has optimized our site, allowing us to avoid paying the high costs associated with paying search engine companies for optimization. Within the first month, our site was fully optimized and we were getting new clients from the site. In tracking our first three months on the web, we could attribute 10% of our new clientele specifically to the website, and that percentage has continued to grow as time has gone on. DSD continues to work with us, providing us with timely website updates, at reasonable costs, as we request them. This has been a terrific investment, at a great value, with a very postive impact on our business.

David helped to develop my website in a way that I had not imagined. He took my idea of simplicity and gave it breadth. I have had many compliments on the opening page which David suggested. I shot the photos and he put it together to make a very dramatic opening page.

Deveoping the categories of artworks inspired me to get all the photos formatted. David stayed actively involved in the project during the building process motivating me to get it completed.

My art business has increased beyond my expectations. I have been called by a major magazine for an interview to showcase my equestrian art. I have had galleries order sculptures based on the website photos. I have been invited to pariticipate in an international traveling show through the website. So many connections have opened up because of this website.

I Highly reccommend David's work. He is an artist who reads the style of his client and builds the website accordingly.

David Sheets did an excellent job in designing + building flash components for my website. He has a terrific sense of design and can make your ideas come to life with animations that are creative and easy to navigate.

He has a keen sense of understanding of what a client wants and can execute ideas in a clear and precise manner--mindful of your budget. He understands marketing and advertising not just design. He is easy to work with, highly professional and is great turning time sensitive materials around to meet deadlines.

David’s follow through is great and the work is AWESOME! His work ethic is unlike any I’ve seen. He always delivers more than you ask for!!!

Having my website designed by David Sheets Design has been the best investment I've made in my business. David understood the goals of my teaching studio and created my website with a beautiful, classic look and function. He also designed a flyer and business card for me as part of the whole package. I chose him for his high level of artistry and I was thrilled at the result.

Within days of uploading my site to the net, I achieved search engine recognition. People who have seen my flyer and card have gone to the site and found just what they need to help them decide to call me. Within the first week of the site going up, I've had five times the number of calls than I've had in the last month.

I am grateful to David for designing the best advertising tool I could have for my business!

David was highly instrumental in the design implementation of our brand new museum's web page. His creative and professional approach made our intiial public outreach highly successful and his design imprint is still one of the most visible aspects of the museum's "branding." His knowledge and collaboration was seamless and gratifying and his suggestions for improving not only the look but the future functionality of the museum's web site was far more valuable than the fee he genorously offered to help the fledgling institution.
