Reviews
I did a lot of homeowrk and calling around and decided to go with Mark Cloyd. A lot of the other comapnies were big companies with lots of employees and didnt have that personal touch to it. Right when I spoke with Mark I knew he was the kind of guy that was going to give you that personal attention. I really could not have asked for a better site. The site does beyond what I wanted it to do and it is easy to use, loads quickly, and looks awesome. When I found bugs I had Marks direct phone number so there was none of this "please hold" that you get with other companies and he would fix the bugs very fast. Honestly you can not find a better person to build your website. His knowledge of website building is incredible. I promise you can not go wrong with Mark. Thanks Mark!!!!!
We received exemplary service from Mark Cloyd Designs and are thrilled with the finished product! He worked with us every step of the way, and took a very active interest in making sure that all of our objectives were fulfilled. We appreciate the ease with which we can update our site ourselves as new information and products become available. The interface he created for us is user-friendly and intuitive. Mark was easy to communicate with and kept us updated as each step was completed. We had some very specific goals regarding the site, and Mark's suggestions and expertise made it possible for each of them to be met or exceeded.
Mark,
Is a very talented web designer. He is so focused on customer satisfaction and I think that is the reson why he has been so successful and been recomended by so many of his past customers. I without any doubt will recomend Mark to any business looking for a great web designer and developer.

Mark Cloyd Designs took an idea and made it grow in to art with elegance, style, and life. I asked for a website that would be professional and fun at the same time and that is just what I received. I have gotten many positive comments about the look, feel, and navigation ease of my website, they keep coming in, I love it. It is awesome that I really like my website and so does everyone else, since it is really hard to please everyone. My website is so easy to maintain that I had all the content and pictures done in two days and with my search engine optimization tools putting in the title, keywords, and description for my website is easy, and I can match them to my content - Just the way search engines like it. And he provided help files to make sure I understood how to implement them and have them work for me...AMAZING!
The time frame was extremely fast, I told them what I was looking for on Saturday morning, had a design concept by Saturday afternoon and my site was ready for me to add content to by Monday morning.
The customer service I received while my site was being developed and after is the best I have ever received anywhere. ALL my questions were answered, without the techy lingo, Mark made it easy to understand what was going on with my website from beginning to end. Now that my website is live, when I call with questions (even if I ask the same question again) he is there to help. I will recommend Mark Cloyd Designs to everyone I know, even if they haven't mentioned that they need a website because I have seen some of his in-house systems and they are easy, fun, and do everything that was asked for, whether that is keeping track of a personal library or connecting to a website from an database on a PC.
Mark Cloyd did a great job in designing my web site. He took my needs into consideration and did more than expected.
Of course we had some unanticipated problems after going on-line, but he propmptly responded to my needs and did not nickel and dime me for the changes.
The designer of my former web site, now a very famous guy with stratospheric prices, even complimented the new web site that Mark designed. Mark delivered and with great value for money.
I was using another software company , and I was very unhappy with the service they were providing not to mention the website they designed was far from acceptable. I had been searching for another web / software designer when a good friend told me about Mark Cloud Designs. What a great experience! Mark is great to work with, and is always available when I have any questions. I would highly recommend Mark to anyone looking for a great web design, competitively priced, and the job done in a timely manner. Keep up the good work!!
Wow! From beginning to end Mark, at Mark Cloyd Designs listened, did his research and put extensive thought into designing a website for us that not only is user friendly but elegant and top notch. After searching online to see what I liked and didn't like about other websites, Mark and I worked together to make sure our site had every tool that we would need to serve our potential clients and business partners. We could not be happier at the product that we received and at a fraction of the price other developers quoted us. We would definitely recommend Mark Cloyd Designs to anyone who wants a user friendly, hard working, beautiful website that will attract people and then be able to help the customer to buy, get additional information or become a promoter of your business.Don't wait and don't waste your time shopping around, you have at your disposal the best website design company around, hands down. Thank you Mark for yet another awesome website. Carla Gardiner, Symmetry Direct
Auto Transport Brokers everywhere should check into a Carrier Caddy system! Between myself and a few of my friends, we worked with Mark Cloyd Designs and not only did he develop a system that is easy to use, but attractive as well. I used to use a software that was expensive to use and the support was non-existent, with my new system, not only do I not worry about things working like they are supposed to, I don't need to worry about high fees either! I would definitely recommend Mark Cloyd Designs! Mark is honest, easy to work with, and definitely listened to what I wanted, not what he thought should happen! Simply the best!
Kennel Tracker is an internal project of Mark Cloyd Designs developed for Dog Breeders. Kennel Tracker is designed with breed specific AKC attributes so breeders can post not only important health and genetic attribute information, but information pertaining to the AKC breed standard as well. Some features include: Auto Generating Pedigrees (with optional pictures for ancestors), Photo Albums, Litter Management, Show Records, Unlimited Pages, Puppy Share Link, SEO Tools, Easy-to-use Content Management System and so much more! Kennel Tracker also comes with a free download for a Desktop Companion (Windows only). Using the Desktop Companion will allow you to to take important information with you while away from an internet connection, you can easily synchronize your Kennel Tracker website with the Desktop Companion and the Desktop Companion with your Kennel Tracker website.
This is the second web site Mark has designed and implemented for me.
All of my requests were met and I was kept well informed of the status of the site
each step of the way. I am very pleased with the site and feel that Mark went above and beyond the
call of duty on a site that was meant to be quite basic. Small complications were dealt with promptly.
Once again, I am very happy with Mark's work and level of professionalism. It has been a pleasure to
work together and I look forward to other projects in the future.
Mark is an excellent and consistent communicator. Always open to my requests and making suggestions that would help and/or impact the final outcome of our site. If he speaks in the jargon, and you tell him you don't understand that, he is sure to make the explanation understandable for you. We love our new web site and I feel Mark's customer service is exceptional and he went above and beyond, to be certain that I was happy with my site. Customer service is a priority for Mark for certain! There were no complications on a large scale, any small changes , requests, considerations, were taken care of happily and promptly. I look forward to other web partnerships with Mark and am happy to have made his acquaintance.
Creating a web site can be time consuming and stressful; trust me, I have been through three. The staff and I put our heads together and decided what we wanted on our web site, what features we liked from other popular sites on the web. I have been looking for someone that would work close with us, take our suggestion, and explain our options for creating a web site that would be perfect for our industry. By luck one our business partners mentioned Mark Cloyd to us. As soon as I spoke to Mark I knew he was the type of person I could work with. Luckily for us Mark lives close enough to our office he made a personal visit and we discussed our ideas. He came back with a site that far exceeded our expectations. Mark created everything we wanted and more. He actually thought through how the site should work. He created an administration side to the site that gives us total control; we can add products when we want and much more. Whenever there was a concern or question Mark would contact me by phone or email to get it right the first time. We challenged Mark with special features we wanted but he researched and learned how to implement them. Mark does the coding and design work himself what a huge timesaver. When the site was complete Mark explained how to manage our site. We continue to use Mark to this day. We continue to add new features and other options. The price is always fair and sensible. Do yourself a favor and use Mark Cloyd.
the site turned out exactly like i envisioned. Mark took the time to listen to what i wanted and did it. I didnt want a plain website like some of the more white coller sites. I wanted a more wild website and i got it. Mark help me out with some options that i can do myself and didnt nail me to the wall every time i needed to change a few things. first class, unlike most people in this world!
I am very satisfied with site and customer service.
Mark Cloyd Designs put together a very professional, user friendly website for North Valley Services. Mark was very helpful in making suggestions, as well as incorporating our ideas for the design of our site. He has also been available to answer questions and help solve little problems along the way. We are very pleased with the outcome of our website and would be happy to recommend this company to others.
Mark Cloyd Designs developed a website that I can grow in to. I currently have over 100 pages and it's still growing, I don't pay per page and I don't pay for changes to any of the current pages. If I need to add a page or make a change I just go in to My administration section and type what I need, it's that easy.
This is the best value for the money that I have ever seen. Mark never charges me for a phone call or an e-mail, he answers my questions with a smile.
It is with enthusiasm and pleasure that I write this review for Mark Cloyd Designs. I have had the pleasure of working with Mark on several projects over a period of years and in that time he has truly listened to MY needs, desires and input, while never compromising his standards of developing toward 508 and W3C compliance, then amplifying the basic idea with his own magnificent creativity, site structure and architecture to develop a site that has truly exceeded my grandest expectations! I have received numerous accolades on the look, functionality, and how easy it is too navigate all of the sites that Mark Cloyd Designs created from just a glimmer of an idea I had.
Besides being the most professional, efficient and economical choice, I was struck by Mark Cloyd Designs flawless personalized service and attention to detail! Mark
The professionalism at Mark Cloyd Designs is amazing. I sent them a
couple of image ideas as to what I would like my website to look like,
and bing-bang-boom done. I now have this wonderful website that is
just what I asked for and so much more. Mark Cloyd Designs has worked
with me via phone or email as the finishing touches where done to my
site. They continue to work with me as questions arise. I have
recommended them to a few of my friends and I would recommend them to
anyone looking for a wonderful site, that is beyond user friendly.

First and foremost, the customer service was immediate and beyond outstanding! Mark and his associates were very professional, helpful and timely in dealing with questions and problem solving. I couldn't be more satisfied with the design and knowledge behind the website. They kept me in the know from beginning to end in all aspects of the website development and targeted complications immediately! I've been waiting for YEARS to have this kind of website design experience! It can't be beat in my opinion! I would highly recommend the professional experience I've had with Mark Cloyd Designs to other consumers!
Our organization had several different web designers over the years, but working with Mark was a breath of fresh air. Mark was very helpful, prompt, and extremely capable. His suggestions were not only welcome but productive. Communication with Mark was extremely easy, open, and honest. There was nothing unexpected through the process as everything was discussed up front. During our initial interactions Mark took the time to not only talk about the site, but also about our organization so that his design reflects our vision and our mission rather than just a haphazard collection of web pages. I would recommend working with Mark on everything from a simple internet presence for your organization through more complicated design concepts. I cannot say enough about how pleasant and easy it was to work with him.
I have been in business for 5 years and have worked with many vendors and services providers. In that time, I have never worked with anyone better than Mark. From the first time we made contact, Mark never let 24 hours pass before responding to an inquiry, whether by phone or email. Even when I sent two pages worth of detailed specs and design ideas, he always had a proof ready for me to look at by the next day, if not later in the same day. We requested a lot of customized services that fall outside of the scope of Mark's typical project and I'm sure we were not one of his 'easier' clients to deal with, yet he was responsive, patient, and *very* reasonably priced.
In terms of quality, Mark's work far exceeded our expectations and we are thrilled with our final product. I engaged Mark because of the great kudos he'd received from other satisfied clients on this site. Now, I am happy to be among them. I would wholeheartedly recommend Mark without reservation and would be happy to speak with anyone who is interested in learning more about our experience.
Mark was very personable from the get go. I found out about his service from another transport broker who had been using the carrier caddy software(which I was in the market for) and had mark design the website to go along with it. I liked the clean fresh appearance and the simple navigation. I signed up just based on that and when I found out how easy it was for us to maintain our own website I was delighted even more. I would highly recommend Mark Cloyd Designs for anyone looking for a website designer. A+++++
While I am not a client of Mark Cloyd Designs, I have seen the work He has done. Mr. Cloyd is someone who i have referred on numerous occasions to numerous business owners. If you are looking for someone who wants to do real and honest business with, Mark is the one to choose!
In my opinion, the Red Bluff Chamber of Commerce website before Mark was nothing remarkable. After Mark got his hands and skills in there, the website was a great thing to look at.
After having spoken with a number of people regarding my needs Mark Cloyd Designs listened. Although I respect the availability of options for possible website solutions, I just wanted something simple. Dealing with Mark Cloyd Designs was a pleasant experience that I would recommend to anyone looking to have web-work done. The site is simple, easy to use and the speed with which it was completed was commendable.
My new website is about the third or fourth that has been developed for me by Mark Cloyd. Mark is professional, yet at the same time friendly. He kept me completely in the process, making sure to collect all the information I offered and asking the questions that disclosed even things I had not considered. I have had a wonderful experience each time that Mark has helped me develop a website.
Life has many conflicts and crisis. I do not want to increase that fact with even more self-imposed crisis. Therefore, I would not hesitate to either use, or recommend Mark Cloyd Designs to anyone that wants a first class website developed without pain.
MARK IS A WIZARD AT SEEING WHAT YOU WANT AND BRINGING IT TO FRUITION. I WOULD USE HIM AGAIN.

Mark Cloyd is a very hands on developer of websites. He is always available to assist with any questions that I have. My problem is that I have very little time to spend much time with Mark to learn more about how to manipulate my own website.
And, Yes, I would recommend Mark Cloyd Designs to others.
Thanks for asking.

Mark Cloyd was recommended to me by a business associate and I cant thank her enough. I was not happy with the site I had or the system that I was using to take orders, and Mark was able to tailor exactly what I wanted, in a timely fashion and for a competitive price. He was easy to communicate with, understood everything I wanted and even suggested other attributes that I should consider that really blew me away. I would recommend his services to all my friends and family in a heart beat. Thank you very much Mark for all your hard work and I look forward in a long lasting business relationship with you!
God Bless to you and your business!
Mark Cloyd Designs was easy to work with. We gave very specific, complex instructions as to what we wanted to be able to do with our website. Mark Cloyd Designs made it happen. It is easy for our company to use and for our customers to use. I would recommend Mark Cloyd Design any time!!
Mark helped to develop my website in a way that I had not imagined. He listened to what I wanted and then took a photo that I had just taken of my dogs. With that one photo he worked his magic. I knew that websites could be developed for 508 compliance, but Mark has taken that to a new level, with a content management system that is so easy to use it’s amazing. Mark ensures that ALL of his site are 508 compliant and within current web standards. He tested my site on different computers and browsers to make sure everyone could view my site easily. Everyone that visits my site comments on the beauty of it and how easily it is navigated. They are all very impressed with the online calendar system that Mark has added to my site for scheduling classes. It only took Mark two days to get my site up and running and that along with him being so customer service oriented made the entire experience a joy!
Mark offers complete packages for websites of varying size which cover everything (domain, hosting, graphics, tech support, etc.) at very reasonable prices, and very low hosting.
I Highly recommend this company without reservation.
