I recently contracted Therasia K to develop a quick website that would be simple to navigate and effective in its communication. I soon discovered that Therasia was a highly professional service that answered all my question in a non-technical and honest way. I felt I had Theraisa full attention and she showed total dedication to my project that had a short production timeframe. I am very happy with her work and my website does the job of presenting a clear message.

I was referred to Theraisa K by another company that had liked her work. Theraisa was courteous, attentive, and always considerate of my views on site design. As well as always being responsive to my e-mailed questions, Theraisa easily "got on board" with my site suggestions and goals. I appreciated retaining editing control, yet having her guidance in how my website needed to appear and what content was important. She took my ideas, streamlined them, and provided a clean, business-like website that met all my goals. Theaisa communicated well. I was especially impressed with her graphic design. She would always provide multiple choices, and she would keep designing alternative proofs until I was satisfied. I'm a fussy, detail-type person, and Theraisa never seemed frustrated by my many questions. I felt like we were a team with the same goal. Never any negatives. TheraisaK is a great person to work closely with on a project, yet I feel she would also provide a good product given the freedom to work entirely on her own. I can't say enough...she's awesome.

Theraisak.com incorporates an incredible attention to detail. She's motivated and hard working individual who strives for excellence in all she pursues. But beyond that she's also flexible, creative and willing to adjust things to the liking of the individual.

We speak frequently through email and it's always easy to maintain contact and communication. I feel that my site is in good hands when she is updating it or tweaking things. Besides the incredible services I was also honored by the art that she created specifically for the sight and it was a complete surprise that completely blew me away it was so beautiful. I actually teared up a little :)

Theraisa and I have a great business relationship, she is quick to respond, offers suggestions and is quick to follow the direction I give. She would always email mock ups for approval for re-designing and took feedback well.

She would always break down techno-babble into understandable english when I had questions. I am very happy with her work and her dedication to me as a client. On a scale of 1-10 as a service (10 being the highest) I would give her a 12.

A: Hopefully in a store front/studio location still providing low cost services (but more of them!)
