What They’re Saying About Us

Sam Starks

"After completing our final web design, I thought this a good place to prevail upon your time only to say how impressed we’ve been with Aga Siuda. Blackbaud is indeed fortunate to have someone of her knowledge, skills and most importantly customer service abilities (her patience and willingness to help us to go from good to great)."

Lynn Giovannelli

Director of Operations

"Aga Siuda was the designer for our new website, and we had an excellent experience. She is not only a talented designer, but also has strong communications/interpersonal skills. She is flexible, responsive and fun. We feel fortunate that Aga was the designer on our project. She is a great representative for Guide Creative."

"I just wanted to pass along how wonderful working with Amy McIntyre on our website has been. She was been extremely professional and supportive through the process. Her design work and ideas are the absolute best we have seen for an event website. She was able to take our org website and mimic it while still making the Walk website fun enough to entice people to register. We are truly excited to release this site to the public tomorrow and can't wait to hear the feedback!"

Anita Yankova

FINCA

"When I learned that Sally Hsieh was assigned to our projects, two months ago, I was overjoyed - she knows FINCA so well, not only because she's been working with us on a lot of projects, but because all of her work has a soul. It's not simply a check mark that you place on a completed project, but it is something you actually care about! It's always a pleasure to work with Sally and I can only pray that she continues to work with us on our future projects!"

TJ Maciak

Event Director

"Sally Hsieh who was assigned to our project did an excellent job working with us at the Transplant Games of America and getting our FAF site both functional as well as pleasing to the eye all within a quick turnaround.

Michelle Weinraub

Senior Director of Special Events

Westchester Medical Center Foundation

"I wanted to just let you know how wonderful Sally Hsieh is. This was a time sensitive question and...in a last effort we contacted Sally. Although this was not her issue to necessarily handle – she took the time to listen to us. She then got back to us in 5 minutes with the solution. I just wanted to say thank you. We were feeling very frustrated with our project and Sally resolved that feeling with ease and grace."

I have over 20 years experience working with web designers, and I can honestly say Meredith is top notch."

"I’ve been working off and on with Katherine Foreman on our portal for Brooks School. I just had to write and let you know that she is terrific. She has always been so incredible, helpful, patient, and instructive to me – each time I’ve called. These are qualities you don’t often encounter on the other end of the phone, and I just wanted you to know how much it means. BBNC can be such a daunting product, and Katherine has managed to make it feel downright friendly and approachable to me."

It’s great to know there is someone like Ben working for Guide Creative. He’s a treasure, don’t let him go!"

Steve Rice

World Challenge

"I was privileged to work with Aga Siuda on the new website development for World Challenge, Inc. To try to design and develop a website that meets the ideas, wants, and needs of all three divisions AND make everyone happy was not an easy task! Aga was not only able to do this, she excelled! Without meeting any of us face-to-face, and through limited communications, she did what might be impossible for most people. She was patient, always respectful of criticism, and able to meet everyone’s expectations and wants. She brought out the best in what everyone desired, without making anyone unhappy! I am 'blown away' at what we now have!"

Apart from being professional and responsive to our needs, what struck me most was her patience in working with a group of people who really had no idea, at first, where we were heading. Her advice and her flexibility in designing and re-designing our website was very much appreciated."

Rita Kaveney

"It was such a pleasure working with Amy McIntyre. She listened to our needs, answered our questions and provided website changes quickly and efficiently. We were very happy with the experience of working with a designer and Amy’s expertise is a valuable asset."

"Ben German did a really good job explaining the structure of the site, HTML and CSS on a very basic level to people who really had no background in the technical side of building a website.

He seemed very knowledgeable across a wide spectrum of the site."
