“Colleen at Aquis was responsible for the layout, stylizing and functionality of the pages. I presented her with a tremendous amount of information that she arranged in a way that makes it incredibly easy to navigate. Many of my clients and customers have complimented me on how user-friendly the website is. My ultimate goal was to sell my bags through the website, and again she held my hand as we worked our way through the complex banking issues. Colleen also designed complimentary marketing materials.
“Overall, my business has taken off since the
launch of the website. I have no doubt that the professionalism and visual
appeal of the site has attracted a huge percentage of our new business.
Colleen had the patience and foresight to deal with my (ever changing)
requests and took great initiative when she came across ways to improve
the site. On a couple of occasions, the problems I thought were going
to slow us down were already solved.”
- Jill Bornemann, Owner, Slãinte
"I had been putting off redesigning my web site
as it seemed like too much work and Illuminated is a small professional
services company. But that all changed as Aquis Consulting provided a
clear design process, worked with me patiently on clarifying my strategy
and needs, and executed the site design brilliantly. We use the new site
for marketing material so it not only cuts down on creating new material
all the time but it also has gotten great feedback from clients. It provides
us the professional image to go with our established professional service."
- Mark Allen, President, Illuminated Consulting LLC
"Working with Colleen to design a website has
been the least challenging aspect of doing business so far. Colleen is
thoughtful and fun, but most importantly, she designed a beautiful site.
She took the time to review and translate a large collection of imagery
and information into a wonderful advertising presence. Colleen is also
a great asset because she is readily available to answer questions, offer
suggestions and just generally be a pleasure to work with."
- Raina Colombo, Owner, Raina Made in California
“Colleen has created a superb website for the
Native Plant Society of Oregon’s Portland Chapter. Her website design
is attractive and easy to navigate, and updates to the website are always
completed in a timely manner. Colleen’s work on the website has
greatly improved communication both within the NPSO membership as well
as provides materials and information for external audiences.”
- Mandy Tu, NPSO, Portland Chapter
“I found Colleen to be professional, reliable and pleasant to work
with. She is thorough and has artistic sensibilities which made for an
attractive presentation of my web page which I felt proud of. She is experienced
in web design including having worked with a large banking customer. Her
overall web and computer skills helped me to fit my web page into my overall
communication system. Colleen is also a good listener who was able to
quickly develop an understanding of my particular needs.”
- Kathleen McCann, Attorney at Law
"I would like to say that you did a remarkable
job of turning my vague design ideas into a brand image. I am so incredibly
happy with the finished product. The logo and website have already received
countless compliments."
- Brook Vinnedge, Owner, Vinnedge Consulting
“You really produced. Now I have a website that
makes me look professional and a business card that I am proud to hand
out. Thank you.”
- Greg Leonard, Greg Leonard Construction, Inc.
"Colleen was able to take my goals for functionality
and turn our website into a fully functional, professional website in
a short time. As a small company in the medical device industry, it is
always difficult to find a company to pay attention to our needs. Aquis
Consulting has turned a source of frustration on a daily basis into a
reference for our customers."
- Chris Foust, Prod. Dev./Marketing Manager, F&L Medical Products
Co.
I am so thrilled with my website. It's just terrific. I love it and am astounded by how much has been done. I love the background fabric color and how it gives the screen texture. Using the quilt elements as part of the navigation was brilliant and your design makes me look like I really know what I'm doing.
- Jackie Hicks, J Carter Designs
