Are you around other people right now? If so, take a look around. How many are looking at their smartphones? This morning, I stopped for coffee. Everyone around me was immersed in their phone. Standing in line, sitting at tables, even while ordering—phones. Any thoughts on what … Read On ›
Now that you’ve banished your info email address, let’s talk about another way you can be totally YOU in your business—authentic, transparent and uber-attractive.

“Thank you for your steadfast support and expertise.
“You took the original vision, a handful of images, and our colors and crafted something that was so much more. The quality of our site has given me the confidence I need to write new blog posts and drive traffic to it as a resource. Often, people I speak with that have navigated the pages offer unprompted praise. I am grateful for the initial work and the ongoing maintenance and revisions we make together.”

“Working with Jill has been a smooth, effective, happy process from start to finish.
“She is a great listener who took the time not just to understand what we wanted done, but also to get to know our ‘organizational personality.’ She executed what we wanted flawlessly. We tried not to have too many last minute, ‘urgent’ requests, but they did happen (sorry, Jill!)—and she always helped immediately! Knowing that she's watching over our site's backend has also been amazing so we don't have to worry about it.”

“Jill is an amazing resource for any creative professional.
“In almost 20 years working with creatives, she’s one of the few whose design, marketing and programming skills are equally strong. She asked all the right questions, listened carefully to what I was looking to achieve and exceeded my expectations with her first round of creative. Thanks to Jill my website has elevated my brand image. I will be recommending her to all my coaching clients!”

“Working with Jill is the best thing I’ve done for my design business.
“For years, I've wanted to re-do my website. Partnering with Jill got it done, and I am so happy with the results. Jill is a super talented designer and developer who pays attention to every little detail. Like smart quotes and hanging punctuation! I am thrilled with the WordPress platform, and that I can make the updates myself—It has been so much fun!”

“I loved working with Jill on the website for my freelance writing business.
“From the first meeting, we were in sync creatively on every aspect of the project. Everyone who’s seen the site comments that it’s very professional, yet it also captures my personality. Jill was great to work with—collaborative, consultative, capable. I’m thrilled with the site—it was a great use of my marketing dollars.”

“From the start, I warned Jill about my nit-pickiness, but she handled my perfectionistic tendencies with patience and good humor.
“Typically, when I design a website and hand it off to a developer for coding, I’m prepared to view a semi-rough version of what I’ve created and subsequently type up a long punch list of changes. That never happened with Jill: she understood my vision and nailed it on the first try.”

“I adore you, Jill Anderson!
“You are a genius—cool, patient and phenomenally talented. Everybody raves about you, and I’ve gotten to witness your smarts through our work together—but seeing your process first-hand was an honor. It’s not just about the amazing results (it’s pretty damn amazing!)—but all the care, big ideas, concepts and thoughtful details you added to make this extra-special.”

“Jill is by far the best designer I have ever worked with in my life.
“Not only is she incredibly skilled, but she’s incredible to work with on every project. There’s no one else out there like her… and she will always have a special place in my heart for all that she has done for me, Solamar and the team. We love her… and we hope to work with her forever.”

“Hiring Jill to help me with my website was such a smart decision!
“I have worked with many programmers over the years and none of them have the eye for design or the attention to detail Jill possesses. She is the complete package—she understands the front end and back end of the web. Best of all, she was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish.”
Laura Wertkinintendcreative.com
“I hired Jill to redesign my website, and she did an excellent job of translating our conversation to exactly what I had envisioned (or better).
“She’s very personable, has great design skills, and knows her way around code, too. It’s rare to find all three of those traits in one person, and it makes her absolutely delightful to work with.”
