Forge22 Website and Graphic Design Client Testimonials

Testimonials

I had a project on a tight timeline. After attempting to work with a few other designers who were long on promises and short on deliverables, I found Forge22. Sam was able to hit the ground running. He was able to use my ideas and work within the constraints of a pre-existing Volusion e-commerce platform. Sam is skilled in both the graphics side and the coding side, which is critcal. The end result was a website that looks better than my competition, completed quickly.

Sam is one of my favorite people to work with. He delivers on time, on budget and pays attention to the details. I think his biggest assets are his attitude and his patience. I'm most impressed with how flexible he is. Some of our projects just have to be "done." I can hand them over without worry. He comes back with a finished product (usually faster than I would imagine is possible.) On larger, more iterative projects, he's willing to work with our team taking care of whatever the next step is, little touch-ups or a huge overhaul, I can give it to Sam and he just takes care of it.

Sam was absolutely great to work with. Being an art director/designer I had already designed the look of my site and how I wanted it to work. What I needed was someone to code the site for me. I simply handed over a rather large layered Photoshop file to Sam and he took care of the rest. It came out exactly as I had wanted. Sam also helped me with switching over from one web host to another as well as launching my site for me when it was ready to go live. I would definitely recommend Sam to anyone looking to have someone build a site for them.

In every respect, Sam is a superb web designer. For starters, he has an excellent eye, he tailors sites to his clients' specifications, and his range is extraordinary. He is careful to find out what a client wants, he doesn't require much direction – he anticipated my needs and put together a tasteful and well-designed site, without my having to spell out design decisions for him. He was readily willing to make changes where I wanted them, though he wasn't afraid to respectfully point out times where what I wanted might have complicated visitors' browsing. I trusted him and as a result my site is lovely, complete, and easy to use. He has been promptly responsive since when I've needed to make updates.

Sam is fast. He did my site as a rush job, when I was invited to give a speech at a university and needed a site fast. In just three days he designed and built www.jennyblair.com, which was perfect for what I needed. I was gobsmacked by how fast he took care of it.

He secured my new domain name because I didn't want to be bothered figuring out how to do it. He took care of the entire auction process, kept me posted on his progress, got me the site for a very reasonable price, all without my needing to worry about it at all.

Sam is very responsive and patient for even the most detailed orientated individuals. He takes great pride in his work product and is very attentive to his customers. Undoubtedly, Sam goes the extra distance to get you what you are looking for. I have and will continue to recommend Sam to anyone who is looking for that special personal touch in their web design.

Sam Perkins Harbin has been working with me for at least 5 years and he has developed and designed and redesigned my site many times to the point where it's very functional and user friendly for my needs and my Clients' needs. I find him to be very innovative, efficient, affordable and pleasant to work with. I've had other designers scrutinize my site and they say that it was put together extremely well. A+

Chicago Helicopter is extremely pleased with Forge22's website design. Sam was easy to work with and very accommodating to all of our needs. We were on a tight schedule and needed the website done in a timely fashion. Sam was able to complete a professional and aesthetically pleasing site at a reasonable cost. We have had success with the site and will continue to work with Sam in the future.

Looking up on Google for some services, I called a company from the first page and asked them who takes care of their web site. That is why we hired Forge 22. It is better once to see than ten times to hear. Use the keywords "Chicago wedding florist" or "Chicago wedding flowers" and you will see Mila Design on the second and third pages of Google so far! We appeared there the very first month after Sam designed our web site and it is still in progress.

Sam made it easy for me to do business with him, which is so key as a small business owner. We don't like the hassles of formalities. I had designed a website in flash that was expensive to update and also hard to market via the web. Within two weeks, Sam had rebuilt it at 1/3 of the cost of other companies with also half the time I was quoted by his competition. I found him very accommodating to my particular placement of items and he copied the flash site as best as possible with HTML. I would definitely do business with him in the future! He is patient and fun to work with as well!
