From Seed to Success.
“I’ve spent the last couple weeks working with website designer, brand expert, and marketer Kelly at Blum Creative to revamp my website. She is AMAZING! She spent time getting to know me, my business, my ideal clients, and my business goals.
She asked insightful and open-ended questions to learn about my business and brand. The competing websites she reviewed with me showed she’d quickly grasped my humor and personality. She worked with photographer Studio McBride at my home to compose photos that further helped convey my brand.
Kelly tailored her website host recommendation to my skillset and business needs. She reviewed early drafts with me and gracefully took critical feedback to revise the site. She used the content from my previous site to write concise web copy that captured my vision in a compelling way.
Throughout the process I found Kelly enthusiastic about my business goals, responsive to my questions and concerns, and conscientious in her work. She is clearly knowledgeable about how to use a website to market a brand and business, and I appreciated the time I spent working with her. I’m not afraid to show my site to people now!”
“I would highly recommend Kelly. She is very passionate about her work and really takes the time to listen to what’s most important to you, before beginning any project. She also doesn’t start a project without getting to know your company, your goals for the project and how she can make it better. We researched different groups to help us re-design our website, and chose Kelly based on her experience as well as her tangible passion for helping us reach our goals. She listened to our requests and took the time to really get to know our product. It is our opinion that Kelly is the best in the business.”
“Kelly worked with me to remake my website and online presence ~ and I couldn’t be more delighted with the result. She took my technical incompetence in stride, added her insight, creativity and artistic sense, and made the process entirely easy for me. Additionally she’s been available to me as I worked thru the learning curve on several new features she incorporated for me. Feedback from my clients has been great. Total satisfaction here.”
“Kelly worked patiently with us to deliver the first professional design of web page, logo and other collateral. She refined our vague requirements, provided a dramatic upgrade and diligently worked to resolve any issues which arose during the development and launch of the new site.”
“I’m so happy with the website overhaul Kelly did for me this summer. My business has taken off since the new website went live. Redesigning it had been on my radar for a while, but I just kept telling myself I’d get to it someday. A unique set of circumstances got me talking to Kelly about it way before I was ‘ready’. (Who’s really ever ‘ready’ to add a project like this to their to-do list?) To my great surprise, Kelly made the whole process so much easier than I ever imagined possible. She’s got this really incredible ninja listening tactic that you don’t ever know is going on inside of her when she’s assessing your needs. She heard so much more than I ever said. She just picks stuff up, which ultimately comes through in her design. She’s very intuitive, creative, extremely generous and an incredibly hard worker. She’s not only bringing the creativity, but she understands a lot about branding, marketing, SEO and the important things that will help the site get seen in the busy online marketplace. Kelly is a delight to work with. I highly recommend her services even before you think you’re ‘ready’ for them.”
“We contracted with Kelly to help us provide a client with their first website. She came to us with high recommendations from a colleague of ours and we were NOT disappointed. Kelly and her team exceeded our expectations and we will definitely work with her again. I would highly recommend Kelly!”
“Kelly, thanks for your vision and inspiration in taking our brand to a new level. The web site is awesome, but you went above and beyond with your marketing and branding expertise and encouraged us to take our product way further than we could have imagined without you. Our relationship with you went beyond web development.... you partnered with us as if you had an interest in our company, and as far as I’m concerned, you do.”
“As a serial entrepreneur I have had the opportunity to work with a lot of different marketing professionals. What sets Kelly apart from all of the others? First, she has owned a couple of different businesses of her own which gives her a much broader perspective than someone that has only worked in the marketing industry. She truly understands the impact that naming and branding have on a business. Secondly, she is the most conscientious person that I have ever worked with. She goes above and beyond to ensure the work she does is not just really good but great. Kelly will keep tweaking until the work is perfect. Finally, she just has a passion and talent for naming. Whenever we had a new product for her to name you could feel the excitement in her voice. The names she developed for our products are an invaluable part of our brand. They are the key difference between us and our competitors.”
“Kelly and her team have done an excellent job in understanding our needs as a small business and designed a fabulous strategy to provide exposure on the web and social media sites such as LinkedIn and Facebook. Kelly is very creative and a person one would want to be working with all the time.”
“Kelly is a smart business woman with a brilliant sense of design. These two qualities are so important when creating a website...and sometimes hard to find. Kelly is very easy to work with. She is responsive, flexible, honest, straightforward, and supportive. My overall experience with Kelly and the website redesign exceeded my expectations and I would highly recommend her!”
“Kelly, it was a pleasure having you work on the website. It turned out to be better than I’d hoped. Thanks for the great design and working with my timeline.”
“I had a great experience with Kelly... She was very patient with our requests for change and went way beyond the call of duty in making sure we were satisfied with the outcome. Our site has been launched for about three months, and we have received a lot of very positive comments. We know from the metrics that she set up for us, that visits to our site have increased significantly. In short, we are very satisfied with her service and are in the processing of using her service again to assist with some sales and marketing literature.”
“In the Top Attributes section of the recommendation form on LinkedIn you’re only allowed to select three attributes from the list. If not I would have chosen them all including ‘expert’, ‘on time’, ‘high integrity’ and ‘creative’. We couldn’t be happier with everything Kelly has done for us!”
“It was a pleasure to have worked with Kelly and her team. They really followed through on our wants and needs during the website project. Kelly was very personable, nice, and easy to work with. She cared about our end result satisfaction, and that made all the difference.”
