    What do they say?

  • “Let me tell you a story about Ben to show you why I recommend him to everyone: Ben offered (with another guy) to redesign [my website] okdork.com free of charge. They did it in a reasonable amount of time. It was okay. A few weeks later Ben said "Noah, I am not satisfied with the work I've done. I am going to completely redo your site." I was impressed because a) I wasn't thrilled with their work but it was decent b) he took the initiative c) he had a great attitude about it. A few weeks later he was done and I am now asked a few times a month if it is okay to copy the okdork.com layout. Ben did a great job and I love working with him. If you get the chance, you will be lucky as well.”

  • “Ben is simply terrific. From his great can-do attitude and personality all the way through to the better-than-promised final designs, I enjoyed the entire process. With an eye for design, but still a sharp head for the "business realities" and the technical challenges, Ben both surprised and delighted me with his work. Definitely recommended.”

  • “Ben put together a first class design at ProBlogger.net. Perhaps the best thing I can say about it is that I get weekly emails from readers saying how much they like it and many asking where they can download the template. He's innovative, creative and helped take my blog to the next level.”
