Not that you don't kick ass at design. But these days, that's assumed. It's the other stuff that will get you the business. Well, we know this is what made me {heart} you the most, right?

It's another entirely when you know the person has the chops to walk the talk. What better place to put my ringing endorsement of you than right here. Right here next to a list of reason that I give people regarding why they should do business with you. Your ability as a designer and as a professional were evident each step along the way as we brought two sites to life - thanks!

My days of trying to meet some "corporate template" are over. That's why I'm self-employed. I figure I might as well put who I really am out there, and the right people will be attracted to that. The wrong people - well, we all know what direction those designer-client relationships head in in a hurry, anyhow!
