I’m a composer and I needed an e-commerce site for music publishing. After talking to several web designers I nearly gave up on the idea because I left every conversation feeling overwhelmed and frustrated. I discovered that there are lots of people who can write code, design web pages, etc., but those same people don’t necessarily have the bedside manner to work effectively with clients who don’t speak their language, and very often, they can’t see the forest for the trees. Yes, those experiences made me cynical which is why I was so excited when I stumbled across AshWeb Studio through a web search.After talking to Derek for only a few minutes I could feel myself relaxing and thinking this guy gets it. He asked me lots of questions and proposed different ways to tackle every challenge I proposed. He had a clear and methodical approach for working through the various phases of the project, during which he was incredibly patient with me (I like to consider every possibility under the sun which can drive people nuts). On top of all that, AshWeb’s fees are reasonable, they meet their deadlines, and they are VERY responsive when any issue arises (a MUST in my book). I’ve been a happy client for a few years now and intend to remain so as long as they keep providing the same, high level of service that I have grown to appreciate and know them for.If you are looking for a web designer, you can’t go wrong with AshWeb Studio… they are the real deal! Based on my experience with them, I give a 5 star rating without hesitation.
