“Our website was outdated, had been hacked, looked very uninspiring and was no longer attracting referrals. Our situation necessitated a swift overhaul; we needed an expert who could walk us through the necessary steps in a supportive manner.

We did our research and hit the jackpot, we found Anne, who is not just a true expert in her field, but also a fantastic, caring person to work with.

The entire process, from design to launch, was a seamless collaboration facilitated by stellar communication and much needed personal service and support.

Responding to challenges and explaining processes was made easy by Annes attentive, patient listening ear. Design-wise, Anne created an engaging, attractive, clean, easy-to-follow website with well-placed images to support and show off the great work Dan does. We all worked really well together to achieve the much-needed result. Our awesome new website has resulted in an immediate increase in referrals coming through, big thanks Anne.

If you care about your online presence and are “Ready to optimize your website for success, call Anne. She will work her magic for a professional refresh that will enhance performance and user satisfaction”. We really enjoyed working on the website with you Anne and we highly recommend you.”

Kindest Regards,

We definitely found the right designer for our needs when we contacted Anne. She met with us at our place when it was convenient for us. She was able to clearly explain to us what was involved in setting up a website and then went methodically through the process with us. We truly enjoyed Anne’s relaxed but efficient manner, her great communication skills, and her follow up support has been superb. We are so happy with our new website and highly recommend Anne to anyone who requires her skills.

“I have worked with Anne for many years as my main graphic designer and website designer. She has an amazing skill of using her design expertise to deliver effective layout, and to maximise strong marketing, messaging and communications. A skill that many designers will overlook. Anne truly understands that effective design can significantly impact on business results, especially with getting new client leads, and generating online sales. She has a great ‘can do’ attitude and I would happily recommend Anne to anyone.”

“I have worked with Anne in providing interpretive signage – most recently for a project on native wetland species on Mana Island. Anne’s collaborative style allowed me to work alongside her at the screen to come up with creative and workable solutions. From the ideas stage through to production, Anne has the skills to guide a project through the process, liaising with printers and signmakers to the end product. Her combination of creative flair and technical competence makes Anne our trusted ‘go to’ person for graphic design and displays.”

Anne works professionally and in a timely manner, because she understands how important our business websites are to our business. She navigated the addition of online purchasing to our website and will kept editing things until we were satisfied that it is what we wanted, thank you Anne!

“We have always admired your sense of design that employs size, colour and style to clarify the message and link the various elements. With the Camp Paekākāriki panels you’ve surpassed yourself! Your patience and good humour make it a pleasure to work with you, but you never compromise on the integrity of your vision and meticulous standards of accuracy. You take a view of the whole site, and the full impact will come when landscaping is complete.”

Anne is always ready to go the extra mile to do research or suggest things I am uncertain or unclear about and is marvellous at giving respectful but firm advice.
