"I have had the great pleasure recently of working with Christopher Läspä of 999 Art Direction.

I had been thinking of setting up a website for my company for quite some time, but being totally out of my element, I hesitated to go ahead, especially as I was also in need of a new "brand". When I got to know Christopher and his approach to web-design better through BNI, what appealed to me was the fact that he had an advertising background, rather than a computer background. This was what I was looking for! From our discussions and my answers to a detailed questionnaire, he was able to visualize the type of website that would suit the image I was hoping to project. And, since he gave me a very reasonable quote to create that image, I decided to go ahead.

He started by creating a mock-up of the concept, complete with a new logo, for us to discuss. This required very little fine-tuning, as he seemed to get "me" immediately. As the creation of the site unfolded, Christopher kept me in the loop completely. He created a prototype site which I was able to access on-line so I could follow his progress. He explained his reasoning thoroughly, accepted my criticisms graciously, and encouraged me to contribute to the effort. His enthusiasm for the project throughout was unflagging. Even when 99% of the work was completed, he gleaned some nuggets of inspiration from our casual conversation and was keen to add them to the site to "kick things up a notch".

Christopher is also very web-savvy, Not only was he concerned with the creation of my image, he was also concerned with how he would ensure that it would be easily accessible on-line. He paid particular attention to the type of language and key phrases that would make the site come up on a web search. And he was careful to keep the site simple enough so that even dated computers with dial-up Internet access could view it easily.

Christopher, you made me look good! And you made me feel good about myself and the work I do. Thanks for the new JUST the THING."

"Let me take this opportunity to let you know how very pleased I was with the work you have done for 'SoToSpeak'.

The concept and design of my mail out brochure and business card was most impressive. I think you had called it "inspirational", and I totally agree that it was just that -- comments from recipients were to bear that out as well.

I did also appreciate your attentiveness -- helping me with MailMerge -- and of course the research done for the best possible price and quality for printing. The finished product indicates your very strong ability to fully understand and compete in an ever changing competitive marketplace.

Well done, Chris, thanks again and I wish you continued success."
