“Knowing 3design3 from her reputation, I knew I could count on her to have integrity, style, and technical knowledge. I also knew her to be honest and straightforward. These are all characteristics of someone who I knew I would feel comfortable working with, especially someone who I would have to be working with through the Internet — through emails, IM, and the web.
From what she said about her web design service, I thought she would also be reasonable. This was essential because I would be subcontracting her services.
I have been a programming contractor and subcontractor many times in the course of my career. I’ve witnessed the advantages and pitfalls of these relationships. Working with 3design3 has highlighted all the advantages of contracting creative work out to someone.
First, let me say her rates were very reasonable. They fit right into my very tight budget. But it was what I got for those fees that made working with her worthwhile. She and her work showed her talent, skills, and experience. She responded to the requirements I had quickly and completely — including the changes. She was intuitive and approachable about everything we did, creative in responding to customer needs and requests, and, perhaps most importantly, all things being equal, she was easily reached.
As anyone who has worked with other people at a distance knows, the worst thing that can happen is for the line to go dead, so to speak. I’ve seen that happen many times, sometimes for weeks and even months. Usually, 3design3 responded in minutes, at the most overnight.
Everything about working with 3design3 has been on the positive side (I’m really not exaggerating) and has lead to a truly wonderful and attractive website which will draw customers to my client’s business.” –Fred B.
