Feeling Satisfied.
And here are a few nice things people have had to say.
We have been working with Andrew and creative people at Believe Labs for over a year. They have helped us with a variety of projects and have always been extremely professional and a pleasure to work with. Their work is superb and we look forward to continuing to use them for future projects.
Mark Uhalley, SBA CompleteAndrew Martin can do design and development better than most but his most valuable traits are his responsiveness, clarity and quality of work.
George Morris, ImulusAndrew, among other things is a Web Development Wunderkind. Not sure how, but he manages to keep a level head when stuck in the middle between very exacting designers and very demanding clients like us.
Please check out thebitterbar.com or thewestendtavern.com for some amazing examples of his work.
We are psyched to have worked with him and look forward to keeping the relationship going as our needs evolve.
John Bachman, Big Red FWe’ve had a blast working with Andrew. We’ve used his services on several projects and will hire him again without question. Andrew is very bright and personable and simply “gets” the tech required to do website theming. I’ve had him train other team members because of his level of skill and ability to communicate clearly.
Steve LeClair, Active Interest MediaI’ve been in this business a long time and have had the pleasure of working with lots of talented designers & programmers.
It wasn’t until we (LSE) were introduced to Believe Labs that we found a one stop-shop for everything design & programming. I can’t imagine working with anyone other than these guys–they are the best, and they are now stuck with us, forever!
Leigh Sullivan, Leigh Sullivan EnterprisesI have with worked with Andrew on various web development projects over the past couple years. He is easily one of the most talented web developers I have ever met. If there is a problem he has never encountered, he’ll find a solution. If the deadline is tight, he’ll make it work. Any future web development work I need will hopefully have Andrew at the helm.
Adam Swietek, Kroeschell, Inc.I highly recommend Andrew Martin and everyone at Believe Labs for website development. We were in need of a new refreshing look to our website and Andrew and his colleagues delivered right on the money. We gave him a very basic model of what we were interested and he was able to craft a website that is beyond our expectations – Thank you Andrew!
Stuart Nielson, Colorado Analytical LabI have used Andrew Martin for sometime with my website needs. I have recently had him make me a new website with a new logo. The site is very user friendly, and many of my clients have commented on how attractive the site is and how easy it is to use. One thing that makes it easy for me, is that I can make changes on my site by myself—I am not a savvy computer person, so this is a big plus for me. I would highly recommend using Andrew’s services–I am very happy!
Joann Martin, Avante CosmeticAndrew is a highly skilled front end developer and very knowledgeable about the latest in CSS and HTML best practices. He has been instrumental in assisting and training our team to adopt new, much improved front end technologies.
Juli Duffer, Active Interest MediaAndrew is an exceptional developer with fabulous technical problem solving skills; the most complex concepts become simple solutions in his hands. He has a great knack for hearing and communicating the heart of a company/client, and it’s a painless process when he is involved. An innate ability to ‘become’ part of the team, while efficiently and joyfully driving a project toward completion, make Andrew an absolute delight to work with.
Amy McKelvey, RejuvilaAndrew is a highly-skilled web engineer and is dedicated to producing a top-class user experience. In every project I have had the benefit to work with him, he consistently exceeds clients expectations and always brings in fresh, useful ideas. Besides his technical skill and business acumen, he remains a good friend and a reliable associate. I highly recommend Andrew Martin.
Bill Catlin, York Street Labs, LLCAndrew is a talented developer with a strong technical background and the ability to quickly identify the right solution to a tough challenge. His willingness to dive into new areas and learn quickly made it enjoyable to work together.
