We were referred to Answers Design Group by two trusted sources. We needed a professional web site that would describe what we do, serve our clients and reflect who we are in a tasteful way. Val really listened. She came to my office and spent time getting to know our business and me personally. She had a tactful way of redirecting when needed. She worked on our timetable, yet kept it moving without pressure. She had infinite amounts of patience! We are overwhelmed with the result and the cost was fair and well worth it! I highly recommend Answers Design Group.

J.S. Designs, LLC
I hired Valerie Waterman of Answers Design Group to design my website. Now, this sounds pretty straight forward, but it had to be done in ONE week. Val and her partners rose to the occasion and developed a website that would have taken most web designers several weeks. She did not blink when I shared with her the tight deadline; but rather, she said let's make a list and get started immediately. She spent long days and nights...and very early mornings to meet the deadline. She never complained, even when I missed a couple of my deadlines to provide her with materials. She made what could have been a stressful project completely enjoyable. In addition to her incredible creativity, mastery of web technology and solid business knowledge, she is patient, kind and always upbeat. Val's personality make her one in a million!

Val has wonderful insight into design and works towards meeting all of your goals

Straight Up Consulting
As a startup company, Straight Up Consulting hired Answers Design to develop a ground up website. As a novice in website design, I relied on a team that had patience and the ability to listen to our goals. Although they have a strong technical and design background, we were able to communicate on “my” level which reassured me that this was the right company to work with. A further testimonial to their professionalism, is to note that even after the website was completed, they continue to answer our questions in a timely fashion. As our market expands, I will use Answers Design to update our website and draw upon their strategic programming required to have a successful business.

Val Has An Uncanny Ability To Resonate With Her Clients
I am very happy with the website that Answers Design Group created for me. Valerie Waterman has an uncanny ability to resonate with her clients. This manifests most importantly in her capacity to understand, sense, feel, intuit, interpret and finally project what her client and their business "is all about". For Valerie it's the subtleties and the nuances that count. "What are the deeper levels of truth that define my clients and their business, and how can I help to express that it words and particularly in visuals?', is the question Ms. Waterman continually asks herself. That's when this lady gets very creative. Not only with her own ideas / pictures, but more importantly, to express the client's vision as a co-creation or co-visioning. In my case, Valerie was able to express with her graphics the vision, and the strong feelings of purpose and meaning that I have about my work. They are indeed fabulous and have been praised by many viewers. Valerie Waterman resonates with her clients in other ways as well. She always has an up-beat, positive and can-do energy. That means that she will do anything in her power to make the project as co-envisioned possible. In short, she is a lot of fun to work with.

The Magnusson Group
I have known Val through a networking group we both belonged to. Each meeting, she arrived with her big jewelry and bigger heart, always offering to help her associates. She was a shining star at every meeting. I knew a lot of “coaches” and considered a few. Val was a standout. I wanted to standout. It was a no-brainer. I asked for her help. An educational promotional presentation project I’ve been tackling for 2 years was about to come to fruition. I wasn’t afraid of public speaking, I was afraid of messing up, of not being perfect. I had a fear that I wouldn’t be able to make a coherent presentation. In addition, I was intimidated by the audience and the well-known and respected speaker I was “opening” for. I needed to learn how to present, not just read my notes and speak. Val quickly identified and tore down my personal insecurity barriers and imbued me with confidence. She analyzed my PowerPoint and unearthed the most exciting highlights. She taught me how to edit and emphasize specific parts of my stories without losing context. She not only taught me how to organize my notes and memorize them, but, to speak from my heart and brain. She totally sharpened my pencil! Three sessions later, I was ready! The result was a successful presentation, several follow-up engagements and the headliner hiring our firm! Hire Val!

I am so happy with my new website! Valerie took the time to adjust my colors, edit and create verbiage, and pick out new visuals for me. The only thing that held up the process was me - Valerie was incredibly responsive. It was a delight to not have to be creative since I didn't inherit that gene. The first client I directed to my website immediately complimented the content and warmth. Thanks V!
