If I had to pick
a set of words to describe
our new design? Oy.

They would barely fit
in this abbreviated
yet deft format.

Words like: “HOLY CRAP.”
And “HOLY TOASTING FLAPJACKS.”
And my own favorite?

Dumbfounded silence.
It’s so awesomely gorgeous,
It makes us shut up.

Wait, you need serious testimonial? We Smart Bitches are not known for keeping our traps shut, but Joelle’s design skillz, her database beating-down skillz, and her professional yet friendly manner made redesigning our site a truly damntastically awesome experience. We count ourselves very fortunate to be a Moxie [Design Studios] client, and recommend them to anyone who asks, ‘Hey, what happened to your site? It looks GREAT!’

After four years of blogging, I decided it was time to get serious about promoting my writing — which meant I needed a professional, put-together look.  I wasn’t entirely sure what I wanted for my new website, but I knew who I wanted to design it — Joelle Reeder.  I have admired the quality work of Moxie Design Studios for several years and I knew if anyone could take my vague ideas and give me the look I wanted for my site, it would be Joelle.  She worked with me to create exactly what I wanted in a website — something fun, friendly and feminine — and pink!  It was a pleasure working with Joelle and I will never go anywhere else for my web design needs.

Joelle was able to take my ideas about a site for investing for women and transform them into something cool, creative and effective. I’m amazed at her playful inventiveness and her ability to translate ideas into visual form. She’s a great designer! I can’t wait until the site goes live. I have to create some great content to live up to the design.

Kathy did first-class work on my web site and blog, twice!  She seemed to “get” how to create images and layouts that are professional, but warm and inviting looking.  She was unfailingly proactive and responsive, and worked extremely well with feedback.  She designed the first website that went with our book, MarketBusters, and then managed to migrate the material and keep it updated when I decided to go with a personal site of my own.  When I hear of the nightmares colleagues have had with their web sites, I’m so grateful to be working with Kathy. We’re about to complete another book, and you can bet I’ll be working with her on that.
