If you’re looking for a fully functional Web 2.0 site with all the bells ‘n whistles (i.e. CMS, email newsletter sign-up and archives, interactive blogging tools and kick-ass design), look not further than Moxie Design Studios!

I approached Joelle Reeder about overhauling FashionJunkie back in October 2006 after interviewing dozens of developers and immediately knew that Moxie Design Studios was the perfect match. Joelle understood my vision for FashionJunkie from day one - a bold, fun and fashionable site for “serial shoppers.” Instead of shrugging me off like other developers I’ve worked with in the past, Joelle held my hand every step of the way. In fact, she still makes herself available should something go awry (don’t worry, it’ been over a year since the re-launch and nothing major has happened yet!).

Thanks to Joelle’s sharp eye and unparalleled industry knowledge (trust me, the Moxie Girls are connected!), FashionJunkie.com has become a sought after fashion and beauty destination. When I’m ready to take FashionJunkie to the next level, you’d better believe I’ll be calling the Moxie Girls! That is… if they’re available.

Thanks again Joelle (and Kathy!) for turning my dream into a reality.

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.

It’s amazing what a difference it makes hiring a couple of American chicks who know what they’re doing. My last website was nothing but aggro but this time it has been smooth sailing. So, if you’re in the market for a blog with attitude, I hope you’ll look up the Moxie Girls.

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.
