What clients say about working with Bree

Bree designed my new sunnywindow.com e-commerce web site that launched in late October 2014. The results so far have been fantastic - in look and feel of the site, in ease of use for me and my customers, and most importantly, in increased sales! Working with her on this large, complicated project was a joy from start to finish. She’s a great listener who took the time to really understand my business, customers and market. She knows a ton about all things web site, had lots of good ideas and was endlessly patient with teaching me what I needed to know to manage the site, photograph products, write blog posts, and so much more. She was right there with me, tweaking the site right up through launch and throughout its first big test - the holiday shopping season - which it passed with flying colors. Bree’s a great combination of deep knowledge, perfectionist tendencies, and creative skills. I can’t recommend her work highly enough.

I have collaborated with Bree for more than 10 years. As a designer, I depend on her knowledge to translate my concepts and make ideas a functional reality. She stays current on all the trends and advancements so that the visual solutions are backed up by secure and easy to manage functionality.

But Bree offers so much more than technical skill. On many projects we’ve collaborated on she has made recommendations on how to organize content in a way that brings clarity to the presentation. She offers honest opinions on my design concepts that I trust. In the end, the results are websites that not only look good, they work and provide maximum results for our clients.

Bree is extremely responsible and is readily available to answer questions or make revisions. She has a very positive and friendly personality that makes working together a pleasant experience. I highly recommend her for any web-based projects.

Bree did a great job putting together our site.  She translated our designer’s mock-ups into pages that worked.  She made suggestions and offered options that helped us make good choices.  She helped us through the whole process of getting our redesigned site up—recommending a hosting service and an email marketing service, getting our email set up, transferring the domain.  She spent time on the phone going over edits, made changes, and added things that gave the site a professional touch.  Once the site was completed, she helped me learn how to do some of the basic maintenance.  And she did it all within her original estimate.  We look forward to continuing to work with her.

I worked with Bree to design and to maintain my website.  I’ve found Bree extremely easy to work with; she is full of great ideas but willing to listen to her client, she is fast, efficient, and easygoing.  She had my website up and running in a very reasonable time frame, and has always made my requested changes promptly.  She is great to work with (even though I swear she changed her hair color and that’s why I didn’t recognize her at my opening, or maybe i just had too much wine….)

While teaching in the Visual and Environmental Studies Department at Harvard University a young artist and teaching assistant in the department referred me to eBree Design. After viewing the remarkable quality and degree of professionalism visible on his site I arranged to meet and talk with Bree.

On meeting Bree for the first time I was immediately impressed by her articulate presentation of her skills as a designer which included information regarding the time required to build a site, the costs involved and the ongoing relationship that would be necessary to keep the material updated. She used her computer to give me a sense of color and overall compositional and structural possibilities, and enquired with insight and curiosity into the nature and identity of my own work as an artist. I was impressed by the importance that Bree attached to having a real sense of the content and meaning of my own work and contracted with her to design my site at www.paulstopforth.com

The confidence that Bree brought to the presentation of herself certainly led me to trust her as a person who would focus her skills on providing the quality of work that I had asked for, that she would be available to deal with any additional information that I might want to be brought to the site over an extended period and that she would do so in a brief time frame after being asked to do so. All of these expectations have been met.

Over the past 4 years dealing with eBree Design on an ongoing basis has been a real pleasure and my site has led to an increased number of people interested in the viewing and purchase of my work.

Thank you Bree for your vision, insight and sheer professionalism!
Paul Stopforth, Painter and Sculptor

Hire this woman.

I can’t speak highly enough of Bree, who advised our scientific nonprofit with candor based on experience and an inherent desire for a polished website that suits us and our needs, and who designed with unwavering intent and dedication.

She took a complicated concept - three separate sites tied together under a parent - and accomplished what others could not:  an attractive, engaging, scalable site tying together different domains with different end-user and positioning goals. 

She listens for solutions, and delivers top value.  I’d pit her with confidence against agencies with engineers at their disposal - they don’t compare to the agility of Bree, who is smart, talented, goal-directed, and at the top of her game.

We asked Bree to redesign my wife Kathryn Lasky’s author website to make it more exciting and adaptable for phone and tablet users. She consulted with us, showed us several possible templates, and eventually designed a very lively website which shows off the books, and also makes it simple to post new blogs, link to Facebook, Twitter, etc. She made the structure easy for us to maintain and adapt as new books come out. Kathy’s editors and agents have heaped praise on the new site, and we think it is doing a much better job than our old site. We highly recommend Bree’s design abilities.

Bree has been working with me on our agency’s website since we did a complete redesign in 2008. She is great. She is incredibly responsive - I send her an e-mail and she always gets right back to me. She is innovative - always willing to add new things to our website. She is patient with me going in and entering content directly into the CMS, sometimes not in the right way. She is great to work with - never gets stressed out and always fun to work with.

Bree developed Zapotec’s website in earlier this year, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. She explained the options, listened to our ideas, created some great sample mock-ups, and executed the final design very well. It’s obvious that she’s extremely knowledgeable about both Expression Engine and web design in general, and she’s a real pleasure to work with!

I hired Bree in November 2014 to rebuild my company website - www.peppercorntravel.com. Bree did a phenomenal job - she worked within the timeframe and budget window promised, and, most importantly, built a sleek and professional-looking website that truly enhances my company’s image.

Bree also provided technical advice and assistance beyond the scope of the website, responded quickly to any questions I had once the site was up and running.

I had an excellent experience with Bree, and I wouldn’t hesitate to return to her in the future.

I am so happy I hired Bree to design my personal website!  My vision for it was complex and demanding, and Bree met all of my requirements and many more I didn’t know I had.  Although I am computer-literate, I am not in any way technically very competent, and I must say I was extremely nervous about this whole undertaking.  I need not have worried; Bree’s good humor, kindness, expertise and really great support not only got me through the process in one piece but resulted in a beautiful, agile, multi-functioning, impressive website for which I am getting many compliments, and many return visits..  I am delighted to give Bree all credit for its success.
