"After Allison completed a site for an association I belong to, MRSA (Midwest Redesign and Staging Association), I decided it was time to get serious about my own website. It was amateur, at best, and did not reflect what I do for a living (design), so I turned to Allison for help. Allison explained the process, as well as a timeline for completion. The first step in the process was to create a "look" for the site. After working with me to "see" my vision, she created some designs to choose from. For me, this was very important since what I do is visual, and I wanted my site to reflect who I am, and what I do. Allison was able to give me choices, so I felt very involved in the process. Allison is very organized and guided me through the process, every step of the way. She put timelines in place to make sure that the process moved forward, and in less than 2 months, I had a beautiful, working site.

Since Allison works with a variety of businesses, she is able to make suggestions to improve the look, feel and function of a site. I would recommend Create to Complete for any website design and implementation."

Dear Allison,
I am writing to thank you for helping me set up my website. Not having much knowledge about setting up websites, I appreciated your expertise and creativity. You made the entire process very seamless and pleasant by listening to what I wanted my website to look like and more importantly, how I wanted it to reflect my business. I love the format and the color scheme of the website. I especially appreciate the fact that you worked with my web host to get things transferred over to the new webhost when I changed my domain name. I would not have known what to do or how to do it and it was a source of great worry and frustration for me. Thanks for taking that off my hands.

I also appreciated you coming to my office and showing me the basics of WordPress so I can manage the content of my website. Since then, I’ve looked at some of the tutorials and have been able to build on that knowledge. Now, not only does my website look professional and great, but I am able to be creative with the content and even have added a blog and a news section to it.

Again, thank you for your help with this. I love the website and in fact, I’ve received a lot of compliments on it!

Thanks again!

"Recently I had the pleasure of working with Allison G. Kramer at Create to Complete to produce a product brochure. She proposed two beautiful designs so it was a very difficult choice to make. Both would have worked perfectly!

Throughout the design process, I looked for professional guidance from Allison and she did not disappoint. Her attention to detail and understanding my needs became a collaboration to an amazing brochure! The messages that I want to convey through this brochure come across unequivocally and I could not be happier! I will not hesitate to use Allison again and I recommend her to anyone with design experience or not."
