Central Illinois Chapter - Association of Fundraising Professionals, Peoria, IL
"When our local chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) decided to add a local website, we looked at several different web design places. We needed something that was professional looking, yet easy to use and navigate and a site that wouldn’t cause a big drain on our chapter finances.

What stood out for me in choosing Lisa Murphy was not only her previous work, but the professional and friendly attitude with which she tackled our site design. She walks you through the steps, takes time to answer questions and the relationship doesn’t end with your site going live. When I called a few previous clients, they all said the same thing- “Lisa is great and is so easy to work with!”

I now know that first-hand and I know anytime that we have a question or want to make changes or improvements that Lisa will be there to help us! We have enjoyed getting our first chapter website launched and look forward to working with Lisa for many years to come!

You may find bigger, but in my opinion, you won’t find better! Lisa not only takes a professional approach, but makes it fun, too! We have a great looking site that our membership can enjoy thanks to her hard work. Great job Lisa!"

Gemstone Confections, Peoria, IL
"What an absolute delight it is to work with Lisa! Lisa makes you feel like you are her most important client. I needed someone to take over the technical side of my web site and before we had even come to a business agreement Lisa was fixing and correcting my site. She heard my anguish and responded without hesitation. I have been so impressed with her prompt replies, her excellent suggestions and technical knowledge. Working with Lisa is like gaining a business partner who cares about the success of your business as much as you do."

Dan Stephens, DDS General Dentistry, Havana, IL
"Initially it was Lisa's design style that impressed me. Her websites never look like all the other sites out there. And her portfolio exhibits the clean lines, clarity and interest that I hoped would be generated in our site. She didn't let me down. As I began to work with her, it was her concern that we take our steps together that impressed me the most. Lisa lacks the self-righteous, self-serving attitudes that come with many designers. She has a genuine desire to please her clients, but will assert herself if it's in your best interest. I took note of her easy and informative communication style and think I have learned much about how to work with a client! Thank you Lisa for being easy to work with and for providing us with an outstanding site, one that reflects the character of our office. I'd recommend you to anyone."

Tremont, Illinois - Community Website
"When we began our search for a web-site developer, we were looking for someone who could create a community web-site with a calendar, local weather, local news, and a plethora of information about Tremont. Lisa stood out as someone who was genuinely interested in our goals, and would give the attention we felt was needed. Best of all, her price fit into our budget.

As we moved into the development process, we quickly realized that Lisa was enhancing our ideas and creating a web-site that far exceeded our original expectations. Through the entire process, Lisa was quick to show results to every request from our team.

Now, since launching the web-site, the results have also exceeded our expectations. We receive daily compliments, and the community has begun using the site on a regular basis. Without hesitation, I would recommend Lisa Murphy for any web-site project, large or small."

First United Presbyterian Church, Pekin, IL
We needed help! Our website was about four years old and in need of a redesign, our volunteer webmaster had moved out of town, not all of our pages would show up on the internet and our web host had become essentially nonresponsive to our plight. We needed a website redesign and a new host and we needed it quickly.

While searching the internet for a web designer in the Peoria area, we found Lisa's company and were impressed with her client portfolio and some of her clients were familiar to us. Working with us by phone and e-mail, Lisa had the entire site redesigned and up on the internet with a new web host in about a week.

We now have a website that looks professional, is well organized and user friendly. Lisa was great to work with, always professional, always available and always patient with those of us who are not webmasters. We highly recommend her services for your web design needs."

"We are thrilled with the web site that Lisa has designed for us. Our customers have found our web site easy to navigate and very informative. Lisa was very professional, friendly, and easy to work with. She also repaired and upgraded a computer that we thought we would have to replace.

Natural Concepts Salon & Day Spa, Peoria, IL
"I highly recommend Lisa to anyone with web design or computer needs. My business has gone up 30% since she made our website and we loved our banner on the web pages so much, we had her create our new brochures and business cards to match. She supports us anytime with our advertising decisions (what online sites are worth advertising on), mail fraud, etc. and always takes the time to come help us with our computers. Several of us rely on her for our home computers, too."

Christ Orchard, Elmwood, IL
"Lisa was a lifesaver for us. She was so easy to work with and she puts 100+% effort into her work. She was so patient, and in a couple weeks we had the perfect website for us. She made the job of getting a website up and going so easy. She's a professional with that "personal touch".

"We are thrilled with our new website and have already recommended Lisa Murphy to other business owners. She is professional and personable.

We only wish we'd found her sooner!"

Clark Properties, East Peoria, IL
April 13, 2007
To Whom It May Concern:
Clark Properties was forced with the dilemma of how to best to reach potential
renters for our vacancies. Newspaper advertising is expensive and pretty one-dimensional
and couldn’t give all the information we found pertinent.

In September of 2006, we contacted Web Design by Lisa Murphy. After our
initial consultation, we decided Ms. Murphy to be our best choice. It has proven to be a
wise choice. Her attention to detail, pulse on attractiveness to customers, and creativity
produced a website we are very proud of. We are receiving on the average of 200 hits per
week and our occupancies are growing everyday. At this point we couldn’t begin to
measure our return of investment, but we’re sure the numbers would be through the roof.

Because of this success, we are now on our second project with Lisa, to develop a
website for one of our sister companies. We are sure that whomever extends an offer to
Lisa for her services will reap the benefits many times over.
Respectfully

Dreams for Seniors Charity, Pekin, IL
"I highly recommend Lisa to anyone needing web design. She created a website for our non-profit organization, Dreams for Seniors Charity. Her attention to detail impressed me so much. The website explains all about Dreams for Seniors. I didn't really know what I wanted, but once I was in Lisa's hands, she developed an informative and attractive website for us. I can hardly wait to see what will be generated from this site. Lisa doesn't disappear after the creating is done, she's right there to answer questions and teach me how to make this website a tool I can use to build our charity. And not being a computer wiz myself, this facet of her service, is worth so much to me. I'm so thankful we have her on our team. I look forward to a bright and productive future with Lisa."

Four Kingdoms Renaissance Festival, Rock Island, IL
July 14, 2007 - Excellent Designer with Great People Skills

Lisa created our website with no prior knowledge of what a Renaissance Festival is. She talked to us on the phone for several hours to understand exactly what we needed in a site. She produced exactly what we asked for, a professional look, easy to navigate, with all the information we needed and provided.

We love everything she did. Our favorite is the Photo Page. She created a slide show giving people the choice to look at the photos individually or as a slide show. Then added 3 slide shows. Our favorite is the Free Lancers (the Jousters).

She also did a great job with our Children's Page as the Children are so important to us. Our festival's main goal is to teach, give a glimpse of what life was like in the Renaissance. As our festival grows and changes we know that Lisa will work with us to keep the website up to date with our needs. She also made it easy for people to contact us and added the map so people can see exactly where we are.

She is quick to get new information up which is very important for our Festival. As new Vendors apply she gets the information up in 24 to 48 hours. We have to let people know what is coming so the want to come to our festival. The more information we provide the more intrigued they will be to come to our festival.
We've had friends look at the new site and have been told it is GREAT. We've also already had potential Vendors contact us even before the site was "finished." Updating on this particular site is never ending as the festival gets closer more will be added. When the Festival is done for this year we will show and tell all how it went and start getting ready for next year.

Lisa has become a member of our Team in this endeavor. We know we are not the only site she has to work with, but she takes the time to make us feel as if we are. We feel Lisa is an asset and a great investment for our festival and look forward to working with her through the years to come.

Dornon Home Appliance Center, Chillicothe, IL
"Lisa was recommended to my company by another company that does advertising for us. She was extremely helpful with setting up every aspect of my web-site. What is most impressive is the care and concern that she added to the building of our site. I am in the business of selling too, and more importantly servicing the appliance industry, so to find another service minded individual to handle a portion of my business that is her specialty, has been greatly helpful. Thank you Lisa."

Clark Marketing, Peoria, IL
"Lisa developed my website a few years ago and it was an outstanding experience. She's very thorough and responsive. And came through with many great suggestions to enhance my site. I highly recommend her to other small business owners because she's so good, quick--and cost effective. I'm glad to see she's now advertising her services so I can let others know just how good she is to work with. She also takes care of both my office and home computers by performing set-up, repair and upgrade services. She also makes sure my systems are secure from hackers and that they are running at optimal levels. She charges reasonable rates--especially when compared to the "big box" tech solutions out there who do not have a customer service approach, do the bare minimum and charge you an arm-and-a-leg in the process."
Valerie Clark
Owner, Clark Marketing

"Techno wiz, artist's talent--and taste--combined in a Web designer? Unheard of--til Lisa! I've never recommended anybody for anything before now...this gal's just too good to keep a secret...see for yourself...check out her work on the Web...guaranteed cool. Reasonable rates. Oh, and in her spare time from Web stuff, she fixed my computer that I had left for dead! Thanks Lisa, next time I come back, I hope it's for Web again!"
