What My Clients Say

Kim Shyman — William Shyman and Associates

As an IT pro­fes­sion­al, out of the busi­ness for years, and did not want to put in the effort to design my own web­site, when I saw a web­site that Bright Clear Design created…I was hooked. It was the only com­pa­ny that I had seen that I appre­ci­at­ed their design. Per­son­al­ly, I pre­fer a clear, infor­ma­tive website…not a lot of mess. I want it clear, clean, and infor­ma­tive… Bright Clear Design was the one web design­er that was my vision. Bright Clear Design has cre­at­ed 2 web­sites for me and I have been very hap­py with the design, the response to my changes, with the patience with my not being prompt with my get­ting back with them prompt­ly because of my busy­ness of my busi­ness. Bas­ti­aan and his team are amaz­ing!! And if you want a clean… I mean  clean, and beau­ti­ful website…they are your team.

Tracy Drinkwater — North Freedom Repair

I had the oppor­tu­ni­ty to work with Bas­ti­aan at Bright Clear Design on the North Free­dom Repair busi­ness web page. His name was giv­en me by refer­ral. I had talked to Bas­ti­aan about get­ting me a bid for putting togeth­er our web page. Out of all bids I went with Bas­ti­aan for a good rea­son. First rea­son, like any busi­ness, I want­ed a big bang for my buck. Sec­ond rea­son is the com­mu­ni­ca­tion, Bas­ti­aan always called or emailed back prompt­ly, and when doing so he always had a pos­i­tive atti­tude. I was nev­er once made to feel I was annoy­ing him or uncon­vinc­ing him. He was always pleas­ant and excit­ed to talk about what­ev­er ques­tion I had. I feel that is one of his best qual­i­ties and a rar­i­ty when work­ing with a web design­er.

Tracy Drinkwater — North Freedom Repair

Final­ly dur­ing the process of design­ing the web­page, Bas­ti­aan made me feel in con­trol. There were some things I depend­ed on him for his cre­ativ­i­ty but was more involved with oth­ers. He was open, hon­est, and wel­comed any micro man­ag­ing I did when it came to cer­tain parts of the web page. I nev­er once was made to feel I was being brushed off or unim­por­tant. I could not have picked a bet­ter web page design­er to help rep­re­sent North Free­dom Repair. Thank you Bas­ti­aan for pro­vid­ing North Free­dom Repair with excel­lent ser­vice, good pric­ing, and above all a dis­cov­er­able web page, that I can keep adding to and chang­ing. I real­ly feel that North Free­dom Repair got the bet­ter deal.

Dawn Koller — Blue Sky Massage School

It has been a plea­sure work­ing with Bas­ti­aan. I stepped in the mid­dle of some­one else’s project and he was extreme­ly help­ful and accom­mo­dat­ing to the new direc­tion. Our new web­site has had rave prais­es, have a look at www.BlueSkyMassage.com. Hav­ing the inter­nal con­trol to make some changes our­selves was exact­ly what we were look­ing for. Yet we still have the sup­port need­ed for the tech­ni­cal stuff.

Kal K. — Richards Insurance

Very easy to work with. Very pro­fes­sion­al and gets the job done fast. Check out the high qual­i­ty web site he did for me at www.richardsinsuranceagency.net. Also extreme­ly afford­able for the amount and qual­i­ty of work that he does.

Al Doering — North Freedom Repair

It has been won­der­ful to work with Bas­ti­aan at Bright Clear Design! He was ded­i­cat­ed and had real­ly inno­v­a­tive ideas when set­ting up our busi­ness web­site. He was straight for­ward and kept us involved in the whole process. The ser­vice was very prompt and we are very hap­py with the results!

Aaron Bauer — Forward Farm Lines

If you are look­ing for a web­site on bud­get and on time that is deliv­ered as promised look no far­ther than Bright Clear Design. Our expe­ri­ence with Bas­ti­aan was noth­ing but pos­i­tive. Our web­site was made to fit our vision and we are hap­py to have the clean, pro­fes­sion­al, func­tion­al and attrac­tive web­site that we have today. To be hon­est we were attract­ed to Bright Clear Design with their com­pet­i­tive pric­ing but soon real­ized we were hap­py with the work and ser­vice offered. Don’t have a URL? Don’t wor­ry Bas­ti­aan will take care of that too and help set up your email address to match your web address. Just Fan­tas­tic.

Alan Williams — CamAid

I want to express my impres­sion; in how “Bright Clear Design,” has helped my orga­ni­za­tion, in a great way. I was very pleased, with the web design­er. They did their best to under­stand the theme, of our com­mis­sion, and our objec­tives, of what we are try­ing to accom­plish, to com­mu­ni­cate, to who vis­its our web­site (www.camaid.org). When we receive feed­back regard­ing our web­site that Bright Clear Design cre­at­ed, I receive pos­i­tive, and they were impressed by the sim­plic­i­ty, and how it was well designed. Thank you, Bright Clear Design, I high­ly rec­om­mend your ser­vices to oth­ers.

Kim Shyman — William Shyman and Associates

My hus­band if very pleased with the site thus far!
The web­site looks awe­some. I real­ly like the design and col­ors that you used. It is very pleas­ing to the eye and straight for­ward. I do like the col­ors that you have used on the web­site.

Josh Pozdolski — Spot in the Woods Lodging

My expe­ri­ence with Bas­ti­aan has been and con­tin­ues to be very good.He is very atten­tive and gave atten­tion to every detail. As a busi­ness own­er I was also impressed on how he under­stood how impor­tant a good web­site is for a busi­ness and our busi­ness has reflect­ed in a very pos­i­tive way. He is also very honest,fair and con­ducts him­self with high integri­ty. I would rec­om­mend Bas­ti­aan to any­body for web­site design.

Beth Goethel — ReMax Grand

Knowl­edge­able, time­ly and easy to work with. Would high­ly rec­om­mend their ser­vices!

Tammy Metcalf — Better Gutters LLC

Great work.… Love our web­site. When ever we need a change, Bas­ti­aan is always will­ing to do the job. Thank you

Stephanie Shanks — Steph Shanks Photography

Great to work with!

Machteld — Jongmans Adem- en Ontspannings Therapie

Begin 2017 heb ik Bas­ti­aan gevraagd een web­site voor mij te ontwer­pen. Hij vraagt je eerst een keuze te mak­en uit ver­schil­lende soorten web­sites. Hier­door kri­jg je zelf al een goede indruk wat je zelf wel of niet wilt.  Ook het aan­lev­eren van tek­sten en foto’s wordt hier­door makke­lijk­er. Zijn werk­wi­jze is heel duidelijk
In een hele mooie eigen sti­jl maakt hij een duidelijke en mooie web­site. Met name de heldere indel­ing en het gebruik van de foto’s is erg goed . Het ver­fi­j­nen van de web­site ver­loopt in goed tem­po, waar­door je in een korte tijd een mooie web­site hebt. De samen­werk­ing met Bas­ti­aan ver­liep erg plezierig.

Charles Schwartz — Git-R-Done Asphalt Paving

Did an Awe­some job on our web­site!!! Can’t thank you enough!!! We’ve got­ten many com­pli­ments from cus­tomers on the qual­i­ty of his work. You have helped our busi­ness grow! Thanks again! Git-R-Done!!!

6 Short Steps Towards Your Brand New Web­site

  • 1. Inquire

    Through the phone, email, and an online inquiry I get to know you, what you do, and what you want to achieve with your online pres­ence.

  • 2. Meet

    After the assess­ment we can meet by phone, Skype, or in per­son. We focus on your online mar­ket­ing goals. The same or next day, I email a pro­pos­al with ser­vices, pric­ing, and spec­i­fi­ca­tions.

  • 3. Choose

    You can mark your choice(s) on the pro­pos­al, sign, and return it. It is our con­tract. Once I receive con­tract, first pay­ment, and require­ments, you can select 1 out of 3 exam­ple lay­outs to get start­ed.

  • 4. Build

    I cre­ate your host­ing account then install and con­fig­ure all web­site soft­ware, fea­tures, and func­tions. I orga­nize all con­tents. Then I cre­ate visu­al­ly attrac­tive pages, promi­nent calls for action, and user-friend­ly nav­i­ga­tion.

  • 5. Review

    I pub­lish the site on a tem­po­rary address for review. You can give feed­back in your reply. I make the changes and test for web­site and mobile per­for­mance, respon­sive­ness, and user expe­ri­ence.

  • 6. Publish

    I cre­ate and test your email account(s). Your web­site is ready. Take anoth­er look. After you sign off, I pub­lish it on its per­ma­nent web address. You are live. Con­grat­u­la­tions.
