Testimonials
“The Gloderworks team offer a first class website design and hosting service at a competitive price. Professional, friendly and flexible, Derry and the team listen to what you want from your website and make sense of the technical jargon so many other website designers delight in baffling us with! Getting my website up and running was an incredibly simple process with Gloderworks and quick - within weeks of first meeting with Derry, my site was live on the web. I would recommend Gloderworks to anyone looking to invest in a professional looking website.”
Sophie J
“As a woman in my 60's, I did not grow up with computers and never would have gotten one if it hadn't been for "The Quilter's Computer Companion," co-authored by Gloria Hansen. Never in my wildest dreams would I have ever thought she would be one day designing a web site for me. I don't think there are many fiber artist today that don't use the computer in some aspect of their work and Gloria Hansen showed us the way”
Sandra Scott, Monroe, Connecticut
“I hope you are enjoying my new improved website. Gloria Hansen and Derry Thompson did a really great job designing it for me and they deserve ALL the credit. My part was simply to answer emails quickly, mostly telling them I agreed with what they were doing, please go right ahead.”
Robbi Joy Eklow, Grayslake Illinois
“It is always a pleasure to recommend Gloderworks to friends and associates looking to launch or improve a website. They built my website in 2005 and from the outset have been a delight to work with. They designed a site that represents me and my work in a professional yet personal manner. My business has benefitted and grown immeasurably as a result.
The dynamic function of the site allows me to keep information timely and imagery current. As my needs have changed, Gloderworks has made suggestions about improving functionality and adding features that have enhanced the site.
Customer support and service has been prompt, responsive and usually has gone above and beyond what was requested. Specific questions or gaps in my skill level have been addressed in a supportive and informative manner.
It is my firm belief that my Gloderworks designed website is a major factor in my ability to run my business as a full time studio artist and free lance educator. Opportunities have come my way as a result of this website that I might not have found on my own. The site is clean, loads quickly, navigates easily and is (according to the email I get) a nice place to visit.
What more could an artist want?”
Laura Cater-Woods, Billings, Montana
“Robbi, your site is so great...I love the organization, the color, the expression of you! Gloria really has a way of doing that...capturing the YOU-ness of a person or a group. Gloria and Derry did our website last year and they have been such great support over time. Gloria's ALWAYS been famous in my book, and she and Derry have come through on more than one occasion ... We are so lucky to know them.”
Sharona Fischrup, owner New Pieces quilt store and gallery, Berkeley, California
“Gloderworks was hired by Grand Bank to redesign our website. We found them to be very creative and responsive. During our initial design meetings, deadlines were set and all the deadlines were met prior to the original dates that were established. We found Gloderworks to be very helpful and creative. They helped us not just establish an outstanding website, but also a site that is very useful to our customers. They also made it so our site was easy to find on any search engine. Grand Bank and its affiliates were extremely happy with the services provided to us by Gloderworks. When the need comes to redesign our site again, Grand Bank would without question choose Gloderworks.”
