Testimonials

ALCO Ventures

Just had another great Online Mentoring chat with your team as they guide me through social media and now blogging! I've had a lot of reservations about social media and they have eased my worries.

Your designers have really impressed me with the new design for Alco and I've thrown a lot of production work at your team this week and they are getting things done. You have some real gems at GSSI, thought I'd share.

Niki Taylor, Sales & Marketing Administrator

Tracey Santos

Professional Web Project Manager & Writer

Your people have been just awesome to work with. They’re very professional, capable, have an excellent eye for detail and even have a sense of humour amidst some of the craziness lately. It’s made my role as the project manager on this a lot more manageable.

Logan King

Marquis Wine Cellars

I just popped onto the Marquis Wines website and I wanted you to know that I think it’s incredible what has been done. I love how easy it is to navigate.

I wasn’t even planning on buying anything but once I saw the new layout I started looking around and found some Bordeaux that looked interesting. I ended up buying three bottles of it.

I also really liked that you have that ratings/tasting notes from Wine Spectator, Parker and Tanzer right there. It saved me a lot of time on research.

I will be doing a lot more shopping at Marquis because of the new site. WELL DONE!

A happy client of Marquis Wine Cellars

Our division is absolutely over the moon about the new site... WELL DONE!

Jeff Lewis, Marketing Director

ICI Society

Our members are very pleased with our new website. Lots of accolades. The information is well planned and very easy to find. The database integration is seamless.

Barry Logan, Executive Director

City of Richmond

Initial response to our new look and navigation has been very positive. I am pleased with the subtlety of the design which was crafted to guide the eye to key areas on our pages. In addition, their contribution to our site architecture was both informed and insightful, demonstrating a careful study of our very complex organization.

Colleen Smith, Website Coordinator

Imperial Ginseng Products Ltd.

Imperial Ginseng required a completely re-vamped website that was not only pleasing to the eye, but a website that would effectively get our message across to visitors to the site. We approached Graphically Speaking and asked that they come up with a unique design while keeping within our budget - and they did just that. We are very pleased with the end results and have received a lot of positive feedback and compliments on the website. So thanks again for a job well done!

Bonnie Brennan, Website Coordinator

Swift Messenger Delivery Systems

Our customers love the ‘ease of use’ of the site as it’s simple and informative. Our website now generates in excess of 80% of our orders on-line. I know the courier business and you know web site development. What an unbeatable combination!


Please note I am located 3500 kms from Vancouver yet we still managed to get our website completed simply via email and over the phone. 

 

It has absolutely surpassed my expectations.

Dave Van Dusen, President

AirCare

I was immediately struck by the way the team at Graphically Speaking approached the AirCare web site project. They clearly understood the challenge at hand; merging state-of-the-art technology with creative storytelling. The results are quite impressive. Information on the AirCare web site is logically and strategically organized, and all visitors receive important key messages about the AirCare program through creative use of text, picture and sound. There is no doubt that the AirCare web site works.

Kevin Boothroyd, Manager Public Relations

Gear Up for Life

When I decided to establish a web presence, I interviewed several web designing firms and had very specific selection criteria in mind. I wanted a professional firm who had the highest level of both technical know-how and customer service, who knew the market and were current with the latest internet trends and products. The team that worked on my web site was certainly up to the task! They were professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and committed not only to the project but also to meeting my cost requirements and deadlines.

Julia Mihai, CHRP, MS Personal & Professional
Excellence Coach

Octaform Systems Inc.

Thank you for your hard work and cooperation in completing our website. We are really pleased with the outcome - the simplicity of design and ease of navigation. We look forward to seeing the stats improve over the next few months; in fact, the early signs are very promising!

Dave Richardson

Big Brothers of Greater Vancouver Foundation

Thank you so much for all your hard work on the bowling website. We love it and have received nothing but great feedback about it so far. Thanks again for working within our ever changing timelines and ever constrained budget. We really appreciate it. Good job!

Ashlee King

Linde Equity

Just a short note to express how impressed I am with the site you have all created. I am extremely pleased with it. You’ve all exceeded my expectations and I’m excited to resume my radio advertisements with the new site for listeners to visit.

Above all, working with people who actually respond to e-mails, answer their phones, and don’t consistently have their voicemail box full has been the best part of working with you. What a night and day difference from my last web firm.

Teal Linde

Just wanted to let you know that we are very pleased with the home page we think it is really great!! Thanks very much for the great work! We're excited to be working with you!

Kerry Worth

Texcan

I received a call from one of our customers this morning requesting some products. He mentioned that he was very happy to see our catalogues on our website and liked the new format. He found our part numbers, connector cross reference to match up to his cable size and he was even impressed to look at our other catalogues to see that we have accessories, pre-made extension cords etc.

AND, when he sent in his Purchase Request it had our part numbers and the correct connector sizes on it!

So not only has this saved time for our customer, but it has saved time for sales as the customer did the homework first!!

Please share this with the necessary parties to let them know we have very positive feedback!

Eric Buchegger

Melissa McElwee, Investor Relations Manager

Eagle Pass Heliskiing

We are very happy with our website designed by Graphically Speaking. The feedback from our guests who visited the site was always very positive. They loved the graphics, colors and the fact that everything was fairly simple and that everything worked. Many people commented on the beauty and simplicity of the site. As it turned out the strength of our website coupled with some internet search marketing resulted in roughly 1/3 of our total bookings for this past season”

David Scott

InTime Solutions

We moved our website to GSSI last spring and have never regretted it. In fact they are currently handling our email marketing, brochures, and PPC campaigns as well as the site maintenance. We have had very few problems and they remain easy to work with.

Huge thanks to your team for all the work you did for us leading up to our live stream launch of publications last week.

You folks are just fantastic, the advice on hosting, and all the down-to-the-wire help on the website was much appreciated - as of course was the work to make the Women and Alcohol booklet look so good.

Tom Burlin

Crofton Grower Services

Our website has been up and running for 4 weeks. We are thrilled with the response! We have been receiving 1-2 phone calls a day from new customers from across North America that have seen our website and have called looking for product. We never imagined we would receive this much business back from our website in such a short time. Many thanks to Graphically Speaking for all of their hard work and great ideas!

Carla Crofton, Plant Material Division

OSI Applications

The staff at Graphically Speaking provided professional top quality results for our website. Not only did Graphically Speaking implement our ideas, but they also provided very useful recommendations for improving the quality and functionality of our site. I would not hesitate to recommend Graphically Speaking. They are efficient, professional, helpful, and talented. I consider them to be experts in their field.

Sheila Bennett, Business Development Coordinator

British Columbia Pharmacy Association

Graphically Speaking provided an expertise that never failed to impress. Their skillful team provided a level of direction that was both disciplined and creative. A very tough combination to find when collaborating in today's world of quick fixes and bland solutions.

Our newly designed website has received positive and complimentary feedback from across Canada. For us, that indicates not only a job well done, but illuminates our professional leadership, and the value and importance of our daily efforts.

Susan Ogilvie, Director Communications

Sum's Silk Flowers

We chose Graphically Speaking based on the excellent work they have done before. After our website launched, we were excited about the new customers and orders brought from the site. Graphically Speaking’s professionals always answered our questions in detail and provided correct solutions. You delivered exactly what we wanted. Many thanks to all of you!

Christine Tsang, Executive Director

Strategic Technologies Inc.

Graphically Speaking was patient with Strategic when we were unable to focus on the site for six months as the Company underwent a major transition. This was an unfortunate and unforeseen delay but your gentle nudging was a constant reminder you always had us in your 'sites'. The momentum at Graphically Speaking quickly returned when we were ready to get back on track. You readily accommodated any necessary corporate changes into the website, with only a modest affect on the budget.

Paula Thompson, Executive Assistant

Bosleys Pet Food

Comments have been very positive on the website such as it looks great and very user friendly. Great work to all at Graphically Speaking!

Barb Arseneault, Director of Marketing

Buchanan Barry Chartered Accountants

Graphically Speaking proved to be everything we were looking for in a web developer. Their team translated our poorly articulated vision into a fully functional site that exceeded our expectations and all of this under budget!

Mark R. Rintoul

Alison Longley

I wanted to thank your team for an outstanding job in creating the new Ballard corporate website! We are extremely pleased with the final product and with the smooth, trouble-free launch of the site. Your colleagues have done terrific work for us and their efforts made this happen in such a professional manner. Feedback to date from our employees and senior executives (including Ballard's CEO) has been nothing but favorable and enthusiastic.

Guy McAree, Director, Corporate Relations & Strategic Marketing

The Jim Pattison Auto Group

Their entire team has provided us with excellent support in the areas of website strategy, design, and search engine optimization, usability testing and general ongoing project management.

Bill Harbottle, President

Thomas FX Group Inc.

We have had many disastrous experiences with web design companies in the past. All that changed when we ran across Graphically Speaking. They are the pros. They are great to work with, very effective, and their service is exactly what we need it to be. They are accountable... if there is a problem, they fix it. Upgrades and site tweaks are done within a reasonable time period, and at a reasonable cost. Our Graphically Speaking team has become an integral part of our company, and we view them as part of our corporate "family".

To date online sales conversions have not been what any of us hoped it would be, but research is being done, constant improvements are being made, and our results are steadily getting better.

More significantly, the website generates a large number of direct phone enquiries which convert to sales, so the site has become a very powerful prospecting tool to attract new customers, and an effective online catalogue for our existing customers. There is seldom a day that passes without some new sale, web-initiated enquiry, or without us working with new customers using the site as a real time resource to explore potential purchases.

Bottom line... I would not hesitate to endorse Graphically Speaking, without reservation.

John Quee MBA, CEO

All-Sea Enterprises

The Graphically Speaking team exceeded our expectations on every level. Our website exudes trust and credibility. It looks cool and is head and shoulders above our competition. The site is multilingual, has been optimized for North American and world markets and has paid for itself 100’s of times over.

Vincent Cummings, President

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank you for all your hard work on our new website. The website is excellent and I’ve now started receiving some really nice feedback on it.

It’s been an absolute pleasure working with you, and we’ve really valued your professionalism, friendliness, creativity and excellent promptness. This last item was especially appreciated, as we noted that you always answer the phone immediately or respond shortly after we leave a message, which is not such a common trait nowadays.
