Ed is a life saver! For months I tried creating a website…read moreusing wordpress but I was beyond frustrated. I had designed sites before but Wordpress was a new language for me and I kept bumping up against walls and could not make progress because I did not have enough knowledge to make forward movement. I needed help! So finally I called Ed and it was the best choice I ever made. I've known Ed for a long time and he has always been enthusiastic about sharing valuable information about the technology that i use in my life. He genuinely loves to help and share from the broad knowledge base he has accrued. Even though I live on the east coast, Ed is in California, he was able to work with me via computer and guide me in the right direction. During our meetings, Ed is able to access and manipulate my computer. The template I had originally chosen was a bad choice so he pointed me in the direction of a practical template that he had already researched extensively. Once I loaded it he walked me through the online tutorials and demonstrated aspects of the template so that I could continue working on my own. He's articulate and thorough, and also very mindful of time and budget. Our meetings usually last 1 to 1.5 hours. After the first meeting I was able to work on my own for a week and make forward progress. I kept track of my questions for our next session, though he let me know I could contact him at any time with questions that come up. He is willing to research my specific needs that go beyond the basic template. Between sessions he sent me a list of plugins that I would need and walked me through them. His pace is fast and he delivers information in a clear and thorough manner. He is also willing to help with aesthetic advice, letting me know about the latest trends in web design. I feel so relieved and blessed because finally I feel secure that my site will be up to date and effective in ways I did not foresee. It's exciting now as I forge ahead knowing I have Ed on my team. It's clear that he is committed to my being satisfied and working at a pace that best suits my needs. I recommend Ed's Left Coast Solutions highly and without reservation as your best choice for a go to person for advice and guidance for your website needs. He has the experience, knowledge and patience to work with you at your level of experience. He is a rare find and techno/guru gem.

We had been putting off designing our online shop and website for years as we thought we could…read moremaybe find the time to do it ourselves...but as time passed we finally realized that even if we had the time to create our own online store, it would be no where near what we wanted it to be. That's when we reached out to Ryan, of Design by Milano. He was so easy to work with from the start. After a quick first meeting where we described our brand and aesthetic he followed up the next day with an idea for a template that was completely perfect and exactly what we had invisioned. The steps following the initial meeting were seamless and Ryan made it easy to work with our busy schedules. We couldn't be happier with the work and professionalism Ryan offered us...not to mention we are in love with our new website and can't wait to share with the world our beautiful online he created for us. We definitely recommend Design by Milano. We are so happy with our choice to work with Ryan and couldn't have imagined a better end result. Worth every penny!

OK, I am trying to list her as a GRAPHIC DESIGNER, but I can't find the category...basically I'm…read moretoo tired to figure it out right now, but I got this far so here goes... I just met with Rachel Long today to discuss plans for my new logo and paper trail branding for my business, Nancy Rothstein Photography. (shameless plug...wait for it....www.nancyrothstein.com) I was referred to Rachel by fabulous Bay Area and beyond photographers Gene Higa and Ann Hamilton. Based on the awesome logos and other design work she did for them, I was very excited at the prospect of hiring her to do some work for me. Rachel doesn't have a website, and frankly, she doesn't need one. The quality of the samples of her work that I have seen in addition to the samples she sent me was excellent. Not only is she a fantastic designer, she successfully orchestrates her designs using a wide variety of styles to suit many different needs. I am eagerly awaiting the first round of comps for my new logo...I'll keep you posted. In the mean time, I give her five stars for all the work I have seen so far, and, did I mention she is totally cool with a down-to-earth personality and a great sense of humor? She's not that graphic designer who's going to nickel-and-dime you to death every time you make an edit! If you want design work to help you stand out in the crowd, give Rachel a call. You won't be disappointed!

She designed gorgeous bar and table menus, and finished her brilliance with an escort card display. Everything she designed was fresh, edgy, and gorgeous. Exactly what I was looking for. She is excellent at listening to what you want and making it happen, only better than you would have imagined! If you want someone who understands modern, stylish design, than you want Rachel!
