She said I was of no character, that the judge who ruled against them made a wrong ruling and just wanted to go to lunch, and that they'd be dealing with me later ... kind of intimidating. Funny that they call now when they wouldn't return phone calls before. Proceed at your own risk. Update 7/09/09: Small Claims court instructed Alliance Network Services \ Alliant Internet Services (??.. see original review below) to pay within 30 days. In my opinion, they could have paid immediately. However, they did not even pay within the appropriate time frame. Instead they played games. After the 30 day window they said they mailed a check. However, they used a wrong address. Strange, since when they were sending me bills they had the right address. And my email footers had my address, and my card, etc. Then when they finally did pay 40 days after the court hearing, they made the check out to the name of my domain which they were supposed to have created a web site... not to me, which created an issue to get cashed. Based on my experience, very sketchy business.

They can work with any theme and were able to recommend and implement some awesome plugins. We have 60 clients for e-marketing and they often ask us to work on their site. We send them over to Rachel and Alliance for proper site design. I had no idea that they have built some of the most famous small business Seattle websites until after I worked with them. Great communication, skilled staff and beautiful work. I look forward to sending more web design projects their way.

They began by asking about my services, the personality of my business, and other background info to make sure the design would be a great fit. I received several design ideas to choose from -- that was the hardest part, as there were several I thought were great!

I will return to Trendesigns for future design work.

Christa Smith is amazing! I am currently enrolled in a Mastermind Group brand coaching/consulting…read morecourse with her company, Savvy Brand Builder, and I've already reaped great results from my first 3 months of her course. In addition to being a sharp, energetic, and pleasant person, Christa isn't afraid to challenge you and force you to take a hard look at what you're doing in regards to your branding strategies. Personally, she has helped me reinforce and achieve further clarity on the "why" behind what I do (wealth management) and she has really helped me develop the always-important 10, 30, or 60-second personal commercials or elevator pitch. Additionally, she did a thorough review and audit of my entire online presence and social media pages. She exposed me to many new tips, tricks, and need-to-know pieces of information, all of which have helped me greatly. If you, or someone you know, is looking for a consultant who won't give you a bunch of "fluff" about your current strategies - but WILL give you an honest evaluation and steps to fix whatever is holding you back, Christa is your go-to gal. Needless to say, I would HIGHLY recommend Christa's services and her Mastermind Group coaching concept to anyone who is committed to branding themselves and take their business and brand strategies to the next level.
