“Sandy was the key for me to design a top-notch website to describe my research at University of Toronto. She has a great deal of expertise with regard to designing a website that is user-friendly and accessible to people with disabilities, has interesting and creative ideas, and listens to the client in order to find out the purpose of what she is doing. Because she has a deep understanding of the goals and the work, the suggestions she makes are exactly what is needed. In addition, she is efficient, keeps the client on task, very patient in terms of explaining what she needs, friendly, and speaks English rather than web jargon. Before I started the process I was anxious about it, but now I am both relaxed and very happy with it.”

“I must say I am very impressed. It is easy to navigate and packed full of useful information. I don’t believe a more useful web resource for persons who are blind or vision impaired exists in Canada where general knowledge and adaptive techniques come together in such an easy to understand format.”

“My first encounter with Sandy was a conversation on the phone explaining the project (web design). I wanted her to be involved. Sandy was professional and excited to be involved in redesigning the Ice Owls Blind hockey team’s website. Sandy was so interested that blind people could play hockey, she actually came out to one of our games to see it for herself. Sandy said she was so impressed with the speed of the game and was looking forward to working with me to redesign the website.
We worked very hard together and Sandy had a lot of patience sharing our ideas to improve and make the redesign of the website a success. The website turned out great and Sandy still continues to work with us to ensure the website is current.
I wouldn’t hesitate to work with Sandy on future projects as her professionalism and dedication made the project a great experience.”

“Sandy designed my website several years ago, and I still love the look of it. It is clean, simple and really emphasizes the artwork, not the fancy programing. Sandy was very responsive to all my questions and concerns, I never had to wait for her to respond. She was patient with my lack of technical knowledge and had a very upbeat, positive attitude! I would highly recommend Sandy for a very reasonably priced, well designed site.”

“Sandy has been a pleasure to work with during the re-development of our website, and she was wonderful at helping us with our unique needs. Since most of our members are blind and visually impaired, we needed a fully-accessible site that works for them. Sandy was very sensitive to our needs, she kept us informed at every stage of the process, and she was very receptive to feedback from our members.”

“It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience to work with Sandy in Cyberspace to completely refurbish my research laboratory webpage. All of the communication was via email and I found Sandy to be friendly, helpful, and efficient. My lab webpage now has a much more professional look to it and I am very happy with the quality of the work and the service provided by Sandy.”

“I faced a difficult web-challenge. My web page has to function as a convenient day-do-day information tool for the students in my laboratory. Also, as my ‘face’ to the outside world, it’s an important advertisement for attracting new students. However, as an academic, my budget of time and money for creating the page was very limited. Sandy, you did a beautiful job, working with me interactively by e-mail to get things right, and finishing ahead of schedule. And you were not fazed by handling the technical/scientific content of the pages. Thanks!”
