If you're reading this trying to make up your mind which firm to hire to design your store, the answer's right here - Ventura! As existing customers of Ventura, we cannot speak highly enough of the company and how impressed we've been with every aspect of their operation.
We spent over 3 months talking to various web design firms trying to find the company with the right mix - proven track record of exceptional work, professional and friendly staff with quick turnaround time, and of course, a reasonable fee. We finally found our answer in Ventura. Our website was up and running within 3 weeks of our initial call with them - absolutely no other company can beat that!
Deciding to work with Ventura is a smart investment - it pays for itself in no time. A big thank you to the entire team at Ventura!

10-4 warning
On an extremely tight budget in a highly competitive market, we had to make a decision of either to continue to attempt to revamp our web store in house or pay to have it outsourced. We were very skeptical at first to outsource to anyone. Once Ventura published the new site and smoothed it out, the cost could not have been justified more. Orders literally increased three fold almost immediately. The growth continues to increase and we are quickly gaining on our competitors.
We thought that maybe our market is too specific for any company to understand our specific needs. Boy were we wrong! With a portfolio of related companies like ours, the abilities of the design team were proven. Perhaps the biggest immediate benefit for us was our back end site management. Adding content took hours sometimes. With too many other things to do it just wasn't working. The new design made adding content easy as an excel spreadsheet and any of my employees can do it with ease. Even after the install of the new site any small problem that existed was taken care of asap - usually that same day. Try and beat that! Thank you Ventura!

 "I would like to extend a huge "Thank You" to you for fixing my website. As you know, the design process started over five weeks ago when I began working with a web design company out of state. It was a disaster. The drafts were unpolished, I found myself having to repeat over and over what I was looking for and I was so frustrated because in business, lost time is losing a potential sale.
I contacted Ventura Web Design and within a few hours, a developer fixed my site, knew exactly what I wanted and it looks beautiful.
Ventura Web Design are professionals and definitely know their stuff! I'll be recommending them from this day forward!"
Thanks again,

Culinary Institute of America:
 "Chosing a company to work with on the redesign of our website seemed like a daunting task. Kevin made it easy to choose Ventura Web Design after speaking with him to discuss my needs and limited budget. I felt that my requests and company guidelines were followed during each step of the process and that there were no ‘dumb’ questions.
The site is looking better then ever and we have seen an increase in business since our new look has been in place.
The most important thing to me was feeling like a priority client during the entire process."

 "We would like to sincerely thank Ventura Web Design for the execution of our new website: mygift-store.com. The project went very smoothly, and we appreciate the extra time and effort extended so that we can get our new website up and running as soon as possible.
On a personal note, a special thank you is in order for the fine job Michelle Fox did for us on our website design and construction. She was very helpful and patient as she assisted us with our rather complex product categories, plus we appreciated her advising us every step of the way to help us maximize our potential with the website. Our special requests were expedited with great efficiency and we feel she went above and beyond to accommodate all of our needs.
Ventura and Michelle did an outstanding job for us. We are very happy with the site and look forward to profitable results to help us grow our business to great new heights. The experience was a very positive one due to the high degree of professionalism and outstanding service provided!"

My Diva's Closet:
 "We would like to thank your team for redesigning our website from the generic candy cotton pink to the beautiful gogo/retro website that we have now AND the new logo that we are using for our letterheads.
The process used for getting our website to its final stage was easy and quick. Everything that we requested was implemented including items along the way.
We would like to personally thank Kevin Richards for guiding us and keeping us informed of the progress and for being our point-person for this project.
We are extremely pleased with the new design, colors used and layout. We are currently experiencing an increase in sales and can confidently state that Ventura Web Design is the main reason for this increase.
People always state that, “You always get what you paid for…” In the case with Ventura Web Design and its crew, this would not be true. We received a lot MORE then what we’ve paid for. Thank you VENTURA WEB DESIGN!"

 "I really enjoyed working with Ventura Web Design from the start of the
website-building process through the training they provided. Their team
was thorough, prompt, and professional. They listened to my desires and
were very nice about reformatting the site when I changed my mind about
small things on numerous occasions. I would heartily endorse their
services for your Yahoo Small Business."

Tails by the Lake:
 We hired Ventura Web Design to redesign our website to a more updated
professional look. We were receiving 50,000 unique visitors a month on
the site but our conversion rate was low at about 1 out of 500
customers on the site placing an order. We
believed this was partly due to the fact that our website was outdated
which in turn lowered consumer confidence. Our conversion rate has now
doubled with increased professionalism and consumer confidence. Oh and
our site looks awesome!

 Ventura Web Design has been a tremendous asset to my campaign. They
designed a first rate web site for me very quickly. Their unparalled web
design experience, innovative ideas, creativity, superb customer service
and reliability make them the best in the business as far as I am
concerned.
I recommend them without hesitation.

Safety and Security Center:
 April 2006
I wanted to take a minute to compliment everyone at Ventura Web Design
for a job well done.
When we decided to take our internet business to a higher level, the
first priority was to bring a professional look to our previously "stock"
Yahoo! store. We chose Ventura for their amazing design abilities and
willingness to listen to our needs and offer ideas to maximize the
effectiveness and ease of use of our new online retail site.
Throughout the re-design process, everyone at Ventura Web Design
offered impressive creative options, quick turnaround of drafts and flawless
execution in the programming of our finalized look.
In short, Ventura Web Design took our web site from ordinary to
extraordinary quickly, easily and on budget. We expect increased sales, longer
customer visits and greater customer shopping satisfaction as they
navigate our updated internet store.
I would recommend the web design services of Ventura Web Design without
hesitation to anyone desiring to professionalize their Yahoo! Store.
Please feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions.

Six Months Later
Just a quick note to say we are already experiencing a noticeable
increase in orders since the redesign of www.safetyandsecuritycenter.com.
See the attached graph for details.
While page views have not yet increased (waiting for spidering of the
search engines), our conversion of shoppers to
customers has probably doubled. As this is our "slow" season, we can
only attribute the increase to the professional look of our new web site.
Clearly, such an increase will quickly recoup the investment we made in
redesigning our site and will lead to increased profitability in the
months/years ahead.
Many thanks,
Thomas Franks, President
Clayton Communications, Inc.
