Matt at WallpeDesign was a pleasure to work with as he designed and developed my company web site and provided hosting and email account set-up. The web site has received great feedback from my peers. The most common comment is that it's laid out nicely with easy navigation and is visually great. Matt came up with nice ideas and made the process easy. Other than choosing to write my own site content, the work I had to do was minimal. The turnaround was quick and advice very helpful. I highly recommend WallpeDesign; you'll be very happy with the quality and efficiency.
I was referred to Matt at WallpeDesign by a good friend a designer. She had used him to build the site for her design business. I had an idea what I wanted to do however, knew nothing about how to lay it out or where to start. Matt and I met and within one meeting I had a solid understanding of how to outline the site and get started. Being a small business owner myself I didn’t have a lot of time to set up meeting times to report in with Matt and give him the outlined content he needed to execute the building of the site. Matt and I corresponded via email and all my content and updates were plugged into the site template and were posted and easy for me to view! Matt is service oriented and knows his business! I have and would highly recommended Matt and WallpeDesign to my clients and associated partners. Truly a fan!
When I decided to launch Willis Capital Solutions I quickly went to Matt for his thoughts and ideas. I found my industry to be saturated with hundreds of stale or bland websites and knew I needed something different. I was familiar with Matt’s work and immediately felt I had made the right choice after our first brainstorming exercise. My vision for WCS was to create a simple logo and website noticeably different than the others. Matt’s vision was much more; We needed to create a brand! He provided me with much needed creative expertise and exposure plans my competitors were lacking. Matt went out of his way to understand my industry, learn what my competitors were doing and create a unique plan to fit my needs. After reviewing my notes from our initial brainstorming meeting I am truly amazed at how fast and complete things have come together. I have a great logo and website allowing WCS to stand out from the rest!
In late 2010, my wife and I decided to start a new residential cleaning company. I was referred to Matt Wallpe, Brand Strategist with WallpeDesign by my business banker.
In our initial meeting, Matt impressed me with his no-nonsense, low key approach. He "sold me" without trying to sell me. He didn't waste my time trying to dazzle me with examples of the work that he had done, or talking in geek speak that I wouldn't understand. Instead, he focused on learning as much as he could about me and my vision for the company I wanted to build. He really asked some great questions, and described for me the typical process for his "discovery, design, develop" approach.
When we got started, I hadn't even selected a name for the company yet. Matt made what turned out to be a very valuable suggestion to help us with decisions related to brand development. He recommended I solicit input and suggestions from my peers through social media. Not only did this approach help us select the name for the company, it was also used as we asked friends for help with logo, font and color decisions. With the exception of the name, Matt gave us several options for each of these brand components, and I would then either post these on my Facebook page or email Matt’s suggestions to friends and ask for their votes and feedback. The process that we used turned out to be a lot of fun for us and for our friends, and it made us confident that we were making brand choices that would be well received by our target customers.
After we made decisions related to our brand identity, Matt then began work on our website. During this phase of our engagement, Matt asked lots of questions to help him frame up his initial draft. We would look it over, tell him what we liked and what we didn’t, and he would make the appropriate changes. There were a couple of instances where I ran an idea by Matt that he didn’t think would work well with the design scheme or our brand identity. To his credit, Matt would patiently and respectfully tell me how and why my idea wouldn't be a practical solution. Ultimately, the work that Matt did for us on our website exceeded our expectations. We wanted to project a brand image that rivaled the nationally franchised residential cleaning companies -- what some people call maid services, but I have never liked that term -- and Matt’s work certainly did that. We have received several compliments on both our brand identity and the functionality of our website.
We really enjoyed working with Matt, and I have referred him to friends and networking contacts. Matt has become a trusted business partner to Whole House Magic, and has put us in touch with other local business owners in his network. If I can answer any questions related to using Wallpe Design for your brand development or website design, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
A few months ago I contracted Matt Wallpe of WallpeDesign to develop a complete branding package for my business. Upon initial contact with Matt, I explained that I own an eco-friendly commercial cleaning service but the 'green' concept was not particularly important to most potential clients in my area so I didn't want it to overpower my logo or website. I also told him that my cleaning service took great pride in providing each client with a sparkling clean facility. Matt did an excellent job of using everything that my company stands for to develop a logo and a website that represented my company perfectly. Both my logo and website looked clean and simple and created the nuance of 'green' without being blatant The first word that came to mind when I saw my website was brilliant!
When I contacted Matt from WallpeDesign, I was in need of a new website that truly represented my company. Coming from the design world, I had a good idea of what I wanted and how I wanted my website to look. WallpeDesign was able to take it to another level. Matt was very attentive to my design needs and listened to what I envisioned for the site. He took the time to handle any requests I had and explain design ideas. I am very happy with the end result and have received many compliments on the site since it has launched. I feel very proud of the design he created and how it represents my business. Matt is very patient, talented, and delivered above and beyond my expectations. I would highly recommend WallpeDesign.
Matt was contacted to create a web-site for Loving Hands Adult Day Care. I explained what I was looking for and he ran with it. He captured exactly what we were after. We provided the information and he knew best how to place it. If he did not think something was appropriate or would not work, he was honest which I so appreciated. He is creative in his designs and works in a very timely mannner. He is a true professional who knows his craft very well and delivers a superb product. I highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for one of the best in his field.
Matt delivered great creative ideas for Focal Point Studios and A-GAME Custom Wall Graphics when we were developing our brand identity. Matt is dedicated and passionate about his designs and will work tirelessly to meet your deadline, and deliver quality at same time. I would highly recommend Wallpe Design for your graphic design needs.
