<h2>More reviews about Alex Designs LLC</h2>
<blockquote><h3>January 18, 2011</h3>
<p>&#8220;Franklin University hired Alex in 2009 to redesign the institutional website at www.franklin.edu. Alex&#8217;s deep understanding of standards compliant site architecture, user interface optimization, SEO-centric design and coding, and his ability to intuitively grasp institutional business goals and their implications for the design of the public-facing site were unparalleled amongst the list of candidates for the contract. Needless to say, our expectations were high &#8211; and Alex delivered on all of them, often above and beyond reasonable expectation. He delivers no matter the circumstance, and his output is exceptional in every way. In fact, our first experience with Alex and the positive results that came from it led us to hire him again to redesign the portal for our customized learning management system that all Franklin University students use on a daily basis. He did an excellent job with that project as well.</p>
<p>We would hire Alex again without any hesitation. He does exceptional work.&#8221; </p>
<h4>Director of Web Marketing,<br />

<blockquote><h3>January 9, 2011</h3>
<p>“If you&#8217;re looking for someone to design direct response creative, landing pages or emails &#8211; you&#8217;ll find few as talented and as personable as Alex Harris. I&#8217;ve worked with him on more than one occasion and every time he&#8217;s delivered quality work, on time and within budget. I&#8217;d gladly recommend him to anyone and look forward to working with him again.”</p>

<blockquote><h3>October 28, 2009</h3>
<p>“I hired Alex and his firm, Alex Designs, to redesign our corporate websites (www.fast-dry.com and www.10-S.com). We chose Alex and Alex Designs because he seemed to grasp our issues best and was also an expert on our Netsuite ERP platform. We were extremely happy with the results, including the design, layout and production of the new sites. Alex was open to feedback and suggestions for improvement throughout the process. We saw an immediate increase in the number and quality of online leads for our construction company and online sales for our distribution business. I turned to Alex again last year for some search engine optimization (SEO) work and were equally pleased with the results. Our rankings immediately improved and we saw an increase in the number of hits, leads and sales. I would definitely recommend Alex for web design or SEO projects, particularly if you are a NetSuite client.” </p>

<p>“Alex Harris built a professional web design for the USA.NET web refresh that occurred at the beginning of 2008. The design met the usability requirements determined by Future Now, a persuasive web architecture company, and was optimized for search engines. The CSS code was completed to perfection and the web developer who built out the designs said that he had never seen code quite as clean as that provided by Alex Designs. In addition, all deadlines were either met or beat &#8211; which makes the process easier for everyone involved. We&#8217;ve received nothing but compliments on the new web site at USA.NET.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.alexthinks.com/images/website-design-revenue.jpg" style="float:right; border:0; margin-left:20px">There are a lot of great web designers, but many designers do not focus on making their clients more money. A comprehensive marketing plan along with a great website design is the easiest way to help a company grow.

<p>Most designers do not understand all the factors that contribute to the success of a website. The artwork is just a small portion of what is needed to be successful. When considering a layout you also need to consider monitor resolutions, SEO, streamlining customer service needs, reducing page fallout and cart abandonment, plus determing a strategy to create a long term relationship with your visitors.<br />
