Elaine
I’m so grateful to you for making my vision a reality! I love the site and have enjoyed our friendship as well!

Elaine~ When I hired you, I did my research on other web designers who had the basic girly look I was going for, but YOU stood out in the crowd.  You impressed me with your originality in your art work.  I knew my website would be like no other because you created it all from scratch.  I was able to give you the idea and you put it on paper and made my dream of a super cute website come true.  I not only got the website I was hoping for, I also made a new friend.  You are so sweet and I have enjoyed working with you, and will keep in touch from here on out.  Thank you for all the hours you put in to making it perfect for me.
You’re the best!

“Hi Elaine,

I just want to thank you for everything you have done for me.  Not only have you created an unbelievable illustration and website, you have also been available any time I have needed you and extremely flexible in dealing with me and my very particular taste. You cannot put a price tag on the personal service you have given. I would sum up my admiration for you and your work by making the comparison that when shopping for a web designer, you are like going to Bloomingdales, while the other sites are like visiting Target.  You truly get what you pay for when using Elaine Biss!

Thank you again!

P.S. By the way, the girl I was dealing with at party pop said she’d never know I was new, my site looks so professional she would have thought I was in business for years!  I told her I have the best web designer!! Thanks again for all of the valuable help.  What’s that visa commercial, new sweater, $100, night a the movies, $50, Elaine, priceless!!!!”

Elaine,
Thank you so much for taking our dreams and running with them.  I just gave you our “wishlist” and you created a logo and a website that truly reflects our individuality.  I am most impressed with how quickly you respond to our questions.  I am so pleased with the professional guidance and knowledge you shared with us.  Thanks to your expertise – I am off and running in the new world of e-commerce.
Bravo!

I love Hipnchic’s personal touch to my website – especially the individualized custom made logo that reflects my personality. The design and art work are beyond wonderful. My experience with Hipnchic has been extremely beneficial and positive.

Elaine was an absolute delight!

Her creativity really blew me away, and her positive, fun attitude made the whole process fun. My website came out even better than I had hoped!
I would recommend Elaine to anyone and everyone.

Elaine is amazing!  She took a picture I emailed her of myself and made a character logo with it.  It was exactly what I had imagined.  When I wanted to talk to Elaine about ideas I had, she was either available by email or phone and sometimes spent an hour or more on the phone with me.

I cannot begin to express how confident and comfortable Elaine made me feel about my visions for my company. Elaine is an amazing artist, designer and friend. She made the entire experience effortless for me.  I came to her in such despair from a previous experience, and she made me see that once you find the right web designer to fit you vision, it’s all uphill from there.  She spent quality time with to explain things that I didn’t know, and she went the extra mile with everything.  This is one of the most exciting experiences as a business owner, and I am so glad I went through it with someone so talented and special.  From the bottom of my heart, thank you Elaine.
Sincerely,
January Turner

“I can’t really express the amount of gratitude I have for Elaine, or as we here at Lollipops & Lizards refer to her as ” The Super Star”. Not only is she extremely gifted and talented, she cares about her clients and was always available to answer my calls, questions & concerns.

It’s always been a dream to start my own business and so I wanted to start off on the right foot.   I felt it was important for my website to give the best first impression.  After doing a lot of searching for web designers, I decided to hire Elaine.  From the moment I saw her website I knew I wanted her to create something special for me.  I really liked what I saw on her site and when she called to speak to me, I became even more excited just hearing about the ideas that she had for my site.

Working with Elaine has been a pleasure, it’s been like working with a friend.  I appreciate the time she took with me to explain the process and answer any questions I had.  She not only replied through email but also through phone calls, of which we spent hours just chatting.  She’s very personable and cares about her clients and their needs.  It’s always a pleasure to work with someone who enjoys what they do and shares in your excitement when it comes to your project.  Not only did Elaine design my website and logo, she also offered tips to help my business prosper, which is helpful for anyone starting their own business.  She really went above and beyond.  I couldn’t be more pleased with my website or the process.  I’m actually going to miss working with her!  THANKS ELAINE!!!!

Thank you so much Elaine, remember, I asked you to be my mentor… ; ) I’ve really learned a lot from you and I appreciate that. I feel you’ve gone above and beyond designing my website.

Here’s something funny, well funny to me but not to you I’m sure. Family and friends keep asking my mom who designed my website! My cousin thought I did it…awww what faith they have in me! lol My mom keeps telling them to look at the bottom of the page, it clearly says who designed it! A friend wanted your information because she too has a business.

When I first hired Elaine to design a logo for my boutique, I’m afraid I didn’t give her much to work with.  I had absolutely NO clue what I wanted except that I wanted it to be feminine and reflect my personality.  That’s about all I told her.  That’s all I knew.  But she took that little bit of information and created a whole new world designed just for me!   We spent about thirty minutes together on the phone in a private consultation.  She asked me lots of questions, like what my favorite colors are, what kinds of products my boutique sells, etc.  Then she took me to several different websites just to get a feel for what elements I liked and didn’t like.   From that little information, she created the PERFECT logo for me!  In fact, it was SO PERFECT, that I hired her to design my letterhead, business cards, eBay templates, and a new website!  Hiring Elaine was the BEST business decision I have ever made!!!!  I wish I had found her years ago!
I absolutely LOVE you!!!

I am very pleased with the work and service from hipnchicdesigns.com.  I had  logos to choose from one day after completing their survey.  The revisions  came back in  less than 24 hours after my request and the final product was  excellent. I highly recommend their service. Thanks Elaine!
