Dragonfly Soaps
Website: http://www.dfsoaps.com
What a gorgeous opportunity it was to work with a small business selling such a beautiful natural product!
Dragonfly Soaps is a green, Pennsylvania-based business selling absolutely lovely handmade soaps. Owner,
Jackie Barth, came to us when she needed a very appealing and professional website to showcase her
company's fabulous inventory of natural bar soaps. With product photography by professional photographer
Thomas MacDonald, our job was to produce a design and expert copywriting that would make a visit to
this website the next best thing to holding one of Dragonfly Soaps' natural soaps in your own hands!
This project was a delight from start to finish and now Dragonfly Soaps' customers have a truly easy
way to order their favorite bar soaps online.
"I am writing to express my gratitude and
appreciation for the excellent and timely work you did on putting together a
website for Dragonfly Soaps. We had no previous knowledge of web design or
even of the process needed to get through the creation of one. You stepped us
through, guiding us as to what we could expect and what you would be needing
next from us and giving us time to sit and reflect with each design
iteration."

"Miriam, your copywriting for our soap descriptions are nothing short of fine
literature and together with the beautiful photograpy work, we truly have a
site that sets us apart from the hundreds of other handcrafted soapmakers on
the internet. It is clean and uncluttered but still gives the search engines
plenty of material to use to find us."
"Responses to the introduction of the
website from friends and family ranged from, WOW, 1st class, awesome and
beautiful to "I got goose bumps when I saw your website". I agree, I love it
and I loved working with you and have already recommended your services to
others. Thank you again."
- Jackie Barth, Owner, Dragonfly Soaps

Internet. This incredibly dynamic, interactive, Web 2.0 website is
making learning the guitar a pleasure for anyone who wants to make
the music they love a part of their life.
"When I first decided to hire a web designer, I did a search in
Google and came up with Solas Web Design. After reading some of their
pages, I really felt like they were the ones that should build my site
so I submitted a question to them. 1 day later, Miriam contacted me and
we talked about creating the website, and what kind of ideas I had.
This is the kind of service you dream of. I felt like I had someone
else that understood where my project should go, and she could put all
my ideas together into a concise site. She sincerely sounded excited
about starting the project with me, and was clearly not in this just
for the money. Needless to say, I was thrilled!"
"We talked backed and forth for awhile and finally settled on a
contract. Then came the day when they sent me the Home page design.
I was almost scared to look at it, but when I did I was in total shock.
It was totally different then what I thought it should look like, but
after a few seconds I realized that this was better than anything I
had ever dreamed. It was new, fresh, and exciting! They had taken my
ideas and formed them into a new fantastic-looking site!"

"Not just designers, but innovators, I believe. When you're working
with people who have a passion for what they do, and also have a great
work ethic, it shows in their work. That's what Solas Web Design to me
is all about: passion and work ethic. What more could you ask for? If
you're looking for a quality, well-built site that is optimized for
both Google and the reader, then look no further than Solas Web
Design. You'll be glad you did."

"Working with Solas Web Design was
such a pleasure, and such a breath of fresh air compared to other
experiences we've had in the thorny world of web design and SEO. They were
clear, direct, fast and obviously knew exactly what they were doing.
I appreciated how patient and helpful they were with us, guiding us through
the process and helping clarify what we wanted and needed for our business.
They always kept us up to date on their progress, and were very responsive
to questions and suggestions. We couldn't recommend them more highly--they
are just as knowledgeable and professional as they appear. They looked at
our business as a whole (not just at our website) which helped them create
a site that both search engines and customers like better."

Colorado Fireside, Inc
Website: http://www.coloradofireside.com
This Montrose, Colorado business is vital to their neighbors! Colorado
Fireside, Inc. offers the wood stoves, gas fireplaces and pellet stoves
that Colorado residents absolutely need to get through those cold mountain
winters. Owner, Jeremy Spencer, has assembled a terrific team of certified
installation and service professionals who ensure that fire and fuel is
being used efficiently and safely in their clients' homes. Though they've
been in business since 2000, Colorado Fireside had yet to establish a web
presence and this is what brought them to Solas Web Design. We developed
a beautiful, functional website for this company and they utilized our
copy editing and Local Search Marketing services as well. This website
will act as an official invitation to come into Colorado Fireside's
showroom and view their fantastic selection of hearths, grills and more.
We love working with companies that serve their neighbors well and our
project with Colorado Fireside has been a pleasure from start to finish.
"Thanks Miriam for a fantastic website.
You did a great job of taking our ideas for the site and turning them into
a fresh and functional website, finally giving us a real presence on the
web. We couldn't have done this without your creative ability and technical
knowledge. We couldn't be happier with the finished product. Thanks for
providing exactly what we asked for and more."
- Jeremy Spencer, Owner, Colorado Fireside
