Testimonials (Page 1, Page 2)

David,

Malcolm and I wanted to thank you very much for the work you did for us creating our new web site. As you know our new restaurant recently opened 6 weeks ago and the website has played a big part in communicating our theme, our menu and our overall concept to our new customers.

The message that the website sends to our customers is vital to our image and you worked very closely with us to ensure all the aspects of colors, logos and strap lines were incorporated.

We have been in Sarasota for only three years and it is very reassuring to know that we have someone we can work with who has as much care, passion and attention to detail on a project as we do.

Thanks again and we look forward to working with you in the future to adapt the site to its full potential.

Cheers

Karen & Malcolm Ronney

With a nearly impossible timeline of 12 working days, David Grace of Abacus Web Services developed and launched our beautiful website, of which we are most proud. Working with David was refreshing; he made the process painless and efficient for a "non-techy" like myself. I very highly recommend Abacus Web Services for any and all web business needs. Thank You, David!

I have had the great pleasure of knowing David Grace for over 9 years now. When Ann and I decided to start a web business it was not even a question as to who we would turn to create our website. In fact knowing David and how hard he works and how committed to his clients was a big factor in starting a web business because we knew with David on our team, the huge task of starting a website would not be so overwhelming.

From our first meeting with David, he asked us all kind of questions and gave us important advice. He brought up things we had not even thought of. The whole process of creating the website was broken down for us step by step. He listened to our questions and our concerns. We trusted him and he did not let us down. Shortly after our website had been launched he met with us and explained how to read and analyze our monthly web statistics. He was always available to us by phone or email and always returned our call or email in a timely manner.

David is dedicated to his clients and to the success of their businesses. I can not begin to tell you all the incredible things he did for my partner and me. I feel honored to know someone as honest, dedicated and hardworking as David Grace. I have been proud to recommend him to others. Not only is he a dedicated business person but he is a dedicated husband and father. Thanks David, for all you have done to help start our business and make it grow!

Dear David,

On behalf of the staff and the Board of Directors of the RC&D, I want to thank you for your fabulous work on the Florida West Coast RC&D website. We are extremely happy with the results, and have received compliments from our local partners as well as from other RC&D councils all over the country.

The site reflects our organization beautifully, and has provided us with an image that we can use in all of our outreach materials. The look is polished, but friendly and accessible -- just the way we want our organization to be perceived by the community. The site is also easy to navigate, and the pages display quickly and are attractive in their design.

Additionally, working with you has been a pleasure. Your professionalism, technical knowledge, web experience, and friendly manner have made this project enjoyable and rewarding. You were always open to an exchange of ideas, and I appreciated that you expressed your opinion and I was able to benefit from your experience.

Please put us on your referral list as we would be pleased to recommend you and your company to anyone. We also look forward to working with you on more web projects as our organization grows.

Thank you so much for your excellent work.

Sincerely,

Britton Miller, Manager of Communications

David Grace, owner of Abacus Web Services, provided me with knowledge, professionalism, and attention. He listened to exactly what I wanted and provided it in a speedy manner. The work was done when promised, and the outcome is so much more than I could have expected. He even managed to teach me a few things along the way. I would highly recommend David for any an all of your web design needs.

"We have worked together since August 2004 and I am always impressed by the level of service you provide and by your professionalism. Although we have never met face to face, I know that my company will always be taken care of and that our website will accurately reflect our stated requirements.

Abacus Web Services has provided invaluable services in many areas - from graphic design to interactive web pages, from photo content to e-newsletter services. I tell everyone I meet that your company does great website design, construction and maintenance at reasonable prices.

Previously, we tried building our website through do-it-yourself programs and free-labor from friends. The end result was far from our expectations. We are very pleased that we chose to use Abacus Web Services for our new TeaExperience.com website. The new look and interactivity has boosted visitors and led to increased business.

We currently appear in the top 10 for the Google search "tea magazine." This time last year we were nowhere to be found for the same Google search! Our increased visibility is a direct result of the work done by Abacus Web Service and its ancillary partners.

Please feel free to use our name and contact information as a 'satisfied customer.' Thank you for making the web work for us."

"In choosing someone to design our web site we had three things in mind creativity, efficiency, and someone with the ability to get Kelly & Kelley on the web fast. We found all these attributes in David Grace, Abacus Web Services. David delivered all this and more. A temporary web site was up and running in one day! Within three weeks we had a fully loaded custom web site. We are thrilled with his work and his ability to get the job done with such great results."

"I would highly recommend David Grace and Abacus to anyone looking for web related services. Not only did they turnaround a 'rush' job - a complete website redesign - within a very short time frame but within the budget too. Almost more importantly, I found David to be extremely efficient, focused and knowledgeable, and a very good listener - something I find lacking these days, especially in the burgeoning web-design business! I will continue to use Abacus Web Services as the need arises."

"One of my first assignments at the Dattoli Cancer Foundation was to create a website offering multi-faceted information on prostate cancer that would be helpful, accurate, and user-friendly. Fortunately for us, David Grace was recommended as the person to do such a job. He is incredibly knowledgeable in his field, and has created a beautiful, well-designed site in a timely and professional manner. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with him, and would be happy to refer Abacus Web Services to others."

Bets Burrell, Patient Programs Director
Dattoli Cancer Foundation

"How good is Abacus? They recently designed an extensive new web site for our forthcoming medical marketing newspaper and even before it was officially launched, I received an e-mail from the managing editor of a national wire service with several extensive web sites. She let me know that she had checked out the site and it was “beautiful”. She was right. It is beautiful. Thanks for gaining us national recognition for our new venture, Abacus."

"Abacus Web Services manage our corporate web sites, shopping carts and our online web marketing campaigns. We enjoy the quality of service that we receive from them, whether it is a new inquiry or a challenge they are 100% dedicated to getting the job done or the challenge resolved. Their commitment to service makes them a pleasure to deal with and makes running our business that but easier."

John Jago-Ford, Co-Owner

"What Abacus and David Grace did for us is nothing short of miraculous. That is why we are using them for yet another project.

First, they designed a very nice site for us on time and within the project budget. Then they exceeded our expectations for customer service and provided solid web business advice as a bonus.

To make it even better, they are still surprising us. When we needed a testimonial letter from the CEO of the University of South Florida Sarasota/Manatee put on our site in a hurry to support a last-minute sales campaign for one of our publications, David Grace had it up within one hour! It just doesn’t get any better than this. Frankly, I wish more companies would be like Abacus."

"David Grace of Abacus Web Services has been an excellent player for our web site design and maintenance needs. He has increased our traffic by the clever positioning of key words and has always been prompt in taking care of our needs.

We can recommend his services to anyone who requires a trustworthy, reliable and efficient person/company for all types of web site work."

"David Grace at Abacus Web Services is the best! Since the re-development my web site looks great, images load quickly, and I'm getting more traffic and sales than ever before!!

I could kiss you - thanks for all your help."
