Client Testimonials

I’ve worked with a lot of WordPress designers and developers. Some background — I’ve written books about blogging like “The Complete Idiot’s Guide to WordPress and “Blogging All-in-One for Dummies” and I’m the Blogging Guide for About.com. I also own a marketing company that works in the social media and content marketing space and I write books about those subjects. As a result, I’ve worked in a marketing role with many clients who hire designers to revamp their own WordPress sites. With that said, I’m not a designer, and HTML and CSS are not my area of expertise. When it comes time for advanced design and development, I hire an expert who focuses on those areas. I can honestly say that working with Paul was the easiest and best experience I’ve had with a WordPress site design, and I would not hesitate to hire him again or recommend him to anyone in need of WordPress design services. He doesn’t just ‘tweak’ a premium theme. He builds a custom site from scratch, and it’s worth the investment. Bottom-line, he really is an expert, and I’m thrilled to have found Paul and Zel Creative! — Susan Gunelius, Gainesville, FL – womenonbusiness.com

When my website needed to be updated, I was fortunate enough to get referred to Zel Creative. Besides being a complete pleasure to deal with, Paul brought fresh ideas and thoughtful solutions to the table. His execution and delivery of the finished product was super timely and the results exceeded expectation. I look forward to collaborating with them on future projects and wholeheartedly recommend their services.— Linda C., Artist & Designer, Chicago, Illinois

I worked with Paul at Zel Creative to recreate my website in WordPress. I needed to have greater control over the site and the ability to change content on my own without requiring a programmer. Paul presented me a fixed bid to do the work and he followed through on his promise to get the work done in a timely and professional manner. He exceeded my expectations in terms of the quality of his work and the speed with which he got it done. He responded right away or within an hour or two when I sent him emails with questions as I learned to work with my new WordPress site. For these reasons I highly recommend Zel Creative.— Michael Hugos, Chicago, IL – michaelhugos.com

My new site is everything I wanted. Besides how good the work was, Paul was also simply a pleasure to deal with. He was very upfront and honest, and he was able to get what I wanted for a design just off of some email ideas I had. I am completely ignorant when it comes to web stuff. He had the patience to go through with me on a phone call and train me how to use the back end of my website and blog so that I don’t have to send things to an assistant to upload for me. I am so appreciative for all the work he has done for me and I could not recommend him more highly.— Rev. Laura Cannon, Ellicott City, MD

I must admit I was a bit apprehensive about doing business with someone I had never met over the internet. What a pleasant surprise. They were quick to understand what I was trying to achieve, straight-forward in their approach and super responsive whenever I needed to discuss ideas. A true professional! — Tom, Portland, OR

I want to say a huge thank you to all the folks at zel creative for designing a wordpress site that exceeded all my expectations. What I was most impressed with was how dedicated they were to making sure I was happy with the results. Paul even walked me through the administration of the site and made sure that I knew exactly how to add and modify all the content. As a commercial and film director, I always have new content that I need to add to my site. Now, for the first time, I feel in total control of my site and updates are easier than I ever imagined. — Marcus Stokes, Director / VFX Supervisor, Los Angeles, CA

Our experience with Paul at Zel Creative could not have gone better. He was extremely reliable and accessable. He really produced a high quality blog for us. Within a matter of days he gave us a price and a timeframe and was finished ahead of schedule! We would use him again anytime, and will be recommending him highly to any associates that have work to do involving wordpress.— Laura, Los Angeles, CA
