Testimonials

John did an exceptionally good job understanding what I wanted to do. There were a couple of areas where I was trying to go in the wrong direction. He helped me understand why what I was asking wasn't the ideal solution and proposed better alternatives. His design and execution were outstanding. John is a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend John.

John Sexton of Groupmind Media was an excellent partner in developing a family of websites for our organization (4 new sites and 2 sites redesigned) with multiple contributors in just four months. He listened very well, did research on the best options, provided guidance when needed, responded to feedback quickly, worked very efficiently, and was very disciplined in providing documentation. I could not be happier than finding John for this job.

John made working on the design for my blog a pleasure and a rewarding creative experience. He helped to draw out my ideas about the site and what design would best communicate the intention I had. Throughout all phases, from initial conception and prototyping, through to execution and fine-tuning, John always clearly communicated where we were heading and why. The value of the process for me wasn't just ending up with a professionally designed site, but also contributing to clarifying my thinking about what I wanted to do and achieve with the the site. John is a true creative professional who will help you realise your site design and in the process you will learn a lot about online communication.

John and the team at Groupmind Media were amazing to work with. John was able to take a vision that only existed inside my head and turn it into reality. I was blown away with the results. His design was spot on. I highly recommend his services above all others.
— Ralph Quintero, The Great Business Project

John implemented a unique and striking design for us, and he did so in record time while maintaining excellent communication throughout the process. We are thrilled with the result -- which hardly resembles the Thesis Theme by the way -- and thoroughly enjoyed the process of working with John.

I couldn’t be happier with the design that John created for Tiplet.com. His custom Thesis design makes the site stand out, and provides just the look I wanted.
— Kevin Savetz, Tiplet.com

John is a remarkable practitioner and tireless design and development consultant. I should know, because I tested the depths of his patience as we worked together recently on my vanity site! I would recommend him to anyone who is looking, as I was, to learn directly from someone: John was more than receptive to explain at every step code distinctions and nuances of WordPress, the Thesis framework and his general approach to design and development. I couldn’t have appreciated it more. But where he shines particularly is in his tenacity and diligence in ensuring his client is seeing their vision realized. I can recommend John with serious gusto.

After a lot of research, I made absolutely the right choice in working with John to design and create my WordPress blog using the Thesis template. John grasped what I wanted to accomplish and responded quickly to meet my time lines in not only getting my site up and running but also to tweak things as we went along. John also provided me with timely, detailed answers to my numerous questions enabling me to make future changes myself. I recommend John’s services if you are looking for a reliable person who is results oriented and wants to make his clients happy.

I can’t tell you (or yes I can) how pleased I am with the work you’ve done. Set aside how amazing the site looks, it captures me and my work in a way that I’ve never been able to. I’ve never really felt my website was “me” until now. But that’s not the most amazing part – working with someone as professional as you was a treat. I pride myself on service and more often than not, I’m disappointed in the people I work with. This is not the case with you. You were so on top of things, recommend new ideas, best-practices, and looking at my site as if it were your own. I can’t thank you enough.
— Jeff Wolfsberg, Jeff Wolfsberg & Associates

I had a great experience working with John. From the very beginning he exuded professionalism, sought to understand my needs, hit the nail on the head in my desires for my blog and finished with a bang! I would highly recommend him for your next project!
— Grace Biskie, Gabbing with Grace

John designed our corporate website, and he was a delight to work with. He’s fast and efficient, which means he saved us time and money. He’s also got a great eye for balance and design, so I knew I could trust him to come up with something that not only worked seamlessly, but looked good too. He was a fantastic communicator throughout the entire process, which made things easy and enjoyable. I’ve worked with a lot of web designers on a lot of different projects, and after working with John, I wouldn’t want to work with anyone else.

Dear John, I loved the look of many Thesis-based sites (CopyBlogger, chrisbrogan.com and the like), but my technical abilities just didn’t extend that far. I knew I needed help, and I’m so glad I found you. Right from the beginning, you sought to understand me and my goals. You’ve struck a very nice balance between information, usability and elegant simplicity – and affordability. Now, every time I go to my website (www.scribblybark.com.au), I’m delighted with what I see. It feels like me. (I really didn’t mean for that to sound so cheesy, or for it to rhyme, but it’s true). On the measurables, within just a few weeks I’ve already had great feedback from users, my bounce rate has improved and visitors are spending much more time taking a look around. And your training to help me self-manage the site has been spot on. I’ve got everything I need to be self contained for a good while, now. But I won’t hesitate to get back in touch when I need you again. Thanks, John for all your help in making it so.
— Christiana Stergiuo, Scribbly Bark

I came to John with a general idea of what I wanted to accomplish with Social Smarty. His process and clear explanations helped me define specific goals up front, which was very helpful. John designed both my logo and my website, and provided excellent support and strategy advice during the process and after the fact. John made me feel like a partner in the design and development process and took care to explain what was happening at every step along the way. Hiring John has given me not only a brand and website that I am proud of, but also a greater insight into and greater appreciation for the web development process!
— Kathy Walterhouse, Social Smarty

Having already been around the block with another WordPress developer, it was a relief working with John on our two blogs. It's not only that he had a much greater level of expertise; John's adept project management and timely communications made the collaboration a breeze for my team. Highly recommended.
— Robert Rosenthal, VolunteerMatch

John is an absolute professional! He is responsive, reliable and very knowledgeable. He provides excellent work and he lives up to his commitments. He is passionate about his work and it shows. I have recommended his company to others, and I would not hesitate to use his services again.
