From the first email exchange, Amanda ‘got’ me. She under­stood my fear and lack of skills and spun it into excite­ment about build­ing a site I hadn’t even con­cep­tu­al­ized yet.  Amanda is intu­itive, fun and oh-so-professional.

Her enthu­si­asm is con­ta­gious and her focus is envi­able. My site is now a fab­u­lous and accu­rate reflec­tion of me, my per­son­al­ity and my atti­tude.  Amanda gave me a sense of relief. I can focus on the con­tent and know the design is fit­ting. She’s got kick-ass style on every level and mad skills to exe­cute the task at hand.

Writ­ing a Blue Streak

Julie Roads, Writer

Amanda is, well, hmmm…how can I say this? FANTASTIC (in a word). She’s fast, has an incred­i­ble eye for design, color and UI. And even bet­ter than that is her pas­sion for her work. I’m not sure who was more excited about my project to be hon­est, me or her. And when it’s your baby (yes, I mean your site), you want your designer to be right by your side in your desire for it to ROCK. And Amanda’s got that down…and so much more.

Writ­ing Roads

Amanda really is violet-minded. By that I mean she’s cre­ative and pas­sion­ate, kind and thor­ough. She made me feel like part of the design process, and kept my web needs–and personality–in mind. As a result, I’ve had numer­ous peo­ple com­pli­ment the new site, espe­cially how “me” it feels. Amanda’s also spunky and ener­getic; the entire process feel like one huge party–definitely a plus!

I knew I’d reached my own web design capac­ity. It was time to hire a pro­fes­sional. Amanda totally met and exceeded my hopes while simul­ta­ne­ously redefin­ing the word “brilliant.”

She added gor­geous graph­ics — smoothly, quickly, and in behind-the-scenes ways; but more, she worked her technical/coding magic, fix­ing and strength­en­ing all kinds of hid­den “stuff” that I knew was needed but couldn’t even begin to artic­u­late. Through­out the whole process she lis­tened, fielded my end­less ques­tions, and calmed my anx­i­ety with a dry sense of humor, flour­ishes of whimsy, and a level of care that enabled me to totally rest in the hands of a highly com­pe­tent tech­ni­cian.

I am so glad to know that I am totally done doing ANYTHING on my site. Why would I? I now have Amanda on my team, as my ally, as per­son­i­fied bril­liance! And if that’s not enough to con­vince you, she loves The Lord of the Rings. I’m totally sold!!

RENE­GADE­con­ver­sa­tions

Kelly Diels, Writer

Amanda Farough makes it hot and she makes it easy. Even bet­ter than that, she makes my web­site work. Fast.

She’s a junkie for code and mon­key for pretty.

Tech is my kryp­tonite. I don’t know it and I don’t want to know it. I just want to write and make money, not fig­ure out how to present that writ­ing to make money.

So Amanda is my secret weapon. She’s my fortress of soli­tude, but in a chatty, friendly, not-solitary way. I tell her what I want some­thing to look like, and how I want it to work, and she makes it hap­pen. LIKE RIGHT NOW.

And she takes meet­ings over cup­cakes. I adore her. You will too.

Cleav­age

April Eloa Snowe, Actress

violetminded’s designs are as beau­ti­ful and unique as the peo­ple she makes them for.

There are thou­sands of generic actor web­sites out there, but Amanda made mine reflect my per­son­al­ity and stand out from the rest — and in no time!

She approaches each design with a pas­sion and a bril­liance that can be matched by very few; and she can code to boot!

Amanda is intu­itive, atten­tive, and a plea­sure to work with. I’d like no-one bet­ter to rep­re­sent me on the internet.

If you want to be seen and heard, there’s no bet­ter way than to become a Vio­let Zombie.
