Dave Hazlett - General Manager - ThermActive Electronics, LLC
I approached O’Daniel Designs with a very abstract concept for the ThermActive Electronics website, a very tight timeline, and a request to provide a user-friendly interface to add/upload/delete product files. Gina responded with a website design that was right on target. Leon was very patient with my "adjustments" and spent his Memorial Day weekend completing the project so ThermActive could launch on schedule. I strongly recommend O’Daniel Designs for their professionalism and commitment, as well their creativity and technical expertise. Best regards - Dave Hazlett

Gina does such beautiful work. I seldom hand out my brochure without someone asking, "Who did your brochure?" I joke that I should just put her business card on it, but then they wouldn't pay any attention to my business! Seriously, I'm very happy to recommend her to anyone who needs to make a statement. My business is not the easiest to design anything for, but she managed encapsulate everything that I do..from baby showers, weddings, to parties and memorials! Once I hand someone a brochure, I have to wait a moment for them to speak again and pick their jaw up off the floor! Thank you, Gina!
Jim Korbein, Chief Executive Officer - Silver Cloud Inns and Hotels
O'Daniel Designs built our Silver Rewards guest loyalty website and corresponding SQL database back in 2002 and since that time over 40,000 reward members have signed up and used the application. Leon and Gina did a great job in both the initial design and our occasional requests for modifications and updates. We actively use the program as a key element of our business and give their design and creation efforts high praise as it relates to the level of intricacy and sophistication of what is going on in the background, and more important to us, the ease of use and simplicity for the end users.
Scott Heinlein, Deputy Director - Washington State China Relations Council
As Deputy Director of the Washington State China Relations Council, (WSCRC) it is a pleasure for me to have the opportunity to write about our experience working with Leon and Gina O'Daniel at O'Daniel Designs. The WSCRC is a non-profit organization founded in 1979. I came to work at the Council in February, 2001 and our relationship with O'Daniel Designs began in June, 2001. When I met Leon and Gina, the WSCRC was in the "dark ages" when it came to using the internet as part of our daily operations. O'Daniel Designs represented "one-stop-shopping" for the WSCRC in: 1) educating us on the use of this new technology, 2) establishing our on-line presence and 3) incorporating the web into how we run our business. One example of what this new efficiency has meant to our bottom-line, every year the Council holds several major programs each year and we average more than $2,000 in printing and postage costs to mail out "hardcopy" program information. This process was time-consuming and wasteful as 25 percent of the invitations were returned as undeliverable mail. Working with Gina to layout the graphic design of our web page and Leon handling the functionality of the on-line registration process, the interface between our database and payment processing information, the WSCRC has realized a 20 percent increase in our net return on our program revenue. Moreover, we now offer services to our membership that we unimaginable prior to partnering with O'Daniel Design. It is without hesitation or reservation that I recommend O'Daniel Designs to your firm.
John Heller, President - Seattle Street of Dreams, Inc.
It's been a pleasure to work with Leon & Gina O'Daniel of O'Daniel Designs. The combination of Leon's computer expertise and Gina's creative designs make for a well rounded design team. I have already recommended O'Daniel Designs to several clients and would not hesitate to use them in the future.
Mike Scott - Principal - Dupre + Scott Apartment Advisors
Dear Leon, It has been almost four years since we launched the new web site you created for us. It was a major redesign of our old, static web site and included a client log-in section, powerful user-customized reports, automated credit card processing, and many more features. The initial site launch went smoothly, and that's impressive because there were so many new and complex features. I enjoyed working with you preparing for the initial launch. You were creative, professional, and reliable. You were quick to understand our goals and vision and it didn't take long before you were showing us either better ways to achieve our goals, or additional features our clients would value. We have continued to work closely together since the launch, adding new features for our clients on a regular basis. And when we have had an urgent need, you've always been there. I've received many calls from you at 8pm and on weekends as a result of your focus on getting us up and running quickly with whatever was urgent. I've even received emails from you at 2am (and probably even later than that), telling me some new feature was now operational. You have been very flexible with your time. When we design new data reports for clients I want to test them first, and they often need tweaking, usually because I want to add or modify something, not because there was a design error on your part. So that means testing at night and on weekends, with you standing by to make any modifications I needed. You were always there for us. Thank you.

O’Daniel Designs lead my new firm through the branding, marketing phase with ease! Gina and Leon are a dynamic team of graphic design and web creation professionals. For branding, O’Daniel Designs listened to my goals for a professional and sophisticated image and came up with the perfect match – a logo, tag line, and image I am proud to own. The web design and functionality is beyond my expectations. Leon and Gina are creative, professional, and discussed many options for greater web site presence than I ever could have otherwise accomplished. Because of their work my firm is now on the map – any business will benefit from partnering with the O’Daniel Designs team!
Cindy Nicholson, President - Nicholson Productions
We love our new website that Gina and Leon designed for Nicholson Productions. They are so quick, creative and easy to work with. Everything gets done promptly! We have never been so happy with our site!
NormaJean Jacobs - Real Estate Agent - John L. Scott
I gave Gina and Leon a "bit" of information to work with and asked them to recreate my image and brochures. They have done such an incredible job. There isn't a day that goes by that someone doesn't tell me how great the business cards, brochures, postcards, etc. all look. It has helped me sell more homes and gives a great positive image to potential clients. Not only has O'Daniel Designs created a great look but they also have been able to refer me printers and other people that can have an affect on my business image. Thanks goes out to both of them for their professionalism, speedy turn-around and the help they have given me to help build my business. If you have specific questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at: Normajean Jacobs 425-269-4915

Having utilized O'Daniel Design for two separate businesses now, there is good reason. Gina is able to interpret even the most abstract convoluted directions into the exact product that you are looking for, not only in great time, but at a fair price. I have personally had people seek me out to ask who our designer was from flyers and business cards that she has created. Gina has a gift for creating a product that catches the eye and peoples attention. Isn't that what marketing is all about? I would highly recommend saving yourself time and energy by choosing O'Daniel Designs First!
Pat Sorensen - Manager Branch Operations - CMD 67 - Seattle, WA - Countrywide Home Loans
O'Daniel Designs did a tremendous job on designing marketing materials that fit my needs. I was kept well informed throughout the design process and delivery. Gina and Leon are consumate professionals and it was a pleasure working with them. I would not hesitate to recommend O'Daniel Designs to family or friends. Thanks Gina & Leon!
Nick Metcalf - President - Health Solutions 4U
I have done business with O'Daniel Designs and have found them to be very self Conscientious on the product they create for you. The business branding they have created for me gives my clients the impression that I am everything that a large firm can provide for them. I know that is true but more importantly is now my clients believe it! First impressions are so important in the business community today and many times that comes from printed materials or websites. O'Daniel Designs is the right choice for creating that first impression for you. I will continue working with O'Daniel Designs into the future.

Shannon Carpenter, President - Incredible Spaces, LLC
I would like to say how much I have enjoyed working with you these past few months. The designs that you came up with for my marketing materials and website are FANTASTIC!! I have people comment all the time what great looking fliers, postcards and stationary that I have. They think they truly represent my business. Also, your follow up on things was phenomenal, and I knew every step of the way where we were in the production phases, of my projects. I will continue to use your services and recommend your company to my business associates. Thanks for making me and my business look so Incredible.
Sylvia Stauffer, Director of Marketing - Packaging Technologies and Inspection
O'Daniel Designs has offered great flexibility and creativity in the design of our web page. We are extremely happy with their overnight updates of the site and the instant response to our needs. We get a lot of compliments for the design, layout, color as well as the content and ...... within the site. Great job!
Jay Slater, Webmaster and Assistant Program Director - KYPT FM 96.5
When we began work on 965thepoint.com, one of our biggest concerns was having a reliable host. A radio station's website gets a LOT of hits since we promote it on the air all the time. O'Daniel Designs made getting our site up a snap! Leon came to the radio station and held our hands every step of the way.. He has very soft hands.. Ummmmm.. We're designing our site ourselves, but occasionally need a form or contest interface. O'Daniel Designs takes care of all of the high-end programming that I have no idea about.. But I'm learning!
Ed Mencke, Owner - LinksHomes.com
I came to O'Daniel Designs several months ago, with an assignment to create a brand and build a website to support my real estate business. The team did an exceptional job listening to what I wanted the brand and site to do, and a general idea of what it might look like, and they took off! Within less than 2 weeks, I was presented mock-ups of the graphic art from which to choose, and a detailed road map of their vision of the site. One of the pleasures of working with O'Daniel Designs is that they presented their ideas and were prepared with reasons, yet they were open to my input and took pains to incorporate what I wanted. It was a team effort, and I'm very pleased with the results. Additionally, O'Daniel Designs is responsible for my print advertising, whether it be newspaper, direct mail postcards, or magazine advertising. They are a pleasure to work with, they get the job done ahead of deadlines. Importantly, they understand branding; my message is consistent, whether it's a postcard or the home page of the site. My site hits per month, unique visitor hits per month, and time spent per visit are increasing steadily, which tells me that the promotion of the site and the site itself are doing what I need it to do, which is to inform, to entertain, and most importantly to sell my services. My real estate sales have increased significantly since the site went up and the print campaign began. I have, and will continue to, recommend O'Daniel Designs to other businesses looking for a comprehensive solution to website and graphic arts needs.
Joe Gonsalves, Principal - Technical Communications Plus
Leon, Gina, I was speaking with the chief technical officer of a company called Quadralay out of Austin, Texas today. While we were talking, he said he visited the TC Plus website and is very impressed with it. You guys can take the credit for that. I've included their url for you to visit. Thanks for a job well done.
