Testimonials

Anphira was, on all accounts, a godsend for One Job Per Child. As a fledgling nonprofit, we simply didn't have the funds to pay for an expensive web designer. Gen found us via a Sparked challenge that we posted online, and after looking through her impressive portfolio and strong testimonials from previous clients, I knew the website would be in excellent hands.

When we first spoke, I was blown away by Gen's level of sensitivity. She asked really intelligent questions about what we wanted to achieve with our website - questions that pushed me to concretize the image of our organization in new, unexpected ways. Aside from that, the suggestions Gen gave were always perfectly tailored to what we wanted to present, and what we would be hoping for in terms of attracting a client base. She was always flexible; always imaginative.

Even when issues cropped up that seemed difficult to solve, especially when she didn't have much information to go on, she could invent solutions that were quick and sustainable. I can't emphasize her simultaneous speed and precision enough - usually, when people respond that fast, they sacrifice in terms of quality. I never found that to be the case with Anphira.

Furthermore, even though Gen volunteered to take this project on herself, we were always made to feel like a priority - exactly the same as a company that would have paid top dollar.

Overall, OJPC has had a fantastic experience with Gen and Anphira and wish them the very best.

Gen came to the rescue when our nonprofit was in desperate need of a postcard to announce our new office to the surrounding neighborhood. Not only did Gen need very little guidance, but took the initiative to research our agency, cull information and graphics from our website and put it all together in a concise and artful design. Any changes that needed to be made were done quickly and exactly how I wanted, despite my clumsy way of putting things or forgetting to mention "one other thing". Gen's patience and talent are exceptional!

Gen is absolutely wonderful and talented! Not only is she flexible and open-minded, but she also brings her own unique style and personality to the project. What I greatly appreciate about working with her is her ability to communicate effectively via email without using a phone or other means of communication. She drafts her emails to where they outline everything that is needed to complete the project and doesn’t send multiple emails out requesting different items. She responds back with a time frame and with any possible future ideas, etc. She is extremely talented at the work that she does. She created logos and posters for our upcoming fundraising event and everyone has praised her for her efforts! I’ve worked with numerous graphic design companies in the past, but this experience by far has been my favorite.

Genevieve was an absolute pleasure to work with. Very professional with amazing creativity. She helped our nonprofit organization tremendously by creating a custom theme for us that will definitely capture the hearts and minds of our donors. I truly believe her work will help us become much more successful. She was very friendly and has a huge giving heart. Her work was outstanding and I would/will refer her services to any client I come across needing web design services. Thank you again Gen!

Working with Gen at Anphira has been simple. She is responsive, helpful, extremely professional and, additionally, an amazingly nice person! I’ve worked on several nonprofit websites, and have never felt so comfortable communicating with a developer before. Gen provides explanations in “lay terms” and goes the extra mile to make certain not only do I understand the answer, but I learn the “how to” in the process. In the three days our newly designed site has been live, we’ve gotten many compliments and I know that will continue. Thanks, Gen for helping to make this possible!

I started asking help January 13, 2010 trying to get a website up. I was thinking that considering the amount of IT resources available could have been easy to get it done.

Indeed I came across many resources and talent but nobody had commitment. Everybody explained that was a business investment that would produce donations which would further the cause. I spent everything on the ground, textbooks and teacher training mainly. My asking started with friends and friends of friends which always attached commitment to compensation. I learned to use CSS and tried my best.

You merged the humanity with the professionalism and got this project accomplished. Your intervention is exceptional, my job is to ask help everyday and I guarantee you that commitment is hard to find even when you are able to pay for. I am grateful for the work you accomplished and how your work is directly linked to the children I made promises to.

I know Gen did the heavy lifting on the new site and spent lots of time analyzing the old site. I recognize her sharp mind and I am grateful she decided to commit to this project.

When we first decided Mobile C.A.R.E. Foundation needed a new logo, we weren't exactly sure what we were looking for. Our old one was definitely out-dated, and wasn't very expressive, but when we tried to come up with something new it was way too influenced by what came before. Genevieve narrowed our focus to the essential elements we needed to convey, and then used that to come up with a logo in a completely different direction. What she came up with was sleek, expressive, and totally original. It's just what we were looking for but couldn't articulate. The next time we need design help, Genevieve will be the person I contact.

Genevieve, you totally rock!! This looks so awesome! Thank you for your time and creative energy, and even finding ways to work around my technological shortcomings. You really went the extra mile for us - we really appreciate it.

The final product is so much better than I could have imagined. Thanks again for a wonderful job.

Thank you so much, Genevieve. I can get on with printing our business cards now, and you will save me a lot of hassle in future.

Gen and Anphira came to our rescue when we needed it most. Global Phoenix is a new nonprofit in desparate need of a logo to communicate our philanthropic vision, and Gen provided our dream logo almost on the first take. She is hyper-fast, extremely warm and professional, and she's just aces at design. I've been a digital producer for 16 years, and have learned to spot talent + effeciency in a jiffy. Gen delivers in spades - we can't wait to utilize her talents for many more projects!

Genevieve does excellent graphic design work and graciously stepped up to the plate to help us out – Probono – with a couple projects that we needed help on ASAP.
Her work is very professional and she even stepped in to help finish a project that another volunteer had abandoned. I would highly recommend her for any graphic design project.

I came to Anphira because I needed the services of a professional web developer to set up the Sensory Nutrition Blog Site.

My goal was to find a firm which could customize a blog site to my needs and not make me try to fit into someone else's idea of a desirable blog site.
I needed help sorting through all the possible blog site options and fortunately, that's exactly what I found when working with Anphira.

Additionally, I knew I wanted an entire package of services that were customized, not off the shelf.
Anphira offers both options, so I could pick and choose exactly what I wanted to have.

The staff at Anphira LISTEN to what customers want.

Gen is happy to explain things in "lay terms" I could easily understand, even though obviously as a software engineer, she is fluent in "tech talk" as well.
She really pays close attention to her customer's needs and adjusts her approach to work with them at whatever level they are comfortable at.

When I was nervous about something, she calmed me right down and I was confident knowing she would work with me and together we could sort anything out.

The staff are willing to go above and beyond--for every customer.

Having heard horror stories of others in my field working with some amateurs in website development, I knew I needed a professional and I'm glad I chose Anphira.
