"I spent six months researching web design before discussing the site with Joe. There was a great deal of apprehension on my part in doing the design long-distance, with no face-to-face meetings. Joe put me at great ease with his ability to communicate and understand my concerns, and my apprehension was immediately erased. In reality, when you are able to work with someone as talented and empathetic as Joe Levinger, working at such a distance is truly an advantage. I feel certain that I spent less time on this project than I would have had I chosen a local web designer. I am completely satisfied with the professionalism, artistic ability and the eye for design that Joe and Jewel Tone provided to PEP Filters. You can rest assured that you will be treated with great respect, and that the end product will be all you expected, and then some, when working with Joe."
Mark Pettibon  
President  
PEP Filters

"Joe Levinger did a fantastic job with our website. Joe is great to work with and provided a tremendous amount of guidance which really helped us to move the project along. We spent years discussing the fact that we needed a website but found the project too daunting to undertake. Joe helped us break down and simplify the process, providing some excellent design ideas, and gently prodded us when we needed to move forward. When the website was finally completed, we were thrilled with the finished product and thankful to Joe for making it virtually painless. We look forward to working with Joe and Jewel Tone Designs in the future and would heartily recommend him to anyone contemplating website design services!"

"It has been such a pleasure to work with you on designing a web site for the Elder Service Plan. We are not very computer savvy and were totally unsure how to proceed. We thought it would be an extremely time-consuming and difficult process, but you made it so easy! While it did require some time on our part, you guided us through what we should be doing. It was never overwhelming or complicated. You were extremely clear about very technical issues, gave us most helpful advice, and made it fun. We are so pleased with the finished product. It truly speaks to our customers and articulates our message in a very clear manner. Thank you so much."
Carol Crawford  
Executive Director

"It was truly enjoyable and inspiring to work with you on our Internet website project. We began with the belief that after a few short sessions we'd be up and running. But as we worked our way through the project, you uncovered some complex questions that required long-term vision, and helped us find thoughtful and inspiring solutions. Our sessions on the phone were extremely helpful in moving the project forward, guiding it step-by-step to completion. We have a great many demands on our time, and you were patient and professional while we stubbed our toes, stumbling through the darkness and eventually into the light, ultimately producing our new website. We thank you, and we believe that our website will produce new revenue as well as new opportunities. We look forward to working with you in the future, knowing that you will be able to tweak it and make it grow."

Brent Chettle  
President

"Anyone in business knows that it’s inevitable; you have to have a website. But we knew from the experience of others that it would be a drawn-out ordeal that would require of us extra initiative and expense beyond our original budget. We were wrong. It turned out to be a terrific process in focusing our customer base and the message we wanted to send. Joe added enormous value to this process with his superior listening skills. From notes from just a few meetings he was able to ask the right questions, make the right suggestions and guide us to the right decisions. His prodding helped us complete the project not only within our original budget but ahead of schedule. He is a pleasure to work with and we are confident that he will be able to maintain and grow our site, including our sales, in the future."
Philip S. Lindsay  
President  
R.H. Lindsay Wool Company  


"After several expensive and frustrating in-house attempts to build a website capable of launching our water engineering business into national prominence, we sought the help of an experienced designer. Fortunately for us, we found Jewel Tone Designs. Joe Levinger has been blessed with exactly the right combination of technical expertise and people skills needed to assist us in our quest. He took the time to help us identify our needs and completed the step-by-step process of site construction, giving us the benefit of his experience at each juncture. Plus, he’s so pleasant and easy to work with, I nearly forgot the agony of past experiences. Need a website? There’s no reason to look elsewhere - call Joe."

Michael S. Harvey

"Joe has just completed his second web site to support Enviro Tech's business and is working on a third for our sister company. That should tell you how highly we regard Joe and the service he provides. At the outset, Joe provides you with a worksheet that allows you to pick and choose the features that you want for your web site. You can also choose special features like search engine positioning. Then you choose your own budget and the rest is easy. Joe's artistic talents and programming skills give our web sites the unique and elegant design we were wanting. We often get feedback like 'Great web site; easy to navigate,' posted on our Contact Us page. Plus, there are never any unexpected fees or upcharges with Joe."

"Joe was very easy to work with. He was receptive to our ideas and input, but was quick to point out potential mistakes and offer alternative suggestions regarding the Web site design."
Don English  
President  
Advantage Water Engineering  


"Wincom decided to construct a webpage in 2005. After receiving several recommendations on companies that could build and maintain our webpage, we decided to go with Jewel Tone Designs. Joe Levinger was extremely helpful in the design, layout and content of our webpage. But the real success of a webpage is not its design and publication; success for a business webpage is the amount of potential new business it can generate. Joe is meticulous in monitoring the position of our webpage on the major search engines. After several months, with suggestions made by Joe, we were able to move our site into a top-ten position on these search engines based on keywords we had selected. Our webpage hits increase on a monthly basis. The service provided by Jewel Tone Designs has become an important marketing tool for us. We anticipate additional use of Jewel Tone Designs as our business continues to grow."
William N. Matulewicz  
President  
Wincom, Inc.

Daryl Funston  
Executive Vice President

"Joe was tremendous in converting our marketing vision into a web-page reality. He responded promptly to our requests, gave us options where compromises were necessary, and helped us complete the project on time and on budget. We now have a new web site which I believe to be at least as good as that of the majors in our marketplace, and in the short time since its launch date the site has already generated a number of leads for us. We couldn't be happier with the final product, or with Joe's work."
Colin Frayne  
Technical Director  
The Metro Group  


"Joe was very helpful in assisting us in creating our website. Our new website is much more engaging than our original one."
