My Responsibilities

This was my second client project ever! To build a web site for a local retailer who offered a niche product to Golf Cart owners. This was a huge real world opportunity to develop my skills for design, usability, copy, SEO, and php scripting and database integration and to orchestrate all this into a marketing strategy and sustainable brand.

Over the years, I've worked to build their online brands that have helped significantly expand their markets and products and online revenue.

For several years now, GolfCarGraphics holds a top spot in organic SERP for relevant industry keywords. Since the massive re-design and shopping cart integration last year, the traffic and sales have more than doubled.

  • GolfCarGraphics Launch Date: September 2002
  • PowerSportsWraps Launch Date: January 2008
  • Major Re-Design Launch Date: November 2009

Client Comments

John Sample has been doing web design work for us for over 6 years on both of our online websites. One of my main concerns is that we get web edits and adjustments done to the site as quick as possible. This is an area that James excels, getting the job done and doing it quickly and effectively. Over the many years of doing business with James he has worked diligently to meet our demands in a professional and courteous fashion.

I appreciate his candid web advice when it comes to his making suggestions regarding improving our website traffic and design. As a professional he gives us the direction and advice that we need as business owners who lack web design knowledge. One thing I really appreciate about James is that he is always looking for new ways to improve the look and feel of our websites. He seems to never be satisfied with our results always striving to do better. James has a sincere interest in our business and its success and we can really tell he enjoys helping us get better results.

Over the years we have asked him to make some pretty crazy adjustments in the website appearance and page layout and design. James always seems to be able to figure out the most effective way to get the job done even if the task takes him out of his comfort zone. Most recently he has recreated both of our websites. We are talking about a complete face lift with not only the look but also in function and design. His suggested edits has produced amazing results for both sites in our google ranking and website traffic. We have seen a huge increase in online activity, sales and that's the bottom line.

I would highly recommend James to any company who is looking for a reliable, friendly knowledgeable web designer. Time and again James has proved to be a huge asset to our company.

It has been a pleasure to work with James Sample over the last three years. I've worked with James on both small, quick turnaround time projects and larger efforts.

James gives thoughtful, detailed attention to all efforts, no matter what the size. His designs are fresh and innovative, they stand out in a crowd. He always seems to hit the mark and please the client with his creative insight.

In addition, James is personally a great addition to any team effort, always professional and pleasant. I would whole heartedly recommend James for any position that requires a bright, creative and unique designer.

Love Fine Art Online Paul Leasure LoveFineArt.com

My Responsibilities

Front end Design and Development and re-branding of existing online website ...the business model changed from being a local artist Portfolio to an multiple product online e-commerce application. This needed a vision and strong brand and marketing strategy

Client Comments

When first communicating our vision to James, he kindly helped us to organize our thoughts and ideas in a way that would translate well to the public. Then we started receiving communications with images reflecting our ideas more beautiful and professional than we had imagined them.

Request for changes were met with friendly but well managed expertise. We now enjoy a web site that has a consistent look throughout while offering unique experiences on various pages.

Easy on the eyes, easy to navigate, easy to make a purchase are phrases that come to mind in describing what James created for us in creating LoveFineArt.com.

I would most certainly hire him again. In fact the only reason I would consider not recommending him, is to keep his time open for selfish reasons.

Client Comments

Having worked closely with James Sample over the last three years, I appreciate his innovative web design ideas and have used his creative design talents extensively for my business. He has designed a beautiful logo, web re-design and branding for an online art gallery site we developed, resulting in a user friendly, fresh, updated website.

James is an excellent communicator; always willing to get the perfect look we are aiming for. Often his suggestions and end results far exceeded our original ideas, as he took them to a whole new level. His diligence, creativity and hard work are evidenced in the degree of excellence he achieves in every project we have collaborated on together.
