Jade Cameron, author of Freedom Rider:
It has been my pleasure to have had Gord create such an eye-catching, distinctive book cover for my upcoming novel "Freedom Rider". I felt he truly enjoyed what he was doing. From just a few ideas that I submitted to him, he came up with some fresh, concrete designs, and accurately developed the vision I desired. He was very perceptive and artistic with each composition he sent to me for approval. I feel honoured to have had him design my first book cover. He is a very gifted graphic artist, and I look forward to having Gord design my covers for future releases.
Besides designing and redesigning www.fruitcake.ca, I’ve designed Nuttier’s WordPress blog theme, brochures, pricelists, business card, rack card and print ads for two magazines.
Moni Schiller for Nuttier Than a Fruitcake:
When I realized that virtually all businesses now must have a website, I had no idea where to turn. Fortunately, Gord was recommended to me by someone I trust, and I was very surprised at how easy he made the whole process. He asked me what I wanted, and as I had no idea, he worked with me on several ideas until I was completely happy with the final result. I can’t recall the number of times people have commented favourably on my site! Basically, Gord is a genius.

The ISCO website was designed and developed to accommodate upgrades without redesigning the core website as the society was able to afford enhancements.
Susan Vary for the Intercultural Society of the Central Okanagan:
Our non-profit society is a small group with a very limited budget and very big, very vague ideas. “Make it easy to use” wasn’t much direction to give Gord, so it was lucky for us that he understood what we would need and want better than we did.
Gord started with free consultation to help us figure out what we wanted, then gave us a proposal (Free! We like free!) that divided our website plans into phases that addressed our urgent needs first and allowed us to stay within budget. He even made suggestions about how our site could allow us to offer services we hadn’t even considered.
Now that we have a professional website, we are able to reach more people to help and have increased credibility with funders, which will make it easier to get further funding.
I’m not a technical person, and had dreaded getting a website operational. Gord’s ability to translate the mysterious parts into language I could understand made the process exciting and enjoyable. Not only did he design and develop our site, he walked us through domain registration, hosting, and even set up our e-mail. He has become our Go To guy for anything that involves the Internet. We’re not just his customers; we’re cared for, and we like it.
For the 2005 Kelowna Regatta website, I had to totally redesign it in order to bring the code upto standards. I had less than two months to design a concept that appealed to all 13 or so members of the board of directors, and then design and coordinate the printing of all print pieces including the 32-page presskit, posters, two brochures and event schedules. In addition to answering to the Regatta board, I dealt directly with many of the featured entertainers.
Scott McKinnon, VP & Land Events Director, Kelowna International Regatta Association:
I just wanted to send you an email expressing my gratitude and thanks for the outstanding job you have been doing for the Regatta committee. I was very impressed with the media kit you put together on such short notice. I believe it will prove to be an important part of the success for this year’s 100th Regatta. You’re great imagination and creativity came through on the design concept for the website and poster.
David Suderman, Director of Media & Marketing Relations, Kelowna International Regatta Association:
The board wants to ensure that you will be rewarded and recognized for the talented work you have produced. The web site is the star of the showcase in promoting Regatta. The posters and media kit are outstanding, the media loved it this evening.
Christina Ferreira Director of Entertainment, Kelowna International Regatta Association:
Thanks. I can't believe how quick you are.
