Jay Thistle and her design team had my book’s website ready to go back in 2009. I was very pleased with what they had produced, but we decided to delay the launch until my book was published - the target date was in 2010. Then my freelance book designer’s computer crashed, he lost all the files and didn’t have any back-ups. To make a long story short, by mid-2017 my book was finally going through the design stage with publication scheduled that October. I contacted Jay about updating the website. As you can imagine, there had been a lot of developments in technology since 2009. Jay and her team were able to update the website so that it could be viewed on cell phones and tablets. I also challenged Jay and her team with some unique requirements, which they worked very hard to incorporate! They generated an impressive, state of the art website that was ready well before the book went to print. Since then Jay and her team have been quick to respond and deploy any updates I have requested. I highly recommend Jay and the team at Thistle Website Design Studio to anyone looking to have a web site.

I really appreciated the fact that Jay worked with my vision of how I wanted my site to look – my experience with web designers is that they often get attached to their own vision and kind of don’t listen. Jay listened! She assisted me with a simple structure as I like to keep costs down and do my own updates – but it gets the job done and attracts customers from quite a distance. In fact I get compliments on how pleasant the site is to navigate. Another plus is the prompt response to questions and requests. All in all, a happy partnership!

"When our website crashed, we googled looking for a website designer and found Thistle Site Design. Jay answered the phone and we immediately knew we had found the right person to help us design a new website. Jay's sense of humour, easygoing personality and creative artistic eye, made our website experience a pure joy. The total opposite of our last website designer experience. We highly recommend Jay, Rich and Jeff at Thistle Site Design. We can't say enough great things about them. Jay would immediately answer our emails, and I enjoyed getting her messages. They would make me grin and I wished we lived closer so we could meet. Our daughter very much appreciated Rich, who is a visual artist and graphic designer, talking to her about her artwork, and passing along his many years of experience and wisdom in the art business."

You have been fun to work with, willing to try out any ideas that I had no matter how crazy they may have seemed.  I had the dream and you made it a reality! You are always so supportive and caring especially with all the ups and downs I had these past months. Also thank you to Rich and Jeff, for all your input on the design and tech side of the team, in making things happen."

"Having just completed the website design and launch process, I very highly recommend Thistle Site Design. Jay and her team were able to quickly and efficiently take some very rudimentary ideas that I had and run with them to create a website that is everything I had hoped for and much, much more and has generated nothing but highly positive feedback. Not only am I extremely satisfied with the end result, but Jay was able to make the process smooth and completely painless. The Thistle Site Design team’s blend of technical expertise and creative genius, together with unparalleled response time and patience, cannot in my opinion be surpassed."
