Testimonials


"You are a rockstar!"

Melissa Weddell, Director of Customer Relations, MacWest Marketing


"Hanna,
I want to congratulate and applaud you for the design of the new Getaway magazine. Your attention to color balance and design blend makes the magazine attractive and a desired read. The flow and pacing of the stories, cover copy and art, along with the inside eye catching design components gives the viewer a "pick it up" mandate. It's really a "WOW"...

You should be proud and excited to do this type of outstanding work."

"Moving our Internet Marketing and SEO firm to the Lake Tahoe and Carson City area a year and a half ago, the first thing we did was to analyze the work of the local web designers. We met with Hanna at Highmark Designs as her work spoke for itself, her designs are very search engine and SEO friendly giving her clients a leg up on the competition. We recently hired Hanna to re-design and build our own website and cannot be happier with the results and quality of her work. We will continue to recommend Hanna and Highmark Designs to our clients."

"Wow Hanna, Quick and good.
We are very pleased with the work you did for us for our upcoming event. The PowerPoint presentation and movie, the brochure and the ad came out great. And you worked within our very short time-frame — less than 24 hours from start to finish!

Thank you very, very much for doing this so quickly."

"I can't say enough how much having a great website has done for my business. I feel more confident bidding jobs, knowing that I can send people to a professional website for information and samples of my work. I even got interviewed by TahoeQuarterly recently because they saw my website and wanted to know more about my business.

I probably didn't make Hanna's job very easy but she made the process fast and painless for me by responding instantly and solving problems "on the fly."

I just can't get over that I waited so long with having a website! Please contact me if you need more reasons to act now! (530) 577-9663 or (530) 318-7404"

“I just wanted to take a moment out to tell you how much we all appreciate your hard work during your time here at Cisco Systems. I have only rarely found, in my twenty-plus years in the graphics industry, a person who combines these traits as effectively as you have. You work fast and you work smart. You have raised our expectations. I will have to look long and hard to find your equal. If you ever decide to come back to Cisco, you will find the door wide open.

"Hanna thanks again for the wonderful job on our website. We are very pleased with the outcome, your design is very appealing, the cost was well within reason, and your prompt service was very refreshing.

"Hanna did a fantastic job on our website, and she did it on schedule and under budget. When we first met with Hanna, I asked her how long it would take her to complete the web site, and she told me that she would not be the hold-up on the project, that we would. I didn’t believe her at first, but now that the project is over, it is true. Several times during the development process, she was waiting for feedback from us. From start to finish, it took less than a month to complete the project, and if Hanna had not been waiting for our feedback, it would have been done sooner than that. She did a wonderful job for us, and we will continue to use her in the future on other projects.
Thanks Hanna!"

"My website built by Hanna Bernard, Highmark Designs, is not only profesional but refects my own personal style. It has given me validation as a professional and has allowed my clients, who don't live here at the lake, to find out about me and what we do. My website is an important tool in separating myself from the competition!"

"Thanks for designing my Website. I found the process to be much easier than I had anticipated and enjoyed working with you. People tell me the Website looks good and fits my profile well. I think so, too. I look forward to your continued assistance with this project."

"I want to thank you for what you have done for Bull Construction Services. As more and more of my friends and clients view my website (and business cards too), the one common compliment is “it is outstanding.” They all tease me and say that there is no way that I had anything to do with the design. For me, the compliment is how well you read into what I am thinking and wanting the design to look like. It is truly how amazing you can make something from what little description I gave you. The way you can turn my thoughts into something so eye catching and appealing. I knew, once I viewed a few websites, this was the designer for me.

You upgraded my business 5 notches and in doing so, the crew and me strive to better our product and service. It is a pleasure to work with someone that has both confidence and knowledge of design.

Thank you so much"

“During the Summer of 2004, Highmark Designs was contracted to design a new website for the Tahoe Powerboat Company. During the initial concept phases, Hanna was very attentive to our special requirements for the site. She incorporated a tremendous amount of material in the site, and her design was very effective in displaying such a large amount of information in an easy to read manner.

Hanna's communication skills were very strong and helped to keep the project moving along in an efficient manner. Her strong visual sense enabled her to make design decisions 'on the fly' that also made for extremely efficient work. Hanna created a special 'Used Boats' section for us which accommodates frequent updating in an elegant manner.

The project was brought in under budget, and we have a website to be proud of. We will be using Hanna again very soon for more web site work for our other locations.

It is with great pleasure that I heartily recommend her design services.”
