5 Stars. On time, within the budget, with 80% increase in page views and all the bells and whistles we asked for. Read complete testimony

It is hard to write a recommendation that will properly capture my enthusiasm for working with Francoise. 5 Stars. On time, within the budget, and with all the bells and whistles we asked for. That’s the service we received from Francoise and Elephant. What a nightmare we threw at her! We brought together 4 distinct sites combining our two magazines, the Shambhala Sun and Bhuddhadharma, under one new brand LionsRoar.com.

We knew that migrating over 7000 articles from various ancient CMS platforms to WordPress would be a big project full of unknowns. We were also concerned about losing our strong Google ranking when switching to a new URL. Not only did we not suffer any decreases in traffic, but we increased unique users by over 50% in the first month. Our page views increased by a whopping 80%. Francoise provided us with impeccable project management. Her knowledge of UX and usability is definitely cutting edge and we achieved the results we were after. We couldn’t be happier with the project and in fact our sister organization is beginning the same process of migrating to WordPress.

I am extremely pleased and grateful for the monumental work of Elephant in the web design and building of DoctorDonato.com.  I have had previous websites, which pale in comparison to this beautiful artwork and technologically advanced website.  It has been LIVE barely two weeks and I have already received many compliments of how elegant and friendly the site is.  In my field as a healthcare provider and international nutritional health consultant, this website creation exceeds the expectation of my clients and professional colleagues!  Fantastic work!  Thank you!

The process of working with Elephant moved us to a whole new level with our online presence. It helped our organization clarify goals and identify what we want to communicate as well as our overall focus. We have received so many compliments and have heard from many people wanting to know who redid the web site for us. There was a genuine combination of professional and creative energy. I really can’t say enough positive things about the project we did with Elephant, both beautiful design and technically excellent.

The experience of working with Elephant on my website was simply fantastic. Francoise is extremely creative, generous, totally professional and a constant delight to work with. I was absolutely thrilled with the results. She is exceptional and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

It has been a delight to work with Elephant, it is not often that one finds a designer and team that has the unique combination of technical expertise, keen artistic skills and the ability to understand client needs.

The Elephant team took time to understand our target market, competitors and website audience to then design something that fit our industry and our requirements very well.  The professional results exceeded our expectations and I have already recommended them to others.

I wanted to update my website and brand to reflect the growing global business I do across North America and China.  The Elephant team provided direction and design that modernized the message and took the site to the next level.  The speed and efficiency in which they worked got my new site online fast and without any technical issues.  I would recommend them to anyone looking to enhance their image or market positioning.

Working with Francoise was a complete pleasure throughout, and I cannot recommend her more highly if you need to create a site that meets the needs of your audience. So, thank you, Francoise, and we look forward to working with you in the future as our site evolves through time!

Since the agency first put up a web site in 1995, we have built it ourselves, but the advent of mobile, tablet, and desktop viewports necessitated outside help, and we engaged the design services of Francoise Guyaux of Elephant, having seen her work on a number of sites we liked because of their elegant and responsive designs. Our goal was to create a site that reflected the core mission of the agency, which is to represent authors who, as our home page says, deepen and expand our understanding and appreciation of the world.

It has been many years since Elephant created my first painting website and I have returned again and again for the professional but at the same time personal approach they offer.  Working with a team of experts in the field, they care for every detail with an eye towards trends that the future will bring.
It quickly became clear that target audience was able to find me easily through a variety of social sites that I had not previously known about, much less considered.
The detailed content on painting tips as well as my image was improved as part of the basic service that was provided.
The end design was beautiful and functional and I have been asked by several people for a referral to the builders of my sites.
All of my expectations were met and exceeded in every way, and the cost was very reasonable for a professional website about painting. I particularly love the how the painting tools are presented in this post about Painting Tools. Another post was a review of paint sprayers and required box to present the best tools, and paint sprayer reviews.

A high quality system was developed to easily present a mix of deck paint products and deck painting tips, with lost of boxes to highlights the deck paint products. you can see the result here in this post about deck paint.

Each of my websites were delivered on time and within my budget.
