Web Site Design Client: Francis Automotive - West Chester, Pennsylvania

Francis Automotive in West Chester, Pennsylvania was one of our first automotive clients. They had a limited budget, but wanted a nice web presence in an industry that is not as sophisticated as it really should be. We listened carefully to their input from members of their staff and within a short period of time, they had a fully functional site with company bio, service information, online appointment scheduling, career center with resume builder online, and all the tools that make a simple website USEFUL. Total build time was less than 2 weeks.

Comments from Client:

"When we were looking to start a website for our shop, it seemed more of a hassle than it was worth to start one up, not to mention outrageously expensive!! Through AMI we came across an advertisement for Auto Web Technologies. At first, I was very skeptical. AutoWeb Tech not only came through to their word, but exceeded any and all expectations that I had of getting our website up and running. A simple phone call was all it took and within two weeks, whammo, we had our website! And a really cool interactive web site at that! We now have on-line scheduling and a complete list of all the services we provide at our shop. More importantly, customers have commented on how cool our website is and we have received several calls from first time customers telling us that they found us on the internet. Many thanks to Auto Web Tech for making such an important step in our business so quick, inexpensive and painless!!!!!

Web Site Design Client: SunPower4U, Inc. - Huntington Beach,

Sunpower4u.com is a provider of alternative energy solutions in Southern California. They specialize in sales and installation of Solar Power systems. They came to us with a limited budget, but wanted a professional online presence with a nice logo. They also wanted the site to tie into their third party estimating/quote system. We had worked with one of their principals once before when he was with another firm in another industry several years prior. It was a fun project and we learned a lot about solar power which was very neat for everyone here.

Comments from Client:

Dear AutoWeb Tech, This is the second time we have worked together and I can't believe that you could do better then the first project, but you did. The Logo and Web Site design you did for us is outstanding. You have made the whole process a joy even if I was not always the easiest to work with. Please know that you will be recommended to all that can use your service and it would be an honor should you chose to use our company as a reference. I look forward to continuing to work with you on hosting our site and helping me improve our future presentation as we grow and change.All the best,

Web Site Design Client: Pacer Data Collection - Port Deposit, MD

Pacer Data Collection is a startup that focuses on data survey/collection and distribution services for the Life Science/Medical Device/Biotech and Consumer markets. They required a web site that would allow both medical practitioners and consumers register to receive confidential surveys provided by a third party. The web site's main objective is to allow user to register themselves and modify their profiles as needed. The site also needed to have a robust backend capabilities that would allow the company to modify site content, export user data, etc.

We decided to really engage the client's vision and make them part of the development team, to some degree. We had them work directly with our project managers and developers with their ideas and concepts. This allowed not only a sense of participation, but ensured that the client would get exactly what they wanted.

Comments from Client:

What was enjoyable...Allowing me total involvement in the project! It was awesome to be part of your process....The turn around time was also incredible.

I could not have asked for a better experience!

The website development was a critical step in the start up phase of my business and the site itself will continue to play an intergral role in key areas of my company. I had a vision for the look and feel of the site and you matched it perfectly! More impprtantly however is that I had certain funtional requirements within the site which your team easily grasped and incorporated into the environment!

Great job guys. I'm looking forward to a continued relationship with AuotWeb Technologies.

Personal Putting Greens in Miller Place, New York does some very interesting work. They design and install personal golf putting greens for the homeowner. THey've been in business since 1990 and are a trusted name in the industry in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania.

We worked with them to get the perfect design just for them and made sure that we programmed their web site with our SmartCMS content management system. The project went smoothly and we really enjoyed this project. A putting green in your backyard? What's not to love?

Web Site Design Client: Shade to Go Products, Inc. - Los Alamitos, California

Shade to Go Products, Inc. in Los Alamitos, California contacted us because they didn't have a website at all and needed an online brochure that could demonstrate the features and benefits of their portable umbrella systems. They are a manufacturer and sell directly to retailers across North America. We worked together with them to create a sensible plan to accomplish these goals. Their website features a flash sidebar that shows the various styles and applications for their product line.

The site also has detailed product profile sections that allow visitors to learn more about their products and request more information. Additional sections of the site include detailed warranty information, company bio, and a press section that offers the various press releases for the products. Total build time was less than 1 month. Even more recently, we added a video demonstration of their products.

Comments from Client:

Dear AutoWeb Technologies,
We wanted to thank you for the superb job you did with our web site. We are a new company with a unique product and needed a web site to tell our story and we needed it in a hurry! You listened to our needs and really delivered! Here are just a few of the comments we’ve had from our representatives:

“Wonderful, I especially like the “Products” page that shows how the product works mechanically. This visual really “separates” you from all others on the market.”

“Made me want to be outside sipping mint juleps!!! Great job.....”

“Wow…very nice, love the music and the movement of the graphics”

“This is great! Gives a comprehensive over-view of all facets of the Shade To Go offering in a quick and easily navigated space.”

As with any business, we are constantly a work in progress. Your flexibility and patience made putting our web site together far less of a chore that we thought it would be. Thanks again. You’re the greatest!

Web Site Design Client: Independent Restaurant and Bar Owners of New Hampshire - Concord, NH

The Independent Restaurant and Bar Owners of New Hampshire came to us with several ideas or "concepts" for what they wanted to do.

They wanted to have a centralized web portal where members of their trade group could stay abreast of the latest developments in their state's legislature, the efforts of the organization's lobbying efforts, and also network a bit with each other. They also desired to have the ability for members to join and pay online as well as each member having their own web page.

Along with those needs and several other tools such as broadcast email capabilities, password protected members-only area, we also embedded an advertising feature where companies can sponsor the site/organization and have their logo displayed.

This was a big project that required attention to detail, technical proficiency, and a tight budget.

Timeline for completion - 2 months.

Comments from Client:

Dear AutoWeb Technologies,

I just wanted to thank you all for the wonderful job you have done on both of my sites (the President ended up hiring us to build a site for his law firm).  The work has been phenomenal and the customer service is above and beyond what one would expect.  You and your staff were always on top of all of our requests and needs and put together a phenomenal site under a tight time constraint.  We very much look forward to working with you on all or our future needs and will not hesitate to recommend you to our friends, colleagues, and clients.  Keep up the great work!

Web Site Design Client: Roger's Kickin' Chicken - Salem, VA

Roger's Kickin Chicken came to us because they have an extraodinary spice recipe for chicken, beef, pork and fish. They had a limited budget and nothing more than a "concept" of how they wanted to market and sell their product. They also needed to develop labels for their spice bottles. We recommended our E-Commerce Pro package for their business.

Timeline for completion - 6 weeks

Comments from Client:

Dear AutoWeb Technologies,

I would like to express my thanks and appreciation to AutoWeb Technologies for the fantastic job that they did with designing and setting up my web page. I called around a bit before I reached them and everyone before him were way out of line with pricing plus they had some negativity about my idea of what I wanted.

One guy tried to talk me out of using credit card setup for my site. How else was I going to get my sales money? Another said I didn't need a web page and that it wouldn't help my business.

Ben Vaughn is a fantastic person to talk to and work with. He makes sure you understand what he is going to do and emails you information constantly to keep you in the loop of whats been done and what's next. This company states they work for the small businesses, I will agree with that statement 100%. Ben let me know everytime if any changes would be more cost effective or not. He advised me what to do or not to do, he gave me choices to choose from and then let me decide which way to proceed.

He even did my label designs for a very small fee and also found a company to print them. He didn't have to go as far as he did. He could have let me do it myself. But he went the extra mile throughout the entire process. I had to have some one (right now) step in an get me a website going. I am so glad it was Auto Web Technologies.

I will not hesitate to give them a HIGH RECOMMENDATION for website design and customer service and satisfaction.

Web Site Design Client: Premier Mortgage Funding - Westminister, MD

Premier Mortgage Funding of Westminister, Maryland came to us a little frustrated, but hopeful that we could create something professional for them that wouldn't cost an "arm and a leg". Well, after several key meetings where we worked together to establish a plan based on their needs and not what we thought they needed, we were able help them. In about 3 weeks, our team created a professional, yet affordable, web presence that had all of the basics you'd find in most brochure type websites.

However, we custom made a mortgage calculator for the site that allows visitors to predetermine what their payment will be each month based on interest rate, loan amount, etc. Additionally, we created a section for first time homebuyers, a complete profile of the various loan products they offer, and a full company bio. We also manage their company email for them, which we also setup and host at our data center.

Comments from Client:

Dear AutoWeb Technologies,
Thanks for all of your help with our e-mail and Web design. After speaking with people all over the country, it was clear who we wanted to do our web design. Everyone we previously spoke with wanted to design our site, but didn't want to listen to our needs. Starting a new business, we were on a limited budget and did not have a web site factored into the equation at all. When we told the other companies they came back with quotes in excess of two thousand dollars and a monthly fee, then wanted more money to change the designs if we wanted to add anything. They were more concerned about making the big ticket sale!!!! After our initial conversation, you did not promise anything and let us know that you would give us a couple of options BASED ON OUR CONVERSATION. You called us back with several options--all of them unique to our situation--which proved to me you listened to what we needed. Communication has been great, you always called me with updates without us having to ask whats going on. You underpromised and overdelivered. Our web site looks great and more importantly it does exactly what we were looking for. Thank you for all of your help.

Web Site Design Client: Sarasota Rentals - Sarasota, Florida

Sarasota Rentals Inc., of Sarasota, Florida came to us as a startup. The concept grew out it's owner, Marc Simons, need to promote his portfolio of rental properties in Southwest Florida. He was tired of paying to have his properties listed with other similar sites. After several meetings, we were able to conceptualize the idea of creating a service oriented website that anyone with property in Southwest Florida could use to list their property and attract renters. So, not only did the site serve it's owner's needs to save money on his end, but it also grew into an another business that he and his staff currently run and profit from. The site has a full backed database that allows anyone to create an account, list their property with photos, descriptions, etc. The site also has a calendar feature that shows the availability of each property in real-time. Visitors can search the site by type of property, proximity to beach/golf, etc. Property owners only pay a fee to list their site. Visitors can browse and secure rentals for free. This site was completed in about 3 months.

Comments from Client:

Autowebtech has been a most professional company to work with. It has been a pleasure doing business with Ben Vaughn and the team. We would have no hesitation in recommending them to other companies. We plan on using them for further projects we have planned. I am amazed at their great feedback of ideas from their obvious past experience. We couldn't recommend them highly enough.

Web Site Design Client: Twice Departed - Dade City, Florida

Twice Departed is actually the title of a book written by Colonel Frank F. Johnson, 82nd Airborne. Mr. Johnson came to us with a great book and some great ideas of how he wanted his novel to reach his target audience. We listened...And several weeks later our team had a working prototype that proved to be exactly what he was looking for. The site has a short, Flash movie as you enter the site with music (Wagner) and various pictures from WWII that are relative to the book as well as readers comments in bold to promote the book. The site has an author bio, book synopsis and a link to the publisher's online bookstore. We were also able to create a section of reader's comments that Colonel Johnson has received over the years.

Comments from Client:

Dear AutoWeb Tech,

I had fussed with the idea of a web page as a vehicle to launch my novel TWICE DEPARTED, into the public eye for nearly 2 years. I tried templates. I had aggravated friends and family. I had developed a blue print but, alas, all I had was some amateurish junk. I can't remember how I got to Auto Web Technologies, but I did. After some extended telephone conversations, I packed everything I had collected into a box and put it into the mail. Within a short time I had an e-mail inviting me to look at the first draft. It was not to my mental blue print at all, it was better, in fact, WONDERFUL! Everything I wanted was there, in a powerful format that I could not have imagined. One of my friends commented, that if he had only seen the web page he would run out and buy the book!

The magic has not ended with the advent of the web page. The AWT staff continue to amaze me by their responsiveness to amending the site as it has developed. Their willingness to fine tune the project and respect for me as a customer, with limited computer competence, is absolutely unique. I wish that most of the other institutions I have to deal with, would study their model.
Thanks Auto Web Technologies!

Dear AutoWeb Technologies,

I usually do not take the time to send a referral, but in your case it is only fitting. I would highly recommend AutoWeb Technologies to anybody looking to produce a quality web site! In the past all of the other sites we have had for Tremellen's Inc. have been half of the quality and much more money. AutoWeb took the initial time to get to know our business and produce an accurate and very informative web site. Your quick response to any of our request's and total customer satisfaction has been awesome. I was totally impressed when you guys went out of your way in Carlisle (collector car show) to take the chance and meet me in person. If any possible clients are looking for an excellent contact, they can feel free to check out our web site and e-mail me.

Thank you

Web Site Design Client: Matrix Plastics - Akron Ohio

Matrix Plastics was an extremely interesting project to work on. They are a family owned business and they specialize in just about anything to do with plastics. If you want to have something made and mass produced to take to market, these are the guys you need to speak with. They are absolute professionals at what they do. We weren't exactly sure how involved this project would be until we received their blueprint in a Fedex envelope. It was a flowchart/blueprint that was 4 feet X 4 feet!!! At first glance, we were a little dazed, but after a few meetings and some careful planning, their "blueprint" became a reality. They have a simple, yet functional site that allows them to tell visitors what they do (in great detail) and visitors can also request a quote for a plastics project right online. Good stuff...

Comments from Client:

Hi Guys,

Ben, you and your team have done a fabulous job with our site. People talk about companies' needing to inspire confidence in their customers. Your people inspire a great deal of it. I hope all your customers are as satisfied as we are, because we are very grateful. You should be extremely proud and know you and your people are steering us in the exact direction we want to go.

What we find most impressive about AutoWeb Tech is the service. When there is a problem with our site, they never stop trying until they find a solution. When we had a crisis involving our domain name, they started trying to resolve the situation immediately. it took time, persistence, expertise, and juggling 3 or 4 Internet administrative bodies (ICANN), but they got the problem solved. The same attention has been paid to additional technical problems we have had.

Recently, AutoWeb updated our web site to give it a cleaner, fresher, look. They did this on their own initiative.

Over the years, we have developed a great deal of trust in AutoWeb Technologies. The excellent service we have received, the attention to detail, their design expertise, and the low cost of their services have made an outstanding value to us.

Web Site Design Client: A Better Answer, Bel Air, Maryland

Have you ever called a doctor's office or a specialist "after hours"? Sure, we all have. Most of the time, we speak to an answering service who relays the message to the Doctor or whomever when they check in. That's exactly what A Better Answer in Bel Air, Maryland does. They started with a handful of customers and a lot of hard work over 25 years ago. They were a vendor for our company for several years. Tech support calls after hours were routed to these guys for us! We sat down with them a few years after we had expanded our operation to handle after hours call volume to discuss beefing up their website that they currently had. They wanted something simple, yet professional. We gave them exactly that with a hint of Flash. The site profiles their services, company background, career opportunities, client references, a monthly newsletter, and a gallery of employee photos as well. We setup and maintain their email for them and also their Search Engine submission program. Great People, Great Company. Lot of fun to work with.

Comments from Client:

Dear AutoWeb Technologies,

Thank you for bring the web structure we needed for our website. Our lack of having an updated website was costing us lost opportunities. I was concerned about our sales effectiveness, but now we have a website which has all the technology tools. The primary objective of AutoWeb Technologies was to develop a website that would address our weakness and establish a framework for an interactive website. AutoWeb Technlogies showed me that our website was completely outdated. They provided a demo template to review, then put together a site that net our needs.
They created a website that gave us instant response plus provided excellent support on line updates and a link to our questionaire. We are pleased with Auto Web Technologies mission to help improve the image of Dietrich & Assoc,Inc.

Web Site Design Client: Monarch Benefit Associates - Southfield, Michigan

Monarch Benefit Associates is a consulting firm that specializes in multiple employer benefit plan compliance. They came to us wanting a clean, professional site that was easy to navigate and direct. Not a lot of bells and whistles...just a good source of information for prospective clients. They are an extraordinarily nice group of clients to work with and we feel truly privileged to be their web services partner.

Comments from Client:

Everyone who has seen our new website reacts the same way, "It makes such a good impression. We didn't know you could do all that!" Remembering our original conversation, that is exactly what I told you our company was trying to accomplish. We wanted it to be straight-forward, easy to navigate, low-keyed and professional. Once we gave AutoWeb our color scheme and site copy, they created exactly what we wanted! Thanks again so very much.

Some additional feedback we received in reference to Monarch's position in the search engines via our automated search engine submission program that comes standard with all our website projects:

IT'S THERE!!!!! - I found Monarch with a search under 'multi-employer health plans' and there it was - number 2 even!!!! ..bigger than life !!!!! Thank you - thank you ...it's perfect!!
