A Master of Creativity:  Marti Garaughty,     THANK YOU!

 

When I am working with a client on a Feng Shui Consultation, my Energy is focused on THEM.  I want them to be happy with the recommendations, I want them to understand why I am suggesting them, I want them to know that my intent and energy is focused on THEM and THEIR needs.

 

I would estimate that about 35 % of my clients at this time are from REFERRALS from happy clients.  I’ve built a name and a good reputation. 

 

When the thought to have a website built for Laura as a Graduation gift came to me, I initially thought of my webmaster.  He was busy and it didn’t get done.  I’d purchased the domain name of her choice and thought of Marti.  Marti designed my outside blog which so many people loved and I already knew his dedication to making his clients HAPPY with what he is creating.  marti garaughty : The Art Of Marketing You

 

I also knew of his quick responses and his amazing patience.  It didn’t take me long to contact him.  First let me say that Marti has no idea I’m writing this…and although he knows a few of the events which have taken place, that’s for another blog. 

 

Laura, of course, was involved.  I was also involved and we both asked Marti to design a custom site for her.  Again, he is a PLEASURE to work with.  He’d design something, change it around, give us ideas, change it again and send it for review.  We wanted some specific pictures included in the site but they just didn’t FIT the design.

 

Marti is an artist.  He does NOT disappoint.  I know when I am stuck on a particular thing, it’s about all I could think about and from Marti’s emails, I believe he felt the same way.  A late night email confirmed my suspicions:  “I came up with an idea I think you’ll like…will send it soon.”  (I’m paraphrasing here  : ) 

 

There it was, the next morning.  The custom website both Laura and I LOVED.  It is now live if you’d like to see it:  http://www.FengShuiManhattan.com

 

Marti put many hours of time and thought into this…and, whether he believes me or not, the Energy that followed the site going live is a story into itself for another day.

 

I do NOT refer people I haven’t worked with or know someone who has worked with them.  I am careful with referrals because I believe they are a reflection of you.  So when I refer someone, you can just BET I’m happy with their work.  Marti is not just a Blog Artist, Website Designer, or creates Artwork at it’s finest, he’s a dedicated person who truly goes the extra MILES to make his clients happy.  Thank you, Marti.  And I will post those amazing updates including some things you haven’t heard about since that site went LIVE.

 

Http://www.FengShuiManhattan.com is a Marti Garaughty design at it’s best!

 

Laura Cerrano is the proud new owner of one beautiful website.

Sheldon, Marti worked SO hard...I'm sure Laura and I aren't the easiest people to deal with!  Thank you, we're excited.

Debe, I can always tell when Marti has designed something...it has that unmistakable flair to it!  He does rock.

Liz, You are going to be thrilled...if you aren't already!  I swear he puts his heart and soul into his work.  As for the feature person, I was curious myself :)

Sharon, It is SO nice to work with someone who is a pleasure!  Honestly, I haven't had that in a long time and it just flowed.

Miss Helpful Hannah, He did my blog site here on AR...and I love it.  I'm surprised he worked with me after the problems I unknowingly gave him but delighted with how it came out!

Chris, Thank you!  We wanted to incorporate those pictures but they weren't fitting well...I love the design!

Deb, It was a great mix...we are so happy with the site and he's such a pleasure to work with.

Cheryl, I thought it would be a great gift too....but I did ask her if she wanted it.  The site is lovely and I know it will bring her the best--actually it already HAS!

Sally, Thank you....He does some terrific work, all with his own brand of special flair!

Loree, Thank you so much!  We are thrilled with the site and Marti's work and dedication to his clients.

Kris, I love my blog site here....Marti's work.  But it is also SO nice to find someone who really CARES too!

Fernando, He is a true professional.....They are not always easy to find these days.  Thank you for your comment.

Missy, It's very true about Referrals and I work so hard for my clients.  Marti does as well...Many people are short sighted in not going the extra mile(s) in doing everything we can to make our client's happy.

Paddy, Thank you for the suggestion...I hadn't thought of it but (sigh) don't know how to do that--yet!  Maybe I can try to find out.  I thought it would make a nice gift too :)

Carol, You are always so sweet, thank you for your kind comment. Laura needs a new profile picture that fits that classy new site now :)  And this is one of three websites she plans to put up:  One just for Art and one for Personal Training.  Marti is going to be very busy :)

Chris & Stephanie, Thank you for your comment.  I have found that so many people have forgotten what customer service means and it's very short sighted on their part.  What a pleasure to woek with someone who cares about you!

Craig, You put it better then I did, he DOES just "Get it."  Hard to find these days and he did fabulous work.

Integrity Mortgage:  Nice name!  And thank you for the comment.  Hold on to that book mark, if you need a professional he's your man :)

Irene, Thank you for stopping by and WELCOME to Activerain!   It's hard to miss Marti and his amazing posts but if you ever need expert help...you'll know where to go!

Leesa, I thought the SAME thing.....I'm afraid he'll never come up for air :)  But he is a true artist and a wonderful person to work with and a huge Thank you was in order.

Gary, Dedicated he is and wonderful to work with.  I'd hit some stumbling blocks before I went to him and was SO glad I did turn to him for the site.

Joe, Thank you for your comment here.  It was more then wonderful to have Marti do both my blog and this website and very true, some people do remember the old art of wonderful customer service!

Mary, I knew she had been wanting a website and most people only get one.  She will eventually have three--the next two are on her but she sure wouldn't work with anyone else!

Bridget, Good reminder to set up Google Analitics for the site...or Sitemeter perhaps to track it.  Thanks for the comment, I hadn't gotten that far yet :)

Marian, I couldn't agree with you more.  Mine is very, VERY old but comes up high in rankings so that other then updating it, I don't want to mess with it.  This has a cleaner, fresher look and feel.

Marti, You were a PLEASURE to work with...both times.  And you know we will be needing you again.  Your design, you up to date emails and constant contact and ideas were invaluable and we are both thrilled with the website.  Laura will have two more for you and hopefully in the near future! 

William, The man has patience AND CLASS!  Pure genius and we love the site.

Kathy, You won't be disappointed with whatever you have him create...he doesn't allow that from his clients which is why we're so loyal :)

Ben, Thank you for stopping by.  You'll know where to go if you ever need any expert advice in tech stuff.

Russel, I HAVE seen his paintings and I absolutely LOVE them!  His artwork amazes me and I'm trying to get some of it in a new construction project--I've got my fingers crossed!  Thank you for stopping in.

Sandy, Thank you so much, he created a fabulous design and both of us are thrilled!  Things are happening already and I don't believe it's been crawled yet!

Kate, Thank you so much!  It does make a good gift for someone and Marti is one true professional who is so great to work with.

Good Morning Carole and Laura!

WoW, beautiful website and I have to say, everytime I see Laura's art I think it is even more and more beautiful....just stunning. I wish I could afford to buy all of her pieces as I KNOW she is one of the truly up and coming great talents of our time. Her art would be a far better investment than all of the stocks and bonds out there and would add great beauty and energy to any surroundings....

Marti is a am amazing artist and man and I too admire him greatly.....it's wonderful that the three of you could collaborate together to create something so beautiful.

Renee, Thank you.  Both the work and the artist who created it were refreshing--it ws a wonderful experience

Margaret, I wish I had written it that way, the man is a true artist AND a pleasure to work with!.

Georgina, Thank you.  It was so nice to work with someone that CARES about his clients and doesn't stop until they're happy.  Above and beyond service is what we should ALL do.

Jo, Thank you, Laura didn't see your remark but I'll be sure to show her...she'll be thrilled.  And she's gotten custom art "jobs" already that she's thrilled about.  Marti is an absolute pleasure--so nice after the issues I've had!  Thank you, I wasn't expecting it!

Teri, I try to get referrals but it's not always possible...and I've had some of the WORST luck with having my house done.  This was absolutely a wonderful experience so if anyone had ANY doubts, they don't need to!  Marti does a fabulous job/

Hi Carole, what a gorgeous site! Such soothing colors and movement. Marti's work is always so amazing. I love it! Very interesting artwork you offer...I like the 'frog' blessing and 'the pair' with the reflection in the eyeglass. :-)
