[CLIENT COMMENTS & TESTIMONIALS]

Some of the sweet notes that came in from my wonderful clients and friends, when I closed Turtle's Web to work for ParaSoft:

"It's been MY pleasure working with you and my best to you in your new, courageous, innovative, wonderfully weird venture!"
~Hah... THAT it is!~

"I AM SO PSYCHED FOR YOU!!!!!! This is fantastic! What an amazing situation! And well deserved. They are getting far more than their money's worth. Mazel Tov!"

"Eileen - you're the greatest!"

"Don't LEAVE ME!!!"
~you're trying to make this easy on me, aren't you?~

~~~~~~~~~~

From one of our best clients, Cynthia Penchina:

"...It's nice to know that I've found someone that I can trust with the most important aspects of my business....my reputation for quality work and excellent service. I am completely appreciative."
~and if I could CLONE Cindy...!~

"I LOVE it!!!!"

"AWESOME!"

"fantastic as usual..."

"Thank you for such a great logo! Your design is great."

"I did look at the Web Page .... it is totally AWESOME ...
you did an excellent job."

"Looks GREAT! As usual, another turtle miracle!"

[FROM VISITORS AND OTHER DESIGNERS]

"dude, WOW, you guys are really incredible, I've been seeing your site on and off for ever, it seems, How do you keep getting soooooooo much work? http://www.wetwerks.com/ was really cool!"
~this one had me grinning all week~

"As an aspiring web designer, I am always looking for others like myself who have chosen to take their talents further.  I was looking up an associates telephone number in the Transwestern phone book (cause that is the one that was closest on the floor) and I said, "what the heck, let me see what the Web Design section shows."  Well, I wrote quite a few site addresses down and was giving them all a try tonight.  Nothing impressed me until I reached yours!!!  The only thing that I can say is WOW!!  I would definitely hire you to create my site just based on the unique colorings of the site as well as its ease of use!  Plus, you are truly and totally creative!!! What talent!  (and I thought I had a pretty good edge on the talent side).  In any case, GREAT WORK!!! I hope that you succeed in your venture.  From what I have seen, you are well on your way to the TOP!"
~BLUSH~

"I visited your site & many of its links and am pretty darned impressed. I love your writing style!"

"I really liked the article on logo design and am real impressed at how you're moving up in the world and becoming famous! Kudos! But I've just got to say that I am just stunned by your artwork. Marvelous! Superlative! Wow! Quite simply, Brava!"
~Turtle bows humbly~

"damn, you're good.... It's tough for me to say that too, 'cos I do this sort of thing for a living as well."
~Praise from my peers means more than you can imagine. Thanks~

"It's always a pleasure to see your latest work, Eileen."

"Well, I visited your caterpillar story and your brother's site.  Thoroughly enjoyed both (I'm listening to "Cairo" as I write this -- great music). The story is great, reminds me of some of the better children's books my daughter and I have read.  I really like your use of color there and on Wetwerks."

"Hi, Turtle. Stunning web site, stunning. Your artwork is sublime - there's a skill I wish I had. I especially liked the imaginarium link."

"The site you're doing for your brother is gorgeous!"

"I enjoyed your site, your work, and the mere fact that it's nice to see other people making a living doing what they love - but on their own terms."
~yessss... and I still give thanks every single day for the possibilities~

"I looked at the professional site first and then went on to the personal. First I was impressed with the crisp and clean feel of the business site. It was a curious blend of high-tech without being cool (unfriendly). The graphics are beautiful and, how do I say this?, and powerful without being macho. So much of the web looks so dark. Secondly, it is clear that you understand the nexus of what the web can do, and what humans want it to do. ... Your site, while technically straightforward, is rich in meaning, sense, and aesthetics. Your site is also a snap to navigate and I'm envious."

"Your work of course is absolutely fantastic, and our designer thinks very highly of you and your work. I am glad to see that there are other designers out there with standards and talent... I am proud to be in the same line of work as you and hope you will allow us to both be inspired by your work, as well as provide inspiration by ours."

"Your Highness,
I've been marveling at the sites in your digital portfolio. Its inspiring and challenging to see the fine work you've done."

"Wow! Really great site! I'm overwhelmed. I want one just like it!"

[visitor to the R3 web site]

"Your site is fabulous."

"I love the theme of your site and all the work you have done. What an amazing spectacle of work!!! "

"YOW! ZING! WOW! I love it!"
~ZOWWIE! Thanks!~

[AWARDS]

Turtle's Web was honored with the C.R.U.M.B.S. COOL Site Award twice!

"Wetwerks has become, in its short life, THE electronica band of the area. Their performance at Edge Fest 98 established their local visibility, and they have been rockin' and squawkin' the town with their techno-driven original sounds since. Their web site is yet another of the sharp-looking sites from local web queen Turtle of Turtle's Web Art and Design." (April 1999)

"Brian Melick, a.k.a. Uduboy, is a local percussionist, educator, author, designer, and from the looks of it, an all-around real interesting (and real busy) guy. The site contains wealth of information about all things Udu, presented handsomely with sharp-looking graphics, well-organized layout, some tasty Javascript animations, and a nice earthy color scheme. Another swell presentation of Turtles Web Art & Design" (November 1999)
~Thanks Jeff Hochberg...you and C.R.U.M.B.S. rules, too!!~

[ABOUT THE PERSONAL WEB SITE]

"The work you present is so good to see I wanted to thank you for the treat. The way i came by your site was during research about Edward Curtis. After reading a chapter about him in a famous photographers book I had to look up stuff, and your drawings and paintings are a great tribute to the photographer's work. Keep your work growing. And thanks again."

"I wanted to say what a wonderful job I think you've done with your web site, not to mention the web design you've done for your clients. Also, I'm a big fan of your Native Indian charcoal drawings you've posted on the web! "

 "I wanted to drop you a quick note to let you know how much I'm digging your work. I finally got around to visiting turtlesweb.com and am mucho impressed, especially by your doodles page. Very very very very nice."

[ABOUT THE AWARD WINNING LIGHTBULB DONE IN FLASH, 1997]

"GO! GO! GO! GO! =) the story is soooo cute...
i enjoyed the page so much."

"Wow!! This is great stuff!"

"your animation with the caterpillar is wonderful!
Good work!"

"i LOVED your caterpillar story using flash! technically it was superb."

"Make some more! :-) "

[ABOUT MY FREELANCING ARTICLE]

"I am a freelance graphic designer in Texas.  I just recently subscribed to a "list apart" and read your section on freelancing.  I just wanted to let you know that I found it very useful and insightful.   I have been managing my own business since April of 98, and have been learning and stressing everyday since then.  And I love it!  A lot of the things you mentioned were the same things that I have gone through almost word for word."

[ABOUT THE THREE HEADED WEBMASTER]

"I just wanted to let you know that I found it very entertaining, well written and useful."
