April’s featured designer is Heather at Viva La Violette!
Hi there! My name is Heather ‘Violet’ Jones, and I own and operate Viva la Violette. I started Viva la Violette in 2008, and have since expanded my business to offer unique blog and web design services. I have previously designed for photographers, interior designers, event planners, news reporters, novelists, bloggers and other small business owners. I would define my style as feminine and chic with a touch of whimsy.
Here is what some of her former clients had to say in their nominations.
She listened to my jumbled (and analog) thoughts and wants for my website; and she distilled them into something lovely, and something that I am proud to share with the cyber world. Originally, I wanted to work with her because her style is feminine, colorful and clean, but I soon learned that she also was a breeze to work with. I would return to her anytime for any design work. And even thought we never met in person, I feel as if I’ve made a new friend! — Rae Padulo, Mudstar Ceramics
She is not only talented, but a pleasure to work with. After only a few short emails she was able to translate my ideas into a beautiful design which reflected my personality and my entire blog concept perfectly. She was always available, answered emails promptly and continues to offer her support even after the initial design has been completed. — Piper Chuthakieo, Coconut & Bean
Working with Heather on my blog was a pleasure. Being someone who has no clue of the web world, she was able to translate my vision for my blog that guaranteed my satisfaction. Most importantly, she was very patient and really took the time to listened to what I was looking for. Viva la Violette also offers efficient service and outstanding At first, I was wary about dealing with a designer who wasn’t local, but she reassured me with her attention to detail and her willingness to consider all my request. After going back and forth to determine how to get my blog to 100%, it was like I was talking to a friend and not just someone who was all business.
I would definitely nominate, Heather Jones for Viva La Violette, simply because she is easy to work with and in the end…delivered! — Wendi Cheung, Muse of Mine
I stumbled across Heather through a friend and was instantly impressed with her work. At first I was a little hesitant simply because she has a great feminine style to her work. After speaking to Heather and discussing my thoughts for the website, however, she made me feel at ease and then blew me away with the design she came back with for Zen Search Marketing. It was like she literally reached into my head and pulled out exactly what I was looking for!
As a designer, Heather is easy to work with and isn’t afraid to provide her input to help make your website the best it can be while being completely versatile in her skill set for creating beautiful and functional websites.
I would recommend (and have recommended) Heather to anyone looking to build or improve their own websites and feel she is one of the better designers I have ever come across. — Jeff Loquist, Zen Search Marketing
