“April is by far one of the best Front End Architects out there. She is very fast, and no matter how badly a website or application looks when I give it to her, she always makes it look nice and pretty. She always has an eye out for user usability, and even if it means jumping a few technical hurdles, she aims to deliver the best user experience possible.”

“OK, maybe April isn’t for everybody. If you’re looking for some junior-level designer in pantyhose who’ll implement exactly what you want and spend the whole time telling you you’re a design genius, go somewhere else. If you want an egotistical snarky art-school snob who won’t listen to your ideas and delivers an overpriced rehash of three hundred other websites, good luck and have fun.

But if you’re looking for truly creative solutions to help you to achieve your goals, from a designer who works hard to understand where you want to go and then tells you what you need in order to best get there, who really and truly understands HOW WEBSITES WORK BEST and how design can either elevate a site or kill it, hire April. She’s smart, funny, creative, a little on the wild side and 100% honest and earnest about her craft. If you’re worrying about the wrong things, she’ll tell you. If you’re missing something important, she’ll tell you that. And she’ll deliver your project on-time, within budget and with integrity.

That’s the kind of designer I want. That’s why I work with April and Made Better Studio. She’s killer – find out (or miss out) for yourself.”
