Fitness
Finders, Inc. needed a redesigned look and an "easier to use"
shopping cart (see
Volusion) to better serve our 25,000 clients and attract new
customers. David Grace of Abacus Web Services was recommended by a
friend as a possible person who would serve us well.
Since I have significant personal technological fears and
deficiencies I approached David with much fear and trepidation. I
should have had no fear. David was easy to work with over the past
year. He is creative, light hearted, a good listener and excellent
in explaining the intricacies of the web. His willingness to learn,
follow my feeble attempts of explaining what I wanted and gentle
encouragement have helped us provide the site we wanted. He even got
me to make some corrections by myself. I am still amazed that I had
the confidence to attempt to make changes, let alone making the
actual corrections.
My wife, Beth, and I recommend David highly. He has the personal
attributes to help you better understand what your web site can do
for you. He has the skills to create for you a state-of-the-art
website that will make you feel good about this important part of
your business.

We
needed a dramatic new look to reflect the equally dramatic growth in
our business and the products/services that we offer . Abacus Web
Services came up with a great design and worked with us through the
whole project to make sure we got everything the way we needed it.
Dealing with David Grace is always a pleasure and we are very
pleased with the results. I
would highly recommend David to anyone looking for web related
services.

From
all the team at IT Care we would like to thank David at Abacus Web services
for the superb job he did on bringing our existing ‘very outdated’ website
into modern times!! There was a lot of work involved as we wanted a totally
new look and David definitely achieved this for us. His ideas were
refreshing and his attention to detail was outstanding.
As we are a Scottish company based in Glasgow there was a lot of emails back
and forth on a daily basis. We also used telephone calls and remote access
sessions where David came onto our computer so we could 'walk' through the
site together to get the job done. David was patient, professional and a
pleasure to work with and certainly kept us focused on the job in hand.
We would have no hesitation on recommending his services. We are delighted
with our new website. Good work David. Thanks again
Francine, Eve and Ralph.

We
used Abacus Web Services to re-design our existing website. David took the
time to understand our needs and offered expert advice to make everything
come out just right. His insight and hard work transformed our site from a
basic "cookie-cutter" website into a compelling and professional looking web
presence. David was reliable, candid and a real pleasure to work with.

most proud. Working with David was refreshing; he made the process painless

David,
Malcolm and I wanted to thank you very much for the work you did for us
creating our new web site. As you know our new restaurant recently opened 6
weeks ago and the website has played a big part in communicating our theme,
our menu and our overall concept to our new customers.
The message that the website sends to our customers is vital to our image
and you worked very closely with us to ensure all the aspects of colors,
logos and strap lines were incorporated.
We have been in Sarasota for only three years and it is very reassuring to
know that we have someone we can work with who has as much care, passion and
attention to detail on a project as we do.
Thanks again and we look forward to working with you in the future to adapt
the site to its full potential.
Cheers

I have had the great pleasure of knowing David Grace for over 9 years
now. When Ann and I decided to start a web business it was not even a
question as to who we would turn to create our website. In fact knowing
David and how hard he works and how committed to his clients was a big
factor in starting a web business because we knew with David on our team,
the huge task of starting a website would not be so overwhelming.
From our first meeting with David, he asked us all kind of questions and
gave us important advice. He brought up things we had not even thought of.
The whole process of creating the website was broken down for us step by
step. He listened to our questions and our concerns. We trusted him and he
did not let us down. Shortly after our website had been launched he met with
us and explained how to read and analyze our monthly web statistics. He was
always available to us by phone or email and always returned our call or
email in a timely manner.
David is dedicated to his clients and to the success of their businesses. I
can not begin to tell you all the incredible things he did for my partner
and me. I feel honored to know someone as honest, dedicated and hardworking
as David Grace. I have been proud to recommend him to others. Not only is he
a dedicated business person but he is a dedicated husband and father. Thanks
David, for all you have done to help start our business and make it grow!

Dear David,
On behalf of the staff and the Board of Directors of the RC&D, I want to
thank you for your fabulous work on the Florida West Coast RC&D website. We
are extremely happy with the results, and have received compliments from our
local partners as well as from other RC&D councils all over the country.
The site reflects our organization beautifully, and has provided us with an
image that we can use in all of our outreach materials. The look is
polished, but friendly and accessible -- just the way we want our
organization to be perceived by the community. The site is also easy to
navigate, and the pages display quickly and are attractive in their design.
Additionally, working with you has been a pleasure. Your professionalism,
technical knowledge, web experience, and friendly manner have made this
project enjoyable and rewarding. You were always open to an exchange of
ideas, and I appreciated that you expressed your opinion and I was able to
benefit from your experience.
Please put us on your referral list as we would be pleased to recommend you
and your company to anyone. We also look forward to working with you on more
web projects as our organization grows.
Thank you so much for your excellent work.
Sincerely,
Britton Miller
Manager of Communications

David Grace, owner of Abacus Web Services, provided me with knowledge,
professionalism, and attention. He listened to exactly what I wanted and
provided it in a speedy manner. The work was done when promised, and the
outcome is so much more than I could have expected. He even managed to teach
me a few things along the way. I would highly recommend David for any an all
of your web design needs.

"It is a pleasure to write this letter for David Grace, owner of Abacus
Web Services. I hired David to develop and establish our company’s web site.
David has exceeded my expectations and delivered a very professional and
efficient site.
I have appreciated David’s dedication and service excellence. David’s
integrity is above reproach. I trust David and can attest to his forthright
character. He is motivated for the best interest of his family, friends and
clients. I would not hesitate in the least to entrust David with any
confidential information and do greatly recommend him and Abacus Web
Services."

"We have worked together since August 2004 and I am always impressed by
the level of service you provide and by your professionalism. Although we
have never met face to face, I know that my company will always be taken
care of and that our website will accurately reflect our stated
requirements.
Abacus Web Services has provided invaluable services in many areas - from
graphic design to interactive web pages, from photo content to
e-newsletter services. I tell everyone I meet that your company does
great website design, construction and maintenance at reasonable prices.
Previously, we tried building our website through do-it-yourself programs
and free-labor from friends. The end result was far from our
expectations. We are very pleased that we chose to use Abacus Web
Services for our new TeaExperience.com website. The new look and
interactivity has boosted visitors and led to increased business.
We currently appear in the top 10 for the Google search "tea magazine."
This time last year we were nowhere to be found for the same Google
search! Our increased visibility is a direct result of the work done by
Abacus Web Service and its ancillary partners.
Please feel free to use our name and contact information as a 'satisfied
customer.' Thank you for making the web work for us."

"In choosing someone to design our web site we had three things in mind
creativity, efficiency, and someone with the ability to get Kelly & Kelley
on the web fast. We found all these attributes in David Grace, Abacus Web
Services. David delivered all this and more. A temporary web site was up and
running in one day! Within three weeks we had a fully loaded custom web
site. We are thrilled with his work and his ability to get the job done with
such great results."

"I would highly recommend David Grace and Abacus to anyone looking for
web related services. Not only did they turnaround a 'rush' job - a complete
website redesign - within a very short time frame but within the budget too.
Almost more importantly, I found David to be extremely efficient, focused
and knowledgeable, and a very good listener - something I find lacking these
days, especially in the burgeoning web-design business! I will continue to
use Abacus Web Services as the need arises."

"One of my first assignments at the Dattoli Cancer Foundation was to
create a website offering multi-faceted information on prostate cancer that
would be helpful, accurate, and user-friendly. Fortunately for us, David
Grace was recommended as the person to do such a job. He is incredibly
knowledgeable in his field, and has created a beautiful, well-designed site
in a timely and professional manner. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with
him, and would be happy to refer Abacus Web Services to others."
Bets Burrell, Patient Programs Director
Dattoli Cancer Foundation

"How good is Abacus? They recently designed an extensive new web site for
our forthcoming medical marketing newspaper and even before it was
officially launched, I received an e-mail from the managing editor of a
national wire service with several extensive web sites. She let me know that
she had checked out the site and it was “beautiful”. She was right. It is
beautiful. Thanks for gaining us national recognition for our new venture,
Abacus."
Dr. Jeffrey Orenstein, Publisher

"Abacus Web Services manage our corporate web sites, shopping carts and our
online web marketing campaigns. We enjoy the quality of service that we
receive from them, whether it is a new inquiry or a challenge they are 100%
dedicated to getting the job done or the challenge resolved. Their
commitment to service makes them a pleasure to deal with and makes running
our business that but easier."
John Jago-Ford, Co-Owner
The British Shoppe

"What Abacus and David Grace did for us is nothing short of miraculous.
That is why we are using them for yet another project.
First, they designed a very nice site for us on time and within the project
budget. Then they exceeded our expectations for customer service and
provided solid web business advice as a bonus.
To make it even better, they are still surprising us. When we needed a
testimonial letter from the CEO of the University of South Florida
Sarasota/Manatee put on our site in a hurry to support a last-minute sales
campaign for one of our publications, David Grace had it up within one hour!
It just doesn’t get any better than this. Frankly, I wish more companies
would be like Abacus."
Jeffrey R. Orenstein, Ph.D., President
Media Performance Group

"David Grace of Abacus Web Services has been an excellent player for our
web site design and maintenance needs. He has increased our traffic by the
clever positioning of key words and has always been prompt in taking care of
our needs.
We can recommend his services to anyone who requires a trustworthy, reliable
and efficient person/company for all types of web site work."
Lalith Guy Paranavitana, Owner

"David Grace at Abacus Web Services is the
best! Since the re-development my web site looks great, images load quickly,
and I'm getting more traffic and sales than ever before!!
I could kiss you - thanks for all your help."
