"Alaysia [BLK SKY Designs] was a delight to work with. She was very thorough and patient and made the entire process so easy. I especially appreciated how committed she was to getting the right look for the website, even working through multiple rounds of back and forth feedback on small details. I would work with her again and definitely recommend!

"I could not be happier with the work Alaysia did on my author website. From the very beginning, she made it clear that she wanted me to love the results -- and I do! She is extremely knowledgeable and collaborative. She asked questions and kept me updated every step of the way. She also answered every single one of my questions, letting me know that her suggestions were just that: suggestions based on her expertise. But the overall decision for the direction of the site was all mine. She has an amazing eye for matching a site to the person or brand behind the site, including a lot of details that I never would have thought of on my own. At the end of the design process, she walked me through how to manage my site, explaining why I should do this or that, instead of assuming that I knew these things. She created a site I can be proud of for years to come. I highly recommend her!!!"

"Alaysia is a miracle worker when it comes to web design. Not only did she give me the website of my dreams, but she is always there to provide answers and assistance in keeping it updated. I cannot have asked for a better person to design my website (from scratch!) She took all of my ideas and made them into something beautiful that I am extremely proud to call my website. She is a creative visionary and truly cares about her clients. I will be using her services until the end of time."

"I could not have asked for a better designer for my author website. Alaysia was communicative, thorough, and speedy with everything. Despite us being on different continents, she was always quick to answer my questions and knew exactly the sort of designs I wanted based on my very nebulous ideas. The final product far exceeded my dreams and I'm so pleased with it. Alaysia also gave me brilliant advice about what makes for a good website, and was so patient while we explored different options with the layout. I really enjoyed working with Alaysia and wholeheartedly recommend her."

"Working with Alaysia was a dream--I know, it's a cliché and I'm a writer, shouldn't I be able to do better? But really, from start to finish Alaysia was professional, kind, friendly, and always, always ready to collaborate with me. Yes, sometimes I was picky and sometimes I changed my mind, and Alaysia was always like: let's try that! no problem! I was in excellent hands, my website is getting so many compliments, and I finally feel like I have a web-presence that represents who I am and is both beautiful and functional. This is 100% thanks to Alaysia. It was an honour to work with her. If you know me, reach out with questions."

"I had an awesome experience working with Alaysia Jordan! This was my first time working with a Graphic Designer and at our first meeting I immediately knew that I was in good hands.
I was inspired to create a book blog and Alaysia designed a website, social media template designs, and a logo which she tailored to my needs and style! Alaysia was patient, professional, had great communication skills, was knowledgeable, honest and produces phenomenal work. I’m so grateful for her services and I am beyond happy with how all of my designs came out!"

"Alaysia Jordan is one of the most professional designers I have ever worked with. With top tier artistic talent, a clear cut method of collaboration, & pristine communication, she turned my lackluster website into a stunning, brand-defining resource for my career. She also handled my chaotic schedule and communication style with grace and understanding. I wouldn't use anyone else for web design."

"Working with Alaysia was a smooth and straightforward process. From the phone consultation to communication when designing my logo, Alaysia was also open and receptive. She asked questions that helped me to really determine what I wanted from my logo and she took into account even the smallest of details that I asked for. Throughout the experience, it was very clear that Alaysia valued my creative vision, and I would definitely recommend working with her and her services!"

"I had the pleasure of working with Alaysia to build my author website. To start, she asked me questions for what I hoped the website would feature. I knew that I wanted a place to share recipes, a blog, something that resembled a vision/memory board, and a place to list my author bio and book information. We talked about color schemes, designs I was into, and what I saw as my brand as an author. From there, Alaysia quickly worked her magic, delivering a website better than I envisioned for myself. She asked questions as she nailed down the final details, to make sure that she'd hit the targets, and did she ever! It's vivid, inviting, colorful, and it really feels like my personality on a website. Alaysia was creative and easy to work with. I highly recommend her services and will likely return to her should I need to make any major changes to the site in the future."

"Whew, I was so nervous undertaking the process of creating my website. I knew what I wanted from the beginning, but articulating it is a very hard thing for me, especially when I knew nothing about website creation when I partnered with Alaysia. From the beginning, Alaysia was to the point, merging my limited ideas into full-blown concepts. During the process of creating, it got to the point where she could anticipate my wants and needs, putting them together in an amazing package, and submitting them to me. She never made a decision without consulting me and she was such an amazing cheerleader for me. When you work with Alaysia, she will make sure your vision is coming to life, by crafting an intentionally designed document where you can upload everything you want, images you want to use on your website, pictures of yourself, and words you want on your website. From there, Alaysia takes what you want and then designs the website around it, using the color schemes and aesthetics you chose in your initial conversation with her. I must say that she was the nicest and most professional person I've ever worked with, giving me encouragement through the process and also being extremely congratulatory when good things happened in my life. Please do yourself a favor and partner with Alaysia on designing your website because what she created for me was more than I ever could have asked for and left me in a puddle of happy tears."

"I'm 100% pleased with the website that Alaysia created for me. Her approach and creativity resulted in a beautiful website. She made the process easy and seamless from the initial consultation to the handoff of the completed project. What makes her unique is that she took the time in the beginning to understand my needs, style, concerns, and everything in between. She's amazingly patient and stuck with me when I had a million questions. I highly recommend Alaysia 's work."

"From our initial consultation to the completion of my website, Alaysia listened to what I wanted and helped me to come up with the best way to achieve my design goals. Her quote was detailed, explaining exactly what we'd agreed she would do and the time period for completing the work. I was amazed that she was able to complete my webpage much faster than she'd even quoted me even though I added a couple things after our initial consultation. She was flexible and open to all my suggestions. Her design for my website far exceeded my expectations and I'd wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for website and logo design services." - K.D. Richards

"When I had to create my website, my go to was Alaysia because I've seen her work before. She took fantastic care of me. I hate to plan and I don't know what I want until I know, but Alaysia guided me through the process, asking me all the questions she needed to make a spectacular website for me. She was patient, thorough, funny--which put me at ease because I knew I wasn't easy. The end result is a beautiful site, better than I imagined, one I know my own clients will enjoy and be able to maneuver easily. Alaysia is the web designer you want to go with. Get to it now!"
