Wendy Cheng (Xiaxue), Blogger

I needed a web designer in 2009 because my site, xiaxue.blogspot.com, was previously skinned way back in 2006. The reason why I took so long to get another designer was because I was terrified that my new skin would pale in comparison to my old one.

I needn't have worried though. Because my current Ripplewerks skin is not only better, it increased my hits by 10,000 unique visitors a day!

You'd think that design alone would not improve hits that drastically, but it does! Lionel included a twitter bar, a little twitter speech bubble, an "I like it" button ala Facebook, and a clever iframe within my site so that I can constantly update with photos from my phone. It's all very Web 3.0 or 4.0 or whatever it is right now!

But that's not all that's needed for a great designer. Besides an eye for aesthetics, being good with geeky codes and keeping up with new tech trends, one must also have the passion and efficiency.

Nobody likes to wait a thousand years for their skin.

And that's what's the most impressive about Lionel. As I've been telling everyone around who didn't have enough sense to ask me who designed my new skin: Lionel is so swift, our MSN conversation literally goes like this: "Can you change xxx to xxx? And the archives are wrong, it should be starting from July..."

Most people would say they'd let me know once they do it. Lionel's reply? "Done." Fixed within 1 minute. He doesn't even waste time to reply and say that he's fixing it. And fixed properly too.

It's amazing what we have achieved together on the skin via communicating only through chat programs. We bounced ideas off each other, and despite being the quiet sort of guy, he really listens (sometimes I think he's ignoring my blabber), and totally understood the style I wanted, among other nity grity details. You'd think a straight-laced guy like him would not do pink and princessy well, but I think I unleashed the inner princess in him! HA HA!

I love my skin to death and foresee that in future, I'm gonna have the same problem I did back in 2009. I'd think that whatever new skin I get would definitely pale in comparison. Afterall, it's hard to beat a Ripplewerks skin.

Stay fab Lionel!

Lionel from Ripplewerkz is one of the most professional if not the most professional web designers I have worked with. The first project we worked on together is my personal blog (violetlim.com). At that point, we have actually not met face-to-face, but via our online communication, somehow Ripplewerkz knew exactly what I wanted. I am so impressed by what they have done (check it out, and you will too!), and I absolutely love how they have successfully incorporated all the different elements I wanted into my blog.

Ripplewerkz was also always willing to go the extra mile. When my previous host company lost all my data, they helped me to recover my data, and help me get my blog up and going again with my new host. Since then, we have worked on many other projects together – my company’s new website (lunchactually.com), as well as corporate identities for our new product lines. Ripplewerkz’s service is always prompt and they are always willing to listen to my suggestions and make necessary changes.

In fact, Ripplewerkz’s so good that part of me wants to keep them as Singapore’s best hidden gem. ;) So, if you are looking for a blog or web designer, look no further.

I'm so glad I chosed Ripplewerkz out of the many companies I have requested quotations from. What gave me confidence to take the step out in choosing Ripplewerkz was their close-to-immediate response to my enquiries.

They are professional, fast & responsible and the best thing is that they patiently listen to my needs. Plus Lionel is really one reliable person you can count on and he is passionate about his work. I am so satisfied with the layout of my website and the services RippleWerkz has provided!

Thanks Lionel and Denise! Great working with you guys!
