"In order to develop a higher profile, Central Midlands decided to improve our public
outreach efforts. Much of this work was completed internally; however we
had no idea on how to create a professional looking public service
announcement that could be used in a variety of media formats, including
television spots and radio coverage. Having worked previously with 18street
design on various projects, we contacted Jay Wingard and he gladly accepted
our challenge. He not only created a very effective design, but completed
the project in a short time frame. We look forward to working with 18street
design in the future to further enhance our public outreach. "

We were looking for a design company that could clean up and simplify the presentation of our products and services. 18th Street Design did just that.

"Jay Wingard at 18th Street Design is my "across-the-hall-neighbor" and co-tenant in "The Vista". Our front doors face each other so it was almost too easy to consult with him about designing a web-site for my small residential real estate brokerage. Since I did not know Jay personally or professionally I was somewhat apprehensive about such a meeting, especially considering my very limited marketing budget and my uncertainty about how beneficial this might be for a "Lilliputian" business like mine which targets a very specific niche in the market - assisting homeowners trying to sell their property themselves. All my fears were swept away after our first consultation and I immediately knew two things. I was not making a mistake to pursue this and, more importantly, I had chosen the right man for the job. Although Jay pulled no punches he is very approachable and I was impressed with his knowledge and experience in a highly technical field. I am barely computer-literate but I can usually spot a "snow job". I never got this from Jay and he explained every facet to my satisfaction and fielded all my questions patiently. I was so pleased with the end product he and his staff developed from just listening to my explanation about how I wanted this image perceived and the message I wanted to convey. This was a small project for 18th Street Design but I felt like I received the same attention and service as though it were really worthwhile. I can only say what a positive experience this has been for a very small client, so when the time comes to update, improve, or expand my web presence guess where I'm going? Yeah.....across the hall. I recommend you do the same.

"Saluda Hill, Incorporated is a family of companies comprised of five divisions offering a variety of services. Jay Wingard quickly grasped our complex organizational structure and produced a graphically appealing and well organized website that simultaneously markets to each of our target audiences -- not an easy feat. After the initial concept was agreed upon, Jay worked with our marketing department to tweak the site until it was perfect. I have been amazed time and time again at the attention Jay pays to the small details...and his customers. I always felt as though our site was the only one on which he was working. I will definitely use Jay Wingard and 18th Street Designs for any website or new media ventures I undertake in the future and would confidently recommend him to anyone who desires a knock-out web presence."

"As a new mission congregation just getting started, the initial presentation and image of our ministry to the public are critically important to our development and success. How we introduce ourselves, share our vision and plans and provide information that is useful and appealing establishes our identity in our new community, now and in the future. It is true that “first impressions are lasting impressions”.
In our research and search for someone to help design our first web site, it was your web site at 18street.com that attracted us. From our first meeting, it was clear that the Spirit had directed us. Intuitively, you grasped and understood our mission and our vision. And, creatively you guided us in the process of making our vision come alive on the worldwide web. From beginning to end, we were grateful for the almost daily contact as the site was being constructed. We welcomed your advice and recommendations, and we appreciated your patience with our sometimes demanding requests. Throughout the whole process, we felt that you were a partner with us in the early and crucial days and weeks of our new venture. And, I know that this partnership is just beginning. I trust that there will be a growing relationship between 18th Street Design and Community In Christ Lutheran Church. I trust that our two “ministries”, together with the growing networks of which we are a part, will continue to grow in service to our clients, our community and our God. May the peace of the Lord be with you always!"

"Just a note to let you know after working with your company for 10 months now I simply could not be more impressed. I have dealt with a variety of businesses and business people over my 28 year career. 18 Street consistently delivers a product of the highest quality, on time, and within budget.
What has amazed me is your ability to listen to what we want to do, what feel we want for our product, what message we want to convey and then to produce a finished product better than we originally conceived it. This has consistently happened over multiple projects, products and websites. Thanks for delivering each time more than we bargained for at an extremely competitive price and with a great attitude."

"As a photographer, I am concerned with style and image. My photographic style is as important as the image my business presents to my clients. Finding a design professional that can blend my own personal and creative style with the image of my business has not been an easy task. Jay Wingard, of 18th Street Design, has done exactly that. The vision I had in mind for my website was an eclectic mix of my own modern taste and my love of retro-classic photography. The final result was everything I wanted and more. Jay created a modern site with a sleek interface while maintaining a high level of class and elegance.
The end result… a website that said exactly what I wanted it to about me and my business. I met with Jay on several occasions and presented him with examples of work that I admired. I felt Jay listened to my ideas and worked with me rather than telling me what I needed. Due to his creative talent and ability to listen, he produced a website that exceeded my expectations."

"EVR SOLUTIONS is an Omaha, Nebraska sales and marketing company. We proudly represents billion dollar consumer product manufacturers to advance their interest in the extreme value retail channel. We know our business, but we don’t know the first thing about website design. Everyone knows from surfing the web that there are professionally designed websites and poorly designed sites. Professionally designed sites have a terrific feel, communicate clearly and project a great image for the company. Even on a tight budget, we were looking for someone to design a very professional look for our first site.
EVR SOLUTIONS chose 18th Street Design because of a strong reference. Choosing 18th Street Design was one of the best decisions we have ever made. Jay Wingard was wonderful! He did a fabulous job of listening and he took every little suggestion and implemented it perfectly. He never lost patience as our team meticulously fine-tuned the design. We think the final design is great! Furthermore, Jay produced the website on budget. I would highly recommend 18th Street Design to others looking to launch a new website. EVR SOLUTIONS will continue to use 18th Street Design for many years to come."

"What a blessing Jay and his wife Angie have been to me and my family. When my infant daughter was diagnosed with a terminal illness last year, they offered to provide a website to help in our fight to save our daughter. When our lives had been turned up side down, Jay stepped in and designed the most beautiful site for our daughter that has helped pass our message to many others. There are times when we visit the site to read the guest book and know that it is only because of those prayers being lifted, that we made it through another day. Jay's compassion and talent to provide such an effective website has been a true blessing! Thank you Jay! May God bless this firm and continue to guide you with His hand."
