Also, she kept the process on schedule. Great to work with, and I would strongly recommend to others. ”

Earl G. Hughes, P. E. PTOE, Managing Member, Traffic Signals Plus, PLLC

“I run a small engineering firm located in Cumberland County, VA. I used Blaes Communications to update my website and to create email addresses for each of my employees. I was assisted by Ms.Valarie Blaes in this endeavor and must say that I was very impressed by her professionalism and willingness to work around my busy schedule. I was pleased with the results of Ms. Blaes’ efforts. I feel that the fee was well worth the results and I would recommend Blaes Communications for your needs.”

Elmira Loftin, Director of Operations, Another Touch Massage Therapy

“I hired Valarie Blaes to conceptualize a flyer for the Another Touch Massage annual subscriptions. She was completely professional, yet personable with this project. She explained the expectations upfront and gained an excellent understanding of the target audience and the purpose of the marketing piece. Valarie is detail-oriented and able to develop unique, stand-out items for your marketing campaign. I was totally impressed with the layout and the text of the “lay-away” flyer developed. I actually wanted to purchase one of the annual subscriptions myself. The colors, design, and the concept was beyond what I imagined when the project began. I will certainly contract her again.”

Rick Hughes, Principal / Project Manager, Facilities Bullpen, LLC

“In late summer 2013, I engaged Blaes Communications to begin working with me to develop and launch the website, and it was launched in October. I felt very comfortable and at ease working with Valarie as she was a terrific listener, extremely responsive to my ideas and suggestions, but also quick to offer advice (such as beginning with a mobile device friendly theme format) and the needed technical expertise.

Valarie took the basic content that I provided and ran with it, minimizing the amount of work I had to do for a successful launch and truly making it a user-friendly and efficient process, which was extremely important as client project workload left me very little time to spend on the effort. Valarie also handled all of the interaction with my domain/web hosting provider and the implementation was very smooth.

Since the launch… I have continued to utilize Blaes Communications to handle ongoing maintenance of the site and am 100% pleased with the attention and urgency with which she has handled website matters for my company. I wholeheartedly recommend her services. Thank you (Blaes Communications Consulting, LLC) for the wonderful service supporting my company website!”
