A Note from Clay...

"Most of my clients are located hundreds, if not thousands of miles away from my office. We work through e-mail and phone and I deliver finished artwork through FTP, FedEx or snail mail. I have over ten years experience working over long distances and I know how to make a client feel comfortable as well as meet their needs despite the lack of face-to-face contact. Clients such as The Discovery Channel and Playboy magazine have enjoyed my attention to detail, prompt response to changes and requests, unmatched turnaround times and quality of deliverables. You can be confident that your project will receive the same high level of service that other clients have been enjoying for years."

Gene Higa
Gene Higa Wedding Photographer Website

Clay,

I wanted to say," thanks again for coming through for me". The new website looks amazing. You have made my vision come alive and more. The website has been up for less than a month and I have had a steam of compliments not only from my peers but from potential clients and even total strangers.

Read this:
"I just wanted to say that I am in awe of your photography skills. You
are amazing. I can only dream of producing this kind of quality. I
love photography and you've inspired me to resume my hobby that I've put
on the shelf only collecting dust. Hopefully, I will get to a level
where a total stranger will send me an e-mail like this. =)"

This has brought my business to a whole new level. Since we have been working together, my goals in getting jobs have be surpassed. The website has gotten me jobs in Spain, Thailand, China, Jamaica, Paris and all over the US. I used to rely on referrals, prints ads, and networking. Now I can honestly say that 90% of the work comes directly from the website. It has also gotten me press, speaking seminars. It has become my store front to the world showcasing my images to draw in a high end client.

Working with you has been nothing but professional. I will continue to refer you again and again.

Here to a life time of a successful working relationship, CHEERS!!!!!!!!

Thanks again

Laura Doyle
Web Site and SEO

Clay's knowledge of how search engines work helped us achieve a steady, increased flow of traffic to the website, and his streamlined design helped convert that traffic into sales. Once we hired Clay, we didn't have to do much else--he took care of the technical, design and merchant transaction part of the process. The new product launch was a success, so investing in the right webmaster is already paying off.

sability Website and Guides. Illustrations for Federal Highway Administration's "Designing Sidewalks and Trails for Access Best Practices Design Guide"

Clay Butler is one of the most creative and organized illustrators I have ever met. I was able to work really well with Clay. We generated ideas for light-hearted illustrations that depict how to safely learn to use a manual or powered wheelchair. He was very respectful of my time and came through with the end product in a timely manner. He also created "Dot" hiking characters that have given our trails accessibility work a common theme. We use the "Dot" characters throughout our trails work.

Adventure Mexican Insurance
Logo Design, Business Marketing Consulting

It was time for my business to finally get a logo - Luckily, Clay's website was the first one I found.

I gave him a call - we brainstormed some loose concepts over the phone - then a few days later he emailed me his draft logos. He nailed it!

I was so happy when I opened the files - conceptually and aesthetically - one of the logos was perfect.After a few minor refinements, the logo was complete. Clay was so easy to work with, and his ability to turn concepts into product is incredible.

I also appreciate all of the helpful hints and tips he has shared with me in regard to print material, web design, and search engine optimization. He really is a wealth of knowledge!

Michael J Downey
CD Cover and Booklet

From the moment I chose Clay for my project, I knew I’d made the right choice. He answered my email with a return phone call within minutes, and throughout the project he was very responsive and accommodating with my deadlines and requests. But the thing that makes Clay the ‘right man for the job,’ is the fact that he is a TRUE ARTIST, not just a graphics designer. He can actually draw! And incorporating his “old-school” talents, with his cutting edge technological saavy, he is simply the best in the area at what he does!

Dear Clay,

Over the past several years we have contracted with no less than half a dozen graphic artists for our various logo/illustration needs and I must say that by far your services have proven to be the most professional.

The speed with which you submitted the initial drafts and final artwork may well have set some kind of industry speed record and you completely understood our needs right from day one.

I will surely recommend your services to our many clients and looking forward to working with you again in the near future.

Yours truly,

Thanks for putting together a beautiful and professional looking cd. Your artwork is just perfect for the project. You were patient with my may revisions and also had the balls to disagree with me on some design decisions and you were of course right.

Hope to talk to you soon for a new project.
Cheers!

I had contacted Clay reqarding a design concept for MySips Tea Company Organic Infusions with little knowledge of the process and much reservation. From our initial coversation, until completion of the project I found Clay an invaluable resouce who was receptive to ideas we had put forth regarding the project. The final product was a successful merger of our inital thoughts and Clay's creativity. I look forward to working with Clay in the future as our business grows, and using the resources and creativity he has provided to a success packaging design.

The Welfare Association for the Development of Afghanistan
Brochure Design and Logo Retouch

Clay Butler was introduced to us by Google. His website is grand and his response to an initial inquiry was almost instantaneous. Clay's professionalism made brochure writing on a short deadline almost a pleasure. The Welfare Association for the Development of Afghanistan (WADAN) is as happy with our new brochure as we were while working closely with Clay from locations in Afghanistan, the UAE and the U.S. while he designed it.

Clay refined the WADAN logo, found the printer, placed the order and even prepaid to speed things up around a holiday to ensure that we met the deadline. And the result is very, very, nice indeed.

All the best,

Jean Kissel
Advisor for The Welfare Association for the Development of Afghanistan (WADAN)

Website, Copywriting, SEO, Logo and Business Cards

Clay's ability to thoroughly "get" what I was after with my new and unique form of exercise was amazing! He instinctively knew just the look I was after and just the words that would create the effect I wanted as well. I didnt know I was getting a copywriter and editor as well as web designer.

Easy to speak to he is equally easy to work with and is at the top of his game intellectually, always a plus. He knows all the tricks and secrets it seems. And can explain it to my barely computer literate self thoroughly. He has a great feel for business, marketing, the web and its myriad of applications and possibilities for YOUR business. Just a pleasure to work with. Thanks so much for the great site and all the help Clay, you're the best.

Want to say thank you again! You really are the best graphic artist I have worked with. Pretty hard to find a guy that stays in contact with you all the time and listens to his clients on what they want their design to be. Not like other artist that take control and never give you what you want, and the quality is great too !! You make a lot of other graphic people look like rookies haha..

book cover illustrationClay Butler didn't merely give me what I asked for, he gave me what I needed--an expertly designed and illustrated book cover with the appropriate tone, style and attitude to attract my desired readership. During the process, he also selectively offered some sage advice that has had a ripple effect on my marketing plans and my thinking. I now feel personally and professionally enriched--by his awesome talents reflected on my book cover as well as the way he conducts business. Thanks Clay. I needed that!

Character Design and Storyboard

Character Design StoryboardWe reviewed Clay's extensive portfolio of previous cartooning work and especially appreciated the emotion he draws forth in his characters and in his captivating use of colors and lines. We were also extremely impressed with the rave reviews Clay's other clients gave him. Due to these factors, plus Clay's own enthusiasm and attentiveness to our needs, we knew we had to hire him to develop the cartooning for our "The Town of Allopath" video. And to say we are glad we did is an understatement. Clay is a pleasure to work with and he knows how to translate needs into powerful results. Mercola.com's "Town of Allopath" presentation has spread rapidly across the Web, many hundreds of thousands have viewed it already, and it has received widespread critical acclaim for its visual power -- for which Clay's exceptional cartooning laid the foundation.

book cover illustrationWe had an idea in mind for our book cover but couldn't find the right illustrator to make it work. Then we found Clay and he got the look just right. We went with a color cover and black and white illustrations for the stories. Clay brought the tales of outrageous auction scams to life! The response to the book has been terrific.

web designI just wanted to thank you for being a true professional. It’s not easy being a small business owner and a new one at that. It’s an almost daily uphill battle trying to find reliable people to work with. From our first conversation you have totally “gotten” it. You took my loose idea for a logo and your execution of it far exceeded my expectations, which is saying a lot.

You have handled everything for us; including business cards, our POP display, letterhead and designing and maintaining our website. We receive so many compliments on our logo and website, which is thrilling. Once again, thank you for all the advice and hard work.

Best,

Nelle Dreyer

Quality Water Treatment
Logo, Website and SEO

web designHi Clay,

Even though its only been a few weeks since our newer web site that you built for us has been up and running we have seen a 20% increase in business. Our on line E-commerce orders have increased by 100% so we do not spend as much time on the phone which gives us more time to focus on projects that will increase our business even more.

You took a extremely difficult web site that was partly homegrown and turned it into the best website that our industry has to offer, we get this compliment from many of our customers and it is obviously making a big difference in our sales… and this is before all the search engines have crawled our site for better rankings. We can’t wait to see even more increase in business after our search engine rankings get better, along with the big saving of not having to pay for search engine pay per click advertising.

It’s great to find a company that will actually take the time to learn our business, which is very complicated and complex, and then design a web presece that will exceed and perform better than our competition.

We have hired several companies in that past and have always had to redo there work do there lack of understanding of our business, which always turned out to be not only a waste of money but a lot of re-design work on the site to make it some what use able after they were finished with it.

We will be hiring you again in the near future to add more product pages to our site.

Thanks again for all the personal attention you gave us and the great job.

Sincerely,
Craig Phillips

logo designWhen searching for competent individuals or companies on the internet to hire for various needs it has been my experience that you need a certain amount of luck. I have had both negative and positive experiences. I would say without question the most positive experience to date was the hiring of Clay Butler to design a new logo for my recently launched website Madwinners.com. A picture says a thousand words. Look at our logo and you will understand why I feel so fortunate to have stumbled across Clay’s portfolio on the net. In just a few short days the perfect logo was created for us. Clay incorporated all of the ideas we gave him for the design, and created a logo that far exceeded my expectations. Thank you Clay for delivering exactly what you promised, a highly marketable character and logo.
