What can you say about Derek that doesn’t sound like he paid you to say it? I’ve developed three sites now with the technical and creative assistance and guidance of Amphibian and I would not consider going anywhere else for any future project. I know that what I envision in my head is what I will get — and then some — in the finished website. I couldn’t ask for more, from a professional or collaborative aspect — so much so that I only ever recommend one place to anyone requiring website development: Amphibian.

I didn’t really think it was possible to be so excited about a website, but I couldn’t be more thrilled … I love everything about it! It has all the functionality we need, is easy for us to use, but most importantly, it truly gives people a sense of what we do and how we do it. Derek is creative, easy to work with, and created a site that fit our needs even when we really didn’t know what they were. And maybe most importantly, we stayed within our budget. I’d definitely work with Derek again and have been telling everyone I know to hire him.

When Next American City needed a redesign of its site in 2008, we were truly lucky to have hired Amphibian for the job. Derek has developed our website, e-newsletter and other web applications to be both attractive and dynamic on the front-end, and very easy to use on the back-end. Having worked with him for several years, I would recommend him to anyone — having access to someone so efficient, reliable and helpful has been a tremendous asset to our team.

Derek was excellent to work with. He has a unique talent in that he was able to truly capture the spirit of our organization in his design of our website. Upon beginning the project, I knew very little about web design, but Derek was able to patiently walk me through the process and clarify any technical concepts. His people skills are matched only by his exceptional design talent. I would feel confident in recommending Amphibian to any organization.

Derek understood precisely what we wanted on the very first take, perfectly capturing what we had pictured for our new look. He was patient and available as we fine-tuned the site and the entire process was smooth and effective. We were shocked at how quickly he was able to build an attractive, well organized, sophisticated website. We would definitely recommend Amphibian to anyone looking for a new designer.

We are thrilled with our new website, and working with Derek was an absolute pleasure … he understood our mission and was committed to our cause, distilling long-windedness into easier-read nuggets for the web — all without trivializing our message (a rare talent). Derek was very patient and responsive to our needs. I’ve already recommended him to colleagues and hope to work with him again soon on another project.

Director of Fundraising,
Fair Share Housing Center
Amphibian has — without fail — provided me with timely, well thought-out work and advice on at least 3 of my own projects. I’ve referred at least that many clients to Amphibian so that they too could benefit from Derek’s expertise, top-quality work and attention to detail. With Derek, the lines of communication are always open and the work is always on-time.
Jason Rosenberg, Owner
Red Alert Visuals
Over our years of collaboration, Derek has provided superior service and helpful guidance through the maintenance of our old site and the creation of our new one. He captured our vision while building functionality that showcases our work and meets the needs of our audience. And he completed it all on schedule. We couldn’t ask for more (but if we did, we expect he’d deliver).
