We were invited by Tom Slater, President of The Snorkel Stove Company, a manufacturer of stunningly beautiful wooden hot tubs, to redesign and flesh out his company's website ... in time to meet the upcoming deadline for a long-planned direct mail advertising campaign. With little time to spare, we created an attractive yet entirely usable website that allows the beauty and desirability of the Snorkel hot tubs speak for themselves, with user forums that enable users to communicate with the company and other "tubbers".
Dear Diane:
It was truly a pleasure working with you on the redesign of the web site of The Snorkel
Stove Company. You bring a unique and comprehensive skill set to the task of website
design. I expected a certain level of technical competence, which, with your knowledge
of search engine optimization, usability and other elements, you greatly exceeded. Add
to that your understanding of the marketing aspects of web site design and your artistic
capabilities in page layout and graphics design and you have all the required elements to
produce a great web site. Needless to say, I think you achieved that with Snorkel's site.
Perhaps even more impressive to me than your technical skills is the tenacity and
commitment that you brought to the task in order to get the web site launched to coincide
with the tight deadline of our mail campaign. Having worked with others in this area, I
can honestly say I don't think anyone I've met would have put in the concentrated effort
and long hours that you did so freely and willingly on this project. That kind of
dedication is incredibly rare and for that and everything else I truly thank you.
Sincerely,
Thomas A. Slater, President
The Snorkel Stove Company
