TESTIMONIALS

"It has been great working with Doug Kane and External Experts! My website requires monthly changes and a lot recently because we just moved, and Doug makes all the changes very quickly and efficiently down to every detail I want. I've always used the "make your own" websites before and my professionally done website with External Experts is SUCH an improvement. Clients can tell the difference. Having a website is crucial, especially for small businesses. I know that I personally will choose one business over another if it has a website so I can check it out first before going there. I wouldn't use anyone else but External Experts. Thanks Doug!"

I just love it and can not thank him enough! I would highly recommend External Experts, especially if you are a business owner looking for a website that will really work for your business.

"External Experts was of great assistance when designing and creating my company’s website. With never having to have a website before, Doug Kane was knowledgeable and answered all of my questions. He didn’t hesitate to work within my company’s budget and was very flexible. I was impressed with other websites External Experts had created and I felt comfortable hiring them to design my company’s website. Doug had suggested ideas when we were having trouble deciding on some of the details for the site. He was willing and able to make revisions quickly, which made the process easier. My company had deadlines that we were trying to meet and with Doug’s help the website was completed in a timely manner. Overall the entire website turned out very professional."

“As a small business owner, I must choose how I spend my marketing budget carefully. Radio, TV and printed ads are a fine media outlet, but they target a specific audience and can be cost prohibitive. My current website is 4 yrs old and needed updating. Doug Kane helped me create a new look for Spa Go of WNY. Doug's design and programming talents have lifted the cloak of invisibility off my company! Spa Go is looking forward to a banner year and a long relationship with our go to web guy.”

"We require three things from our technology consultants - creativity, responsiveness and a good sense of humor. On all counts, Doug and External Experts exceeded our expectations. Within our limited budget, External Experts designed a website that looks great and helps us promote our historic preservation company. All that, and service with a smile. We highly recommend External Experts and Doug Kane."

"I had never worked with a professional web designer, I always did the "do it yourself" websites for my fast growing salon, Hair Chateau Inc. Then Doug Kane had mentioned his business, External Experts. After speaking with Doug & hearing all the advantages of having a professional website, I thought I would give it a try! Doug was not only creative in the design of my professional website, but quick & affordable! I couldn't have chosen a better company! One that listened to my needs and stayed within my budget. Not to mention all the new clientele I have gained by having such a great website!"

"After hours of trying to design my own website I finally gave up. I heard of External Experts and contacted Doug Kane. After just a few minutes of talking with him, I decided to leave my site to the professionals and relinquished control. In less than a week we had a tremendous site complete with videos and paypal. Doug has done a wonderful job for us and we are happy to recommend his company for any business - small or large! Thanks Doug!"

"External Experts built a website for my business which began attracting customers within a few days of posting, and continues to account for a significant percentage of my business volume. I'm no internet expert but I'm told that the number of "Key words" within the site text has a great effect on how easily and quickly search engines can find it. External Experts obviously understands this concept very well and knows exactly how to make it work for their customers.

Elaborate websites with flashy graphics, animation, audio Etc. are impressive (and expensive) but do very little as far as attracting customers. My site is very simple and basic and was offered to me at a very competitive cost. A fact that I enjoy relating when I tell my friends and associates about my website is that the very first job I did for a customer who found me through the internet generated enough profit to pay the total cost of the website. In todays electronic age, people like to find goods and services through the internet and will usually look there first. It makes good business sense to make sure they can find you there. Thanks, External Experts for an excellent marketing tool at a great price!"

"I worked with External Experts in designing an affordable high fashion web site for our annual poker run. We are a non profit organization so we needed someone to create something that would be attractive and useful for a cheap price. The team responded quickly and knocked the project out faster than I ever expected. External Experts was able to build us a great design that created tons of hits. Our poker run along with the advertising via the website enabled us to donate thousands to a local charity."

"I have had a lot of experience working with web designers over the years, but my experiences with Doug Kane have surpassed them all. He was so easy to work with. He was creative and easy to communicate with about every aspect of the website design. He took our opinions seriously and was accessible in meeting our needs. Working with Doug was a really rewarding experience that I would commend to others."

"I had been looking for someone to build a first-time web site for my painting company for a few months. I saw what Doug from External Experts did for the 'Western New York Offshore Powerboat Assn' last month (of which I am a member) and "WOW, what a job."

I met Doug at the last 'WYNOPA' monthly meeting and discussed the possibility of him making a web site for PK's Painting. Doug gathered my thoughts and ideas, he asked me questions about my needs for the site and within a week he had a prototype in place for my review. After a few minor changes, he flipped the switch and made it live. I've already gotten some great comments on the site and it's only been up and running for a week. Doug, well done!!! Thank you!"

"Working with Doug at External Experts has been a truly rewarding experience. After discussing our wants, needs, and ideas with Doug, he quickly brought those ideas to life. We wanted our website to look more professional and polished, while still remaining accessible and easy to navigate. Doug’s work speaks for itself. We now have a website that reflects the professionalism of our office, but also highlights the personal attention we provide to our clients.

Overall, I was impressed with how quickly Doug was able to provide a functional preview site. That really helped me visualize the new website design, as well as make minor suggestions, and finalize the process. Doug’s responsiveness, personal attention, and professionalism are a true asset. We could not be happier with his work!"

"Doug Kane did an outstanding job in designing and implementing our main website and also our four sister websites. His artwork and innovations were creative and eye catching and his use of mixed media made for a dramatic impact. Doug also linked us to various social websites to help expand our Internet "foot print" thereby ensuring that we'll remain at the top of the page with all search engines. Doug has both fresh ideas and also familiarity with tried and true concepts that continue to work well. We have been extremely satisfied with his work, his attention to detail, and his quick turn-around time. He is first rate!"

"I first heard about External Experts at the 2007 Buffalo Home & Garden Show. It was my first year as an exhibitor in the show. During the show, I met Doug Kane, the owner of External Experts. After learning that Doug's business is designing websites, I contacted him following the show. I definitely wanted a website, but I wasn't sure that I could afford one. I met with Doug for lunch, and we spent about an hour and a half talking about my website. After giving Doug a general idea of what I was looking for in a website, he went to work. My priorities for the website were that it needed to have a very professional look, it needed to highlight my Beauty of Buffalo Collection TM, and the website needed to be easy to use. A few days later, Doug showed me what he came up with for my website's homepage. I was blown away! It was exactly what I wanted, even though when we met, I wasn't really sure what I wanted.

As soon as my website was finished, I made new business cards with my website address, hoping to increase my exposure. Immediately, I began getting compliments from customers about my website...the look, the layout, how easy it was to move through it, etc. I have had my website for 3 years now, and I'm still getting compliments on it. More importantly, I have made a lot of sales through my website, that I never would have seen otherwise. Over the past three years, I have had External Experts host my website and make any changes that I have needed. I'm still impressed with their professionalism, their ability to hit a deadline, and their customer service. I'm a small business owner, and I have to be selective about how I spend my money. My website has become one of the best investments I have ever made. External Experts has my highest recommendation."

"We first met Doug of External Experts at the 2007 Buffalo Home & Garden Show. Our business was participating in a featured display and Doug had taken the opportunity to introduce himself to us. It couldn’t have been more perfect timing, as we were in desperate need of a new website.

Our company specializes in exterior design and aesthetics are extremely important to us. We wanted a website that we felt confident in directing our target market to and a website that was a true reflection of our design philosophy and professionalism. We were immediately impressed with Doug’s online portfolio and felt secure in utilizing his services.

The development process from start to finish was timely and efficient. All of our needs were met and the end result exceeded our expectations. Doug was easy to communicate with, we knew exactly what we wanted in a website and he brought it to reality for us.

Our presence and search ability online was also a significant priority. Doug took the time to educate us on the behind the scenes technicalities of making our website visible to others. Any technical questions, changes or additions regarding our website were always addressed promptly and professionally. I would recommend External Experts to anyone seeking website design services."

"The History Center of Niagara is very pleased with its new website, created and maintained by Doug Kane and External Experts. Doug was very responsive to our needs during the planning process and offered some great tips to improve functionality and design. We were able to incorporate a scheduling calendar that is used by visitors to prearrange for site visits with students or groups which has improved our communication with teachers and schools. Doug also set up a very user-friendly interface so we can enter our new information and events ourselves, greatly cutting down on the need for time-consuming updates."

"The greatest challenge as a designer has to be interpreting the ideas of customer and then creating their "vision". Doug at External Experts took on that challenge and executed it with precision. His work was professional, artistic, and performed promptly. Our site has only been live for a short time but we are extremely pleased with the results and our customer response has been phenomenal. I would highly recommend External Experts to anyone looking to build or update a website."
