testimonials

I ran across Nadine’s website a few years ago when i thought about starting my business. I absolutely fell in love with her work. Her website designs were simple yet fresh and elegant. I knew that I needed a designer that could pretty much do everything and guide me, (being that my daily schedule is so full.) I searched and reviewed other designer’s work and what they offered and I found no comparison. Nadine was amazing to work with. We did all our communication through email and I was amazed at how professional, speedy, patient, and helpful she was. I absolutely love my site and Nadine has given me the confidence that my site will be a success!

I found Nadine extremely easy to work with; she provided the road map I needed to move forward with developing a website concept that I was going to love. She had brilliant suggestions on how to make my website functional, classic and speak to my market. I would strongly recommend Nadine to anyone who is looking to build a professional website.

After a long time client told me that my old web site didn’t reflect how amazing a life coach I was, I knew it was time to update my site. I knew I wanted my new site to be stylish, professional, and user friendly but I didn’t know how to translate those adjectives into an actual site.

I looked at hundreds of sites and Nadine’s were by far the MOST stylish, professional and user friendly. After working a short time with Nadine, I am happy to say that I now have a site which reflects who I truly am and explains clearly how I help people. In the short times its been live I have already started attracting the kind of people and opportunities I used to dream about. I’m someone who helps others achieve their goals and it was a pleasure working with Nadine while she helped me achieve mine!

Being a small business owner there never seems to be enough time in a day to get things done. I was really unhappy with my original website and wanted to change it immediately. A friend recommended I work with Nadine. I was very confused with where I wanted to go with my brand and how to make my website functional and serve the purpose I needed it too. Nadine’s expertise resulted in a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. I found Nadine extremely easy to work with; she provided the road map I needed to move forward with developing a website concept that I was going to love. She had brilliant suggestions on how to make my website functional, classic and speak to my market. I would strongly recommend Nadine to anyone who is looking to build a professional website.

We were very pleased with the work that Curious Light did for us on our website. Before coming to Curious Light, we had lived through a disastrous experience with our previous designer/programmer. We were left with a site that didn’t work and wasn’t making us any money. Nadine’s straightforward communication and experienced design skills brought our website (and our company!) back to life. Sales from our site tripled in the first two weeks alone once our new and improved site went live. Thank you Curious Light!
-Christine Lavin – Fit2bmom

With an exciting new project at hand and no website building experience under our belts, we were anxious to find a designer who would be able to creatively build our presence on the web. Having seen Curious Light’s portfolio through a recommendation by a friend, we instantly thought they would be a good match. We fell in love with Nadine’s first designs! She immediately understood the tone and message of our project and effortlessly guided us through the web building process. Curious Light exceeded our expectations and we are proud to list them as part of our creative team.

Working with Nadine Gilden on bighugllc.com, was a great experience and I’m thrilled with the response the site is getting! Nadine is a great collaborator and provided creative ideas and solutions all along the way. She was also always the ‘voice of calm’ even when things got crazy on my end! Everyone reacts to the site with great enthusiasm and always with a single word: “WOW”. Thank you Nadine! Big Hug!
-Katie Kiyo – Big Hug LLC

Nadine Gilden at Curious Light is fantastic. I had seen several websites that she had designed, so I new the high quality of her work. After I decided to create a website for my gallery, I turned to Nadine with my concepts and needs. She went above and beyond my expectations to create a stylish, yet easily navigable site. I really enjoyed working with her, and could not be happier with the outcome.
-James – James Sansum

Nadine/Curious Light did an excellent job developing our website. She helped coach us through the entire process. She was willing to tell us when we s hould change something, even if it meant she would have to do additional work –which was extremely helpful. Nadine was very timely is responding to all our questions. She truly went above and beyond. I look forward to working with her in the future. I can’t thank Nadine enough for the wonderful job she did on our website!
-Amanda – Excited 2 Learn

Curious Light was recommended to me by a friend who had heard great things about Nadine. I had no prior experience in building a site and immediately felt comfortable and in good hands. I had a very specific direction for my site – “clean and simple.” Nadine listened to me and was able to design and create that while avoiding “boring.” She offered great ideas, cool technology, and lots of patience with my ever changing mind. I am proud to share my new site with customers and confident in recommending Curious Light to friends.
-Sarah Moody – Annie Lane

Publishing my first website began as a daunting task. When I started the process, there seemed to be a lot of moving parts and I wasn’t sure how I was going to get it all together. Nadine was able to guide me through the process – very calmly and professionally advising me every step of the way. She is a great listener and was able to react quickly and surgically to the sometimes vague direction I provided to develop a truly beautiful site that my clients admire. My only regret is coming to the party with my own hosting/domain name provider; using Nadine’s recommended vendors for those services would have made it easier on everyone!
-Andrew M. Gaudin – Gaudin Law

Working with Nadine has been such a pleasure. I was a complete novice when it came to building a website, and she took me through it step by step, helped me feel comfortable with what was being created, and helped put my thoughts into action on the website. In addition, when I had changes or “tweaks,” Nadine handled them with ease, and helped me create a website that reflects the feel I was going for and is easy to navigate. I know that things will come up down the road, and I am thrilled to have Nadine there for me!
-Katie – Nomie Baby

I’m a strictly editorial person. Thankfully, web designer Nadine Gllden patiently led me through the process of transforming the visions in my head into a dynamic website. I found Nadine to be extremely responsive to my ideas throughout the development and construction phases. She was focused and very detail oriented and even helped me integrate a new content management system into the site just a couple of weeks before we launched. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a web designer with vision and very high professional standards.
-Heather Cabot, Founder & Editor-in-Chief – The Well Mom

I had debated updating my website for years. After seeing the great website’s Nadine has created I finally made the decision to move forward. Nadine did a great job of listening to my needs and coming up with creative solutions. I am extremely happy with my site and I’m sure I’ll continue my relationship with Curious Light for years to come!
-Cathi Mingus – Mingus Illustration

Curious Light has created an exceptional looking, user friendly site for our company which far surpassed our previous web presence. Nadine was so accommodating and easy to work with, making it an enjoyable experience. We are delighted with the end product, and feel confident it projects our company image in a manner equal to our standards.
-Eric Lysdahl, Principal designer & President – Eric Lysdahl Incorporated ASID

Working with Nadine is an absolute delight. Not only is she extremely creative and patient but if she didn’t have the solution on hand, she certainly found it in no time. I am thrilled with my site and business cards and no doubt that’s just the start. I look forward to a continued relationship with Curious Light.
Dana – The Good and the Bag

As my business began to grow, I found that I was losing orders because I did not have a user-friendly e-commerce website. My search for a web designer had brought me to several dead-ends before I finally stumbled upon a site designed by Curious Light. With some nervousness, I contacted Nadine to inquire about her services. To my delight, I found that Curious Light could provide me with quality work at affordable prices! I signed on with Nadine and couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome! I found Nadine to be approachable, enjoyable, professional, and more than helpful throughout the entire design process. I gave her creative control and was thrilled with the end product. Nadine was always available (she often returned my e-mails within minutes!!), extremely patient, and good-humored – an absolute pleasure to work with! I will not hesitate to use her for all of my future needs. If you are in need of a web designer, look no further. You have found the best in Nadine and Curious Light!
-Kelly Dunlap, owner – …By Grace Designs

After searching & searching for a web designer, Nadine was my only choice. She has been more like a partner to me, then someone I hired to do a job. She has always made me feel like I was her only client. While I was duly impressed by her technical expertise, I was BLOWN away by her design skills. In the end, she delivered a turn key solution that exceeded all of my expectations.
- Michelle Marx – West Village Kids

In the Spring of 2006 my husband and I were looking for someone to help us re-design our website. We asked around and found that on the Switchboards there was no other designer who was more highly recommended than you! So, I went ahead and contacted you, and I have to say we are SO HAPPY THAT WE DID!!

From start to finish, there were no details left undone, and any question we ever asked was always answered quickly! Your communication put us at ease right away as it was apparent that you were a smart business woman, and good person who was truly interested in what the customers wants and needs were.

As far as the site design, we couldn’t be happier! I visit it almost every day just to see it…and I keep thinking…is that my site…really?? It’s exactly what we wanted! It’s beautiful…you stayed true to our frog logo and helped work in a beautiful design around a clean, professional, user friendly site! We would never hesitate for a second to pass your name onto anyone else…in fact, I was so comfortable with your talent that I recommended you to the Day Camp where I currently work! They are excited and feel lucky to be working with you too! If we ever needed or wanted anything else, be it website related or anything pertaining to any of your other services, we would surely contact YOU first! Thank you so much for making a process that can be confusing and stressful into one that was organized, stress-free, and one of the most friendly business experiences we’ve ever had! Thank you Nadine!
- Kristen & Paul Berge – Coquito Designs

We are extremely pleased with the high quality and value of the services provided by Curious Light. Nadine was hands-on, efficient, and responsive in designing and producing our website. By asking the right questions and interacting with us extensively, she was able to capture exactly what we were hoping for with respect the website’s look, feel and functionality. Not only were we impressed with her creative and graphic abilities, but we also appreciated her attention to detail, as she worked closely with us to fine-tune every feature of the layout and functioning of the site. We enthusiastically recommend Curious Light to others seeking a website designer.

So my partner and I decided to start www.leylove.com and we both were making our dreams a reality by owning our own business. The next step was a daunting one, actually creating the website! We had vague ideas of the look and feel but had no idea where to start. After scouring the web to find someone for the task we stumbled upon website after website that Nadine with Curious Light had created. We contacted Nadine and immediately got started. Nadine was a master at taking our vague ideas and turning them into something concrete and visually stunning. We thank Nadine everyday for the beautiful online store that she created for us. The next business we own will surely have a website created by Nadine!
- Susan Ayers – Leylove

Nadine and Curious Light were fantastic! She guided me through the intimidating task of developing a web site for my business. She exhibited patience with me as I took what had to seem like endless creative turns as I strived to perfect what amounts to the window into my dream. She offered advice every step of the way and exerted sufficient control. She took a portfolio of ideas and created a web site that is both catchy and functional. She was invaluable in helping me realize a lifelong dream and she continues to be a strategic partner in nurturing that dream. I’m eternally grateful!
- Fairoza Brown – Apples and Oranges Kids Clothes

I can’t say enough good things about Nadine and Curious Light. I absolutely LOVE my website!

- Deborah & Laura – Prissy Poofs

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! I put off creating a website for 3 years, because I felt if I couldn’t express my own thoughts correctly, how could someone else figure out exactly what I wanted. Nadine listened to me, made the most helpful suggestions and in a short time, designed the perfect PINK website! She is wonderfully creative and her patience is unrivaled… all my gratitude for making this whole process easier than I could have ever imagined!!!
- Dena Trapani – Pink Public Relations
