The Hall of Nice Client Feedback

Finding someone who plays exceptionally well in both the web design and development worlds isn’t easy. After all, just about anyone will claim they can design and build a website. But there is only one restless guy who is as obsessive about the details as I am. And that’s Erik Kraft. Collaborating with him is a pleasure because in addition to making sites look great while coding them to perfection, he brings to each assignment an understanding of the immense value of the client relationship—and a work ethic that is unmatched.

Erik was a wonderful partner and collaborator who listened carefully to our vision and successfully transformed it into a website which presents our program in the most positive and engaging way possible. He created a site that is both visually striking and helpful to its users. We could not be happier with the final product. It has received rave reviews from our entire spectrum of colleagues and clients and we are certain that it will contribute to a rise in our enrollment.

Erik has transformed the University of Minnesota’s ePortfolio website into a clean, highly professional, easy-to-use application within a matter of months. This is a tall order for a website that is used to manage very large amounts of information.

Paul Treuer
Director, Knowledge Management Center, University of Minnesota Duluth

Erik combined an unusual—unmatched in my experience—capacity to understand the needs of our office, to work hard and fast and cheerfully, and to gently guide us to a stylish place we surely wouldn’t have discovered without him. He is the dream web designer for anyone who wants smart and adventurous work.

Ted O’Neill
Dean of College Admissions, The University of Chicago

I’ve worked with a number of designers over the years. Erik is a wonderful and rare find who so expertly and patiently translated our vision and our needs to develop one of the most visually stunning and user-friendly study-abroad Web sites out there. I look forward to many future collaborations.

After Erik developed my website my business increased significantly. And the website continues to attract new customers. I often hear from tourists that they chose to visit my shop because they were so impressed with my website. Erik has continued to be a source of help with advertising, email communications, and various marketing initiatives. He has been consistently great to work with—always offering patient, thoughtful, creative guidance.
