Graphic DesignerJon Aley

HELLO !

My name is Jon Aley and I am graphic designer, web builderand motion graphics specialist ready to help you get your message out into the world as clearly and effectively as possible.

JEANNETTE STOJCEVSKI/COMMITTED FITNESS: Jon completely revamped my personal training website, and I absolutely love the results. Jon is extremely detail oriented and very in tune with his clients needs. He is willing to go above and beyond to create a beautiful site that you will love. Jon has also helped me with creative ideas and other business related ideas. He is easily one of the most multi-faceted people I have ever met.

NEAL HEFFERREN/REAL ESTATE COPYWRITER LLC: It's pretty rare to find a creative person who also brings in-depth technical skills and consistent professionalism to the table, but Jon turned out to be that rare find. I gave him some broad-based ideas about what I wanted for my company's website, he quickly made my thoughts concrete, and was extraordinarily responsive to all of my questions and requests. For any website design work, Jon is always my first choice. Oh, and he plays a mean guitar...

DR. DONALD BREYER/THE SWEETBRIAR TEXTILE COLLECTION: I initially hired Jon to do some basic organization of my textile collection and to create a visual database for historical and insurance purposes. Thanks to his other abilities as a photographer and web builder, we embarked on a multi-year project which culminated in not only a gorgeous 600 page online website/catalog which the textile community has been in awe of, but simultaneously, thanks to the comfort level and dialogue that was created in the process, the physical collection itself has become refined and bloomed brilliantly into a world class presentation online.

NATALIE DAMSCHRODER- NEW PATIENTS INC: Jon Aley is a smart, responsive designer who has been a pleasure to have on our team. His dedication to a quality result that exceeds your expectations is one of his best traits, along with solid communication. He takes direction well and is skilled at turning a sketchy concept into a shining project that requires only a little adjustment to fulfill your vision.

GENA SCHWAM/AMAZON.COM: As colleagues in similar fields, I hired Jon as a consultant to help me get an overview of working with private art collecting clients and to teach me the basics of database design and program workflow for such multi-faceted clientele. His patience and down to Earth way of communicating made the learning curve a cake walk and I was able to navigate my new client with comfort, confidence and ease.
