Rick Rome took over the design of my website back in 2010 and since then I have watched my business soar to new heights as I’ve been able to reach a wider group of prospective clients. With knowledge of all the latest software and technology, Rick Rome continually prompts me to stay ahead of my competition by adding neat bells and whistles to my “cyber home”. With his patience and ability to speak “computer for dummies” with me, Rick Rome has A+ customer service.
We have worked with Rick Rome for more than 20 years. He has been an integral part of our business development and success. Rick is incredibly knowledgeable about the ins and outs of web design, yet remains completely accessible to the uninitiated. We recommend Rick Rome and his team wholeheartedly.
The book you are designing made me cry! Yes, I actually dropped a tear of delight. I am humbled by what you have produced.
