Alice M. Azure

Mark Rutledge has many creative atributes. I hired him (on the recommendation of a sister-poet) to design a website that would highlight my work as a poet and writer. He went beyond that and created a logo for me as well as pointing out several ways that would enhance my presence as a poet & writer on the web. Before working with Mark, I didn't know much about the in's and out's of getting attention on the web. That didn't bother him. Across the miles from St. Louis to Whitehorse, Yukon Territories, I used my speaker phone as he walked me through the set-up of my neat, new website at http://aliceazure.com. Furthermore, his friendliness and patience gave me confidence to establish a longer-lasting business relationship. How can a person be so lucky?

Mark is an outstanding designer, and possesses an attention to detail that borders on obsession. Versatile and shockingly reliable, he is an asset to any creative team.
