Twitter Love from @AmberMcCue
@MartaSpendowska Holy shit your website IS FUCKING BRILLIANCE, PIXELATED. I AM FLOORED.
Twitter Love from @TM
I can't say enough about Marta's work. She got me excited right off the bat. I asked her to look closer into my business model and she respond with some extraordinary insights. Consultation went smoothly and I've never felt so well taken care of.
Bonnie Willis
@MartaSpendowska I LOVE LOVE LOVE your personal site by the way. Great design!
Twitter Love from @annedorko
I am proud to say that Marta Spendowska designed and implemented the website for my campaign for Mayor of Green Bay. She was the perfect fit for me, even without ever having met me before the process began. The results show she really listened and quickly understood exactly, what I was looking for. She utilized colors I wanted, kept the site very clean and user-friendly, and showed real creativity in finding the words that really helped people learn who I am. Honestly, the site immediately elicited compliments from users. In addition to her artistry and technical savvy, Marta was very professional. But it was far from a cold, business-like transaction. She is passionate about her artistry and her work, and I shall always consider myself fortunate to have been referred to her. I would hire her again in a minute!
Amy Kocha | Running For Mayor
Marta is a very creative, professional individual whom I hired more than once already to create my business logos and my website. The results are outstanding. I am highly recommending her. We developed a strong relationship and I've never been happier. Hire her!

You're a dream to work with! Why haven't I worked with you before all the headache I've experienced with other designers!?
Sandy Salinger
I asked Marta, if she could help us to create a living breathing online world for us. She did that and so much more. It created the bands identity and her art became part of the music and who PFV are. She made us a beautiful animated video for our song "static" so simple, but pure. I guess it's in her imagination, her work ethic, and determination to never repeat herself and to eat life before life eats us. I think she's the most talented web artist I've ever seen. For sure she has a fairy soul. We will continue to work with marta on all our future projects.

Marta is a bright new star on the horizon. Some lucky agency better nab her up. She is creative, disciplined, insightful and passionate about design. An absolute pleasure to work with! Wait until the design world gets a load of her!

2.CUSTOM/OTHER DESIGN AND ART SERVICES AND PRODUCTS
Anything custom? PLEASE CONTACT ME BELOW
Or use Quote form. THANK YOU!
HOW
Most projects need to be prepaid 50% upfront, 25% after another quoter of the job was accomplished and final 25% a week before the handing of the files (both print and website). Read the IMPORTANT part under every project and service.
PROCESS GENERALLY
(Generally, the process for print + web work is very similar)
I begin by sending a questionnaire so I can learn more about you, what are your expectations, goals, values, and what type of websites you like.
This is the most important part before we meet online or offline. It will also help you to understand your design request better. After I receive your answers, I start preparing Sitemaps, that are necessary for making sure we nail down the number of pages and it’s potential content. Once you accept it, I keep expanding and build Wireframes that present the final placement of the pieces, so we’re sure we think of everything before even the tiny bit of color hits the design faze. After we agree it’s all well planned, I make myself a giant cup of coffee, I play some music, and off I go to the happy place of the designing faze. The next step is development, and once it’s all ready, I’ll upload the website to your server and hand you all the files.
Within time specified on the proposal (always on time) you are up and running with a gorgeous new website!
In case of the print job —you’re as much happy to have your problem solved!
Design is where science and art break even.
