I am thrilled to recommend Storytellers' Friend's website services. For five years, I have relied on owner Larry Alexander to design, update, and optimize my websites so they have the best look, are clear and concise, easy to maneuver, and generate the best SEO results. He has now designed three separate websites for me, and who knows how many times I may be a repeat customer. — Tyler R. Tichelaar

This is what Tyler and Guy said about working with Storyteller's Friend.

Larry Alexander is without a doubt the Storyteller's Best Friend. When he did the design and layout for My Marquette, I was impressed by his ability to know the best arrangements for placing the photographs and maps so they had the best visual effect on the page.

Even more impressive was his ability to take my often mediocre photographs and crop, photoshop, or zoom in on them to create a truly artistic work. He was patient and organized throughout—not an easy task with over 300 photographs to place. His personal time and attention and pride in his work resulted in a final product that brought tears to my eyes as I saw the book I had envisioned not only become reality but looking far better than I had initially imagined.

— Tyler R. Tichelaar, author of My Marquette

Larry, I just received the printed copies of my book, Camping in Cloverland with Henry Ford. They look great. I can't tell you enough what a great job you did on the layout and design.

You hit the nail on the head. As a novice, I appreciate all you did to guide me through this process. Again, thanks, will see you again in the future.
