Praise for Phil
"Phil, was exceptional to deal with. He brought ftjco.com up to current code standards and made some excellent suggestions to enhance the site. Honesty, and his dry sense of humor make working, respecting and trusting Phil easy. I'm happy to recommend Phil to anyone for web work, he remains a strategic asset for us." — Ryan Taylor (Fair Trade Jewellery Company)
"If the corporate world adopted Phil's philosophy on work, lunch hours would be expanded to 3 hours, bullshit meetings would turn into outrageously-creative-idea sessions, smoking would be allowed at your desk, and they might actually be able to talk to and sell their products to their desired audiences. But who am I to tell corporate america what to do?" — Ryan Fish (Fish Marketing)
"It was refreshing to work with a developer who clearly understood our requirements for standards-compliant code that needed to integrate with an existing design and code base. Phil Nelson brings to the project a keen ability to solve problems creatively, enthusiasm for the Web and current user experience trends, and the ability to work as part of a cohesive team. He was a pleasure to work with and definitely exceeded our expectations. We wouldn't hesitate to work with him again." — Karen Semone (Element Creative)
"Phil is dedicated to doing this the "right way" and has always done what he can within the constraints of a project budget. He basically lives and breathes software and is always on top of the latest trends and technologies." — Sean Hoyt (DJ Case & Associates)
