To whom it may concern:
Over the past 11 years I have been working with Elizabeth Hightower and her company to fully support our website and web-based applications, including a content management system, web store, forms, registrations and a variety of e-commerce needs. Four years ago Elizabeth designed and has since supported our weekly e-newsletter, the Pulse. Most recently, Elizabeth has been developing a web-based project management application to help us better manage our communications projects, vendors, and bidding process. I can say without hesitation or reservation, I've not yet met a person who can meet the level of passion and commitment that Elizabeth has demonstrated consistently over these many years.

I have so enjoyed the working relationship that has developed and truly see Elizabeth as a true partner and team member to our organization. Her tenacity for excellence, perfection and satisfaction are her strongest assets. Once she has been turned loose on a project, you can trust she will do her best to meet or surpass expectations. I can't tell you the number of times that Elizabeth has been approached at the 11th-hour and pulled it off. As anyone in marketing communications knows, "clients" will occasionally come to you with near to impossible deadlines or requests. It is during these critical and intense moments I have been thankful to have had Elizabeth on the team.

I would welcome the opportunity to personally share my experiences with the Hightower Artists Group. Please feel free to contact me at 678-405-2222, or randyr@perimeter.org.

With the greatest amount of appreciation and gratitude,
Randy Renbarger

To whom it may concern,
I would highly recommend Elizabeth Hightower to fill the role of a Web Developer or Web Master. She is not only an extremely talented web developer, she is great about communicating and letting you know where she is on a project at all times. She has handled projects for us from the beginning to the end, and is great at communicating with clients as well. Elizabeth is extremely fast, is a very hard worker and has a great attitude. She is an incredible asset to our company, and has been a joy to work with.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

As a developer who works with the backend programming aspect of web design I have dealt with many web designers over the years who create attractive designs that are nearly impossible to turn into real websites. Elizabeth stands out from the pack. I've worked on many projects with her and she has a phenomenal talent for creating beautiful, functional websites that work superbly with dynamic content. I've seen her designs work well on websites as small as a few pages and also massive projects spanning many domains and thousands of pages. You will be hard pressed to find someone with her talent and experience.

Elizabeth serves a crucial role as a contractual web developer for the North American Mission Board since 1998. One of the biggest benefits we realize with using Elizabeth is versatility. She is extremely strong in designing clean, and elegant web interfaces. She is meticulous with the day-to-day details of content management. Her technical scripting skills give us the ability to integrate more sophisticated functionality into our sites. Her resourcefulness in finding solutions to problems has helped us immensely.

In terms of personality, Elizabeth has a servants heart, and always gives 110%. I would highly recommend Elizabeth to any organization looking for a quality web professional with integrity.

Elizabeth Hightower's ability to capture the elements of creativity needed for our arts school was phenomenal. I was thrilled with the very first example she showed me and we were able to expand upon her framework from that point on.

Elizabeth consistently went to bat for us and went above and beyond what we asked - showing us various methods of producing our site using different web-site techniques and applications.

Her eye for detail is matched by her creativity and technical know-how. That's a rare combination!

To Whom It May Concern,

I am writing this letter of reference on behalf of Elizabeth Hightower of Hightower Artists Group, Inc. Elizabeth has been under contract with the North American Mission Board (NAMB) of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) for almost 7 years. While I have only been managing her contract for the last 3 months, I have found her work to be of consistent high-quality, and always on schedule. Elizabeth does a very professional job, and has done so on many projects critical to the success of NAMB. Elizabeth is tremendously loyal, and hard worker, with a terrific attitude. I would gladly recommend her for any internet related work for which you may be considering her.

To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing to commend Elizabeth Hightower to you as you consider how her skills and abilities can specifically benefit your organization.

Elizabeth served as a contract worker with the North American Mission Board for several years. I was one of the "content originators" she worked with during those years, specifically on the development/maintenance of the www.AnnieArmstrong.com Web site.

As someone who uses the Internet on a daily basis for business matters as well as personal research, I have visited sites that are user-friendly and well-designed and others that I quickly clicked away from because they were confusing.

Elizabeth and I have worked well together in making the Annie Armstrong Web site effective from a user's perspective. As Elizabeth has worked her technical expertise to make the content I write look great on the screen, I have been thoroughly impressed and wonderfully pleased at the quality of work and the attitude in which she serves. She gives excellent attention to detail and is quick to respond to any questions or concerns. She has always met deadlines and expectations and has a strong work ethic.

I highly recommend Elizabeth for consideration in Web design and maintenance. If I ever had the opportunity to work with her again, I would count it a privilege to do so.

Sincerely,

Carmon Keith

Our company, Berkshire Products, Inc., started doing business with the Hightower Artists Group in May of 2000.

Since then Hightower has maintained and done upgrades on the site. All requests have been processed in a very timely fashion and the work has always been very thorough. We would not hesitate to recommend them for your project.
