What People Say

  • Courtney Nestor

    Courtney

    Thauna is an amazing, creative, and patient web designer. I had a very broad vision about my website and felt like I had no idea how it was going to all come together. Thauna was able to listen to my ideas, collaborate, and make amazing suggestions both with branding, design, and functionality all in line with my vision. I would and will go back to her for any future web design help!!

  • Laura Paris

    Laura

    Working with Thauna at Bellano far exceeded my expectations. I was very impressed by her timeline and how she stuck to it. I had no idea what I was doing and felt very taking care of and guided through the whole process, including third-party integrations, of which I had many. I think she is a very talented designer, very professional, yet very down-to-earth and personal – a really nice combination. I felt like it was easy to give input or feedback without stepping on her toes, plus easy to let her do what she does best and not be part of it at all! She emphasizes teaching people how to do things themselves to maintain their site which is very valuable. My experience was top-notch and I will continue to use her services in the future.

  • Mrs. Russell’s Room

    Tamara

    When I began this process, I knew that the branding I was getting was going to be what would define me going forward. I was looking for a professional designer that could help me to dream big and create a blog space that would be beautiful. She helped me to figure out what I loved and then worked with me to exceed the expectations that I had for the end result. As a teacher-author, I wanted something that was youthful and fun, but professional to match the content I share. I am so grateful that I chose Bellano Web Design to do my blog! Going from Blogger to WordPress was daunting, and even after my design was up Thauna held my hand as I learned the ropes and gave me so many tools to acclimate to my new blog. If you are a blogger doing a conversion from Blogger to WordPress, consider Bellano! Thauna is absolutely the best and she cares so much about not only the look of the blog, but the comfort of the blogger in assimilating to the changes and becoming independent with the new site. Thank you so much! Thank you Thauna! My blog is the happiest space on Earth for me and I LOVE you for making it so gorgeous!

    Thauna understood exactly what I wanted and made it happen fast. She listened to what I wanted and delivered in every way. She created the perfect site for me now--with room to adjust and expand in the future. I heartily recommend Bellano Studios.

  • Fun in First

    Jodi

    I put off switching from Blogger to Wordpress for over a year because I was so nervous about the learning curve. After hearing numerous times how great Bellano Web Studio was to work with, I went ahead and decided to take the plunge. I could not be happier with my decision. Thauna was so patient and helpful with every step of the process. She made the switch over painless. She truly listened to what I wanted in a website and made it happen. My site looks and feels so professional now. I cannot recommend Bellano Web Studio enough. She is amazing!

  • Happy Teacher Happy Kids

    Diana

    Thank you for everything!!! I love the new site so much- it makes  me smile every time I see it! And I so appreciate your kindness & expert assistance. I was a little nervous to start this project & you made me feel so comfortable through it all!

  • Penelope Redmont

    Penelope Redmont

    Hi Thauna -- the site is wonderful, I'm completely thrilled with it!!  Thank you for your hard work. I'm enjoying the new site hugely.

  • Mrs. Wills Kindergarten

    Deedee - Mrs. Wills Kindergarten

    I have heard horror stories of bloggers who have switched platforms {from Blogger to WordPress}. Bellano made this process painless! Thauna kept me informed and supported me during this transition. I highly recommend her!!!

  • Hypothyroid Chef

    Ginny - Hypothyroid Chef

    Thauna was like the fairy godmother of my WordPress site. Not only did she wave her magic wand and make my wildest website dreams come true, she did it all with a healthy dose of wisdom, humor, nurturing, and love-- that’s the coach and mom side of her. The other side of Thauna is the artist, whose medium comes in the form of digital pixels. She created my site with style, insight, competence, and passion. I'm so glad I found her.

  • Fabulous After 40

    Deborah Boland - Fabulous After 40

    I couldn't be more thrilled with Thauna and the stellar job she did on my website! I searched high and low for a designer like this and thought I was asking for the impossible. Thauna exceeded my expectations with her knowledge, creativity, patience and speed. She was attentive from start to finish and working with her was a joy. I can't recommend Thauna enough. She's the real deal!

  • A Merry Feast

    Heather - A Merry Feast

    Thauna from Bellano Web Studio has helped me create my beautiful new home-sweet-internet-home. I can’t thank her enough. She is a fellow Italophile, and had some wonderful ideas while we were brainstorming together. It’s been kind of overwhelming and a wee bit scary to move and re-brand the blog- and Thauna handled all of my questions and changes and ramblings with such kindness and patience!

  • Planner’s Lounge

    Debbie Orwat - Planner's Lounge

    I have worked with Bellano Web Studio on various revisions and update to my website over the past 3 years. Every time, Thauna has been great to work with, within my price range, and super fast. I am amazed at how quickly she can turn around my website updates. She is always quick to answer questions and make changes. I really enjoy working with her and highly recommend her!

  • First Grade Blue Skies

    Jennifer - First Grade Blue Skies

    Bellano was A++ to work with and handled the changeover to Wordpress completely! She did a phenomenal job and helped me during every step of the process. Highly recommend!!

  • Gluten-Free Baking

    Elizabeth - Gluten-Free Baking

    For years, my website was a nightmare. Thanks to Bellano, now it's a dream!

    I worked with Thauna on a complete redesign of my site. Not only was it painless, it was fun. Imagine that!

    If you want a designer who quickly responds to questions (and I asked a lot of questions!), creates sites that are beautiful, and sticks to a deadline, Bellano is for you!

  • Art of Gluten-Free Baking

    Jeanne - Art of Gluten-Free Baking

    Working with Thauna at Bellano Web Studio was a dream--and I don't say that lightly. She is easy to work with, and was so responsive to my questions, needs, and ideas. I am amazed at how effortless this process seemed to be--which is all due to Thauna's skill, professionalism, and creativity. I am thrilled with my website redesign and I get compliments on it all the time. I highly recommend working with her!

  • Respro Food Safety

    Hollie - Respro Food Safety (and formerly Red Barn)

    Thauna did an absolutely wonderful job on two custom-designed sites for me, one for a food safety consultancy company and the other for a book publisher's blog. The audiences for the sites are vastly different, and she achieved a design for each one that works for its market. Her creativity and professionalism are top-notch, and she's lightning fast with answering questions and completing projects. I was very relieved to have her help with SEO and getting site maps submitted to Google too, which made all the difference in getting the sites to show up in Google search results. Bottom line: Thauna rocks and I look forward to working with her on any new sites in the future! - redbarnblog.com and resprofsp.com

  • Elizabeth Hanes

    Elizabeth Hanes

    Thauna was simply a delight to work with. With very little input from me, she came up with the gorgeous, minimalist website I'd said I wanted. I highly recommend Thauna for her designer's eye and technical savvy. Creative, knowledgeable, responsive -- Thauna embodies every quality you hope to find in a web designer!

  • A Spoonful of Sugar

    Lisa & Sarah - A Spoonful of Sugar

    Our blog was in desperate need of makeover. Thauna from Bellano Web Studio has listened to our ideas and designed us a wonderful new site which is modern, easy to navigate, and showcases our crafts and recipes. She handled the Blogger to WordPress transfer, designed our new logo, added lots of cool features, and  kept us regularly updated and involved with the process. Thauna was a joy to work with and has a great attention to detail. If you are wanting to invest in a quality web design, we wholeheartedly recommend Thauna.

  • Sweeterville

    Sweeterville

    Working with Thauna is a dream! She took my vision and made it better. She is extremely creative and knowledgeable about Wordpress, features, and plugins. She pulled me through my site design, and made it fun. My site was delivered on time and on budget. I would jump at the chance to work with her again. She's a gem!

  • Dream Inc.

    http://dream-inc.nl/

    Thauna is awesome! I've worked with her on 2 projects and in both cases the outcome was entirely different. This really shows what a versatile and creative designer she is. On the last project we worked on I was pretty demanding, I changed my business name and my logo twice and I was still not 100% sure about the direction I wanted to take with the website. Thauna stayed very patient during the process and helped me to put together a brand that I´m really happy and content with. I've made a lot of stupid investments trying to set up my business, but hiring Thauna was one of the best decisions I've made.

  • Red Brolly

    Brownyn - Red Brolly
    I have had two blogs designed by Thauna. And I’m extremely happy with both of them. Thauna is brilliant at knowing exactly what you want and putting this into a design that exceeds your wildest expectations. She always goes that one step further. I’m very pleased with both designs Thauna has done for me. But, it’s not only with the design perspective that I’ m very happy with- it’s also with the ongoing support. As a person that is limited with technical knowledge about my website- Thauna is always there to solve any problem in the shortest possible time! I cannot recommend Thauna and the Bellano Web Studio highly enough.

  • Education to the Core

    Emily - Education to the Core

    Thank you so much! You truly have been so amazing throughout this whole process.  I just want to thank you so much for working so hard, and being so kind.  I have had the best experience with you, and I am so happy with my blog.  You are amazing, and I would recommend you to any of my friends.

  • The Iceberg Project

    Cher - The Iceberg Project

    Before I worked with Thauna I had no idea how I wanted the site to look and function. After giving her some basic ideas and course-correcting along the way, she came up with a brilliant design for my site that's better than I could have ever imagined it.

  • Strong Mom Fitness Connection

    Andrea - Strong Mom Fitness Connection

    Thauna is an amazing designer to work with. She was great at answering my many questions before starting and made me feel very comfortable.  She was always available and responded promptly throughout the entire process.  She had so many great ideas and came up with many elements I never would have thought of otherwise.  She had a way of incorporating my ideas but making them better.   She is very creative and helped me come up with a great logo when I wasn’t exactly sure what I wanted.  I loved that she threw in extras like Facebook and Twitter cover photos too.   She also provided great support after the site was finished.  I’m so happy with how the site turned out and would definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone else needing an amazing website.

  • Bluebonnet Baker

    Amber - Bluebonnet Baker

    Thauna has been spectacular in every aspect. So organized, from start to finish. We really jived in how we approach projects, which thrilled me. I couldn't be happier with how my site turned out, or how quickly it came together. I'd highly recommend Thauna to anyone who asked!

  • The Bubble Dancer

    Riccardo - The Bubble Dancef

    I have been thinking about starting a blog for the last three years, and the task has always scared me. I am busy professional with no time, I certainly cannot dedicate days never mind weeks to the project. So I started looking for help. I bumped into Bellano Web Studio, and I was impressed right away by the clarity of the service offering. Thauna has been a saviour, she came up with my logo design (which blew me away), web site layout, fonts colour scheme and she created a terrific brand for my new project, all from a very meager set of instructions, almost a mind reader!

    No need to look any further for Web Design you have found the right partner.

  • What I Have Learned

    Jessica - What I Have Learned

    I LOVE my new blog design!  Thauna did an awesome job with the layout, design, navigation, and overall look and feel of the site.  Every element fits perfectly creating a sense of balance with color and whitespace.

    Thauna was a pleasure to work with.  She answered every question and worked in every element that I wanted.  The back and forth conversation was a breeze.  It’s like she knew just what I wanted and needed for my web site.  Thauna moved my web site over from blogger, something I was so nervous to do myself.  She made the process easy and took away the intimidation of it.  She knows her stuff.  Thauna has a wonderful knowledge base of Wordpress, plugins and design.
    All in all, it was an awesome experience working with her and I would do it again in a heartbeat!
