Over the years, many of our clients in Albany, Lebanon, and Corvallis Oregon have expressed their appreciation for the work we have done for them. This is a sampling of those testimonials.
Web Clients
The Fillmore Inn Apartments
As a result of a referral from another client, we developed a website for The Fillmore Inn of Corvallis Oregon. They offer students or a single working person a clean, safe, quiet, and affordable place to call home.
When the project was finished the management team of Jim Brady and Frank van Werkhooven wrote to say:
“Working with you, John, has made us understand what you mean by ‘& More’ in your company flier; because, you have more than exceeded our expectations.
You have proved a willingness to go beyond the ‘limits’ in meeting your client’s full satisfaction. You worked patiently and met with us until all aspects of our web site fulfilled our wishes, no matter how many times we asked for changes. You have shown true dedication in providing a quality product!
Sincerely,
Jim and Frank(Fillmore Inn Apartments)”
Linn County Department of Health Services
Ken
Brayton of Linn Country
Department of Health Services wrote us to describe how easy it was for
him to add a new swine flu page to the website.
“Your genius web design:
John, Thought you might like to see how we're using your web
site design for an update page on the swine flu. Thanks to your site design,
it's been easy for me to create a new page like this!”

On another occasion Ken provided this testimonial:
Top qualities: Great Results, Good Value, High Integrity
John was very involved in a major reorganization of our website when I was hired as the IT Manager (Linn County Department of Health Services). I found John easy to work with and very professional in his work with our organization. John's work on the web site was highly organized, well-structured, artistically appealing, and conforming to current HTML standards.
He was very meticulous and careful with both the mechanical aspects of developing the site as well as carefully crafting the content that was provided for him. John was willing to point out potential problems with certain aspects of the site and worked well with me to resolve them. If John didn't know an answer to a particular problem, he would spend extra time researching the issue and discovering ways of solving it.
Since our new website has gone live, we have received numerous compliments on it. It has been easy to maintain the site because of the highly structured manner in which it was developed.
I am happy to recommend John to anyone seeking web site development or any specialized word smithing skill.
Pathway Solutions and Peter R. Dufour
I highly recommend the website, software, and print application services by John Hood-Fysh of Wordsworth & More.
I had the good fortune of being referred to John Hood-Fysh for my new website: www.CLHypnotherapy.com services. If you review my website you'll notice that his work is impeccable, thorough, and customer friendly.
I found John to be a good listener, brilliant in his suggestions to improve the website, patient and diligent. Mr. Hood-Fysh is highly ethical, and a client can place confidence in his commitment to deliver. In addition, his fees are very reasonable.
I will not hesitate a moment to call upon Mr Hood-Fysh for future work.

My Back Yard, Inc
Linda Pokornik, President of My Back Yard, Inc in Calgary Alberta Canada
wrote us on March 15, 2003 to say;
“We
were approached by WM Wordsworth & More to upgrade and develop a custom
web site for my business. It has worked so well, I feel compelled to describe
how the web site they developed helped my business.
My Backyard Inc. is currently receiving, from our web, three to four client inquiries per week. Sixty percent of these clients contacted our company because they were impressed with our web presentation. Over a period of one year, My Backyard Inc.'s web site has generated revenues in excess of $400,000.
My Backyard Inc. has retained the services of three individuals whom responded to employment inquiries from the web. These persons applied for employment after viewing our web site and determining from the web site that our company was a desirable place to work. These persons preceded to become key employees.
My Backyard Inc. is located in Alberta, Canada. The Webmaster's location being Oregon, U.S.A. has not been an issue as John Hood-Fysh has made himself readily available via phone and email.
My Backyard Inc. finds John Hood-Fysh to be innovative, imaginative, and well educated in the development, design, implementation, and maintenance of web sites.”
Footnote: In mid-year 2004 the company management was persuaded to switch to a local (to them) web developer in a swap for services agreement. My Back Yard, Inc and the web design company have since stopped operating.
The Bamboo Valley
Dain Sansome owner of The Bamboo
Valley Authority 
had a website design he wanted to implement. Search
engine ranking was also important. We used industry best practices to create
a site that was to his specifications and optimized the content, description,
abstract, and keywords to improve search engine ranking. After we completed
the site in January of 2008, he wrote us to say;
“Thanks for your suggestions about the description, keywords, and abstract.
That's amazing the rankings are so far up! A week ago the closest I could
find the site for anything relevant other than “bamboo valley” was
page 19 or 20 on Google. I just noticed checking myself this moment that
Google has cached a new copy of the site on Jan 30th.”
Footnote: The client now maintains the website and it has changed significantly from the original design.
Mid-Valley Vicariate
The Catholic Churches of the Mid-Willamette Valley wanted a web presence.
Wordsworth & More was contacted to do the work. We completed the work
in a week, and Patricia DePetrillo of the Mid-Valley
Vicariate web page steering committee wrote to say:
“Excellent! How did you do this so quickly? I expected the photos,
but music and scrolling news, very nice. I will forward your message to the
rest of the Steering Committee. Thanks for the great work!”

Tix•R•Us
Colleen Dick, President of Tix•R•Us wrote a thank you note
in December of 2007 after the completion of our project (Quick Start Guide,
Reference Manual, and HTML Help system) for her online ticketing application;
“John, Thank you so much. It was a pleasure getting to know you — I'm
very pleased with the result and will happily recommend you to my friends
and colleagues, not to mention call you first when this needs updating < 8
months I'm guessing.
“...and More” aptly describes your business.”
