    Ari (with Peter McDowell) designed and maintains professional web pages for myself and my wife. His work from the beginning has been fully professional, his design imaginative and flexible, and the maintenance attentive and responsive to our needs. We recommend him highly.

    Ari created my husband's website http://relationshipcou... . Ari delivered the production and development on time, and my husband had nothing but good things to say about his experience.  It is truly amazing what Ari did using wordpress.  No 'template' look or feel, just a professional and clean design. Since the experience was so good we're using him to host our website as well.

    Ari has made signs for clients and my own business as well.
    he was very quick and easy to work with.  he even got a job done extra quick before leaving the country so as not to delay our deadline.
    his vinyl work is fantastic and very professional.  complex graphics are not a problem for Ari.  he installs as well so he's a one stop shop, which is a big plus.  and he's a nice guy!  highly recommended.

    I'm shopping around for a web designer, for my companies very first website. I gave Ari a call, without any prior knowledge of how to go about setting up a website, and he just spent the last 30 minutes giving me a run down of how i could go about setting one up and explaining what was involved - alllllll the while not pressuring me to use his services or getting annoyed with my stupid questions!

    helloari gets 5 stars for great customer service and consulting...
    but ill update after he puts the actual site together for me.

    I discovered Ari here, on Yelp and was very happy with the work he did for me. He is truly a modern graphic and sign craftsman. A one stop shop for image work, printing and signs (etc.).
    It was great to have someone knowledgeable talk me through my options in regards to materials and colors for my large overhead sign, sandwich board signs and window vinyl.
    Although, I went to Ari with a design in place, it is apparent from the work he's done (See website) and his artistic manner that his personal design and layout work equal in quality to his outstanding printing and Vinyl work.

    Ari has a unique combination of creative and technical abilities and seems to be capable of anything.
    He's extremely balanced and a pleasure to work with.
    He thinks deeply about the right approach to problems and is a great listener.
    I'd highly recommend him for any project you need done!

    We reviewed 5 different designers, looking for someone who would be a good fit to build our nonprofit a website with:
    ---Elegant and professional design, including a revisit of our nonprofit's logo
    ---Robust architecture, preferably open source and growing
    ---three different levels of password privilege for members and committees having confidential posted discussions
    ---Responsive support when we had questions
    ---Excellent compatibility with Explorer (boo hiss), Firefox and Safari
    ---Several neat bells and whistles

    4 of them winnowed themselves out during the interview process; Ari, however, managed to impress the technical and the completely non-technical people on the selection committee.

    And Ari did it all---on schedule, on budget (in the thousands) and with high praise from a group of notoriously difficult to impress characters at the website roll out.    He exceeded our expectations.

    Extremely professional, pleasure to work with, would work with him again in a minute.

    Ari rebuilt our website in Wordpress and did a fantastic job! He suggested excellent improvements and has been super supportive through the whole process. I  recommend him highly for web hosting, websites and more--the guy is super knowledgeable and gets the job done--which is incredibly helpful to a small business person who is juggling a million things.

    Ari is brilliant.  He's created vinyl signage for me for many places and then he installs and it's always pixel perfect and installed perfectly even.  He knows a lot about a lot of things so sometimes I ask him for advice about something just because he might know the answer or know someone who knows the answer.

    HelloARI design.  I've worked with Ari on business identity, signage, website design.  He is extremely accessible, professionally managed my expectations (budget and time), delivered on schedule, and, most importantly, guided us through the creative process of converting our values and desires into manageable choices.  He was too affordable, and too conscientious, but I want to work with him again.

    Ari has been a great help to me over the years. I continue to hire his services based on consistent high-quality work and broad expertise. He adapts quickly and works well with various internal teams, from marketing to design and engineering. I always feel relieved when I have Ari on a project!

    I've had the pleasure of being contracted by Ari for the past couple of weeks.  He took a chance on me based on an email interview.  He's been incredibly patient with me -- a rookie freelancer -- coming up to speed and has given me great feedback on the work I've done for him.  He started me out with work I'm accustomed to and has  helped me stretch my skill set by giving me the opportunity to do more extensive work.  When I tried freelancing in the past, my clients would take forever handing off work to me, providing feedback, and especially delay paying me.  Ari not only has kept me busy, but he asked *me* when I wanted to get paid, and once invoiced he paid immediately.  5+ stars!  I can't help but be excited because I'm doing what I love doing and am getting paid for it... since being laid off over two years ago.  I look forward to working with Ari on future projects he find me to be a great fit for.

    In a word, Ari ROCKS!  It's starting to sound cliche on this page, but really and truly this man is the consummate professional and just a great guy to work with.  So responsive, so forward-thinking, helpful and thorough.  Plenty more positive adjectives to go but you get the idea.  You will not be disappointed.

    Working with Ari at HelloAri Design over the past few years has been a real pleasure. Ari's talent for envisioning and designing our websites, then implementing their creation while continually giving us feedback & suggestions about how to improve our visibility and traffic has been great.

    He has a real talent for seeing how the site can be made more effective, both from the artistic perspective as well as from the practical perspective of making the site optimally functional for viewers. He has also worked with us to create a database that is intuitive for users and can be easily updated.  

    We have worked with Ari from the inception of our website in 2004, and we intend to continue to work with him far into the future as our sites evolve. Actually, we wouldn't consider working with anyone else to maintain our web presence.

    Ari was instrumental in getting our company website switched to a new platform.  He was able to accommodate all of our many design requests, find solutions to problems, make recommendations, provide training on using the new software and more.  He was patient, knowledgeable and timely in his responses so we could continue to move forward with adding content and meet our schedule for launch. I can highly recommend his company and services.

    I was very, very impressed with Ari's work and his level of professionalism. My request was to redesign and reformat a website, transfer content, and add a lot of new content. He worked quickly and efficiently to do this, but more importantly, he taught me in great detail how to make these changes myself. Not only is he very smart, fast, and knowledgeable, he always got back to me re: my requests, typically within an hour or 2. Unheard of! I also felt like he went beyond the call of duty to make sure that my site was something that I could be happy with in the long-term. Use him.

    Ari is fabulous! He designed my logo, business cards and website to start my business 10 years ago. Couldn't have done or started my floral design business without him. Recently, he worked on signs on my van. He designed and made vinyl cut so quickly and did the installation in one hour. I was completely amazed by his services. I have to post the photos of the beautiful sign. Highly recommended.

    Ari made it all so easy! I gave him some general guidelines and he knew exactly what was needed for the job. I needed 4 outdoor signs on aluminum panels and lettering for the front window and door of my new office. He measured and took photos, then quickly emailed me back with mock-ups of the signs showing my artwork in accurate scale on the photos. Each application had its own particularity and he got it right every time. The layout was artistic and clean - just what I wanted. The signs fit perfectly and he applied the lettering on my windows with precision. Needless to say, I got lots of emails and phone calls from friends/clients saying they say the new signage and loved it! Ari is a wizard.
