Recent Projects

“As a consultant and director of corporate marketing, I have hired Mark for two critical branding and web site initiatives. In 2003 he executed a superior web site and road show presentations for Brightmail Anti-Spam prior to the company being acquired by Symantec. In 2005, under tight time constraints, Mark refreshed the corporate identity and created an exceptional Web2.0 corporate web site for BeVocal. These efforts directly impacted the successful sales efforts and positioning of the company, leading to its acquisition by Nuance.”

Bob Dorr

Jaime McNeely

“I am NOT a techie! So, I needed a real sharpshooter when I launched my brand new website. Mark (and Doug) at Dagaz Solutions built me a beautiful interactive website where I can easily post my articles, videos and slide shows, as well as to promote my book. Mark also introduced me to social marketing for business, with me now active and linked to thousands of others on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Friendfeed, YourTube and more. All of these elements interact perfectly with my website. Mark Elster is a genius and I am thrilled to highly recommend him!”

"Mark did a beautiful job on my logo and website design. He listened well and worked with me to turn my very rough ideas of imagery and color into an elegant and coherent identity. The whole look delights me. He's also very pleasant to deal with and meets his time commitments."

“Mark's work for our project was exceptional. We couldn't have achieved the results we did without his design/development expertise and quick turnaround time. Looking forward to working with Mark again.”

...thank you for your work on the 50x15foundation.org website. You were able to port a significant amount of content from the old site, and reproduce it in a nice clean format with effective navigation techniques. The effort you put into creating Drupal Content Types for much of the content will contribute to ongoing ease of maintenance by content editors. The overall result was very pleasing considering our restricted design budget.

Thanks for delivering a quality product on time and on budget.
