Testimonials

Thank you Bellano! You've helped me re-do my blog several times now and it's always been a smooth transition. Your eye for design and creativity coupled with attention to detail is the perfect combo!

Thauna's work process is organized and thorough and throughout the migration of my blog from blogger to WordPress, and throughout the design process, I felt that my vision was heard. My questions answered. And more importantly, she guided me through the more confusing parts so that I could get back to what I want to do: write.

Thauna was so easy to work with. She listened to our ideas. Was willing to let us know if she didn’t like our idea and would give us a better one. She was willing to tweak things if there was something we thought was a little off. When she was finished our website went way beyond our expectations!  We love it and we loved working with her through this process!

After almost 10 years of blogging on the Studentessa Matta Italian language learning and culture website (www.StudentessaMatta.com), I knew it was time for a fresh new look. I turned to Thauna at Bellano Web Studios to handle the redesign. I had become aware of Thauna through social media and was impressed with her work, and knew her also to be as passionate about Italy as I am. It seemed we were destined to work together. From the moment we connected and discussed ideas for the redesign project, I knew she would do an excellent job, and my site was in good hands. I was so confident, I even turned over to her my other two sites — The Art of Loving Italy (www.ArtLovingItaly.come), where I blog about Italy and Art, and my Melissa Muldoon author website (www.MelissaMuldoon.com). For all three sites, Thauna did not disappoint. In fact, she exceeded my expectations for all three! She was easy to work, patient, timely, and professional and always available to answer my questions, problem solve technical issues, and address my many (many) requests. I love my redesigned sites that are big, beautiful, and extremely appealing. I also enjoy working with Thauna, and I consider her part of Team Matta now! Thank you so much Thauna. Complimenti! Well done.

As a news-publication, our desires for the site were pretty specific. Especially in terms of categorization and layout. We needed something simple and easy to navigate. We also wanted to build some new pages and elevate the user experience. Thauna was able to put all our goals and desires, big and small, into fruition. We loved how responsive Thauna was and how patient she was. She really took our small edits seriously and made sure that the smallest of details were how we wanted them to be. Thauna is a pleasure to work with and she will make your dreams and visions come true.

I love my new site! Thauna did an amazing job turning my vision into a reality. She was amazing to work with. She was patient, knowledgeable, and answered every question along the way. Thauna moved my site from blogger to word press. I was SO nervous about this process! But she made it super easy and held my hand every step of the way. She was incredibly knowledgeable about designs, word press, plug-ins - just everything! It was an amazing experience working with her and I would absolutely do it again. Thank you Thauna! 🙂

Don't even think twice about it. Hire Thauna! She is professional, organized, kind and patient, and full of creativity! This is my second website design with her and she has been amazing every single time. She understood what I wanted and what I needed and made this such an enjoyable experience.

Working with Thauna is never work - it's always a joyful experience. She truly understands what you're envisioning with site design and then magically brings it to life on the screen. I always turn to her when I have a new idea because I know she'll be able to make it happen.

Thauna has been incredible to work with!  She took our very messy ideas and concepts and transformed them into an easy-to-navigate and aesthetically pleasing website.  We could not be happier with the final product and are so grateful for Thauna’s keen eye, expertise and never-ending patience as we worked through MANY iterations to get everything just right. 

I was a huge admirer of Thauna’s designs before I worked with her. After thoroughly examining her past clients’ websites and being increasingly impressed with her designs each time, I decided to contact her so she can work her magic on my website and my brand!  What I love about Thauna is that she took the time to understand me and the vision I had for my company and incorporated it into my website. She listened, she asked questions, and she delivered. I am a tweaker and tinker by nature and Thauna was patient, always willing to revise, and give feedback in a timely manner. I could not be happier with the work she did.

Thauna continues to be my go-to webmistress. When I decided that the website’s home page needed a refresh, I didn’t think twice about contacting her. She was a great brainstorming partner, came up with creative ideas, and implemented it all beautifully. I’m thrilled with the results!

I want to thank Thauna at Bellano Web Studio for the amazing job. I highly recommend her! She will work with you patiently and paying attention to every single detail.

Thauna is an incredibly creative and talented graphic designer and Wordpress developer. She is also a joy to work with. Thauna listened and asked great questions about my objectives and desired design. Once she understood my vision for the website, she made it a reality. Even when I had some atypical design requests, she came up with solutions to them. I love the results! Thank you Thauna!

Thauna made a beautiful website for us on a compressed schedule.  She was responsive, comprehensive, and creative.  She's incredibly organized, has well-oiled work process that keeps things on track, and communicates quickly and effectively.  This is a GODSEND when you are frantically working on tight deadlines and need your website done well and done quickly.  Few designers have her designer talents, but she distinguished herself among them by her high degree of professionalism.

I love my website! Thauna was great to work with and very professional. My site was done quickly and it looked even more amazing than I imagined. I would definitely use her again!

Starting a small business is a very daunting task. The list of things to get in place can be scary and overwhelming and in a day and age when an online presence is such an important component of how you present yourself, it is crucial to find a web designer that is able to not only see your vision but execute it perfectly! For me, that Web Designer has been the incomparable Thauna Smith and her company, Bellano Web Studio. I have had the absolute pleasure of working with Thauna for over 6 years as she has guided, advised, designed, and implemented the most amazing things for my company through website design and maintenance. When you work with Thauna, it’s more than just a client-to-client relationship, it is a true partnership. Her approach to design is both cooperative and personal, her communication style is easy and consistent and her level of professionalism is unparalleled. The attention to detail, function, flow, and the overall look and feel of any project she takes on is exceptional and she does it all at a price that is fair and realistic. Working with Thauna and Bellano Web Studio has been one of the best and most rewarding experiences and I would highly recommend her services to anyone who is looking to take their online presence to the next level!

I cannot recommend Thauna with Bellano Web Studio enough! She was incredibly easy to work with... great at communicating, friendly and laid-back, readily available, and excellent at explaining things to those of us who are a bit technology challenged.  Thauna created a beautifully updated website for our family business.  It's easy to navigate, bright, and eye-catching.  She really excelled at listening to all of our feedback, no matter how small, and implementing our ideas.  We would 100% choose to work with her again.  Thank you, Thauna!

Hello Thauna, Very sorry for my, "very late review".... Please just understand that "You made my review this late!" But seriously; my very late review is because you updated/redesigned my website into something "irresistible" and, the result is that we now have many more Brides & Grooms requesting for our services for their weddings. For anyone, everyone out there that has an older site design. It's probably time to get it updated & keep it updated! Your return on investment will pay off, mine certainly has. Having a good looking, updated website is an absolute. Not an option! Thank You BellanoWebStudio!!!

Finding Thauna has been life-changing! I am so excited to have a competent designer on my team now. We were able to get done, in one month, what I've been dreaming about for the last 5 years. She has followed my lead for anything I was sure I wanted and recommended options when I got overwhelmed with all the decisions. She made things look better than I could have hoped for, and held my hand as I learned new features that I haven't used before. She is responsive and kind. I feel confident for the first time in my 12-year blogging run that if I want a design update, I can get it done because I know exactly who to ask, Thauna!!

I am so thankful to Thauna for updating my website design and revamping my logo with a clean aesthetic that I love. It was important to me that I could grow my portfolio and that those photos would be prominently featured. Thauna listened to my concerns and took time to develop a website that would grow with my design studio and brand. She has always been available with follow-up assistance and is wonderful at listening and thoughtfully answering all of my questions. After doing a ton of research, I am so thankful to have found Thauna! She is very thorough and walks you through the entire process step by step. The result is a website, logo and/or branding package that exceeds your expectations! 

Working with Thauna is never work - it's always a joyful experience. She truly understands what you're envisioning with site design and then magically brings it to life on the screen. I always turn to her when I have a new idea because I know she'll be able to make it happen.

Thauna was incredibly easy to work with. She is very talented and professional. She understood our needs and created an amazing and classy web site. We would absolutely work with her again in the future.

Our experience with Thauna has been fantastic. I came into this project with a very vague idea of what we wanted. I knew in my head what we needed but I wasn’t able to put it into words as easily. Thauna was skillfully able to bridge that gap by asking the right questions and guiding us down a path to get a complete picture of our project. We gave her full creative control and she came up with a logo, branding and website that was perfect in every way. She saw our fuzzy vision and made it come to life. That’s her superpower! We look forward to working with her again in the future!

When I set out on this journey to create a website, I knew in my mind how I wanted it to look and feel, but putting that into words was challenging. Thauna was able to turn my thoughts into reality, an actual living, breathing website that delivered exactly what I was hoping for. In addition to that, she is detailed, structured and highly organized, which allowed me to stay focused on writing copy and maintaining a stress-free working process. I am so happy that I found her and I know you will be too!

I contacted Thauna to redesign my combination blog/website. From the very beginning, Thauna’s communication and willingness to accommodate my needs was beyond my expectations. Thauna has an excellent set up for allowing the website owner to feel as in control for the design ideas as they want to. I was able to easily convey what I had in mind through the use of Basecamp. Upon receiving my previews, we were able to communicate back and forth to get my website looking exactly how I wanted. I am so pleased with the results! I would definitely recommend you to use Bellano Web Studio for all of your web design or blog needs. Thank you so much Thauna!

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.

In 2020 I updated my site with Thauna at Bellano. Wordpress had changed a lot and it was necessary. We took the opportunity to rebrand my business and as usual the process was very smooth, easy, and fun with Thauna. I love my new site and get so many compliments on it!
