"I think my site and product pages are some if not the best pages i've ever seen. The whole team has done a terrific job and should be commended for all the attention to detail. Thank you as well for the push at the end with all these smaller tasks that you jumped on quickly and knocked out for me. As positive feedback goes, there is never enough to go around and much of what you do goes without notice. I am so pleased with the outcome that if you had a tip jar I would fill it with some joy!"
