Testimonials

Before we joined forces with Creative Constructs managing our web site was a frustrating experience. We could never make changes in a timely manner, and we spent most of our time chasing around our "web master". After meeting with David we knew we had found a solution. Creative Constructs listened to our needs and created a web site that looks and works great. Best of all we can manage virtually everything ourselves easily. Our web site is able to change and adapt to our needs. It is one of the best investments we've ever made. " - Jim Olsen (owner of Signature Sounds Records) I've been working with Creative Constructs for several years on a variety of projects. They understand my needs and protect me from the technology, which isn't my thing. And their strong work ethic means they are amazingly responsive. " - Susanna Opper - Chief Wordsmith - Shawenon Communications Thanks for creating such a great web site with us, and making it so easy for us to make our constant changes. You're always their for us with only one phone call, and you make everything so simple for us to use. You are Awesome! " - Betty Duprey, owner Nicky D's Please accept my heartfelt thanks for the website built by Creative Constructs for Katrina's Piano Fund, my non-profit effort to replace musical instruments of all kinds lost by New Orleans musicians in the flood which devastated their city.

Since my initial email solicitation in September of 2005 which led potential donors to this website, we raised over $200,000 through checks and Paypal. Over 300 needy musicians applied on the site, as did hundreds of benefactors who had instruments to donate. All tolled, over 500 new or used instruments were given to musicians displaced all over the USA, allowing them to get back to work, recovering their livelihood and their dignity.

Our distribution efforts were greatly assisted by the site's automatic emailing of submitted applications to the Fund's managers. Receiving immediate notification allowed us to make quick matchups between instruments and recipients, many of whom were moving frequently as the diaspora spread.

The website's authoring application allowed me to create a forum to share the stories of our participants, which raised awareness of the plight of the City's residents and the stalled recovery effort. These updates provide an important historical record, and writing them has helped me, personally, to cope with the tragedy.

The efforts of Katrina's Piano Fund would have been far less successful, and certainly less satisfying without the excellent site design and generous support by Creative Constructs.

Thank You! " - John 'Klondike' Koehler - Secretary/Treasurer
