I've been working with The Visual Sense since 2024 I think, and over that time have been spoiled by flawless design service that is always on time, and with a creative touch that hits the mark. I wish I could say my company gets special treatment, but I think The Visual Sense delivers outstanding service for all its customers. Really grateful for our collaborations!

These folks are great, I had an outdated website that needed updating and customers were telling me they were having a hard time finding it on their cell phones, The Visual Sense fixed my problems and even made my website look quite a bit nicer. I would absolutely recommend them for website work .

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Diane is a pleasure to work with. Her company has always performed above and beyond the scope of work we need her to do (and we are demanding with many changes!).  She has built catalogs, websites, brochures and helped make our website more professional and easy to use for our clients.  We have been using her services since May of 2013!  She is currently rebuilding our current catalog with 1000's of SKUs and visual diagrams .  She is a great catalog designer!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have worked with Diane for over 12 years who has helped me with all sorts of short and long term projects such as business card design, website design and updates, wordpress updates and page designs. It seems I have a project or needed updates at least monthly and Diane is quick to tackle the project with many projects completed within the hour.  I do not have a creative brain so I usually explain to Diane what I am looking for and she nails the design on the first attempt every time.  Highly recommend Diane and Visual Sense.  Thanks for all the great work over the years.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve had the absolute pleasure of working with Diane Foley of The Visual Sense for nearly 20 years, and I can confidently say she is one of the most reliable and talented professionals I’ve ever worked with. From major projects like rebranding our company logo and overall visual identity to smaller (but challenging for me!) adjustments like tweaking our letterhead, Diane always delivers with precision, professionalism, and grace. It honestly feels like she can read my mind—she consistently understands my vision and brings it to life seamlessly. And on the rare occasion when she needs a bit more input, she’s incredibly easy to communicate with and always receptive to feedback. Diane is not only a true expert in her field, but she’s also an absolute joy to work with. She’s dependable, creative, and worth every penny. I can’t recommend her and The Visual Sense highly enough!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Have owned a bakery here in Las  Vegas and had a standard website host and it was such a pain to update anything new. I contacted Visual Sense for a new look and they 100% redid the site and it is PERFECT.  Usually stunning and I’m getting phone calls where clients are actually commenting on our “awesome new site” It is totally on brand for our bakery and we could not be happier with the outcome! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great new look, we are beyond thrilled. Every question we had was answered quickly and they followed several times to ensure we were happy. Great experience all around!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Customer service, and a genuine interest in making the client happy can be difficult to find.  The Visual Sense is the only place I'm ever going to go for any future design needs.  I've worked with her 3 times now and it's been an absolute pleasure every time.  Diane has an incredible eye for detail/design, and is really easy to work with.  I can't recommend this place enough!  Seriously, if you're shopping around, you can stop looking now and just give them a call.
