Unused hours do not roll over to the next month. It’s important to utilize your allotted hours within the month to make the most of your retainer.

Mr. Andrew Sani has been a pleasure to work with. He understood the design concept I needed and helped me achieve a more excellent version of the original idea. I'm a very creative person so I usually provide him with specifics and that has not intimidated him, he only embraced the challenge. I'd highly recommend Mr. Sani for work in any area because he's vastly mastered many programs and there's nothing I've given him so far that he was not able to achieve. I'm thankful.

Mr. Sani has done an excellent job on my ministry website. I asked members to try out the website and I got great feedback such as; it's user-friendly, the colors are attractive, I can find everything I need, and more. I'm so pleased with the results! We've never had this type of creative and professional site that reflects our vision.

Andrew was fantastic from the start of our project and we are still enjoying a great working relationship. I was attracted to his protfolio of work and engaged him to create our website. HE has not only delivered on the project but guided and educated me and my team on insights and ways of viewing a few things from a graphic and user experience standard. Thank you Andrew for all the effort and hard work.
