A few quotes from people I've worked for or with in the past few years. Links lead to the sites I created if they are still substantially as I created them. For more on my projects, see the portfolio page.

"Superb job! Ellen has a powerful set of skills and expertise including technological know-how, keen intelligence, and an elegant creative sensibility. She quickly delivered all of her promises and more."
--Jerry Shrair, President, BOILING POINT

"Everyone at the office is blown away by your design for our new Web site....Everything looks perfect. I've also already had an impressive response to your marketing of our first featured book. I'm so happy we have you on board!"
--Margaret Putnam, Online Production and Marketing Manager, Hyperion Books

"Ellen Harris-Braun is a font of Web ideas, and she's got the follow-through to pull off the best of them. She understands the need for balance between flash and practicality--when it's best to forego cool effects and emphasize ease of use--and has an excellent grasp of the uses of the Web and the ways in which it can extend a company's reach. The Online Writing Workshop, which she developed and runs for Del Rey Books, is a highly successful venture--easy to navigate, fun to use, and clearly a boon for the many writers who post their work for peer review. I think it is the most exciting and energetic part of our Web site."
--Shelly Shapiro, Editorial Director, Del Rey Books/Random House

"Ellen Harris-Braun designed the unique Web site for my serial novel The Blackstone Chronicles. She was both innovative and fun to work with. USA Today listed the site as a notable site of the week, and it still remains an active and useful Web resource for my fans three years later!"
--John Saul, bestselling author

"It has been my pleasure to work with Ellen Harris-Braun for nearly seven years. Her online initiatives and Web-site designs demonstrate her unique understanding of the marketplace and her ability to clearly communicate information."
--Christine Levis, Marketing Manager, The Ballantine Publishing Group

"Ellen and I began working together on the Random House, Inc. Web site in early 1995, and it grew to over 20,000 pages in the years we oversaw it. Ellen understands what works and what doesn't for a consumer-focused site, and did even in the early days of the Web. She has excellent ideas and is able to communciate them to an audience of any level. Furthermore, she has the energy and drive to see projects through, and the organizational skills to create user-friendly systems for their continued development and maintenance."
