Chad and I are in the beginning stages of putting together a new Web site for my business. He has been excellent to work with and has been very prompt in returning my calls and e-mails.
His suggestions for the site have been spot-on and it is obvious that he is at the top of his field.
I have postponed this project many times due to my frustrations and lack of knowledge but now that I have started working with Chad, I have moved this project to the top of my list...his enthusiasm is contagious!
If you are in need of the services CDI Graphic Technology offers, take the time to talk with Chad. You will agree that his knowledge is endless and his excitement level will impress and motivate you.

Without Chad, I am sure I would be struggling to get our Web site running the way we envisioned. Having never built a Web site, I did not know how to go about finding a designer. Thankfully, through Carrie at Pieceful Gathering, I was able to meet Chad. He put me at ease as well as being easy to work with! I don't want to say he always dropped whatever he was doing to answer questions or help with a problem, but I know that he must have. His availability and response time has always been top notch. Chad was a pleasure to work with and still continues to be.

U Lucky Dog Catering was established in 1987 and had always operated by word of mouth and direct mailing. We never thought a web site would bring our little family run business any customers. BOY WERE WE WRONG! I still don't believe it, the first week the site was live we booked 2 parties and the parties keep coming. We have booked back yard birthday parties all the way up to Fortune 500 Company events.

At USA Coffee Company, webmaster had become more or less a “Dirty Word.”
Prior experiences with Website Design Firms had left a bad taste in our mouth.
However, upon our first conversation with Chad at CDI Graphic Technology, all of that changed.
All of the fears, all of the trepidation quickly dissolved and was replaced with the feeling that now we are finally getting somewhere. In a word “accessibility” was the one thing that most impressed us about Chad and CDI Graphic Technology. Making himself available by both office and cellular phone was a huge plus. If we had to, on occasion leave a voice message for Chad, then his response time was always very impressive, not at all what we were accustomed to with other Web site companies. Overall, we found CDI Graphic Technology to be very a real pleasure to work with. Chad’s experience provided us with the guidance we needed to build the perfect Web site for USA Coffee Company.

We first met Chad of CDI Graphic Technology through an organization that we belonged to. He was working on their Web site. We told him about our concerns with our current site and not having the ability of changing the information anytime we needed to. We design custom built computers (but know nothing on how to build a Web site) and need a very fluid type of Web site that can be changed weekly even daily if needed. Chad researched the options in the price range we had to work with and found the perfect solution for us. He designed the main structure and look of the page and all the internal content was up to us. This gives us the flexibility of adding, deleting or changing anything on any page at anytime. How great is that! Just what we needed. Chad was great to work with too. He took the time to find out about our business so he could do what was best for us, not a cookie cutter program for everyone else. He answered all our questions and we could call him at anytime no matter how big or small the question. He was always available for us. We laughed and joked and it was a very relaxed experience. He made it fun which took the pressure out of creating something that will hopefully be a big part of our lives both financially and the pride one gets out of owning your own business. At one point I got so frustrated in dealing with our old domain and hosting companies, I said to Chad "Just make this work for me" and he stepped in and got the job done.
So a big thank you goes out to CDI Graphic Technology for making this process painless, fast and successful. If you're thinking about getting a Web site, then there is no better place to go then CDI Graphic Technology. Take my word on that.

I can't say enough about Chad. I was a little worried about how he would work with a quilt shop, since most of his clients seemed to be more masculine looking. He asked me to give him a chance, so I let him run with it. I couldn't be more pleased! He really captured the essence of my shop, without getting too cutesy. Working with him has been great, too. He was great at nagging me (which I truly need), without being annoying, not to mention - he's so darn cute!
Keep up the good work!

I began working with Chadwood Designs about a year ago. In that time, I have found him to be professional, courteous and timely in his work. Not to mention the fact that he does a great job!
Our relationship started when my in house marketing guy left suddenly and unexpectedly. Chad jumped right in and finished several projects that were “left hanging”. His work was so good and so professional that I hired him to redesign my web site. Being in sales, I need all communications to be sharp and effective and Chad provided that.
Chad took my Web site from sub par to outstanding overnight. He did this in a timely fashion too…much faster than my in house guy would have done.
Working with Chad has been fantastic. He always comes to the table with great ideas and an open mind. More importantly, he possesses the skills to implement those ideas and make them work. I have a Web site that now receives rave reviews and has gone from just being there, to being one of my most effective sales tools. Chad has an ability to see the end result and make it happen.
Running a business I don’t have much time for hand holding. With Chad, you give him an idea and he can run with it.
I would highly recommend Chad and his company to anybody looking to outsource their Web design and marketing needs. What you get with Chad is a straightforward, professional person who is easy to work with. Most importantly, you will be more than happy with his work…I have always been! I urge you to give consideration to Chadwood Designs.

We had an outdated Web site that needed changes and an updated look. We hired someone we thought knew what he was doing. Six months later with a messed up Web site, we found Chad. Chad was very knowledgeable and understanding. Thanks to Chad in a few short weeks, we had a new, professional, user friendly Web site.
Without hesitation we would hire Chad again!

After having unsuccessfully tried to design a Web site myself using another company’s self described overnight Web site “kit,” I discovered just how difficult, if not impossible, it was for an amateur to create anything with a professional image – or at all. Referred by a mailing to a friend, I gave Chad a call. After a brief discussion and reasonable price estimate I decided to give Chadwood Designs a chance and am extremely glad I did.
We had no existing Web site, just a brochure we used to promote the lots in our subdivision. Our need was to create an elegant, yet simple site to provide current custom home and site information to our clients. The desire was to model it after our existing brochure. Chad listened to my needs and desires, obtained one of our brochures and ‘took it from there’. I had a vision in mind of what I wanted the finished product to look like and how I wanted it to function. The finished product is even better than I had imagined.
I feel extremely fortunate to have found Chad and would recommend him to anyone. He is talented, personable, professional, and operates his business with a high level of integrity. I look forward to working with him on additional projects for my business ventures.
Thank you for a job well done!

I would like to tell you about my experience with Chad Koralik and CDI Inc.
In July of 2006 I was looking to develop a Web site for my company, Discount Water Softeners, Inc. After starting the process with the help of a friend, it became apparent I was in need of an experienced Web site designer and developer. I was lucky enough to stumble upon Chad and CDI, Inc. In a short period of time, Chad was able to take my ideas and visions and put them into reality. In fact, Chad has such a great ability to listen to your ideas and build upon them that we were able to take my business and grow it into one of the top water softener sellers on the Internet.
Working with Chad on this project to expand my business on the Internet has enabled me to have a store that is open 24 hours a day, 7 days week. Thanks to Chad it is a store that is user friendly and has a great overall design. I highly recommend Chad if you are looking to grow your business or even start up a new business. His abilities would be an asset to any business.
Thanks again Chad. I look forward to working with you on our next project!
Sincerely,

In fall, 2006, I decided to launch my own hot sauce company. I hired Chad to design my label, company image, and my business cards. We sat down and within an hour, Chad took my ideas, combined them with his vision and immediately started creating my design right before my very eyes! His originality and creativity absolutely floored me!
I hadn't yet decided on a web designer to create my Web site, but after seeing him in action my choice was made. When the site was ready, Chad wanted to launch it with me present, just so that he could see my reaction. This involved Chad and his wife driving 40 miles on a weeknight just to meet up with me and my wife. It was so awesome that it almost brought me to tears! What he came up with is head and shoulders above any other Web site for my type of business that I've seen. I've had incredible reactions from everyone that’s visited my Web site! Any questions I’ve had (I'm somewhat technologically challenged) have been given prompt answers and explanations.
Anyone who is looking for web design or graphic design needs to simply meet with Chad. By the end of the meeting, his enthusiasm, creativity, and professionalism will make your choice very easy! I know it’s the best choice I could’ve made.
Sincerely,
Bill “The Big Pepper” White

Company: Nuts about Nuts
Website: www.nutsaboutnutsonline.com
Nuts About Nuts customers have been asking if our products are available on-line since the first day we opened our gourmet nut shop! While it was our hope to launch a web site at some point, we knew that it was a considerable undertaking. Since our time, energy, and resources were already stretched very thin with the day-to-day operations of our retail store, we knew that choosing the right person to get the job done was critical.
Chad Koralik, Chadwood Designs, has proven to be just that: the right person to take our web site plan from a vision to a reality!
Launching web sites has become an extremely commonplace event. Many web sites, however, are designed without an in-depth understanding of all that is truly required to make the site work effectively to enhance business. Chad has provided us with that underlying expertise. He has been able to offer us a variety of web solutions, guiding us to the combination of elements best suited to our business style and needs.
Chad’s strong organizational skills were evident from the very first time we spoke. From that point on, his web-knowledge and guidance have made it possible to get our site designed efficiently and effectively. Chad’s personal communication skills and creativity have made him a pleasure to work with as well.
We highly recommend Chad to any business in need of a professional to handle the critical task of Web design.
Sincerely,
Ayhan and Julia Alsirt
