Assistant Vice President for Marketing and Communications
Stevens Institute of Technology – Hoboken, NJ
“John Trail was hired in 2010 to develop the next generation University News site for Stevens Institute of Technology. John Trail worked with our news staff and internal design team to realize our vision with incredible accuracy and added value. This entailed not only site design in Drupal, a new platform to Stevens, but an entire CMS with highly tailored interfaces that met our complex content management needs. John’s work became the foundation for a major university web overhaul project begun in 2011 - a project that John contributed to significantly through extensive consultation and research.
I highly recommend John Trail for his outstanding technical leadership and customer-centric partnership.”
Cathy Meyer
Director of Consumer Affairs
Emerson Radio Corporation – Hackensack, NJ
“This letter of recommendation is for John Trail. I had the pleasure of working with John when he redesigned our company’s website. John is a professional with impeccable web design skills. Although I had no previous web design knowledge, John was able to take our basic suggestions and transform them into a solid and informative website. He uses the assigned time very wisely and kept in constant communication with our office to insure the site was compatible with our needs and attractive to our consumers.
I highly recommend John Trail to work with any organization or business who is looking for a real professional that will complete any project in a timely fashion.”
Michael Graham
Managing Partner
Second Melody, LLC – Morristown, NJ
“Over the past 15 months, it has been my pleasure to work with John Trail on various projects for which he has acted as, not only a third party vendor for our company, but first and foremost as a part of our team.
John’s skill-set is impressive, in that he is able to combine both development and programming skills, with a comprehensive knowledge of design and layout. As a Creative Director, it is a luxury to work with a developer that understands the form and function of a layout and not just how to write and implement code. John’s ability to adapt his expertise and back-end programming knowledge to jobs that are still in the conceptual stages allow us to easily transition to the creative and development process without hesitation and with the necessary input we need to deliver exactly what our clients are looking for.
I would highly recommend John as I have no doubt that he would bring great value as a member of your team.”
Husani Oakley
Director of Technology
Euro RSCG 4D – New York, NY
“Thought I’d share some good news with you. The ex-CEO if Eli Lilly sent a personal note to the folks at IBM saying how pleased they were with the 'Jam'. Lilly’s Vision Jam had over 73,000 registrants and 31,000 posts from around the world during the first 72 hours. Kickass!”
Sandy Simons, MA, RD, CHES
Director of Events and Marketing
Applied Nutrition Corporation – Cedar Knolls, NJ
“John Trail has been wonderful to work with and has been an asset to our marketing team. We have found the work of John Trail to excel among other vendors because he not only completes our work in a timely fashion, but he brings ideas and improvements to projects that benefit our company. John Trail is attentive to our need, easy to reach and communicate with. I highly recommend John Trail for your web development, SEO and design needs.”
Louise Barder
Senior Publicist and Editorial Director
21C Media Group – New York, NY
"I did actually send them (referrer) a note last week – not requested, but just as a thank you – to tell them how knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and reliable you have been so far. Thank you again for all your incredibly helpful work: our news releases are turning out to be a great success, and we’re really happy with the templates."
Wende Pearsons
Managing Director
Classical Music Rising
"Hi John, I just wanted to pass along a compliment from the NY Philharmonic's publicist, who was really impressed with the placeholder page you created. Joyce also told me she was afraid to go to her site, and then so relieved because it looks beautiful. Thank you for that! "
