When
we hired Jumping Bean, we expected someone to just rewrite copy. Hsuan-min and
Blythe ... helped us completely preconceive the Web site, from rewriting copy
to improving usability, navigation, design, and visitor "stickiness".

Calzavara., Vice President
E-Learning Company, Inc.
Excellent job on a very involved white paper... This project required you to learn a little something about ALL of the products and pieces for one of our most important product lines. You did a great job of tying all the pieces together. It's always a great sign when our president has a comment, "This is exactly what I wanted!"
