RAVE REVIEWS

“I hired Spectrum to design my professional logo and website, and it was one of the best business decisions I’ve made! The high level of expertise and creativity from the team was apparent from the very first meeting, and continued through the entire web-building process. They made it a very stress-free experience and answered all of my questions. In the end I was presented a beautiful custom website that not only represented my brand, but also reflected my personality. I couldn’t be happier!”

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Nick Furris and his crew at Spectrum many times over the last 20 years on a variety of projects. Without fail, the team is dependable, creative, talented and dedicated. Most of all, they are a joy to work with.

I often recommend their services to others in the industry and always look forward to the chance to work with them.

I have had the pleasure of working with Spectrum for three years. They have made me feel like I am their only client. When I walk into their offices, I am treated like family. The entire Spectrum crew have educated me and opened my eyes to the power of proper and tasteful marketing and advertising. It is encouraging to know that there is someone out there who cares about the success of my business as much as I do.

I don’t know what we’d do without Spectrum! They have been a true partner that delivers amazing, high quality work despite the obstacles and tight time frames we throw at them – they do whatever it takes to get the project done right. My company has worked with Spectrum for about 10 years now, and I’ve been working closely with them for about five of those years, and they never cease to exceed our expectations in making my company look great!

Ty Wood – Proprietor

Promotional videos created by Spectrum Films for the Justice Coalition have been professional, state-of-the-art productions, capturing the compelling testimonies of innocent victims of violent crime with great compassion from the film crew, touching the hearts of viewers with the efficacy of our organization. Spectrum is a community-minded business that does an outstanding job displaying the heartbeat of this non-profit organization.

After our first project together, I made the decision to give Spectrum all of our video production business. They are that good. Not only is the end product excellent, the whole experience of working with these friendly, cooperative, talented folks is exceptional.   To Nick and the crew—Thank you for your friendship and a long, prosperous partnership. Couldn’t have made it happen without you!
