“Stan Fairbank was a key player in the redesign and relaunch of NapaStyle.com, which was one of the most successful launches of my career. Stan not only has passion for innovative and compelling design, but driving site conversion and improving customer experience - a combination that makes him like gold to any e-retailer.”

“He shows a commanding grasp of the web platform and the toolsets used to build it--plus he's good with people and built strong working relationships while here at Bio-Rad. Stan notably and recently helped lead our eVolution 2.0 content project for the team that resulted in an on-time and under-budget delivery.”
HOWARD MAAT
Manager of Marketing Communications
Bio-Rad Laboratories
“Stan is a consummate technology professional. I worked very closely with Stan on maintaining and updating a very large, very diverse commerce-enabled website at Bio-Rad. Stan's range of understanding of technology enabled me to write accurate schedules, statements of work, and estimates during the project initiation phase. Stan supported my team throughout the development and build cycles, and helped navigate a rather thorny QA process. His calm demeanor and attention to detail make him an asset to any project team.”
BRIAN HOWE

“I worked with Stan in two capacities at Bio-Rad Laboratories: first while he was a freelance web designer/developer on the MarCom team that I led, and then second as a Web Content Manager for our entire group. In both roles, Stan proved to be a capable, reliable asset. As a web designer, Stan’s quick response and attention to detail allowed us to repeatedly meet our clients’ expectations and deadlines. As a Web Content Manager, he played a key role in our company’s “eVolution 2.0” web rollout. He was always well-informed and communicated well with colleagues and clients alike. One of the many things I appreciated about working with Stan was that I could always count on him to either have a solution, or be resourceful enough to know how to find the solution.”

“I worked with Stan on a number of projects in the last year at Bio-Rad. He was always incredibly well-prepared, extremely efficient and an excellent business partner. It\\''s rare to work with someone who is so consistently reliable.”
ANDREW HECHT
Senior Business Analyst

“The beauty of working with Stan is that not only do you get incredible creative execution but it's delivered with spot on brand accuracy. Stan took the extra effort every email, newsletter or home page refresh to reach out to the buyers and planners to ensure that firstly, the correct product was chosen as a feature and secondly, that customers would have immediate access to that item. Cohesive color palettes to accompany seasonal offerings were always present and communicated a sense of place and taste. I enjoyed working with Stan immensely and highly recommend that other companies take advantage of such a talent.”

“I had the pleasure of working with and getting to know Stan while working together at Bio-Rad Laboratories. Stan had a solid grasp of Internet technologies and web design and was always ready to collaborate to make sure that projects were delivered on time and of the highest standards. I often consulted with Stan to determine the best way to approach tough technical hurdles and he was always ready to deliver sound advice.”
JEFFRY NAGY
Sr. Project Manager

“Stan was a great help in the busy and ever-changing world of our email blast program. Stories and their content could change by the hour, but Stan kept track of every detail (not an easy task by any means), and that helped ensure the email blasts were accurate and easy to understand for our customers. In addition, he never failed to stay late when a campaign needed extra attention to get everything perfect. Stan is very dependable and dedicated and has a great work ethic. Any organization would be lucky to have him on board!”

“I have worked with Stan off & on for close to 15 years. As the primary packaging and web designer for my independent label (WIN Records), Stan handled all of the designs, layouts and implementation for well over 20 of our album and CD releases. In addition, he was the webmaster/designer for the label's site and single handedly built it from the ground up. I have always felt lucky to have had such a creative, fair & trustworthy partner in my creative endeavors over the years. I cannot recommend Stan highly enough.”

“Stan was a stellar addition to the web team at NapaStyle! Not only did his outstanding design skills bring our email campaign and a large variety of other projects to a higher level, but his breadth of talent constantly amazed me. He was always willing to take on new areas of responsibility -- from creating thorough data management systems, to site analysis, to new websites, etc, and executed these flawlessly (all the while maintaining remarkable quality on existing design roles). I am also grateful to Stan for his willingness to share his expertise; his calm demeanor and keen sense of humor are just a few more reasons I highly recommend Stan.”
