Aspera Solutions has been a customer of Clear Designs for the past year. The whole experience has been 5 star each step of the way. We have embarked on a re-branding, new website design and new collateral where Clear Designs and in particular Keith have demonstrated at all times care to our brand, striving to push the limits to provide us with a unique design for the Aspera brand and messaging. Clear Designs have delivered on their promises and we would have no issue recommending them to any business.
