"Beverly Howell has kept my fans involved in me through my website.  I have been able to speak to fans from around the world through my site.  My electronic press kit has saved me postage and reproduction costs.  You can hear my music on my site and people can buy my music directly from the site!  This site has helped build my reputation.  Beverly has been working with me and my manager for over 10 years.  My working relationship with Beverly is great and I am proud to have her name on my site!"

"Outside of live performance, the best visibility for a developing artist is through their website.  A web designer has to know what is important to the development of an artist’s career to fully convey to site visitors what the artist has to offer and why they should be part of the artist’s fan base.  A web designer is an important part of the effort in attracting a wider audience.  The artist continually benefits from visibility on the website even when not touring.

I was incredibly fortunate to meet the right person for this job when I met Beverly Howell.  She has the talent of a true artist in her designs and the experience of a publicist in conveying the image of her client through their website.  I have relied on her to maintain my artist’s site providing the fan base all current information such as news and events.  She defines the word professional and her input and efforts have been invaluable!"

"Bev is THE Main Mama of all Webmeisters!  Have mercy.

The best. The mistress of the massive Copeland Telecommunication Network.  You can't touch her.  She created it.  Maintains it.  Improves it.  And won't stop until we achieve total world domination.

She makes it easy and never has to be told what to do.  She just does IT.

She gets total complete unequivocal credit for everything regarding our site.  Best of all, she KNOWS and loves the music.  We'd be lost without her.

Hire Bev.  She doesn't even mind when you take credit for everything's she's done.  If I wasn't married, I'd fly to Texas and sweep that woman off her feet."

"Beverly is a fantastic individual to work with - she has creative ideas, is very aware of deadlines and a pleasure to work with. Beverly receives information from four different sources for our organization and accurately posts it within minutes! Although she has many other clients, she's so expedient I feel as though we're the only one she works with! She goes a hundred miles an hour! Very personalized service - I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for website services."

"I've worked with Beverly for over ten years now on multiple websites, starting back when I wasn't really sure what a website did.  Beverly was the first person to convince me we should have websites for all of our artists at Blue Sky.  She's always been very knowledgeable, quick, reasonably priced, and interested in always working to make it better and more appealing and fun. Always open for input, and never let's a problem become an excuse."

"Our project was/is massive in nature.  Our history in music goes back at least 60 years, involving many people, and it's continuing to grow with our family.  We have recordings of all kinds and our involvement in music is ongoing.

When Beverly bravely took on the project she honed in on our essence and what we both want and need, from and in, a website.  Professionally, we've loved having the downloadable press kit and easy to navigate product page with samples. We get a lot of feedback from people who have enjoyed the intimacy of the photo album with sound and videos.  Most of all, we've enjoyed hearing from people...all sorts of people...old friends and new.

Beverly Howell, Lone Star Artists, brings soul with her experience to the internet and the business world.  She is a pure pleasure to continue working with as we expand, clarify...Live!"

"The Pocono Blues Festival is all about 2 things -- focusing on real-deal Blues artists that need and deserve wider recognition, and networking this event to people that GET IT!

Beverly Howell played a major part in the event's success during the early years (1995 to 1998) when she hosted BluesChat LIVE. This excellent tool had Blues Fans around the world asking questions on-line with artists that just come off the stage (Luther Allison, Smokey Wilson, Eddie C. Campbell, Bobby Rush, etc.)  This synergy helped make the event what it is today.

I owe a major debt of gratitude to my dear friend Bev for her past and current support of The Pocono Blues Festival."

"Doing business with Beverly Howell is an absolute pleasure. Her years of experience in the music business make her a whole lot more than just a remarkable web designer.  She's innovative, meticulous, unflappable, and always available.  I can't thank Tommy Shannon enough for introducing Beverly to me."

"If you hate telephone menus as much as I do, then you'll love Beverly's service.  It's such a rare pleasure in this and age to have a real person answer the phone, and then for that person to know what she's doing and speak English!

Besides all that, the server seems to be just about bullet proof... I don't remember a time when it has gone out of service."
