Dinah Kappus, Brockton Homes, Inc.I really appreciate being able to go to your website and watch a recorded session to figure out how to fix something or add a detail that is something new. I have used your index, and gone directly to the topic and found an answer very quickly in most cases, and sometimes in an instant.

Gayle SandersThe powerful part of your web site is that you come across as a real human being who uses Chief and knows how to get Chief to do whatever is needed in a project. This is what distinguishes you from CA support/training. CA focuses on the individual actions (what icons do what), you focus on how to get Chief to build whatever is needed for the real world project at hand and how to do it efficiently.
