I am a firm believer of shopping local, Minuteman press of Malden is one of those places that makes…read moreyou happy they exist. My industry tends to buy in bulk and get all of their printing needs from a printer located out of state. For many years, it was just easier to stay with what you know. More recently however I found out why I like to shop locally. Not only did they deliver my order, but they did it quickly and with a smile. Look everyone knows where this country of ours is headed, outsource everything, NAFTA and the 90's did a number on America, but maybe just maybe there is hope. With a clever name like Minuteman which screams America, and local sourcing and smiles there really is no reason for me to ever call anybody else. Lindsay and her crew are fast, efficient, knowledgeable and priced right. I was a printer for 4 years and know the long hours, customer OK's and general bull@#$ you have to put up with and now that I am on the other end, let me just tell you how nice it is to have someplace like this. No job too big or small and the personal touch that this country so sorely needs and misses. Let's give a big finger to the Walmart's and Amazons of the world and keep this country of ours, and jobs, and revenue in the hands of local businesses. You'll just feel better about yourself. Happy 4th people.....

What this means is, if you are clear about your needs, he will get the work done on time and on budget. On top of that, so much of web/graphic design these days happens behind your back, maybe it's just being pawned off overseas to subcontractors or something? I don't like that. Andy doesn't do that. Andy is VERY local. You've seen him around town, you just don't know that's him. Why even consider a design guy who isn't close by and invested in your community? He wants all clients to succeed, especially local ones, so he'll be a booster for your cause. As for his style? I have been working around graphic designers for the past 6 years. Andy has a command for 2 things in particular. Font & Color. It can be so frustrating to work with a designer who "just doesn't get it", you try to pull them one way and they resist, shrinking back down into their hole... okay, that was a little too colorful, I'll admit, but if you've ever dealt with them, you KNOW what I'm talking about. For the record, he's designed a website, a postcard, and a print ad. I have another designer at my disposal (for free) but they aren't named Truly Good Design.. are they.

While I love the business name "Truly Good" it should actually be Truly Great because Andy is just…read moreextraordinary! I've engaged his services for a number of web projects and each time he's delivered a top notch product. A clear communicator, he's never made a non-techy like me feel dumb as we sorted through options and he passed along instructions. He's understood the goals of each project and suggested elements I didn't even know existed -- making the sites look amazing and my job of maintaining them so easy. He delivers what he promises and makes it happen within budget. We're able to crank through the job without a feeling of being rushed. He's become the go-to person for lots of area businesses I know and I've heard only positive experiences from others. I've moved webhosting over to Truly Good and it's been 100% the right decision -- price was more than right and I know I've got someone capable to handle things if ever needed. Every time I need a web designer or are asked for a recommendation I call on Andy. I love when I have a new project because it's always such a pleasure to work with Truly Good.

Everyone please save your time and money with this place. We came here for the "fast" turnaround…read moretime we were promised 4-5 business days which turned into 2 weeks. Additionally when we received our product, the transfer that they had done all the transfers had fuzz and lint stuck within the image. They said that it's "part of the material" which it's not... it's your poor quality control for not just doing the extra step in lint rolling the garnet before applying the transfer over. Even another customer standing next to me said he saw all the lint within the image of the shirt. One of the shirts the transfer you could see the image is folded over... I could've easily just saved my time and done it with a circuit machine. The crazy thing for the mistakes they made on their end. They will not refund you because there's nothing they can do on their end for that. If you wanted them to fix this. They would peel the transfer off the same shirt and reapply over it. If anyone is smart enough knows that this CAN NOT be done since it already ruins the garment itself. For someone who has been doing this for 11 years, it's sad for the quality of work that you produce as well as the way you treat your customers.

We decided to give a call and chat with them about our very specific needs for our custom wedding invitations. We worked with Renee, who is totally awesome and very tolerant of my general level of insanity when it comes to planning the wedding. She was patient, worked with us and spent a very long time doing math with my fiance to make sure we had our paper sizes correct, and had a great sense of humor. Our invites, RSVP cards, and direction cards all came out perfectly and we are thrilled at how fast and easy it was to set up. The rates were reasonable and we saved a ton of money by designing and printing our own invites rather than buying them through a stationary store or getting them done online. Bottom line: Knowledgeable, friendly and quality-focused. We were really happy with Fleming and would definitely use them again.
