Testimonials

“What a difference! With patience, understanding, cost-effectiveness and efficiency, Astonish Me Creative’s Bryce Wastney has transformed my website to be the effective marketing tool that I need it to be.”

Grant Norsworthy

More Than Music Mentor

“I have just had Bryce develop my new website and I could not be more happier with it. Within 12 hours of going live, I had taken my first book orders and received my payments… all as smooth and as easy as possible. Bryce designed my website to my capability and to the functionality I needed, which means I can manage it well and he also created a site that allows me to promote my book, market the outcomes, monitor the trending and in essence, it acts as my front of house. His ongoing support and availability answer any questions only adds value to his skill set. I cannot recommend him highly enough.”
