Morgan Kay
Co-Owner of WP Stagecoach, WordPress developer
I unreservedly and enthusiastically recommend Joyce for her SEO and content marketing expertise. I have been totally blown away by the quality of work Joyce has done for us, and the amount of effort and care she has put into learning our business.
When WP Stagecoach first started working with Joyce, we spent several hours talking about our business, its history, our goals, our audience, and what kind of personality the business should project. She got to know us very well, so that by the time she started writing, we felt like she was a part of our team. She understood even better than we did what we needed, and we have been thrilled with how she has adjusted her writing to match our needs (she even researched cowboy slang to go with our Wild West theme!).
Joyce’s contribution goes way beyond content writing: she has given us some really fantastic business advice, and has asked us some very insightful and probing questions that have made us think hard about how we want to run our business.
From a purely logistical standpoint, she is very well-organized and does a good job of keeping us in the loop about her progress. When we get busy and lose touch with her, she very kindly and gently reminds us of the work we have been doing and keeps us on track.
I can’t say enough good things about Joyce and her work. She has been a huge boon to our business.
Mary Yan
Owner of Mary Yan Counselling Services
Joyce is one of a kind! I thoroughly enjoyed working with her as the copywriter and site developer for my new website. She is creative, thorough, and prompt in all of our communications. She knows about SEO and eMarketing like the back of her hand. She was relentless in making me dig deep about what I wanted for my website and my niche in the counselling field. And she never forgot to make things lighter with a sense of humour.
Alex Shelestov
Owner at Vancouver Scanning Group
I believe that, Joyce has mastered her web copy writing skills at the level beyond any competition.
Besides clear, compelling, and contagious copy, she also suggests great strategy and its best application in your project.
Brent Wilker
Vice President, Business Development at ImageX Media
I’ve never worked with a consultant who cared more about her client’s brand than Joyce. The impact she made on the organization was material, and it was felt immediately. Joyce approaches her work with a degree of focus and conviction that is inspiring to watch. She is relentless in the pursuit of perfection; anything less is unacceptable. I learned more about SEO from working with Joyce in a few weeks than I had after years of reading books and thought leadership on the subject.
If you want the best and nothing else will do, I recommend Joyce in the highest regard.
Glenn Washburn
Owner & Designer at JWL Hardware
I was in search of someone who could help with my company SEO as well as to help clean up the mess that my previous web designers made of my website. Joyce not only setup my site with much needed SEO she was also able to reverse much of the damage, caused by what I consider to be incompetent and sloppy work by others. This was not an easy task. Joyce worked with my budget and prioritized my needs while keeping my company goals in focus. She took the necessary time to understand my business and the issues afflicting it before taking action. This made an accurate and affordable resolution possible. Joyce stands by her work and recommendations. Working with Joyce gave me the feeling for the first time that a consultant was actually looking out for the best interests of my company. That may seem like an obvious requirement from a consultant but in my experience it’s really quite uncommon. As cheesy as it sounds Joyce is a diamond in the rough. I’m very happy to have found her and look forward to working with her more in the future.
Gloria Keith
Customer Support and Admin Manager, Bruce Keith Coaching and Seminars
I hired Joyce as my WordPress web developer and search engine optimization specialist. I wanted to work with someone Canadian, who had the business acumen to take our online presence to a level where it could really represent who we are. Our old site was just not doing justice to our value, credentials or expertise. Joyce changed that for us with a complete overhaul of our entire website strategy.
On our first call, Joyce explained online marketing concepts and ideas that I was impressed with. She also was able to easily point out where the weaknesses were with our current (old) website. She could answer all my questions.
When I hired Joyce, I was even more impressed with the level of detail and depth of analysis that she goes into when carrying out her work. The breadth and scope of how far she will go to do things ‘right’ is vast. She doesn’t leave any stone unturned, if she can find it. I knew she was doing things right because she asked me questions about my site that other people had never asked me before, when I hired them to do the same job.
I can honestly say the best thing about working with Joyce is that I trust her. And I’ve never had that feeling with anyone that I’ve hired to do this before.
After she launched our new site, and re-wrote all our content, we noticed more people getting in touch. We also had compliments on our website. It is so much easier to find information now. I believe she did a really good job, and I would recommend her services to anyone who needs a website, copywriting or any e-marketing.
Barj Dhahan
CEO / Founder at Sandhurst Group
Joyce is an excellent listener and I am impressed with her ability to incorporate my team’s ideas into the redesign of the Dhahan Prize website. Throughout our interactions Joyce was patient and understanding, and she helped us in bringing clarity to our own thoughts. She is a kind and talented individual with technical skills in web design and content.
Roz Screeton
Marketing Manager, TQ Construction Ltd
Joyce is an absolute pleasure to work with. She is an expert and professional in every facet of her business. What really impresses me about Joyce is her ability not only to develop a top notch product, but also to continuously educate throughout the process. When it comes to WordPress, I know ‘just enough to be annoying’, but she took my meticulous inquires in stride and answered every one in a way that not only convinced me that I had made the right choice in hiring her for the development, but also that I had found a true asset to my network, as my confidence in her is affirmed through our working together.
Joyce was hired to develop the WordPress site that TQ Construction has recently launched, and I could not be happier in my decision. She managed to achieve a design that I am pleased with both in function and in fashion, of which you typically sacrifice one or the other unless you are doing excessive proprietary coding. The purpose of a website is to ‘work for you’, and Joyce managed to keep that top of mind for me, without sacrificing the layout that I wanted.
I did my homework to find the capabilities I needed in a developer, but upon interviewing Joyce I found her to be personable, articulate and savvy. Her detailed approach brought me complete peace of mind. I highly recommend her for your web design and development needs.
Julie Wilson
Operations Coordinator at Industrial Revolution
We hired Joyce for a complete rebuild of our WordPress e-commerce website. We worked with her for several months as this was a massive undertaking. She was attentive, professional, timely with deadlines, and extremely knowledgable throughout the course of this project. I would not hesitate to work with her again in the future and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a similar project (WordPress e-commerce developer, or internet marketer)!
Johanna Simmons, MA RCC
President at British Columbia Play Therapy Association
I have worked with Joyce for almost a year and she has been fabulous to work with. Joyce really listened to what I wanted and was looking for in a new website and was able to give my website the look and feel that I wanted. Joyce is very detail-oriented and perseverant making sure that the website functions exactly as it should. She delivers what she promises. This was a difficult project that required many different components working together and Joyce persisted till it all worked seamlessly. Thank you, Joyce, and I look forward to working together on some on-going projects.
Stephanie Wood
Owner, The Tapping Resource Plus
I have totally enjoyed working with Joyce and I highly recommend her! Her attention to detail, depth of knowledge and ability to create my website has been invaluable. Her insights and recommendations of what to do and, more importantly, what not to do, have saved me a lot of time, energy and money. I am especially grateful for her teaching me what I need to know to run my website and for her patience in doing so. I feel very lucky to have worked with her and look forward to future projects and ongoing connection. Her knowledge about internet marketing, SEO and pretty much anything internet business-related are a huge bonus for anyone who chooses to work with her. I have already recommended her to others and will continue to do so. And the icing on the cake is that she is really fun and a pleasure to do business with!
Nicole Heighington, CPA, CA
Founder and CEO of AthenaGrace Financial Services-Financial Coaching, Financial Planning and Accounting
I would recommend Joyce to manage your WordPress Website project!
As a new business, I needed a professional website that I would be able to update after it was launched. After much research I decided to go with WordPress and hired Joyce for the project. I was completely happy with my choice. What I liked most about Joyce was her communication style. She was upfront as to the timeline, budget and expectations for herself as well as for me. I always knew where we stood. The Website Development and Design Proposal and the Agreement was thorough and ensured we both knew the scope of the project. The was no ambiguity which I valued. Joyce herself is a pleasure to work with. She is helpful, extremely knowledgeable and spent the time to really understand my business. From the design and development (including SEO) to the training and launch, I was extremely happy with the results. I have received many compliments on the website and would definitely recommend her services.
Barry Dong
Project Manager at 5U Website
I refer Joyce to clients of mine who need a good English-speaking writer. I have also hired her to polish the writing on my entire website. Her job was to take Google-translated Chinese text, and make it into readable English. However, Joyce went beyond her basic duties, which really impressed our team. In other words, she didn’t just do grammar editing on choppy English. She really concentrated hard to ensure we were communicating effectively in our marketing messaging. She took the time to write creatively, while still getting our core message across. She could see what the Chinese translation was INTENDING to say, not just what it DID say.
Beyond that, Joyce’s technical awareness of our industry brought up important points during the editing process. We went back to edit the original Chinese text based on her feedback. She also took the time to ask us about our business, and made valid suggestions on how we could market our services better with our content.
Joyce’s personality is very professional and friendly too.
We were very happy with the work that Joyce did. I am very confident you will appreciate her as your Vancouver copywriter. I will definitely work with her again.
Michel Khoury
Director at Eastwood International School
Joyce has been a gem to work with. She’s meticulous and extremely knowledgeable in internet marketing strategies; that has helped us build our websites with her. She’s a talented and detail oriented. We love working with her!
BT
(prefers to remain anonymous)
I’ve had the pleasure to work with Joyce on the copy of our website and other marketing channels and promotional materials. She did a great job with the copyediting, always starting with understanding our business and what we want to convey. Joyce is also very reliable, stands behind what she commits to, sets the right expectations, and asks questions whenever she needs to get deeper insight. We’ll definitely use Joyce for our future projects!
Chris Glowienka
National Sales Manager, Multi-Units at Rich Products Corporation
I have known Joyce for many years and would strongly recommend her if you are searching for SEO, Web, WordPress expertise, or any other capability relating to Digital Marketing and Communication. Joyce is highly detail-oriented, highly analytical, and truly has her clients interests in mind when working together. She is an absolute joy to work with, and is a true professional in a very complex field. Hire Joyce…you will not be disappointed!
Catarina Oey, RCIC
Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant
When I started working with Joyce, I could tell that she cares about businesses she works with, and particularly cares about the mission and vision of those businesses. As a small business owner who just started her own company, Joyce was (and is) a joy to work with; her communication was very clear from the start. I knew exactly what to expect in terms of time, budget and outcome. Her insights in Marketing and Website development gave me confidence in her abilities at a whole new level while she was completing my project.
I highly recommend Joyce to everyone who needs a Copywriter or Website marketer, and I look forward to continue working together with her on many other projects of my own!
Michael Pelchovitz
Marketing Strategist
Joyce has incredible insights and experience in building and optimizing websites, and stands as my go-to resource for everything SEO and WordPress Development. She has become a great asset to Mr. G Advertising and brings a new level of expertise to our team. She always brings a positive attitude to every conversation and it is truly a pleasure working with Joyce.
Jay McInnes
Downtown & Vancouver West Side Real Estate Specialist with Macdonald Realty
I updated my business website to a WordPress site, allowing for much more flexible customization than my last web provider. This worked perfectly and allowed my web developers to create my desired aesthetic look. It truly gave me the “unique” site I was looking for. However I noticed right away that the strength of my SEO was not at the same level as my last site, even within a number of months. This prompted me to search out a local Vancouver SEO professional that could help me boost my organic rankings on Google and of course get me found by more potential clients!
I began my search very simply by typing into google “Vancouver WordPress SEO.” Joyce was the first organic search result. To me this is all I needed to see. However I of course needed to meet her to confirm this is someone I would be comfortable working with. I searched her site (https://www.joycegrace.ca) and liked what I saw, so I emailed her right away and set up a meeting.
As a Vancouver Realtor I explained to her where my focus was and what my plans were. She asked me questions about my business & industry to gain a more in-depth knowledge about what it is exactly that I do & what results I wanted from her service. Once meeting her and getting the impression that she was as knowledgable as I initially anticipated we agreed to work together and it has been a great working relationship ever since.
I am constantly impressed by her questions & theory on how to structure the “correct” information on my site to be found as easily as possible by potential clients. Her SEO plan for my site makes sense and I can see how it will fundamentally change the way my potential clients will see much more of me online. She has made this process a very clear and straight forward one & has been extremely flexible & easy to work with. Both having work-late schedules really helps in my situation!
All in all I would recommend Joyce as a prime Vancouver SEO specialist to invest in, bringing your business to the next (online) level and presenting you with a clear and precise path on how to do just that!
Thanks Joyce!!
Jen M.
Owner at Rainforest Learning Centre
To whom it may concern,
I am please to write a letter of reference for Joyce Grace, my web designer. Joyce was referred to myself through a very reputable organization and came with rave reviews.
I knew within my first conversation with Joyce that I wanted to hire her company’s services. I had been researching different Web designers and found they were all the same and I just didn’t know who to trust. Having a company represent my company on the internet takes a lot of trust and being fully aware of the potential implications and horror stories I had heard I wasn’t going to trust just anyone.
From the first meeting, right through the design and build of my web site I have to say Joyce was more thorough than I could have ever imagined. I thought I was a details person however, I learned it was nothing compared to the attention to detail Joyce put into her work. I struggle with my computer at times and had very little understanding of the process and it was only because of Joyce’s patience and professional attitude that we were able to finish the project and create an amazing site. She explained things to me, often going above and beyond, to make sure I was crystal clear on the process and things I was agreeing to.
I had a situation with a photographer I hired on my own and Joyce took time out of her day to help mediate a fair settlement. This was not something that was in her scope of work. She’s just the type of person who cares about her clients and make the experience with her company top notch.
I have recommended Joyce and will certainly recommend her again. It is not often I deal with business owners who care to this extent and I appreciate finding people out there like her. I would recommend Joyce without hesitation and am sure she will continue to put out top notch products as I have received. My web site has a gorgeous design and look but it also reflects every detail I had asked for and all the details she recommended. My clients have expressed how happy they are and my business ratings have increased drastically. That is everything I could have hoped for and more.
Priti Shah
Clinic Director at BC Laser and Skin Care
Joyce is a great WordPress developer and we have worked with her for the past 6 months. We will continue to use her as our SEO WordPress developer for our site. I can recommend that she is honest and trustworthy.
She is timely and takes time to understand your needs and has a focus on details on the site and to the look and feel of the site as if it was her own business whilst listening to the owners.
Glenn Hilton
President/CEO at ImageX Media
Joyce is a very talent writer and web specialist who’s passionate about quality and innovation on the web. Joyce’s depth of knowledge into subject matters like SEO and content strategy are impressive. She leaves no rock unturned in her desire to ensure she properly understands all requirements before she dives into her work. If you’re looking for someone to deliver a quality online marketing strategy for your organization, look no further than Joyce.
Aly Armstrong
Principal Planner at Wild Orchid Event Management / Aly Armstrong Event Planning & Design
Joyce came to my rescue when I was building my new site and could not find the right words. Joyce is an extremely talented Vancouver web copy writer. She took a genuine interest in learning about me, my history, what my company excels at and took the time to pull out what differentiates us from our competition. The process was thorough, and enjoyable. I highly recommend Joyce!
Charlene Ferguson

Brenda Cadman

I’ve known Joyce for a number of years now and have always been impressed by her genuine interest in learning about people and how she can help them. She has a curiosity and thirst for knowledge that I’ve rarely encountered (must be that journalism background! :) ), as well as an ability to make you feel like you’re the only person in the room when you talk with her. She clearly wants the best for people and I have no doubt anyone who spends time with her or works with her will feel that in spades.
Scott Whittington
Land Broker/Owner LandGuys, Illinois

I would recommend Joyce in a heartbeat.
Ken Chen
CEO at Coogobox
It was a pleasure working with Joyce. Her knowledge of SEO and website development helped us a lot.
She was very professional and detailed. In the very first few meetings we had with her, she analyzed our competitors, our market and based on that information developed our website.
She gave us recommendations on how to design our website so that it would be more customer friendly. Joyce also helped us with content and SEO.
We enjoyed working with Joyce as she was always there when we had questions. She was always transparent and she would often recommend what we should do and what she would do if she was in our place. These kinds of open and honest recommendations made us trust her more.
I would highly recommend Joyce.
Kathryn Aragon
Content Marketing Strategist and Editor at Crazy Egg
Joyce has written several articles for the Crazy Egg blog, and they’re always welcome. Her ideas are unique, adding value to the blog without rehashing the same old same old that often crosses an editor’s desk. And she is a pleasure to work with: reliable, detailed, creative, and articulate.
I especially appreciate that she took time to talk with me on the phone before writing for me. It made it so much easier to evaluate her skill and how she could contribute to the blog.
If you’re looking for a smart writer who understands what works today, you should seriously consider Joyce.
Karline Mark-Eng
General Manager, MPS Executive Suites
I first had the pleasure of meeting Joyce Astifan in June of 2009. Our Elite group was looking to completely revamp our existing web site, and needed to find someone who we felt could help us envision this new site.
Joyce listened intently and asked great questions, and came back to our group with her ideas. Joyce’s knowledge in marketing and web site abilities became immediately apparent, and her patience in working with our “non-techy” and “cyberspace-challenged” group was commendable!
I personally was so impressed with Joyce, that I asked her to create a brand new web site for our own centre, MPS Executive Suites. In early 2010, Joyce worked with us to create a new site that helped to personalize our centre’s location and to also reflect the corporate message we wanted presented.
Joyce’s honesty, integrity, attention to detail and sincere desire to be involved and to assist wherever needed, has made her a very valuable member of our extended team. Joyce’s enthusiasm and commitment to follow through and to do the very best that she can at all times is clearly evident in her persona. With her dedication, professionalism and true desire to help others, I have no doubt that Joyce will succeed in everything that she endeavours.
Sincerely,
MPS Executive Suites

Joyce has the ability to spin what I thought was a boring business story into an engaging masterpiece. That’s where I was hooked to find out more. Joyce is an insanely great writer and she also is an expert with WordPress and seo strategies. She is very approachable, friendly and takes pride in delivering on time or sooner than I expected in most cases. If you need writing, editing, websites built, or to figure out social media connect with Joyce. If she can’t do something, (not sure what that would be) she’ll tell you who can.

Christopher C.
President & CEO, SST Wireless
I hired Joyce to redesign the website for SST Wireless, which was originally done by engineers and did not look that great for our marketing purposes. I also wanted to make that my company ranked high on search engines for the the specific market that we target. For that reason, I wanted to hire Joyce as my WordPress web developer.
Joyce and her team delivered a site that I am very happy with ( www.sstwireless.com ) in half the time that it normally takes, as I was preparing for several significant conferences.
She provided the right amount of guidance and sometimes pushed back to make sure that we stayed on target with the original objectives that I had set out. I have re-hired her to develop another full website for a sister company, plus our logo / identity as well as a user interface project for our enterprise software package.
I highly recommend Joyce if you are looking for a talented, hard working and easy to work with Internet marketer in Vancouver, as long as my projects take priority!

She strongly believes in new technologies and methods to keep your web site current and on top.
It’s a pleasure working alongside Joyce, and I recommend her for any project relating to WordPress, SEO, Writing or Marketing.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Joyce a very long time (my whole life)… Okay okay, she’s my big sister, but regardless I could recommend her to anyone looking for an Expert WordPress Developer with the necessary skills of an Internet Marketing Professional.
As a past business to business sales consultant I know that the biggest mistake many businesses make is to develop a website with no SEO capabilities. Joyce has both the skills to develop your website and rank it #1 on Google.
Joyce is my go-to WordPress Expert and happy to have her as part of my team.
Thanks Joyce.

I have hired Joyce to work with my company on an on-going basis. She has been working on my WordPress website and has exhibited exceptional knowledge in the development of the site. She is bright, thorough and reliable and has guided me through the process of gathering information to make the site the best it can be. She has a very strong work ethic that is hard to find these days. In addition, she has helped to strategize and formulate our marketing plans and has a lot of e-marketing knowledge. I would highly recommend Joyce and her quality of work.

Joyce worked for me building my corporate website (QualityHomeInspections.ca) in WordPress, and then following that on Search Engine Optimization (SEO) for the new site.
I’ve always found her to be very helpful; she’s great at keeping in touch and pushing a project along when need be, she offers good ideas and recommendations to resolve road-blocks, and she’s creative and willing to go the extra mile in order to get something done. Joyce is a solid resource and she delivers when and what she promises.

I have hired and worked in collaboration with Joyce Astifan for more than 2 years now and it’s always a pleasure to recommend her service to my business partners.
Joyce is very knowledgeable in regards to creation of web sites and implementation of e-marketing strategies.She is passionate by her work and continuously challenge herself to keep updated with new e-technology tools and the opportunities it brings to her clients/employers.
Once she understand your needs and where you want/need to go, she will dedicate herself to this task and won’t let you down. She’ll focus on SEO and ROI until you succeed.
Something else that I really appreciate from her is how she manage to explain me very complex and abstract concept in a simpler manner. It makes me feel a little more intelligent ;-)
Best,
