Stacey M., Owner of Stacey M. Designs
"...I had zero experience with creating an online class and no knowledge of learning management systems. William and Chantel were amazing. They offered suggestions to help make the lesson work for elementary age children. In addition, they were responsive, met deadlines, and offered fair pricing. They were both always professional throughout the process. I highly recommend Dean Designed Learning for instructional design."
