I opened a real estate company two years ago, and needed cheap signs. I found Andrew's site and was compelled to call him when I saw the tagline: "Champagne signs on a Riunite budget." Andrew is awesome - he goes above and beyond and makes you laugh too! He gave us tips and even helped us with getting the most with our small budget. When you need signs, you should call him.

The website is fun and reflects their good humor. The signs that are produced by LA Graphix are eye catching! Andrew was wonderful to work with. Our signs were here BEFORE EXPECTED & looked FABULOUS!!!

What this website is, is marketed to the folks who use lawn signs that need to catch the publics eye. Real estate, political and fundraising event promoters use KillerSigns.biz to do just that. They get results because they are flashy! So that's why the website follows suit! The signs are a great value and made all of our high school fundraisers in Connecticut a success. Andrew, the owner has always been flexible, fast, honest and fair. If the website is not as professional as Kevan would like it, then that's okay. I'd rather have Andrew spend his time and money with his clients rather than on hiring a fancy website designer that won't get him anymore reuslts than he's already getting. Besides, he's built a word of mouth and repeat business that this website supports, not drives.

When I ordered signs, KillerSigns.Biz got my attention. I was not looking for a web designer, I was looking for an original sign. The product I received was excellent and the service was both courteous and quick. I highly recommend the guys at LA Graphix and Killersigns.Biz to trust your original designs and service delivered as promised. Killersigns.Biz may choose to upgrade their site to something "Kevan" approves of, but personally, I'd prefer my sign guy to stick to what he does best -- designing and making high quality economial products with quick delivery.

I am in Iowa and order from Killersigns in Florida. Andrew can design from scratch or redesign a boring old sign. His prices are VERY competitive. He redesigned some RE/MAX signs and we are getting great comments from the public. I would NEVER get a website from this company, BUT I do recommend their signs to everyone outside of my market! The website reflects Andrew's personality - great fun, and a little bit spazzy :-) I agree with fearless. I am in Iowa and order from Killersigns in Florida.

The original designs are fresh, not to mention FREE, and the product is not only first quality but is delivered in a timely manner. I order from them from way out of Florida, and I would recommend them to anyone (except my competition!) Try them yourselves...you'll see!
