"I chose Carrie to create my website because her design aesthetic and style appealed to me the most. Most importantly, I chose Carrie because she listens to me and really gets a sense of my style and the brand I'm trying to create. Over the years she's helped me update my look and brand in a way I could never have imagined. She is so patient at teaching me how to load items on my website and is always so gracious to help me fix any mistakes I may have made. She's personable and professional, I always look forward to meetings with Carrie! I receive many compliments on how professional, attractive and navigable my website is. "

As a small business owner, Carrie is someone you need on your team. I feel so fortunate to know my website is in the best of hands. Things are kept up to date and if there's ever an issue, it's handled quickly (and usually without any effort from me!). From design to monthly maintenance, Carrie is so easy to work with and never makes me feel bad for asking questions along the way!
