“Chris is attentive to detail and is always looking for ways to enhance the sites we support. When we needed to update dozens of online documents to interact with a new search engine we were installing, Chris jumped in, learned the software, and had the task wrapped up in a matter of days.” – Bill Wilkinson

“I’ve had many comments on how professional the MVM website is from clients and browsers. It’s easy to read, navigate, and select options. Plus, it’s an attractive design that reinforces the company’s demeanor. Chris was a pleasure to work with and gave us the right package.” – Craig Gildner of MetroVoice Media

“From a short brainstorming session, Chris can draft designs for sites that are usually right on target for the project.” – Barb McCuen, Online Communications Manager (Former), CASE

“I gave Chris an impossible deadline. He met it, and then exceeded my expectations in creativity and accuracy. I wish everyone worked with his kind of enthusiasm!” – Tiffany Willden of Tiffany Willden

Chris took my vision and made a stylish, unique site that reads and navigates well. Plus, the updates are done in no time and are affordable. The site looks like it cost thousands of dollars more.” – Craig Gildner of Blue Sky 5
