Testimonials
From the RFP to project completion, Steve made the process clear and easy for us. We considered other designers/developers, but Steve set himself apart with his direct approach, efficiency, and his websites' design and functionality. Throughout the development phase, Steve was highly flexible, always quick to respond to our emails and calls, delivered everything on time, and gave us great advice on social media. Steve was a pleasure to work with!
Emmett Aiello, WantedMan Works
Steve designed my company's website in the spring of 2011. He did an incredible job. He had some very creative ideas about the design but also created a very easy to navigate yet interesting website. I have received many compliments on the website and have referred many to him and will continue to do so.
Anya Zander, The House of Cards
Steve is a very talented and professional website designer. Not only was Steve easy to work with but, he is very passionate about what he does and was very excited to run with our ideas. Steve always responded as soon as possible and even went out of his way to meet last minute deadlines that were put in front of him. I would recommend him for any web/graphic design job and plan on using him for our future needs.
Brett Settles, Sugar Bee Catering
Steve is a gifted and imaginative designer. He is consistently thoughtful and cheerful and is a great collaborator. I would recommend him for any design project.

I first hired Steve in 2007. Since then I have worked with him to design two websites for my company. I would recommend him to anyone looking to build an identity for their business. I wouldn't work with anyone else!

Steve is a great talent. His creativity as well as his ability to work with all of our preconceived ideas make him a very valuable addition to our team. He has taken 2 half-baked ideas from us and made them into very creative and finished products.
