“Drew was recommended to me by someone I trusted, and he came through. I needed a new website to launch myself as an independent consultant. Drew quickly set up the structure we needed to communicate about the project, and involved a very capable graphic designer to develop the look and feel of the site. Once the graphic design was done, Drew developed the site and trained me on the WordPress back-end interface where I’ll be updating the site over time. Drew is competent, responsive, and easy to work with. I now have a professional site that has earned rave reviews from those with whom I have shared it.”
