From the very beginning, Michael’s approach to assisting with my website development was thoughtful and strategic. He took the time to really understand my business and to help me develop branding that fit the unique story of my business. He asked thoughtful questions that made me further develop my developing ideas and future aspirations. We then worked together to translate this into the "look and feel" of my website. We discussed everything from fonts to colors to messaging in a way that took abstract concepts and put them together into a cohesive website that was easy to navigate and aesthetically pleasing.... Thank you, Michael, for making the process of building a website (and my business) easier!
