“Kristy has been tireless in guiding us through a complete redesign of our school’s website. She is a thoughtful partner who listens and guided us through the work. She took our ideas, showed us examples that were similar to what we described, and then created a new digital home for us. Thanks to her, we have a clean website that is easy to navigate and visually engaging. Her ability to make our online presence align with our school’s in-person feel has been critical during Covid. She is responsive and professional and so easy to work with. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”

“Kristy did a complete redesign of our old website and designed a second completely new website as well for our organization. We liked the original website we had, but I reached out to Kristy to see what recommendations she had for a redesign and I was blown away by her insight, creativity, and expertise. I ended up deciding to hire her to redevelop our old website, as well as design a second website from scratch. Kristy was swift in delivering both websites; she was thoughtful, creative and insightful; she listened to every detail/change I had; she was always available for questions/changes/issues with any of my websites; she is very professional and efficient, and is an overall incredible person. And a great person to work with! I can't recommend Kristy highly enough. She's amazing!”

“I've worked with Kristy on numerous websites and cannot recommend her highly enough. We connected a few years ago because I had a question about my website and she was quick to give guidance and help with my web issue. She is so knowledgeable, helpful, and supportive - and is always available to answer questions and help. I hired her to do a redesign of two of my websites and to design a third website from scratch. I have worked with numerous web developers through the years and Kristy is the best person I've ever worked with - and can't wait to work with her for years to come. Her creativity, knowledge, insight and recommendations is incomparable. Her work ethic, care and attention to detail, and professionalism are all also par excellence. Kristy is an incredibly talented web developer and her work is exceptional!”
