Ari and his team are absolutely fantastic to work with - their communication, timeliness and incredible creativity are exceptional. They took a very basic website showcasing grants and elevated it to the next level so now it looks professional, beautiful and functional. The user experience is simple and intuitive and the site easy to navigate. Ari is a very talented artist and brings this flair to all his design work. I recommend HelloAri design without reservation. read more

I have been looking for someone to help me with my website for months. I put it together originally and have made lots of mistakes along the way. My company is a non profit. I don't have lots of money to spend as we don't take administrative expenses from donations, And I didn't want my website to look too slick. Luckily I found HelloAri Design! Ari scheduled a telephone meeting with me. He spent lots of time in that first meeting giving me suggestions - figuring out the best way to accomplish fixing my website and correcting the "structural" errors. A new set of eyes and great ideas! Just what I needed. He also suggested ways to save money. Ari and his team went above and beyond to get the job done quickly and efficiently. I am so happy with the final result. I'm hoping I can keep up with the blog posts and changes I'll need to make as we go forward. But I know I can come back and get more help if I need it! On top of all of this - Ari made the price for my project affordable. Now my non profit shows the world a much more finished look! Big thanks Ari and team! read more

I contacted Ari Salomon two years ago at my wife's goading after a miserable six-month-long overpriced experience working with a team of "experts" that failed in every aspect of webdesign and customer service. HelloAri took my website and modernized it, not only with a practical eye toward creating an optimal experience for visitors to my site, but they also realized the artistry I was aiming for to best present my collection. They also taught me (at my request) how to modify the back end of the site which allows me to update and post content. Despite my website being loaded with graphic content and material, Ari's team created a seamless user interface for the smartphone. My point person on the team, Atanas, responds quickly to inquiries and has an impressive knowledge of software issues, cloud services, email, etc. I highly recommend HelloAri and my only regret is not contacting them initially! read more

Once again, back to Ari to clean up a website build by someone else that had all sorts of kludge, disentangle from a group of GoDaddy add-on services and expenses, trim the design and increase the responsiveness of the web page, make it load and fly on mobile, and keep us out of the woods of spam banning by implementing a MailChimp opt in feature for our website sign ups. AND; he's super responsive and technically superb. Thanks Ari! read more

Ari is an expert at all things related to website design. He turned my rough drawings into a conceptually creative and highly functional website--it was exactly what I was hoping for. Over the years, he's modernized my site and is now helping me completely rebrand it now that I'm starting a new business. Ari is always available to help me, offers great perks for his ongoing clients (website hosting and maintenance), he has specialists on his team who can provide additional insight about SEO and more, and he's just such a nice, supportive, funny person. I'm so lucky to have the benefit of his expertise! read more

The Roxie Theater team cannot recommend Ari enough! As a non-profit arts organization finding a reliable partner for our website has been incredibly valuable. Ari and his team are reliable, friendly, and helpful when issues arise. Do yourself a favor and reach out to Ari to see how he can help with your website needs. read more

Look no further than Ari for web design! In addition to being amazingly creative, he is very responsive to requests for additions and edits on the website. Using Google Hangouts, you can also share your screen with him while he is offering instruction on getting behind the scenes in WordPress. He's an overall genius and equally as thoughtful and lovely to work with! read more

I started my search for a local web designer on Yelp -- I didn't want some out-of-town conglomerate. Oddly, I noticed they all had 5-star reviews. Then I noticed Ari had *fifteen* five-star reviews. Still I figured okay let's not be hasty, and I picked three or four others to visit anyway. There was no need. Some were only into doing the design themselves (I had my own idea). One was great but cost close to 9 times more than Ari. Then there was this woman Veronica who didn't tell me she was billing $75 for the initial meeting till after we had it! Ari, you've probably read in the preceding reviews, is great with web novices. But he's also great coordinating with others specialized in web arcana, as I needed in working out one of my pages with a custom java applet (http://www.actual-size.com/ingredients/). Hire Ari Salomon. He's good. He's honest. He's fast. And he doesn't even bill for all his hours. read more

I discovered Ari here, on Yelp and was very happy with the work he did for me. He is truly a modern graphic and sign craftsman. A one stop shop for image work, printing and signs (etc.). It was great to have someone knowledgeable talk me through my options in regards to materials and colors for my large overhead sign, sandwich board signs and window vinyl. Although, I went to Ari with a design in place, it is apparent from the work he's done (See website) and his artistic manner that his personal design and layout work equal in quality to his outstanding printing and Vinyl work. read more

I'm shopping around for a web designer, for my companies very first website. I gave Ari a call, without any prior knowledge of how to go about setting up a website, and he just spent the last 30 minutes giving me a run down of how i could go about setting one up and explaining what was involved - alllllll the while not pressuring me to use his services or getting annoyed with my stupid questions! helloari gets 5 stars for great customer service and consulting... but ill update after he puts the actual site together for me. read more

Highly recommended designer and excellent signage and vinyl. Met him at my last job and still use him at my new one. Thanks Ari! read more

If you are looking for a great web designer you have come to the right place. Ari really knows his stuff! He was able to put into easy to understand terms simple things that I could do to update my website with tremendous results. He turned my old outdated website into a stellar web presence which accurately depicts the growth of my business. As a bonus, he even checks my growing site for bugs and glitches along the way! Working with Ari has truly been one of the best things I have done for my business. The new web site he has created has had an amazing domino effect that has really contributed to the success of my company. I highly recommend working with Ari. It's a smart move to make. read more

Ari has a unique combination of creative and technical abilities and seems to be capable of anything. He's extremely balanced and a pleasure to work with. He thinks deeply about the right approach to problems and is a great listener. I'd highly recommend him for any project you need done! read more

Ari was extremely patient and helpful with my frantic last minute request for vinyl lettering. I always hesitate to write reviews about last minute things--one hates to encourage that... But Ari exceeded my deadline by days, and the work was perfect. Thank you so much! I will definitely be going back and reccommending HelloAri! read more

My old business partner and I have used Ari for many years. He helped build our websites and seamlessly managed all the back end hosting and techy stuff that we have no clue about. In addition to providing excellent service, he's always been very responsive and I would personally recommend him without reservation. -mike read more

Still with Ari. And I still would take a bullet for him. He continues to keep my sites relavent and well used.

As a nonprofit with a limited staff and tight budget, we were looking for an efficient way to manage our website - Wordpress was the answer, but we didn't have the tools, design aesthetic, or resources to get it underway. Ari was the perfect solution. He worked WITH us, was extremely accommodating, has a keen attention to detail, made suggestions based on his expertise (and our lack thereof), answered any and all questions efficiently, and was easy to work with the whole way through. Our website is up and looks GREAT. We're excited to be able to update content on our end, while knowing that Ari is there on the back end for any additional support. Thanks for the great partnership, Ari! read more

Ari is awesome! I originally contacted him about 2.5 years ago because I needed a new website page for my business. He listened to my needs and quickly designed a website not only tasteful, extremely functional, and suits perfectly to what I needed. Since then, he has been maintaining my practice's website as well as my business' email account. He always responded to my questions and concerns extremely and solved extremely promptly. Whenever I contacted him for any IT/website-related questions, he would always try his best to help me out. He is a talented professional with a lot of integrity. Better yet, his fees are very reasonable. I would definitely recommend his service to anyone! read more

I've worked with Ari for the past six years, and recommend him enthusiastically!! As a startup that has been through a few ups and downs, Ari has had our back and has ensured our web presence is top notch. I'll pile-on to the other reviews; it is hard to find a more well rounded, technically solid, easy to work with, cost effective, creative, hard working, and thoroughly decent partner on web site than Ari and his team. If Yelp did 6 stars, this review would be my first to award 7. read more

Ari has been a great help to me over the years. I continue to hire his services based on consistent high-quality work and broad expertise. He adapts quickly and works well with various internal teams, from marketing to design and engineering. I always feel relieved when I have Ari on a project! read more

HelloARI design. I've worked with Ari on business identity, signage, website design. He is extremely accessible, professionally managed my expectations (budget and time), delivered on schedule, and, most importantly, guided us through the creative process of converting our values and desires into manageable choices. He was too affordable, and too conscientious, but I want to work with him again. read more

Ari runs a flawless hosting service. Fast and reliable. Done!

Ari is the best. He set up my website for me in 2007 and has been hosting and maintaining since then. He has done everything from making necessary updates to providing suggestions from aesthetic to technical matters, meeting with me to advise on SEO, done google hangouts sharing screens to show me tricks and plugins in wordpress.. he is truly a one-stop-shop when it comes to design and development and I'm so grateful he shares his expert brain with the world. He is also professional, responsive, and lovely to work with. read more

Ari is brilliant. He's created vinyl signage for me for many places and then he installs and it's always pixel perfect and installed perfectly even. He knows a lot about a lot of things so sometimes I ask him for advice about something just because he might know the answer or know someone who knows the answer. read more

Working with Ari has been an absolute pleasure and dream. He embodied all the qualities and skills I was looking for in a web developer/designer including wonderful personal qualities - he's highly responsive, helpful, easy to work with, articulate, skilled, and gave us everything we were seeking in a website and more. He was able to articulate visually exactly what we asked for. Our website just launched today for CommunityConcernForCats.org - and we could not be happier. Thanks Ari! read more

Ari is one of those people who has turned out to be a total Yelp score. He had amazing reviews so I tried him out. All the good reviews turned out to be totally spot on. Honestly the web project that I had for him was very involved. I feel like I gave him a pretty big project that needed lots of custom details. I am totally blown away by the finished product. I think Ari has so many positive reviews because it is very difficult to find someone as well rounded as he is. It is not easy to find someone who is a great coder, but also a great designer, who also has strong business/customer service skills! He is a rare find. Thank you so much Ari for what you did for my company, and I look forward to a long business relationship with you. read more

Ari rebuilt our website in Wordpress and did a fantastic job! He suggested excellent improvements and has been super supportive through the whole process. I recommend him highly for web hosting, websites and more--the guy is super knowledgeable and gets the job done--which is incredibly helpful to a small business person who is juggling a million things. read more

In a word, Ari ROCKS! It's starting to sound cliche on this page, but really and truly this man is the consummate professional and just a great guy to work with. So responsive, so forward-thinking, helpful and thorough. Plenty more positive adjectives to go but you get the idea. You will not be disappointed. read more

i am very pleased with the outcome of Ari's work. our business has been so much easier with his intelligent designs and upgrades to our website. superb work!! read more

I have hired Ari for my website, my business card, my business signage and for my clients. He produces high-quality signs and aesthetically eye-catching designs. He is also very smart and technically savvy, but always generous with his time and knowledge. Thank you Ari! read more

I had to go through multiple different web designers (solo & companies) before I found Ari and his staff. They do *FLAWLESS* work. His schedule would've been right on time if it wasn't me holding things up periodically. If you want a professionally displayed website with insight as to what does and what doesn't work - along with how to best display it - Ari is your guy. Ari, Im extremely glad I came across you! Thanks!! read more

Ari is truly a professional. Very skilled and knowledgeable, not just about "techy" stuff, but also the ins and outs of setting up a site or blog for functionality and results. Very customer oriented with fast turn-around times. He helped me with my WordPress blog and did a great job. I was paying him by the hour but because he really knows what he is doing, the hours were kept to a minimum therefore the fees were very reasonable. read more

ari was responsible for executing our website. we solicited several bids on the job, and ari's bid stood out head and shoulders from the rest. reading through his bid it became abundantly clear that he had taken the time and energy to think thoroughly and clearly through the entire project in an effort to understand its scope and potential problems. none of the other vendors had combed through it in such detail nor had thought through and prepared for the myriad issues that could complicate the project. it was a no brainer to hire him. his attention to detail did not end there. he handled the entire job with the same level of care and detail as the original bid. his competence afforded us trust in the process and allowed us to focus on the important aspects of the project that we needed to, making everything proceed much more smoothly. things went without a hitch. i highly recommend ari. he is conscientious, fair, smart, creative, professional and just plain fun to work with. what more could you ask for? thanks ari! dav read more

Great guys! Very professional, prompt and smart. Highly recommended for all services you might need for your website.

Ari helped me talk through a website rebuild project for a non-profit member-driven organization. He is really well informed about options available through WordPress and third party plug-ins. He is also knowledgable about SEO. He helped me think through some of the complicated variables and get a better understanding of the scope of the project. He was easy to talk to explained things in a really clear way. I am so grateful for his help. read more

Ari is fabulous! We have used him extensively on redoing/updating our website AND also his skills as a sign maker. He has done some great vinyl signage for our company. Ari was professional and super easy to work with. He was patient and understanding even though we kept making changes- a lot of them. Use this guy! read more

Ari has been hosting, updating, and maintaining my website since 2013. Not only did he build me a fantastic website, but he is also on top of his emails with a very quick response time to my questions, and is up to date on site maintenance. I feel really secure having him host my site, knowing that he has backups if it breaks or is hacked. I've really never had to worry about whether my site is working properly, and as a business owner who relies on my site for income, that is a lot of weight off my shoulders. I am happy my site is in good hands! read more

I was very, very impressed with Ari's work and his level of professionalism. My request was to redesign and reformat a website, transfer content, and add a lot of new content. He worked quickly and efficiently to do this, but more importantly, he taught me in great detail how to make these changes myself. Not only is he very smart, fast, and knowledgeable, he always got back to me re: my requests, typically within an hour or 2. Unheard of! I also felt like he went beyond the call of duty to make sure that my site was something that I could be happy with in the long-term. Use him. www.drjoshuacoleman.com read more

Ari's work is fantastic! Not only has he helped me out with web design and WordPress issues, but he's also a resource for me for cut vinyl wall graphics and signage. I never have to worry if my project is going to be finished on time, and his quality can always be trusted. I love having Ari as part of my team! Oh, and definitely check out his personal work. I saw some new pieces of his at the Oakland Art Gallery last month and they were the highlight of the show. read more

Ari was instrumental in getting our company website switched to a new platform. He was able to accommodate all of our many design requests, find solutions to problems, make recommendations, provide training on using the new software and more. He was patient, knowledgeable and timely in his responses so we could continue to move forward with adding content and meet our schedule for launch. I can highly recommend his company and services. read more
