As a female business owner running a publication, the developer repeatedly minimized serious functional issues by labeling them as merely "cosmetic." In reality, these were not cosmetic issues at all--they impacted presentation, credibility, and the integrity of a live publication platform. For a business website, particularly a magazine platform, those details matter. Unfortunately, this interaction revealed a deeper issue: a lack of respect for the client's standards and vision. The implication that these concerns were simply "cosmetic" reflects a misunderstanding of professional publishing and the expectations of a serious business owner. Ironically, this experience will likely become material for a future editorial discussion in my magazine's upcoming issue, as it highlights a broader and very real conversation about professionalism, accountability, and how female-led businesses are sometimes dismissed in technical industries.

I chose them because I felt confident they could deliver the results we wanted, and they did. From the start, Brian took the time to explain every step of the way and made sure he understood our vision. He made all the changes we requested and offered helpful suggestions/guidance for better options. I would definitely recommend Brian and his team for web design!

It was interesting to know that she was waiting for me to connect with her, or that she knew it was going to happen! At first I was hesitant, but then realized that I had nothing to lose and perhaps she might be able to help me and give me peace of mind. We first chatted through facebook and she asked me a few questions and told me some things that bothered me which was I wanted to talk to her in the first place! After our conversation, we agreed to meet and follow through with the reading. She's very welcoming and kind, her energy is relaxing. I didn't feel tense at all, it was like I was just conversing with one of my friends! She started off with some things that really freaked me out because they were so true. She suggested to me things to do to better my relationship with others. I must say they really helped. My relationship with my significant other is better, and my family as well. I learned a lot from meeting with Janelle, and I'm hoping that others will too! She always told me that not everything is set in stone, and it's up to me to plan my future but it was nice to know that some of the things I wanted in my future were going to be there and that's very reassuring. We don't know how exactly I'll get there, but it's there. Recently, she chatted with me through Facebook just to check up on how I was doing, and I told her everything that's happened ever since our first meeting. It was so surprising to know that she had a sense of what was happening with my life recently, and again she did not fail to give me peace of mind with the ultimate goal that I set for myself! It seems as though when I'm at my most doubtful times, she's there to tap me on the shoulder to let me know that I'm doing alright.

She was able to walk me through my options for a non-profit platform, letting me choose the specialized design that I felt worked best for me and my nonprofit. As a whole their expertise is beyond just websites. Janelle has guided me through the technical parts of owning and maintaining a website on multiple occasions, for both of my businesses, (both built on Wordpress, an easy to use platform). The on-going support has been what I would consider to be the most useful as she is there immediately to answers my questions and concerns anytime I ask, and to solve any issues that I might have with my sites. I highly recommend such personalized support.

I hired Dan for a redesign of one of my sites and he was pretty much what he advertises: competent, responsive and reasonably priced. He met the deadlines that we set and did a good job creating a clean, well-designed site. Regrettably, web design and maintenance is getting increasingly complicated and companies like Dan's are more important than ever. I feel good about my experience with him and just wanted other small businesses to know that SWS is a valuable resource.

When I contacted them they were very friendly and made it easy to get things moving. I emailed them all the information needed to prepare my cards. Upon review of the proof which they emailed to me, the cards were ready in less than a day. They offered me a choice of shipping the cards to me or picking them up. Their building is a bit old and has a very nostalgic feel to it. Just standing in the building I felt that I had stepped back in time a bit and wondered about all the items that must have been printed in this facility. When I met the staff they were very personal. Unlike going into a Kinkos or other "chain" store, these people genuinely cared about providing a quality product and it showed. When I picked up my cards I had said they turned out even better than I had expected and I'm still raving to others about the quality. They might be a little more expensive than other "chain store" printers, but like anything else, you get what you pay for and for me, the business card is usually someones first impression and for some, it might be their only impression if they don't get a chance to talk to you directly but are just given a card and with a card printed from DeFrance, you are clearly going to present a good first impression. Great service, great staff and great product. I'll be back!
