The results

How does the client feel about it?

Our company website, which we had paid another web design firm to build, was not loading properly, and eventually crashed after only a few months of operation. We discovered the website was poorly constructed and needed to be rebuilt. After just paying a company to design our website, it was difficult to trust another company to do the same thing again, but Patrick was reliable, easy to work with, well priced, and delivered all that he promised!
