I have had the opportunity to work with David as a colleague and now as his client, and both experiences have been exceptional. When David approached me to have a website I was less than enthusiastic. As a communications specialist I know the work it takes to create and maintain a site and since I had not needed one for the last 8 years I thought why start now... And then I decided to launch a new company.
I have now experienced, first hand, how David's knowledge and skill goes well beyond that of web designer. I consider myself fortunate to be able to tap into his knowledge of building a business. Our conversations are always focused on moving my business forward. The ideas we discuss make me think about what the next step should be in marketing my new venture and in the development of new service offerings. Everything is interwoven and intertwined in a way that is actually fun. David has been instrumental in creating a site that is all me, in that it captures the essence of who I am in a professional manner and at the same time we have generated ideas that will propel me to the next level in developing my new business venture.
Highly intuitive in his ability to sense what is required to make a business thrive and technically savvy, David's skill and talent lies in his ability to listen and ask the right questions so that he understands what I want to accomplish, and then outline the stepping stones to achieve my goals without it becoming a burdensome task. He is a one stop shop for business and web development as well as online e-marketing, who could ask for more.
Lisa J. Weiss,This project started as a simple design job to expand an existing blog into a comprehesive website while still maintaining some of the elements that made the original site popular. It evolved into a series of business coaching meetings that expanded on the original theme and resulted in a wonderful on-going business relationship.
We here at Dale Hogan Photography were fortunate enough to have David take on our web project. He combed through our site code making it more efficient with the net result of faster load times and better cross browser compatibility. If he’d stopped there we would have been thrilled with his work. However, he didn’t stop there. He went above and beyond our expectations.
Leveraging his years of experience in coding, marketing and business coaching he provided rubber meets the road suggestions that helped us see our market, our customers needs and our goals more clearly. Again, David surprised us by implementing real world solutions for his suggestions. This has had a very positive affect on our users experience. One example of his outstanding handiwork is our pricing page. What used to be a convoluted maze of information is now presented in a clear, concise, actionable layout.
We’re thrilled and would strongly endorse David. He has helped us immensely by consistently delivering above and beyond our hopes. He’s provided us with business coaching, marketing expertise, user experience improvements, coding and optimizations. David is always up to whatever task we throw at him. I can think of no one better for the job of putting wheels on our business plan. He’s a pleasure to work with and an incredible resource. Ask us if you should hire him and we’ll give you a resounding “YES!”.

"One of the keys to successful coaching is patience, and David has it in abundance. When he says 'Tech Talk in a Non-Tech Way' he means it. What were probably minor technical business issues to David seemed overwhelming and unintelligible to me until he guided me through it all... often more than once for the same issue. Now that is patience."
