I don't usually leave reviews, but I feel compelled to leave one for Lisa @ Marketing U as I…read morebelieve she has given me the next big chunk/step/vision for my business to move forward. Lisa's approach is direct & hands-on and she is intuitive and a strong listener. We spent about 35 minutes tossing ideas around (until one clicked). I told her about my industry, and she jumped right in. She had many good ideas and then the particular one that landed well with me. She had to repeat it for it to sink in, but once it did, I was hooked. The idea is not one of overnight success, but rather of cultivating professional relationships & building a network. It will be different for your business I am sure. Anyhow, I am excited with the plan and it is more simple, unique & brilliant then I can state here as she is drawing from proven market research (applied in most cases) in which other companies have already demonstrated success. Lisa is the right combination of smart, thoughtful, calm, techy/contemporary & humane to help people thrive in the competitive marketplace in which we all live. Will be meeting with Lisa again soon. Good luck in your business endeavors.

Why the five stars? Simple: 99 percent of the time I call Almost Everything Communications, someone…read morepicks-up the phone... no voicemail front-line; no sending an email through some anti-spam (anti-contact) interface on their website... an actual carbon-based life form actually answers the phone - what a concept... And that counts when you need a quick update to a site or have a question / issue. Number two reason for the five stars: they design a site for you and teach you how to use it... no monthly subscription service/fee... no hostages here... they hand you the product no strings attached and that is counter to the "residual income" business model that has become the low-standard. AE designed and produced our second-generation website in early 2015 (about a year before this review). It exceeded our expectations but more importantly: - It launched without a single hitch, and just before an important season for our organization. - AE produced the website quickly and did not get bogged-down in the details: movement is just as important as direction. - AE trained us how to use the mechanism behind the site as well as site navigation, allowing us to maintain the site / maximizing the site's potential on our own, in-house, without additional (or ongoing) maintenance expenses. Lastly Tod and Karen make an efficient team. I'll explain: Have you ever worked with a similar "partnership" only to find that one person doesn't seem to know what the other is doing? Or worse, their views/thoughts actually conflict with each-other? The design/execution team are on the same page and that is how professionals operate. Thank you for a practical / useful / modern website: SolanoAvenue,org

Karen and Tod are, hands down, the best web designers in the world…read more We struggled to find a web designers who could truly capture our passion for our business and convey that message with our web site. Karen met with us and after taking time to truly "talk with us", she wrote all our copy and with Tod designed the most beautiful and informative web site for our business. The communication was always open and she looked at all our suggestions, comments and concerns with a professional attitude and eye. I appreciate that she didn't just put things on our web site to please us but made sure all points on the web site would be useful and user friendly. Having her work with us during the entire process made for a beautiful outcome. Did I mention they work with you for several months after your site launches to make sure you and your site visitors are happy? Well, they do! Karen, it was truly a blessing to find you and thank you for helping Majestic Day Spa grow tremendously this past year. Loves it!

I wanted a small business to support my new small business, so I selected Reinhardt Designs to…read morelaunch my new business website and design a logo. Cece was fantastic. I've spent much of my career working with marketing departments, I thought I knew what I was doing but I learned so much from Cece about Search Engine Optimization! She helped launch the site on time, she delivered to her commitments and through ongoing website hosting and monitoring, my business is represented online with a professional site, a logo and a marketing strategy that fits my business objectives. Reinhardt Designs came in at budget, on time and the end product gets positive reviews from my customers and prospective customers. I'm also really happy that Reinhardt Designs is hosting my WordPress site as with the training Cece provided, I can do my own updates for new articles and postings but leave the more complicated and well-designed home page to Reinhardt. I can concentrate on serving and acquiring new customers while Reinhardt Designs takes care of how the world first sees my business. Working with Cece meet my pretty demanding expectations - highly recommended to anyone looking for website design and hosting.

I can't even believe my new website is MINE!! The experience with Reinhardt Designs was easy,…read morecomfortable, and a great value. Cece took the time to get to know my business and vision before starting the site, and she intuitively knew what style would work best. I was updated throughout the process and never left wondering. She also helped me with moving over my hosting, backups, updating my google business stats, and will be working on SEO projects soon! Cece and Brenda kept kept promise to deliver a site I will be proud of for years to come and even taught me how to make little edits as needed. No matter where you are in your business journey, they can work with you. Before having my site built, Cece guided me through improving my old site until I was ready to take the leap and go for the new one! Amazing experience start to finish! Thank you Cece and Brenda!!

I contacted Mighty Minnow because I was looking for a local business to help us update and mobile…read moreoptimize our website. Kristin set up a phone appointment with me right away and gave me very helpful input over the phone. We have a very small business and she suggested that we consider the DIY Website Weekend. I couldn't be happier that I decided to do just that. For a fraction of what we would have paid a designer we got a website that wildly exceeded every expectation and hope I had. Not only that, I am now fully educated and empowered to continue to maintain all aspects of my own website without needing to rely on a third party. Kristin and the teaching assistants did an amazing job with running this class. I came in very prepared with my content, thanks to Kristin's great advice and prep worksheets. And over the course of one weekend my website was nearly ready to launch. Within 48 hours of leaving the class on Sunday, after I made some more tweaks and edits from home, my website was live. And we immediately saw an uptick in contacts! The team leading this class had expertise in all aspects of the website- from coding to appearance. They had helpful suggestions and my site looks more polished and is easier to navigate than when we paid a professional 5 times as much (and spent 6 months going back and forth before launch) in 2014. And everyone at Mighty Minnow was a delight to meet and work with. Plus their offices are lovely and inviting. I would recommend this course to ANYONE in need of a website for personal, small business or non-profit reasons. Could not be happier with the results!!!

She managed to help me succinctly and eloquently say all the things I had been struggling with. She also was instrumental in helping me define exactly what my message was and helped me iron out a few details I had been agonizing over. She's gone above and beyond to help me even after she fulfilled all the original goals we had. I will absolutely be using her again and again as my business grows!

I hired Karen to redesign our storefront of a vegan restaurant in a regional shopping center…read more Karen was able to come up with the new design solution very quickly. Her ideas were so original and attractive, we were able to define the scope of work in a couple of meetings. She exceeded my expectations in every design component which we decided upon. She helped me to find a professional photographer at a reasonable price and worked directly with her to create super-appealing photos of our food. Karen never compromised her artistic standard. She demanded the photographer to continue working on a particular food item even after she had spent hours on it. Karen has opened my eyes about what a food photo should look like. Over the last fifteen years, I have worked with many amateur and professional photographers. I have never met anyone like Karen in terms of artist taste and attention to details. Karen loves her work and truly cares about her clients. She works hard and was able to complete the projection ahead of schedule. She is also an awesome writer. Our new design has a story board about the history and the founder of the restaurant. She was able to tell our story even better than we could. The story she wrote is not only inspirational to our customers but also to our managers and workers. Karen goes extra miles to help the small business owners like me who are short in time. For example, after she finished designing the to-go menu, she sent the design directly to an online printer. And all I need to do is wait for the printed menu to arrive. I cannot say enough good things about Karen. I will certainly contact her first when there is a design project in the future.

In addition, I also had a client of mine who was looking for ghost blogging services and she fit the bill perfectly for them. They had two difficult topics to tackle and she was able to quickly synthesize them into both posts that someone could easily understand and that were buzz worthy. I highly recommend her for both of these types of services.
