What I find even more troubling is the level of contempt and dismissiveness displayed during this…read moreprocess. 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.

As a business owner, I've worked with several creative agencies across different disciplines;…read morearchitects, interior designers, brand developers, and web designers, on projects that were critical to my business success. Each time I complete one of these engagements, I'm reminded of the risk in partnering with a creative agency. You're essentially integrating an external team into your business for months while they work to understand your vision, goals, and industry, all while creating something pivotal to your organization's future. The reality is that an effective design partner needs far more than just great taste. They must be detail-oriented, process-driven, technically proficient, and have deep market knowledge, flexibility, and confidence. KHD has all this and much more. This has been an exceptional experience. I believe we created something significantly beyond what I could have achieved on my own or with a lesser agency, and the value I received substantially exceeded my investment. My partnership with KHD has been transformative for my brand and business, and I would recommend them without hesitation to any business owner seeking a creative partner who truly understands the stakes involved in this kind of collaboration.

I LOVE working with Sarah Hess Designs. She's actually gone over a few sites with me for multiple…read morebusinesses and volunteer organizations I am a part of. She's helped me with Search Engine Optimization, design, implementation and minor changes after everything was done. For each company, she talked to me about the different website templates and management systems available so that we could figure out what worked best for it's application; she didn't have that one size fits all look at the websites. She really wanted to make sure each site was using the right tools for the goals. Super easy to talk to whether you are tech savvy or total layperson. I have worked with many websites over the last decade, and she knew that, so we were able to talk tech jargon on stuff I understand, but then she would explain to me the stuff I didn't. She taught me many dos and don'ts... albeit I was DOing a lot of DON'Ts before - OOPS! She really is as good as it gets when it comes to getting everything handled from start to finish. I'm not one for rushing work to get done, and I don't think she is one to rush. She really puts out the feeling of "Quality over Quantity" attitude. OH! And another thing; actually super duper important in my book. She kept in touch with me throughout the whole process. I prefer to have an update every day or two versus assuming everything is going OK. Phone calls for the stuff that needed attention right away, and emails for the things I could think about for a day or so. Thank you SH Designs! Can't wait to talk again!

I recently received a reading from Janelle a few months back and it was so weird because I…read morepersonally was the one who messaged her first on Facebook. 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.

He gave me the needed template/direction to start compiling the content (photos, project descriptions, bio's, text, etc).

Their pricing is very reasonable and he can do the simplest of sites to very complex interactive sites. The site structure is also very accommodating to my very fluid business needs.
