what my clients are saying...

I've served over 300 clients since I began developing WordPress websites in 2011. While some of my jobs encompass the development of an entire website, many others are custom coding on established sites. Here is a selection of feedback from clients of all project types.

“I am Gretchen’s biggest fan! I have struggled for years to find an IT person who communicates well and follows through on their word. Gretchen has been wonderful about communicating with me frequently regarding my needs and my goals. She is also very resourceful and if she does not know the answer to a problem, she will find it. She is a pleasure to work with!”

-Alicia Young, New Journey Press

“Working with Gretchen was exactly what I needed to take my loose collection of ideas and turn it into a website beyond what I could have imagined.  I wish I had done it a year ago!  Gretchen is a master at her craft and so well informed about the technology side of site, hosting, plugins and more.  If you know you want a blog or website, but are hesitating moving forward because you don’t have it all figured out, wait no more and contact Gretchen.  She is kind and patient, professional and talented, and an absolute joy to work with!”

–Wendy Anderson Schulz

“I highly recommend Gretchen for redesigning (or designing) your website, solving technical issues, and advising about best options going forward regarding your site. Gretchen is so easy to talk to, exceptionally knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. Everything technical feels daunting to me, yet when Gretchen explained something, it made sense. Gretchen patiently helped me understand how to maneuver behind the scenes on my website, which now saves me so much time. I am thrilled with her work and very grateful to know her.”

–Teresa D. Glenn

“Gretchen has been wonderful to work with. She is very prompt with answering my questions and has helped with the tech side of things with my website. She does a great job of explaining things to me in wording that makes sense and easy to understand. She is my go-to person when I have technical issues or questions.”

-Sara, Learning for a Purpose

“Working with Gretchen has saved me so much time (and my sanity)! She is not only knowledgeable but incredibly responsive and fast. I’d definitely recommend hiring Gretchen to take care of your website so you can get back to the parts of your business you are good at and enjoy.”

-Corey, Hey There, Home

“Working with Gretchen has been an absolute life-saver for me! After moving my blog from one platform to another, I had a lot of technical and design issues that needed resolving. Thankfully, Gretchen was there to help and continues to be so. She’s knowledgeable, patient, prompt, and always wonderful to work with.  I can’t recommend her enough!”

-Tricia, A Rosy Note

“I have so appreciated having Gretchen ‘in my back pocket’ for all variety of tech issues! It is invaluable to have someone so skilled and responsive. It’s so easy to go down a tech rabbit hole trying to fix and change things on my website…with Gretchen, that frustration is gone! I highly recommend her to anyone!”

–Tessa the Domestic Diva

“Even though I have had a WordPress site for years, working on it has always intimidated me. Even pulling together the elements for a beautiful site brought out the worst in me. Then a fellow author introduced me to Gretchen Louise. She has been patient, quick to help, and as well as got us the turnaround we needed in the time we needed it. Timing is everything when launching a book. Gretchen was right on time and more!”

-Lynn Cowell, Loved & Cherished

“Gretchen Louise is my absolute go to person when I have a challenge on my website. If she can fix the issue, she lets me know. If not, she gives me options. Her pricing is fair. Her turnaround is quick. And, she’s fully transparent with what she can and can’t do. I feel really super lucky to have Gretchen because when I have an issue, I trust her implicitly.”

-Ally Phillips, Ally’s Kitchen

“Working with Gretchen has been a game changer. She is knowledgeable, reliable, communicative, and patient. It’s such a relief to have someone I absolutely trust with my site—I know I can go to her with questions or ideas and she will work tirelessly to help me execute my vision. I’m so lucky to have found her!”

–Melissa Bowers

“Before I met Gretchen, I used to do everything on my website myself. Even though I didn’t have any experience with coding, I would spend hours (and sometimes even days) researching how to do something ‘simple’ like inserting Google code. It was frustrating! I was spending my time and resources on technical tasks when I could have been helping my readers.

“Once I met Gretchen, everything changed. She’s my go-to person for anything technical. I just send her an email to help me out, and within a day or so, she has completely resolved my issue. This lets me spend my time doing what I love (and avoiding all the technical tasks that I don’t).”

–Sarah Stockett

“Gretchen has proven herself to be a dependable and adept problem-solver in our work together. She assists me in troubleshooting and resolving any unexpected website issues that arise. I have also come to trust her advice and recommendations for planned website changes, projects, and upgrades in functionality. Gretchen is always professional and efficient in resolving any website issue, upgrades, build outs, or technical glitches. As a self-taught WordPress site owner and manager since 2012, I appreciate her ability to communicate with me about my website in terms I understand. She also encourages me to handle aspects of my site that I have the capacity to if I want to which is so hard to find! I now feel confident about the technical end of my web-based service business because I know that that there’s nothing I can’t envision and create with Gretchen there to help me as my business continues to grow in to the future. If you are looking for a knowledgeable, dependable, and reliable technical advisor and IT professional to work with look no further. Working with Gretchen has been one of the best investments I’ve made in my business.”

–Heather Beardsley
