what my clients are saying…
I’ve served hundreds of clients since I began working with 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.
“Since Day 1 of working with Gretchen, she has been incredibly patient, cheerful, professional, and a fantastic communicator. I never once felt like I asked a ‘stupid’ question (even when a quick Google search could have answered it for me!) or was a burden to her with my lack of knowledge.
“Gretchen is a fast communicator, but I never felt rushed. I felt like her pricing was reasonable and really an excellent value. I appreciated all of the helpful suggestions and respectful advice Gretchen gave along the way. Her natural way communicating added a lot of value to my project, while her patience and understanding helped my stress levels a lot.
“Gretchen’s clients are in excellent hands. They will receive the added value of hiring a fantastic communicator with a current and deep knowledge of every part of blogging, from site design and coding, to social media and email lists, to branding and writing.”
-Erin Franco, Humble Handmaid
“When I started working with Gretchen I knew I wanted to start a blog, but didn’t know where to begin. She helped me get started and was there for me every step of the way.
“Gretchen took all the worry and stress out of creating a blog. She made the process so fast and easy, and was able to complete in a few hours what would have taken me months to figure out. She is always quick to respond to emails and an absolute pleasure to work with!”
-Tory White, Natural Health Neighbor
“I honestly don’t know what I’d do without Gretchen! To say she has saved my blog on multiple occasions would be an understatement. I so appreciate her quick responses, her efficient work, and her incredible knowledge base. She is completely trustworthy and more than competent. I highly recommend her to all of my blogging friends!”
–Kayse Pratt
“Kind, fast, and knowledgeable describe my experience with Gretchen. She knew what to do, how to do it, and got it done within the hour.”
-Kathy Gossen, Cornerstone Confessions
“Walking into a website redesign is risky, overwhelming, necessary. Walking into a website redesign with Gretchen turns risk into reward, creates overwhelming excitement, and makes necessary chores an absolute joy. When I was ready to redesign my blogsite, I had a general ‘feeling’ of what I wanted the end result to be but few tangible ideas. With her expertise and patience, we created a fabulous and functional home-on-the-interwebs that represents my brand with beauty and usability.
“Gretchen has the skillset to code magic, the endurance to put up with my artistic flightiness, the fastest response time imaginable. Basically, Gretchen allowed me to love the process of redesigning my website instead of dreading the task.
–Jenni Marie
“I like to believe I’m computer literate, and 20 years ago I really was. But I began blogging and I found myself humbled. When the joy of writing ended in a technological battle, I knew I needed help.
“When I first met Gretchen it was clear she possessed the expertise I lacked. Initially I struggled with communication as I’m very visual and she talks ‘code.’ I found her encouraging and incredibly patient. Not only did she put code to my vision, she brought my computer literacy a little closer to the 22nd century. She remains my trusted technology resource.”
–Teresa Brouillette
“I’ve worked with Gretchen on several websites and she is a gift to collaborate with. She is both professional and personal and her quick response is always a bonus. It feels good to know your website is in capable hands.”
–Idelette McVicker, SheLoves Magazine
“When I needed to make some changes in my blog I asked some experienced blogging friends for referrals, and had a number of people recommend Gretchen Louise. My projects grew over time and I ended up asking her to do a complete re-launch of my blog with a new name, new host, new subscription service, and pretty much new everything! It was extremely complicated as I asked Gretchen to move some (but not all) of my archives and photos over, and I changed my mind on some things like a thousand times. Then in the middle of it all, I had my first ever blog post go viral, which was crashing my old site and making it nearly impossible to get any work done. Somehow, Gretchen was able to remain completely cool under pressure, and was extremely available by both email and phone.
“I was truly blown away by Gretchen’s knowledge, communication skills, and efficiency. She was patient, kind, and full of grace; consistently cheerful, confident, and an absolute pleasure to work with. I would hire her again in a second to do any work related to my blog. I also continue to refer to her site to find helpful tips and information. I give Gretchen the highest rating possible for the work that she does!”
–Monica Swanson
“When I first switched to WordPress, I played around with DIY code and design on my blog, but quickly realized that wasn’t the best use of my time and talents. I love working with Gretchen because she’s real, she’s accessible, and she doesn’t talk down to me even though I don’t always know what I am asking for when it comes to coding, blog design and much needed updates and maintenance. She does exactly what I ask for and doesn’t try to push me in directions that I don’t want to go, so I still feel like I have the control I had when I was attempting to DIY, without the wasted hours of searching the internet for coding tutorials. Now I simply email Gretchen and she takes care of it. And she works in such a timely manner that she makes me feel like her #1 priority. I don’t know how she does it but I’m so glad that she does!”
–Amanda Medlin
“Gretchen has been an answer to prayer! She is so knowledgeable, helpful, and quick to respond to even the quirkiest of my requests. I truly enjoy working with her and I’ve become convinced that there’s nothing she can’t handle.”
-Lisa Jacobson, Club 31 Women
“Gretchen is prompt and professional. I recommend her to anyone who sees a line of code and starts to hyperventilate.”
-Sarah Mackenzie, Amongst Lovely Things
