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.
“I strongly recommend anyone in need of a website to work with Gretchen. She is highly professional, knowledgeable, skilled, helpful, punctual, enjoyable to work with, and consistently exceeded all of my expectations while delivering top of the line results.”
-Erin Bishop, Whatever Girls
“Gretchen is a rock star!
“Seriously, I had no idea what I was doing when I started my website and blog. And honestly, without her, I can’t imagine where I’d be. I just like to write. Thank God, Gretchen knows how to do all the other stuff because there is a lot of it.
“Since I’m not working, her rate scared me at first, but she’s so fast that it doesn’t seem like that’s what I’m paying her. And twice recently, I had weird things happen on a Saturday night. I emailed knowing her office hours do not include weekends, but both times she was right there and got the issues fixed in no time.
“She goes over and above. So, I’d recommend her to everyone, but selfishly, I don’t want her to get too busy.”
“Gretchen Louise recently set up a new website for my artwork. Navigating the many options and technicalities was beyond my experience. Gretchen was professional, efficient, and patient with my lack knowledge. Her quick response to my many questions was most gratifying and helpful. I will continue use Gretchen’s services and highly recommend them.”
“Gretchen is a breath of fresh air to someone like myself! I had no idea how to build a website (and really, really did not want to learn), but Gretchen set up my blog in just a couple of weeks. She consulted me about all the details and explained thoroughly what my options were. The most difficult thing I did was make decisions. Working remotely with her was straightforward and simple. The compliments continue to come in, I highly recommend her services.”
-Cinda Shaver, Life Unimagined
“I know how to write exciting adventure stories but designing and managing my website was overwhelming to me. I contacted Gretchen about my needs and she was wonderful! After talking to her about my goals for my webpage, she designed and produced a great website that I absolutely love. It’s eye catching, and quickly informs the viewer what my page is about. She built it so that as you scroll down the page pictures and testimonies fade in and out, making it look classy and up to date.
“I am very pleased with the whole website as well as the continuous attention Gretchen gives to make sure the website is doing what it needs to be doing. I can easily add content or if I feel like it needs special attention, Gretchen is available to do it for me — usually that very day. I am very pleased with her work and will wholeheartedly give her the highest recommendation that I can.
“Thank you, Gretchen! You’re awesome!”
-Alan W. Harris, Stories Change Hearts
“I’m a writer who was completely overwhelmed with my website and digital platforms. I found myself stuck. Then, Gretchen entered my life as a fearless guide, helping me confidently navigate a constantly changing digital world. I’d be up the digital creek without her.”
“My site looks SO MUCH BETTER! I wish I had contacted Gretchen months ago! She did excellent work and was very professional.
“Thank you so much for helping this non-techie person fix the mess of her blog and make it much better.”
-Mary St. Dennis, Life Is Just Ducky
“I have two websites, both of which were hacked to the extent that the host had to shut them down. In a panic, I contacted Gretchen. I thought for sure we’d have to rebuild both sites from scratch, but Gretchen came up with a better (and less expensive) solution. Within a short time, she had both sites up and running again.
“Gretchen also recommended some visual and technical changes to the sites that have made a huge difference in the look, feel, and function of the sites. She made suggestions for improvement that I didn’t even know were possible. My sites are seeing more traffic now than ever before and the sites are much easier for me to manage. Gretchen was very easy to work with, and thanks to her, my annual hosting fees are lower than ever.”
“After several years using the same theme in my blog it was time for the dreaded theme update! Now, I am just as tech savvy as Grandma Maria and was absolutely petrified at the thought. Well, all my fears were all groundless: Gretchen made it absolutely seamless! Gretchen was a delight to work with and has the patience of a saint; I must have changed my mind about the fonts a thousand times and it was never a problem. I would thoroughly recommend her as she is truly a tech wizard and will be there to support you until you are completely happy with everything.”
“If coding makes you cringe and trying to figure out how to ‘just make it work’ on your website gives you a headache, Gretchen is the one you need to reach out to. She cleaned up the hidden code on my site, made fantastic recommendations for plugins (and even which plugins I could ditch entirely), and fixed things in seconds that would have taken me weeks, if they ever got done at all. Let her figure out the technical stuff while you stick to the business of serving your customers!”
-Nicole Haschke, Knitting for Charity
“My biggest challenge when I first called on Gretchen was being overwhelmed with the tech-y stuff. Once she helped me through that, Gretchen made the most of the little bit of material I gave her and made my website look professional. Also, she bills in 15-minute increments. This is extremely helpful! Now I know that if I have something small come up, I can call on her. What a relief!
“Plus–and this is the most important–Gretchen was extraordinarily nice as well as patient throughout the process. This combination of technological knowledge in a nice human being makes for somebody you definitely want for your tech-y needs. HIGHLY recommend!”
“Gretchen Louise ‘gets’ the Blog Smarter CEO mindset. And she is the most supportive tech person EVER. I am constantly thanking her for NOT MAKING ME FEEL STUPID. She bills in 15 minute increments, so even when small stuff needs to be tweaked, it doesn’t cost a fortune. She’s been coding SINCE SHE WAS 20, so she can do in 1 hour things that would take me 1 month. Oh–and she’s willing to make a tutorial video as she does things so that I can learn how to do them myself if I want. She’s THE BEST.”
The End.
The End.
