What my clients say

I contacted Dorothy to have my website developed, and I am so happy with the results. I liked her approach of interviewing me before developing the content. This gave her a good idea of my personality, which she was then able reflect in my website. As I am a software developer myself, I can confidently say that  technically she is strong and knows WordPress very well. Thanks Dorothy for a job well done!

Sadaf Khurram

Dorothy undertook the process of migrating my blog to a self-hosted WordPress site. She worked with confidence, efficiency and professionalism, provided a clear budget, and completed the works in a very timely manner. She understood what I needed and delivered beautiful results. Her training and follow up service was also much appreciated. Thank you, Dorothy!

We needed an expert to assist us with the setup and configuration of new websites for our business as well as for our Rotary Club.  Dorothy helped us getting both websites up and running within a very short period of time.  She also assisted us with training and support, even at odd hours, once the websites were live.  We appreciate Dorothy’s knowledge and experience and are grateful for her professionalism and advice before, during and after both projects.
