MORE ABOUT KATE

Client Love

“The first time she sent me the website for review, I was thrilled!”

“Kate was so strategic in designing my website - the first time she sent me the website for review, I was thrilled! I couldn't believe it was my own. She created a professional look that I struggled to achieve by myself. Kate offered insight and gave me suggestions so I could customize my site just as I envisioned, and she made it so easy!

“Working with Kate was absolutely amazing! Navigating on the computer is a bit frightening. I always feel I’m going to mess up. Kate was there to walk me through everything. She took all my fears away. Kate listened to my ideas and was able to envision exactly what was in my head and design it on the screen. Thank you for all you have done!”
