Happy Clients

"Said it once, I've said it seven times, I cannot believe how you're this good at this. I'm honestly blown away. No one could figure it out—including people who did this for a decade."

Jeff Weiss, Passion of the Weiss

"David migrated my news website from a server that loaded pages slowly and kept crashing whenever my articles got a significant amount of traffic to a new, stable setup that loads much faster so that people who want to read my reporting can do so without problems.

"He worked very quickly and explained what he was doing in a way that I—certainly no tech wizard—could understand and act at key decision points. And he did it all for a very affordable price... but don't tell him I told you that."
