What They Say
It's taken us a while to find the right website developer who could accomplish what we needed, but finding Scott was well worth the wait. For Air Squared, as with most companies, our website plays a central role in nearly all marketing efforts, so finding the right developer was absolutely critical. By staying engaged, asking questions, and giving suggestions, our vision became his vision. Scott's as honest as he is talented, with the ability to handle any project large or small.
My admiration for the range and scope of Scott’s technical prowess along with his commitment to clean and effective design cannot be understated. As a fellow web developer and designer, I find that he is my #1 go-to resource when I am facing a tricky technical obstacle, or seeking out advice on improving my approaches (both for my own work, and for the work I do for clients). He is not only an amazing customer consultant, but also a fantastic business consultant as well. He quickly identifies what the area most need of improvement is and then develops a thorough, efficient, and practical solution that is ready to implemented. After Scott performs his magic for you and your company, you can literally watch your metrics/results change for the better, and at a surprisingly quick pace at that! You would be doing yourself, and your company, a huge favor by trusting in Scott’s experience and care with your digital projects
Scott is the most talented developer I've ever worked with. His patience and grasp of my needs was a welcome relief. As a freelance digital marketer, I need my website to run seamlessly and look perfect at all times. It represents me and my brand to the world, after all! Scott took me from good to STUNNING in just a few hours. Additionally, he sat with me and coached me on how to make and update changes myself, which was incredibly empowering. My limited knowledge of HTML, CSS and Bootstrap wasn't a barrier at all, and Scott explained everything in a way I could easily understand. In my opinion, he's the perfect combination of developer and computer scientist. His demeanor is incredibly humble and I will continue to seek his services for my work, as well as refer him to everyone I know!
I can’t believe how difficult, time consuming and expensive it can be (in today’s tech centric world!), to get a message based website built and hosted for a mid-sized business. Scott broke my project up into manageable pieces, technologically, logistically and financially. Within a week of our first consult, version 1.0 of the site was up, content-ready, and searchable. And I had not yet spent a penny! Scott and SCIW are truly a pleasure to work with, and I cannot recommend them strongly enough, for any size project!
Scott was easy to work with in the development of our site. He had great structural ideas and worked extremely fast to get the site up and running. Scott is also extremely responsive in quickly developing solutions to ongoing issues that inevitably arise.
