TESTIMONIAL

Lora’s stolid professionalism merits recognition, especially considering what an obsessive and fastidious client she had to deal with in me. I know she solved every problem I threw at her – and I tossed a lot – but, even better than that? She solved a bunch of problems that I didn’t have to know about – I didn’t WANT to know about.

I’m well beyond satisfied with her work and recommend her unconditionally. This is one designer who knows what she’s doing, and probably knows what you need better than you do. – Sean Dix

When my web site launched, it was a mess. While the content was extensive and compelling, the structure was all wrong. Lora saved my website from oblivion with her knowledge, creativity and crazy organizational skills!

Since Lora consulted and re-designed my online archive on Kansas City’s punk rock scene, it’s received rave reviews! – Patrick Sumner

TESTIMONIAL

Lora has come to our rescue more than once, creating our website (lunchbox-jokes.com) and completely revamping our primary website (cookingwithtraderjoes.com) by importing it to a new Wordpress theme. That website had been managed by overseas teams for years on an outdated platform. We were ready to throw in the towel but decided to call Lora once again.

Lora is sharp, intuitive, personable and efficient. One of Lora’s many strengths is the ability to figure out what is working and what is not working. Her analysis is always detailed and a great website “health-check.” When insidious hackers descended on our website, she immediately found ways to block them.

Lora came exactly within her time estimates, over-delivered on extras like optimizing the look and formatting. She makes sure we knew how to use our affiliate advertising and SEO plug-ins.

With Lora, you have the very practical options of having her do the work, having her teach you to do the work, or a combination of both. Her responsiveness and commitment to her clients’ success keeps us happy and coming back! -Deanna Gunn

TESTIMONIAL

As a new business owner, I was amazed at how much of my time and money was taken up with minutiae before I even opened the doors. I had seen ads claiming how easy it was to design your own website, I thought I’d have the time and skill set to do it.

After signing up for a “build your own” website, I soon realized the process was much more involved than I anticipated and I was in way over my head. Luckily Lora came to the rescue.

After discussing the look and feel we wanted, she built the site from the ground up, making sure everything worked properly and, most importantly, looked great. She started us out with stock photos and slowly replaced these with actual pictures from the business as they were available. In addition, she gave us great direction in setting up and maintaining our social media outlets (which have contributed roughly 50% to our client base). Lora regularly checks and maintains our website, keeping up with behind the scenes updates, as well as making sure our Events page is current. She regularly checks in with us with update recommendations and quickly makes any edits we suggest.

Thanks to her talents, direction and advice our website is one of the better ones I’ve seen. We couldn’t be happier with Lora’s work and HIGHLY recommend her! – Marc Weiner

Lora is an amazing asset to my business. I could not be as organized or efficient without her help. She streamlined my website, photos and information, on time (early actually) and under my budget.

Lora was fast, efficient and listened carefully to all of my requests. She was also extremely patient with my lack if technical skills and helped save a ton of time, money and frustration!

I highly recommend Lora for all of your marketing needs! – Kirsten Stein

Not only did she help make a splash with my business openings, she has continued to be available to make changes and updates to my materials almost instantly upon request.

Our businesses simply could not have made the impact that they have without her! – Veronica Banks
