Client Testimonials
Trusted by business leaders for enterprise software solutions
"Michael has worked closely with me since 2012 on a large variety of projects from complex website builds to migrations and fixes that we could not figure out. I have no problem letting Michael speak directly to my clients and prospects. Depending on the project he serves as tech-guru, developer, project manager - and everything in between. I'm not sure where my business would be if he hadn't been with us all these years, and I'm looking forward to working with him for a long time. I have and would recommend Michael to anyone that needs an organized, professional, dedicated, intelligent and capable web developer - especially when they can't figure things out - because Michael can!"

I call him my "super developer" — the guy I know I can call when I'm dealing with any complex coding or server migration stuff. Now I can say YES with confidence when clients ask for a custom feature on their website — because even if I can't figure it out in the end, I know Michael is on hand to help me out!
