“David built a beautiful, accessible & functional website for the PO Box Collective that reflects our complex work and captured our community. He took the time to understand our organization and created a site that showcases our events, history, exhibitions, and communication needs. It’s easy to maintain, budget-friendly, and has dramatically improved our online presence and visitor engagement. His patience, professionalism, and commitment to getting it right were outstanding. After years of hobbling along with a dysfunctional Wordpress site, it’s now working smoothly and effectively on CraftCMS, and the number of visitors has increased enormously.
