OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What specific goals or objectives did you hire Bay Area Web Solutions to accomplish?
Our previous web designer had basically taken our site hostage. The costs kept climbing with no upfront disclosure, and then a fake "Russian cyber attack" warning started displaying to anyone who visited our site. The previous company demanded $3,000 from their "team" to remove it. We didn't have admin access, we didn't control our files, and we needed someone who could actually rescue our website fast.

The previous company demanded $3000 for their "team" to remove it. We didn't have admin access, we didn't control our files, and we needed someone who could actually rescue our website fast.
Within a day of contacting Bay Area Web Solutions, Jason had migrated our WordPress site to a new server, recovered our locked files, reset all the passwords, and put the hosting and admin access in our name where it should have been from the start. He now hosts and maintains our site.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
We found them in desperation while searching online for someone who could help us recover from a bad web designer. Jason picked up the phone, listened, and had a plan within the hour.
Bay Area Web Solutions saved us $3000 in ransom fees and got our website back online almost immediately. We've been hosted with them ever since with zero issues. Jason is knowledgeable, fast, transparent about pricing, and - unlike our previous designer - does not hold your website over your head. Highly recommend for any small business that's been burned as well as if you're just starting new, you can check this one off your list of to-do's knowing your online presence is safe and well-maintained!
Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?
Absolutley! Jason listened to what was going on (we were panicked!) and worked with us very quickly as he know how important this was to us. He dedicated himself to our issue and solved it immediately. We were pretty gun-shy due to the current situation we had found ourselves in, but he was very reassuring, kept us in the loop all along the way, let us know everything that was happening and how he was correcting it, and that excellent communication continues to this day.
What was your primary form of communication with Bay Area Web Solutions?
Email or Messaging App
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
He's local, he's honest, and he made sure we own our own website. After what we went through, that matters more than anything.
Are there any areas for improvement or something Bay Area Web Solutions could have done differently?
I can't think of a single thing I would change. He exceeded what we hoped for.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.
We recently took on the challenge of refreshing our high school alumni website, which had out-of-date content and confusing navigation. Having no previous WordPress experience, we were so thankful that the first thing Jason did was to create a customized editing guide for our site. It explained in easy steps how to accomplish routine, ongoing tasks that we could manage on our own, as well as calling out those more complex changes that would need Jason’s expertise. As we updated the site, Jason was super responsive, patient with our learning curve, offered creative solutions, and continues to be a great resource for site maintenance. We now have a Hillsdale High School Alumni Association website that serves our alumni well!
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
The key outcome is an updated website that we can be proud of and that serves our alumni community well. Additionally, the site-specific editing manual Jason created for us has set us up to be able to perform much of the ongoing site maintenance on our own, but we know Jason is a quick e-mail away if we need his expertise with more complex changes.
Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?
Because we did not have previous WordPress experience, we appreciated Jason's patience as we got up to speed. He was always responsive, helpful, and creative. The project was completed on time.
What was your primary form of communication with Bay Area Web Solutions?

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
We didn't expect that Bay Area Web Solutions would create a custom editing guide for us at the start of the project...this was a lot of work! It helped us to develop a comfort level with WordPress and how to work around some of the challenging functionality of the site's original design.
Are there any areas for improvement or something Bay Area Web Solutions could have done differently?
No...we are very happy with their work.
