BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

We have a farm that raises jumping horses and breeds international bloodlines. I'm part of the family that owns the farm, and I manage the property.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with David Martin Design LLC?

I wanted someone to help build our website. Then, a woman who traded horses in Virginia completely changed it as part of a deal to pay off a debt.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

David Martin helped me add pictures and things I needed to transfer on the site. I went from a very simplistic site and computer, but the breed registry I belong to convinced me to switch to Apple. I wasn't used to any of it, but he explained everything to me and was very helpful. The pictures aren't located in one place, so he helped me find all of them and put them right.

He helps with IT services and our social media, and the website was designed to help us sell more horses and increase our business potential. Our clients get information about horses on our site. We're currently in the process of redoing the site as our stock changes and grows older.

I work directly with David, the owner.

We’ve worked together for about twelve years, and he still helps me.

I've faced some issues with hardware, but David often finds ways to fix things I can't. I use him whenever I run into a problem I can't address.

How did David Martin Design LLC perform from a project management standpoint?

He drives to me and is always very good about working with me at the farm, even though it's out of his way. Skype didn't work for me, so he accommodated my needs. He's always very technically correct, and I've profited from everything he's taught me.

What did you find most impressive about them?

David is easy to get along with, smart, and a good conversationalist. I'm so happy with the work he does for me.

Are there any areas they could improve?

He fulfills all my expectations, and I see no room for improvement in the work he does for us.
