OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Red Spot Design, and what were your goals?

I reached out to David with Red Spot Design via their website. Within minutes, David gave me a call and quickly found the problems and resolved them. I'm not a dev or IT professional, he treated my novice questions with respect and did not speak down to me. He was the epitome of professionalism and efficiency. 10/10 would use again!

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the owner and sole proprietor of CherishBirth.com providing labor support and childbirth classes since 2004.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire ?

After maintaining my own website for years, I managed to break two pages and had no idea how to fix them. David at Red Spot Design not only fixed the two pages I had broken in record time, but also explained to me a couple of other important changes which needed to be made, got my okay, and fixed those things as well.

All of this, in less than one day! He explained everything so that I understood it, was professional and trustworthy, and will be my first call when I am ready to upgrade my site again. If you are a small business owner, but you need help on your website- David is the one to call. He has service packages for every budget, and his efficient support is priceless.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

I looked at several local web designers who stated that they support small businesses- after reaching out to 3 at 4 p.m., David was in contact with me by 8 a.m. the next morning, I hired him over the phone on the spot, and he had my project completed in one day!

Describe the project in detail and walk through the stages of the project.

David explained several different ways I could approach my issues, listened to my thought process about what was important to me, gave me example budgets for each of the options, and then implemented the option I selected after he educated me. I felt entirely confident in his expertise and even better, that I understood what my site needed after he taught me, so I could feel confident in my choice.

How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

David took care of everything.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Security concerns have been addressed now, and everything that I had broken is now fixed. And, I know what I will want to do when I am ready to move forward with my next site once I have the budget to do so.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

David was responsive both by phone and by email.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

David's explanations rather than upselling me, giving me options ranging from the very least to the most, and the pros and cons of each AS THEY RELATE TO MY BUSINESS. They truly listened to my priorities. That was a level of customer service I absolutely will never find anywhere else. I was astounded. David will definitely be my first call, no need to look farther, for all my future and ongoing website needs.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

Absolutely nothing could be better.
