"I had paid another company to revamp my website and was totally unsatisfied. Dawn took a look at it and in a matter of minutes presented a vision for me and what I wanted to relay to my clients.She works quickly and has my company's best interest front and center at all times!

In addition to my website, Dawn now does my social media graphics, monthly newsletters, writes blogs, plus incorporates those blogs into powerpoint presentionations for my support group.

Because of her years of experience in IT Education, she even built a online personal development training program and portal on my site. I have continued to work with Dawn on all marketing levels and I'm seeing changes and growth in my work and company!"

We were referred to Dawn from a mutual business acquaintance to help us get a monthly newsletter up and running for our busy bariatric surgery practice. The relationship quickly blossomed into her handling not only the design, development and timely execution of a monthly newsletter, but she revamped our entire website. This was not an easy task due to the lack of cooperation from our prior IT company. Dawn handled the transfer with patience, professionalism, confidence and unwavering support for us. Not only did we find Dawn extremely pleasant to work with, she is always transparent with what our costs are. She does not over inflate her pricing and is more than generous with her time. Dawn truly enjoys what she does and it shows in both her delivery and final product. Dawn has been such a positive and essential addition to our business. We would absolutely recommend her services!

Working with Dawn has truly been a rewarding experience. When I decided to launch my business, I had no idea where to begin in terms of creating a website or marketing. After meeting with Dawn, I felt confident that she she would create something beautiful that would represent who I am and what my company values are.

What she created far exceeded my expectations! Dawn provided so much more than a website, she provided me with guidance and outstanding customer care. If I had to describe Dawn in three words they would be intuitive, creative, and professional. I give my highest recommendation to this amazingly talented, dedicated, and caring lady!

Dawn came highly recommended from my business coach. I was blown away by her efficiency and technical prowess! She not only put my webinar together exactly as I had requested, but she also pointed out (and promptly fixed!) technical issues with my website, along with adding beautiful graphics and re-designing my homepage. Talk about going above and beyond! I had no idea about everything that she knew how to do, and how quick she was! It would have taken me months to figure it all out, and I would have made costly errors for sure. If you have something you’re doing, and it takes integrating different software pieces, and involving new traffic to your website, you absolutely MUST hire this woman (if you want it done right the first time)! I am so happy I found her, and plan to hire her again and again as my business plans evolve and expand! I wouldn’t trust anyone else! Money well-spent!

Dawn is the go-to person when I need assistance with getting something accomplished. Dawn takes charge, seeing projects and through to completion. Her creative insights and extraordinary leadership skills are the key to many of the tasks we collaborate on. Although we are located in different states, I work closer with Dawn than I do other many of the employees at my own location. She’s one of the most highly driven and dependable person I’ve ever had the pleasure to work with.

I had the pleasure of working with Dawn for several years in several parts of the country. Dawn was always a leading performer, applying sales discipline and leadership to all of her activities. She excelled in engaging and influencing a wide audience to support shared goals and demonstrating passion for what she did. She was the most sought after Training Director and was called upon by other executives nationwide for her help. Her spirit and drive led her to winning awards every year. She is the only 3 time Eagle Award winner, for Marketing, Sales, & Operations. She crushed every goal that was set. The results speak for themselves!

It is an extreme pleasure to work with Dawn. She is very knowledgeable about the IT business. She is dependable, motivational, and thrives under pressure. She leads by example and I was honored to have presented her National Awards year after year for Marketing and Training excellence.

We relied on Dawn and her crew to test new procedures and provide feedback on new marketing, products, and programs. Dawn was exceptional! She demonstrated a very high level of initiative, always had a positive attitude, and helped create a top level store team that excelled in customer service and store presentation. Due to her consistent ability to establish & achieve high standards, Dawn was asked to take over "turn-around" situations in our stores several times, and she always accomplished marked improvements in each of those stores. Dawn was innovative in that she continually sought out the "better way" operationally to achieve goals. One of her in-store productivity enhancing initiatives was so highly effective, it was rolled out to the entire company! I strongly recommend DAWN to you. She will be a valuable asset for your organization.
