From Our Clients
Melissa is a highly skilled WordPress web developer. What sets her apart from other developers is her knowledge of Social Media Marketing and her ability to share this knowledge with her clients. Her professionalism, insightfulness and ability to communicate make her an outstanding resource for any organization.
The best decision I made for my business was to use Melissa/NewWard Development to redevelop my website. It is more professional and user friendly than ever. I constantly get client feedback stating that I have a really nice website and the contact forms are easy to fill out. I also hired her to take care of my online advertising which has increased sales. I can’t say enough nice things about her and what she has done for my company. She’s truly professional and a pleasure to work with.
It was great working with Melissa on the new site for my business. My website needed to be updated and improved for SEO as well as mobile friendliness. Melissa made the entire process painless and professional. She held my hand through all the steps while never making me feel stupid. The new site is beautiful and I love it! I cannot thank her enough.
Melissa is the consummate professional and has made a definitive difference in the online sales and social media exposure for Honey Sweetie Acres! In addition, she contributes quality leads and suggestions for further business growth that have ALL generated positive results. We could not be happier and plan to push further business her way.
