"Shelby Gold is a pleasure to work with and I have recommended her to many others for website design. Her work is well thought out and her desire to deliver a great product is only beat by her professional and courteous attitude. She is always quick to respond when needs arise and is very talented. Five stars and highly recommend!" ~ Shannon Staples, National Director, Border Patrol Foundation
"We had a rather drab and uninspiring website that required a creative overhaul. Shelby accepted the task and in just a few short weeks, our logo, website, and brand has been transformed. She's very responsive, technically capable, and it was a pleasure working with her. If you're just figuring out how to communicate your brand or simply just need some sprucing up, we highly recommend Shelby for the job."
