Rave Reviews

When we first started our farm, we started writing a blog about our experiences.  It was a way to keep in touch with friends and family, and a way for us to make a record about what we were doing as much for ourselves as anyone else.  Then when we started the CSA, we used it to communicate with CSAers, then to communicate with prospective CSAers, then also share recipes, connect with other customers, and more.   We were really asking the blog to do too many things, and we weren’t doing any of them well.

webmeadow was able to tease out the different things we wanted from our website – recipe sharing, communication with our CSAers, easy access to information for new customers, and a way to keep our chatty and sortof personal blog.  They redesigned the website to do all these better and easier than before.  In fact, we got two new CSAers within days of having the new website up, both through the new “contact us” function that we didn’t even know we needed before we consulted with Aaron and Eileen.

Our customers love the redesign and so do we.  Its beautiful, functional and easy for us and site visitors to use.  It still looks and feels like our very family farm-y website (we are a family farm!) but it works much much better.

The last thing we want to say is how wonderful it was to work with Aaron and Eileen!  They really took the time to understand (and help us understand!) what we wanted from our site, to build a great site, and  then teach us how to use the site.  Thank you!!!

"I knew I needed a fantastic website - but I simply didn't know where to begin. Aaron and Eileen took me from basic idea generation to professional website completion in a very short time - and they made the entire process a breeze. I really liked that they presented me with thoughtful options - and then made it all happen so quickly.

They were right there with me every step of the way and they really captured the essence of my business - Even today, I still get compliments on my website."

"Thank you for your terrific work on my website. I especially appreciated the lessons on how to make changes myself. I now have the pleasure of having a working website that I can work on myself, however I know that both of you are there in case I make those occasional mistakes. Thanks for your professionalism and your accessibility. You guys were great!"

"We wanted a new website to showcase our high-end homes and our design-build process. Aaron and Eileen took the time to understand our goals, and then they created a beautiful website that exceeded our expectations!

Beyond the end result, webmeadow kept us informed every step of the way, and we always felt like we knew what was coming next. A great experience, we can't recommend webmeadow enough!"

"For several years, the Napa County Bar Association had attempted to create a website. Over that time, the NCBA paid a consultant to create the site, but ended up with only fewer funds and no presence on the web. We tried to utilize well intentioned, but busy, attorney volunteers to create the site and without success. After many years of frustration, we learned of Aaron and Eileen at webmeadow and made the huge (for us) commitment to have them to create our site.

These two worked diligently and well with us, the process of creating the site went smoothly, and we now have a website that we can update on our own! We are very pleased with webmeadow's work, highly recommend them, and invite you to review their skills by visiting our site."

"We needed a site that could be easily updated and expanded on the fly as Stokefire expands offerings and tweaks our process. Our current site was frozen in time from a few years earlier and was no longer effective. The team at webmeadow came through in a big way. They developed a site that exceeded our expectations for ease of use - by building the entire site as one big blog. In the first 24 hours the site was up we (as non-techies) were able to add two brand new pages to the main site, put out a press release, and post to the *actual* blog on the site. For organizations that want a site that can respond to the changing environment (and allows you to correct your own typos, too) I can't think of a better team to build it.

Even more impressive, though is the management team of Aaron Parkening and Eileen Webb. They've created a company that not only does top notch tech work - but they do it with a carbon-neutral process. For companies that are concerned about the environment this team provides one of the only solar-powered web development options in the world. Because I hired webmeadow to do the work instead of a typical web development firm there are about 12,000 fewer pounds of CO2 floating around the world. I feel pretty damn good about that.

And the website just flat-out rocks."

"I've worked with Aaron and Eileen at webmeadow on several projects both for SellMore Marketing and other clients over the years. I keep coming back because of their high quality work.

Our latest project was no exception -- I've received great feedback from people who have visited the site. The site effectively and easily turns anonymous visitors into qualified leads. webmeadow has played a significant role in the growth of my web-based clientele. Thank you."

"With great professionalism, webmeadow took all of my concerns into consideration and created a website that I could not be more pleased with. I think that they did a fabulous job and even let me name one of their baby ducks, Dizzy, after DC legend Dizzy Gillespie. Best of all -- I can easily edit the site without HTML knowledge. I am pleased to be their client and have confidence that they will be able to help you meet your website development needs as well."

"I was excited to learn about webmeadow through a referral, when we decided after many years to update our website to one that is more functional and professional looking. I was immediately excited by the examples of webmeadow's work -- realizing the team there would create a medium for our communications and delivery of new services that was interesting and fun, while practical. My first impression was accurate -- we're thrilled with the resulting website! In addition, we're delighted to take advantage of webmeadow's green web hosting services, which support our ideals and deliver related promotional value.

Even more important is the level of service delivered by the webmeadow team. Both Aaron and Eileen were thorough, reliable, responsive and patient throughout the design and development processes, and we feel extremely confident in their ongoing support. We're recommending webmeadow to everyone we know with website needs. I struggle to recall such a pleasant and productive customer experience. Thank you, webmeadow!"

"When I submitted my online form to webmeadow, I needed a Web site bad. My brand new business is digital marketing consulting, and I believed that my prospective clients would expect my site to meet a certain standard. I'd come across webmeadow after an evening searching on the Web.

There was something about the care with which they wrote their own Web site (and, of course, the authenticity of the testimonials) that made me believe I'd actually hear from someone. And I did! Aaron called me the next day and by the time the call ended I felt confident that I could trust this company I just met.

Aaron, Eileen and my designer Elise were good to every bit of their word on the communication (including documentation), design quality, functionality and production schedule -- in fact, my rush project was launched a few days ahead of what was promised. It's been a great experience and I love my site. I highly recommend webmeadow."

"We get great feedback from folks that use our new website all the time. The layout is neat and professional, yet fitting for a farm store. Customers find our site a breeze to navigate and information easy to find.

I personally enjoy having the ability to update our site with the click of the mouse and not have to track down the designer to get anything done. Aaron and Eileen are wonderful people to work with and they help keep the whole experience of maintaining a website fun and painless. Doing business with webmeadow was one of our best decisions, and I would recommend their services to any business owner."

I can't tell you how pleased I am with webmeadow. From the first meeting until the website went live, you were extremely responsive, rock-solid kind, and incredibly well informed. You helped me address some of the client issues I had not foreseen; anticipate issues that might arise in the future; and made both the content and design really come alive.

In my experience, web development companies are generally great on the development side, but weak on the client side. At the same time, traditional marketing agencies are great on the client side, but weak on the development end. What a refreshing change to find one company that can balance both the technical and the customer-facing issues with such ease. Thanks again for making me, (and my client!) look so great."
