Anja has created a fantastic website for my new business!!

Trusting someone to build a website, to construct a physical representation of an entrepreneurial vision, is no small task. But she nailed it!

She partnered with me to understand my business and demonstrated her subject matter expertise that exceeded my expectations in every way. Anja has been a pleasure to work with, is prompt, creative and attentive.

Throughout the course of this project, she has been professional, knowledgeable, and helped clarify my vision into a spectacular website. I’m forever grateful for Anja’s time and would highly recommend her to anyone that is looking to develop their ideas into a website.

I am the Director of the non-profit organization, Day of Joy, Inc. In the spring of 2019  we had some difficulty with a web designer and were unable to utilize our web page.  

Unfortunately, this happened just a few days before a major event we were holding.  

Anja Carlson came to our rescue!  

Ms Carlson quickly took control of the situation and fixed every link that wasn’t working and got our ticket sales up and running.  She really saved the day for us!

Anja Carlson has excellent design skills!

The Fort Myers Barbershop Chapter hired Anja to redesign the chapter newsletter. She quickly understood what was required and translated barbershop themes into key components that were instrumental in the successful implementation of a quality product. Her designs caught the spirit of our organization very successfully.

Her designs were completed efficiently and in a very professional manner.

As an organization, we fully expect to continue to use her skills and designed projects in the future.

We hold some awesome presentations on the entire gamut of topics pertaining to WordPress both for developers and end users. This year we welcomed two new Co-Organizers; Anne Katzeff, and Guy Cicinelli.

I host a bi-weekly Meetup called Coffee Klatch where I teach other business owners, developers, and WordPress users alike. We have great discussions and everyone learns a lot.
