I wanted a website that was beautiful, functional, and affordable and I had just about given up. Was I ever surprised when I started working with Marian LaSalle! She gave me everything I wanted and more. After listening carefully to my preferences, she personally designed a site that reflects my taste perfectly. Then Marian insisted that we spend two hours on training, and she was so right! I was a little intimidated because I am not very “techie”, but my website is so easy to work with! After the training I immediately understood enough to start updating the site myself, and the more I played with it the more fun I had. Now it’s like having my own artistic playground. Anytime I get a new photo, or want to advertise a new class, or even change an entire background, I go right into my site and change it up however I want. AND, most important of all, I am now on Google’s first page for my business category. Finally, people are finding me! My business has increased significantly since my new website went live; I get several emails a week from potential clients.
If all that were not enough, Marian is delightful to work with. With her, the answer is always yes. I frequently refer new clients to Marian and highly recommend her to anyone with website needs of any kind.
I had been looking for at least 3 years for a web designer with whom I felt truly comfortable on all levels, and who inspired me to reach beyond my own limitations. I was ready to design my website, and I knew I wanted to learn as much about the process as I reasonably could. I wanted to be able to edit both text and photos on my website. I wanted to be empowered to have creative control over both the content and the design, but I also knew that I needed plenty of technical and design support, as well as encouragement along the way.
When I found Marian’s work, I felt an internal “click.” I knew she was the one for me. Once I contacted her, the creative process started to come together. She helped me take the pieces I had been collecting and creating for the past 8 months, and put them into a shape that is truly my own.
Even in the final 2 weeks, I refined and re-wrote the entire site 2 more times. Since my passions are consciousness and creativity, it was a joyful process to be able to weave the text together with the images, my artwork. For the first time ever, the readings from the Akashic Records that I give and the artwork inspired by the Records are brought together in an integral fashion. It is a huge leap for me! Even though I thought I was ready for this step 2 years ago, I see now that it is true that “when the artist/healer is ready, the web goddess will appear.” I am so pleased to recommend Marian’s work and Painted Path Designs.
I was looking for a web designer to help me expose my new chiropractic clinic to the world. During my search I continually found that designers wanted thousands of dollars, or they would not call me back. I started to ask local business owners and friends if they knew of a web designer that was reliable, reasonably priced, and knew what they were doing. I was immediately referred to Marian LaSalle at Painted Path Designs. When I spoke to Marian she agreed to listen to my ideas while providing her own suggestions that would compliment mine. She took the time to get to know me and visit my clinic, which allowed her to build a site that reflected my personality. Once we finalized the design she trained me how to make changes to the site on my own. If I have questions I am able to call or email Marian and get an immediate response. She is not just a web designer, but she is my web coach.
When we went to publish the site, we experienced some technical glitches and the going got scary. I would have panicked and lost heart without Marian at my side. When I am creating, I get very intense, and work long hours. I love working this way; it’s exhilarating. At the end, I inevitable experience a let down.She remained calm, compassionate and reassuring, even as she put in extra work and time solving the problem. Throughout the entire process, I learned a lot. Best of all, I have a gorgeous website that reflects me personally and professionally. I look forward to continuing to work with Marian and receiving the unlimited benefits of her wisdom, patience, vision and expertise.
