"Hands down, Shaela is THE BEST Web Designer in the Universe! She took me through a custom process from start to finish that was tailored to meet the needs of my personal business and brand. She walked me through my vision, my goals, my ideas and helped me to bring them to life. By the time she was done, they were even better than what I had initially imagined! Every fear, "what if" and doubt that prevented me from starting my company years ago, was met with Shaela's encouragement, wisdom and "can do" attitude. As I look at my logo and my website, I am filled with endless gratitude for Shaela Designs and the mastermind behind it! Thank you x 100 billion, Shaela! "

But the best part about her is how she strives to really listen and translate your vision and bring your message to life. She makes you look good. I am so excited about my new website by Shaela Designs. I highly recommend working with her for that extra personal touch."
