      Sherry of JV Media does outstanding work. The process that we went through was quick and efficient and the website looks great, is easy for navigation and completed at the quotation price. The two way communication during the website design and coding was very clear and concise. I highly recommend JV Media.

      Our law firm has been working with JV Media Design for about 13 years. Sherry and her team helped us to develop a fantastic web site that was truly customized to our business. The website has generated a large number of good clients for us over the years and helped us grow significantly. Sherry is unique in that she is true designer and also is practical when it comes to helping businesses present themselves most favorably. She is also extremely responsive to requests/emails. Overall, we would strongly recommend JVM Design and Sherry. Really a great team to work with!

      Jay Bell's Review Sourced from Google

      I’m a fairly tech-savvy guy, and for the past decade, I’ve been using a web site for my business that I cobbled together using purchased themes. I’ve tried a variety of them, but they never quite did what I wanted them to. My frustration increased until I basically stopped using my site entirely. This meant the customers stopped going there too. Embarrassed of my company’s public appearance, I finally decided that it was time to bring in a professional. Sherry and the team over at JV Media Design turned out to be the perfect choice. Their reputation was stellar and the price was competitive, but I got so much more than a pretty new site. Sherry encouraged me to really start thinking about what I wanted my website to accomplish. That sounded simple enough. I wanted customers to arrive and be dazzled. What then? Did I want the flow to direct them straight to my new eCommerce store? Or was I more interested in newsletter sign ups? Which aspects of my business did I want to prioritize? Working together, we were able to come up with a new layout. My site used to be a confusing mess of options. Now it’s streamlined to get the results I want most. Best of all, it finally looks good on mobile devices, which is absolutely crucial these days. Hiring a professional also helped me save time. I used to lose days if not weeks to updating my site, when I most definitely had more pressing matters to tend to. Working with Sherry and her crew, I was still involved in the process, but all the hard work fell on their shoulders. The result? A very happy customer with a stylish new site that is seeing plenty of traffic again. I cannot recommend JV Media Design enough!

      Web Design Review from Julian Thiers

      Peppermint helped us redesigning Payfree's website and web apps from the ground up. Their work included a fresh visual identity, UX/UI design and custom graphics explaining how our RFID platform supports checkout and store operations. What impressed us most was that they approached the project not only as a design task, but as a positioning challenge. They translated a technical, integration-heavy product into a clear and approachable story for retail, operations and IT decision-makers. Amazing work. The collaboration was smooth and well organized. Deadlines were met, feedback was implemented quickly and potential issues were raised early. The result gives us a strong and consistent foundation for our website, sales materials, marketing and outreach. We would gladly work with Peppermint again and do so on a regular basis.

      Small Businesses Website Development Review from Kris Meyer

      Austin rebuilt our website from the ground up and helped turn Bespoke Tint & PPF into one of the top tint brands in Bellevue. The work started with a full redesign of our website, including branding, copywriting, conversion improvements, mobile optimization, and development. The new site immediately performed better and generated more leads after launch. After the website launch, we continued working together on SEO, AI search optimization, paid advertising support, analytics, A/B testing, and ongoing marketing strategy. He also helped improve our review visibility, local search presence, and overall positioning online. What started as a website project became an ongoing growth partnership focused on increasing traffic, leads, and customer acquisition.
