      Bryan Turo's Review Sourced from Google

      Hunter and Rowdy Ferret Design provided web development for my small business for over four years and helped us in innumerable ways to enhance our website! From guidance and consultancy to the execution of many development tasks, including the build out of our entire course catalog, scheduling tools, ticketing tools, and commercial tools, to the creation of tutorials and videos to help us best use our own site, Hunter always went above and beyond to ensure we were satisfied while keeping an eye on the business outcomes we wanted. Along the way, Hunter was always a pleasure to work with. I strongly recommend Hunter and Rowdy Ferret for web design and development to any company, big or small!

      Hunter has been my web designer for several years. He took my ancient site and turned it in to an interactive site that has good SEO. He set up a valuable search function, made it a secure site and included a sign-up page that sends me new customers. He is easy to work with, creative with graphics and knows coding. He even showed me how to make changes and has produced tutorials for me when I get stuck. I highly recommend him. And the ferret is fun!

      So happy I found Hunter. I needed a spruce up on my website - it felt cluttered and disorganized. They're insight on how to make it more navigate-able for my audience to find my content feels HUGE. Also, so many new ideas on how to really optimize my website to find new clients became exciting and didn't (doesn't!) feel dreadful like it did in the past. Hunter is quick and efficient, I feel really supported and inspired to do the changes that have been looming over my head.
