I just went through a migration from hell – He knew how to fix a couple things that were happening with your migration and made it look easy.
I just wanted to take a moment and give a shout-out to Brian for helping me with my website.
Recently a major update was made to the theme that I use to run my website and after NUMEROUS attempts and many hours (ok, weeks) of frustration to do the update myself I reached out to Brian for assistance and in a matter of MINUTES …YES, minutes… it was completed!! Done!
What had given me grief for over two months (and frankly) had me searching for a ”new theme” …. Was. Fixed. In. Minutes.
You have no idea…how I wish I had been introduced to Brian earlier.All I can say …is if you are looking for someone to provide…excellent customer service… then Brian is your man.
Brian helped me today with my Custom CSS. I’m not a professional web builder and struggle with the small adjustments to my website. He came to my rescue and solved some other problems with my CSS as well! He was very friendly, I had to trust him with an admin account to my WordPress, and he handled it with integrity. I would ask him anytime again to help me professionalize my website! Five stars for this hero!
