Judy is fantastic! She's quick, efficient and keeps you updated as she works. She resolved a tricky issue for me on my site in no time at all. She also has a high level of customer service which for me is a make or break when choosing a service provider. Will definitely be keeping Giraffe Web Development on as my web go-to.

In a day when most web designers barely know more than plug and play template tools (i.e. Wordpress), it is a relief to find a company that actually knows how to hand-code a website. For the uninitiated, hand-coded sites score FAR better in search engine rankings and credibility than the "el cheapo" sites built on pre-existing platforms. If SEO is important to your business, THIS is the way you need to go. Giraffe Web gets you there.

Working with Judy was a pleasure. She is always thinking about how to improve her client's web presence. After working with her and updating several things on my site that included ways to improve my SEO, I have had several calls just from my web presence. In my business that is not the norm.
