Sties Design Agency was exactly what I was looking for with SEO help. Mark spent about 45 minutes on the phone getting to know me and my business. He was interested in my future goals and where I see CPR by Shane going. I instantly knew I had found the right people to help me with my one man business. Unlike other companies, Sties Design Agency's price was a fraction of the cost. I received a 12 page consultation in only a few days with so many suggestions and improvements. Some are very easy fixes and some more complex. I won't trust anyone else with my website needs and you shouldn't either. Looking forward to working with Sties Design Agency for years to come.

Das Dutchman Essenhaus recently enlisted Sties Design to conduct a complete website build under a very tight deadline with one specific request- use our established branding message to captivate and encourage our current market while creating a fresh design to attract new guests. We couldn't be happier with the product they delivered. From the moment Mark & Alison met with our team for discovery, we knew they were the right fit for us.
They are highly skilled in transforming requests into a design that exceeds expectations while presenting new ideas that make one's product and brand more desirable. Add-on services delivered by Sties Design during this build included product photography, icon & pattern creation, and custom coding of third party P.O.S. systems. Sties Design is built on a love for Christ that radiates through their work and into their connection with their client. We feel blessed to have been led to them and look forward to engaging their services for future projects.
