Well Dressed Walrus did an amazing job taking my ideas and molding it with their expertise to create an outstanding website for our company. They did such a great job that I had them create another website for our non-profit. I highly recommend using WDW for all your web design needs.

After selecting WDW for the new SHA website project, we quickly became excited with their approach. From our first meeting with their team, it was apparent that WDW not only knows what they are doing, they take the extra steps to get to know what their client is looking for in a new site. When in-person meetings switched to virtual in 2020, WDW always took enough time, never hurrying (or pushing) our team into a decision. WDW was exceptionally good at being flexible with our input and comments throughout site development.
If we described a certain functionality in general terms, WDW would either know immediately what we were looking for or would come back to us with options. The regular communication between team meetings was also easy to follow and track. The end product is a top-notch, user-friendly site while meeting our needs as a public entity. Thank you Well Dressed Walrus!

Everything was great working with WDW. The staff we worked with Curt, Andy, Jana, Jeffrey, and whoever else I missed are awesome. Communication during the build was never a problem. The product is awesome and extraordinarily easy to use. We had a few minor details to work on early on, and they were very flexible in making everything happen. When the product was finished the post build support has been great. No complaints here. Since the launch we have received A LOT of positive feedback
