We LOVE the team at Sonora so much! Their design work is top-notch and - maybe more important - they are always there for us after the fact when something on a web site needs to be fixed or updated. They respond so quickly, which we appreciate tremendously when a plug-in has caused a site-wide problem! And they are so easy to talk to - they always explain our options clearly and are happy to save us money on things we *don't* need to do. Sure, they know a lot more about this web stuff than we do.
But they don't talk down to us - ever! (Which is rare for computer experts!) Jim and Mike are THE BEST. If you are thinking of doing a web site with them, you could not be in better hands. HIGHLY-RECOMMENDED!

I have used Jim and his team at Sonora DesignWorks for several website projects. In each case the design team has been creative, the technical team has been instructive, and the finished product has been delivered on time, and on budget. Will use again for sure.

We worked with Sonora to develop a new site on behalf of a client. We were responsible for the written content and Jim and his team the design of the actual site. Their very easy to understand site templates and instructions along the way take what can feel like a very daunting undertaking, and make it feel very digestible and attainable. I would recommend Sonora for companies large, small and everywhere in-between.

I have worked with the team at Sonora across two website revisions over eight years, including periodic updates and site maintenance throughout. The Sonora team is both technically and artistically gifted, providing our website with the functionality we required and an attractively designed interface. Communication and turn around was extremely quick. Thank you Sonora.
