“This is my unreserved recommendation of Wendy Goodfriend for the design and production of your website. She reconstructed my artist website in 2019. It is now much better. It is easier to navigate and more appealing.
“The process of working with Wendy was a pleasure. She was professional, timely, and transparent in all her administrative work. On the creative side, she has a photographer’s eye for color and composition. Wendy works collaboratively, offering options and suggestions yet was open to other’s ideas.

“Working with Wendy was a great experience. I didn’t really know what I wanted for my website. I just had vague concepts and impressions. Wendy met with me multiple times, both before, and during the build out of my site to help solidify my vision and bring it to life. She made insightful suggestions but always wanted to stay true to my final decision.
“One of the best things about working with Wendy was her ability to do the photography as well as the layout of the site. She has such a special eye for design and the ability to make simple inanimate objects come to life. She was also able to work with existing video footage and incorporate it seamlessly into the site.”

“I highly recommend Wendy Goodfriend as a web designer. She is smart and very skilled, works fast and efficiently, and is a delight to collaborate with. I have no experience in building a website and, because of this, had avoided the process for a long time. But Wendy’s excellent skills, warmth and humor made this a smooth and positive experience. She not only included me on every relevant decision, offering her advice and ideas while honoring mine, but also provided artwork, a photo shoot and a solid steady professionalism.
“Given the beautiful result she created for me, I could not be happier. This was a stress-free wonderful experience for me and I wholeheartedly recommend her.”
