From Our Clients

What can we say? We love helping others feel good about their presence online. Here are a few words of appreciation from our clients…
“Michelle & Dara came through for Riviera in a pinch after we’d worked with, and been disappointed by, another firm and were behind schedule in launching our new corporate website. They were efficient, diligent, and proactive throughout the process and we couldn’t be happier with the result. ”
M. Pert

Riviera Partners

“I had the pleasure of working with Michelle & Dara and the entire process was smooth and professional. They kept me informed at every step, responding promptly and skillfully incorporating my feedback into a visually appealing concept. I am incredibly satisfied with the results. Their patient and attentive approach made me feel valued and working with them felt like being on the same team. A total delight, I highly recommend their services!”

“As a longtime kamaaina business, it’s important for us to continue meeting the evolving needs of our customers. Michelle, Dara, and their team did an amazing job upgrading our website, so we can do just that. ”

Sara Miura

“10/10, Michelle & Dara demonstrated incredible patience and expertise throughout the entire process of our site build. Michelle’s prompt and clear communication kept us informed at every stage. Even after the launch, they were incredibly timely in helping us troubleshoot some unknowns. We began the build with very little creative vision, Dara’s insight, guidance, and attention to detail was extraordinary; every element on the site, from the typography to the color scheme was carefully curated to create a stunning and functional website we couldn’t be happier with.”

“I can’t really express in words how grateful I am that I chose you for my website. I can’t imagine a website more perfectly suited to represent me visually and content-wise, in who I am and what I have to offer the world. SO THANK YOU BOTH FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART and SOUL! “
