Below are testimonials from some satisfied clients and links to their sites.

25 pages and growing web site with a store, periodic newsletter, and events.
As a practicing medical doctor, lecturer and world traveler, I don't have time to fool with my web site, but I need it out there working for me every day.  Ursa Major is very intuitive and has taken the initiative to make my information look right and flow properly and to contact me whenever something needs updating or reviewing. I really appreciate this as well as the personal service. The help organizing my content as I add more products and services has been invaluable and something no one else has been able to provide me with consistently. I am very pleased. — Director, OneMedicine Wellness Services(2006)

 
7-page online store, graphics-rich, with an ethnic "cajun" flair.
We had a home-made website built from a template, but it just never did the job. We had many hits but no one ever bought anything because no one could order online. Within a few weeks Ursa Major had redesigned our site with a professional look, made our site interactive and easy to navitage.  Now everyone compliments us on our web site, and nice orders are coming in.   We are very excited by the growth of our business and feel good that Ursa Major is there to help us as we introduce new products and expand our services.

22-page online store, lots of product photos, news, fun things to do.
"I expected good. I got excellent. I expected adequate. I got superior, truly surpassing my wildest dreams of a website. Over and over, my friends say the same thing - WOW! Your technical expertise and artistic skill have taken what was basically an idea, and turned it into a reality. I found you easy to work with, listening to my ideas, (some of them really dumb), and making informed contributions to the project when expert advice was needed. I highly recommend you and your work to anyone looking to establish a well-functioning store, a reliable webmaster, and an outstanding presence on the World Wide Web.
— Proprietor, The Eastward Traveler (2006)
 
5 page "brochure style" website, photo rich, describing amenities at a wedding and reception hall, with slide show and Contact Form. "Michele is one lively lady who has done a great job with our website, including taking some of the pictures.  The website we had before wasn't working for us at all that we could tell.  We agreed to build it again from scratch, and now, we are getting several hits per day, lots of contact forms are coming in, and our business has picked up considerably.  We absolutely love our website and the support Michele has given us, and have recommended Ursa Major to others."
— Owner, Stage 1 Catering (2006)

 
9-page site for a family owned dairy farm, lots of photos and text showcasing products, history, and community involvement. "We are very pleased with our site redesign by Ursa Major.  We had several other webmasters before, each of whom moved the site forward a little bit, then disappeared.  Ursa Major saw the project through to the end, taking the initiative to design a new logo, brighten our colors, organize our information, secure good product photos, optimize the site for search engines, and making many other suggestions to improve functionality.  We are getting a lot of hits on our site and good response from our visitors."
— Smith Creamery (2005)

I love the photos you took of my store, the great graphics and features you provided, and my newsletter. This has been a big project with many ups and downs and you've stuck with me all the way.  I am very appreciative and look forward to continuing to work with you." — Shaman's Shadow (2004)

"The Baton Rouge Labyrinth Project has been very pleased with our website. Our site has attracted a great deal of traffic, and our search engine placement has been wonderful. We have been contacted by people across the United States, even though our project is based locally. Additionally the feedback about the site has been very positive. It accomplishes our dual mission to have a website that is both aesthetically well-designed and is also strategic for us. We feel it has been very instrumental in helping us achieve our marketing goals and in establishing credibility for our project. Thanks to Ursa Major for a job well done!" BRLP (2004)

"I chose you because I sensed your intuitiveness and creativity, and I knew I would need that to create the site I dreamed about.  Everyone who visits my website compliments me on its liveliness, yummy photos and especially on my outfit, which you photographed, and which has become my "signature" look when calling on clients in the local area.  I love the way the theme of the website carries through to my business cards and product flyer, and I really appreciate the time you have taken with me to get my text, pricing and policies organized for my new business. Thanks for all the encouragement.  — The Senior Chef, OWP
