I went from spending 3 hours trying to figure out how to place a feature in the sidebar of my new blog to having a professional looking and functioning blog. Amber thought of everything and then some. I could have spent a year trying to figure out Typepad and instead I can get on with important business....writing my articles and managing my practice. I recommend Amber without hesitation!
Amber took my incoherent ramblings about style and the image I wanted to project and made them an incredible reality. An organized, incredible reality. This site perfectly reflects my energy and personality, and I don't know how she captured that with the crazy notes I gave her, but she did. I would not hesitate to recommend Amber both for her great style and vision as well as her incredibly organized methods. Style AND substance!
Working with Amber has been a joy. I love the fact that she really engaged with me and because of that we worked very well and quickly. Even through hurricane Gustav! The end result is stunning. I consider Amber to be very good value for money.
Amber listened to me and asked very pointed questions that helped clarify my needs. She put together the ideas in my head onto a site that far exceeded what I had imagined. She also made several suggestions to help my site bring me business and draw in the right kind of client. I am inspired by the results.
It takes me a long time to figure out what I want, and then when I discover what it is that will make me happy, by that time, I have usually beaten down the people I am with. Amber hung in there with me, listened - did not let me flounder and held me to a timeline. I am thrilled with the results! Amber is relentlesly committed to the satisfaction of her client and to getting the job done on time and beautifully. Amber helped me to get clear about what I wanted from a website: functionality and look. She hung in there with my ambivalence and indecision and did not let it run the project. She listened to my concerns, taking lots of phone calls and pushed me in the most gentle way forward, getting the site done on time and wonderfully. If you want a developer who has your best interest at heart, who clearly communicates, stays on schedule, and has remarkable patience, Amber and Brown Bug are for you. If you are interested in potentially hiring Amber and Brown Bug, I would be glad to speak to you about my experience. My e-mail and phone number are: Colby@ HealThroughSpirit.com, 206-335-1180.

There were so many wonderful things about working with Amber that it is hard to know where to begin. Creating a Web site and putting yourself out there as a solopreneur/coach can be a very stressful and scary proposition, but thanks to Amber, building and launching
divinesparkcoaching.com was a delightful endeavor.
In a nutshell, Amber is professional, smart, up-to-date on the best Web tools out there, and has a terrific eye for design. From the beginning, Amber took the time to understand what I was hoping to convey through the site. I never felt that she didn’t get it, and she was always one step ahead of me in terms of adjusting design elements to make it all work. I could trust her completely, and that was a huge relief - and I’m a tough critic, FYI. She is also very knowledgeable about the array of Web tools that are out there (such as email services and event registration services) and how to leverage them to make your life as a solopreneur easier; she incorporated them into my site in a way that is already saving me so much time. In addition, Amber is incredibly organized: there’s a lot of back and forth when you’re designing a Web site for someone, and Amber actually created order out of potential chaos and made the process fun.
In two weeks from the day that I paid my first installment, I had a completely functioning Web site that I love, that is everything I dreamt it could be, and that will be very easy for me to maintain and grow as my business grows. This means that instead of spending the next three to six months worrying about my Web site, I’ll actually be able to do what is most important to me – work in my business and serve my clients.
I can’t say enough about working with Amber. I’m telling everyone who comes within a yard of me and who is trying to build a Web site that they should check out the Brown Bug Project!

I loved working with Amber! She understood what I wanted and made it come to life on my site. Along with being intuitive about her client's needs, Amber is an expert web site developer and star project manager! She left no stone unturned and saw to it that we stayed on course.
I really can't say enough good things about my experience with Amber and Brown Bug Project. Thank you for everything!
I started by giving Amber guidance which was not very specific, and she turned it into a website which feels like me and is professional, appealing, and readable. Communication with Amber was excellent. She checked in frequently for my input, and was always responsive to my requests. Amber completed each step when it was promised, and usually sooner. I've talked with several colleagues who have created websites using different designers, and I feel that I have gotten much more value for my money than they did. I've really enjoyed this process and am a little disappointed that it's finished!

Amber did a great job with our site with little input from me. All I asked was that she make it look good. She did it!
Amber with Brown Bug has been fantastic to work with! She's got all the processes and tools in place to make for a very collaborative and productive relationship. I asked her to work on a very tight time frame and she set forth a clear schedule and met or exceeded all deadlines. Most important of all, I'm very happy with the final product. Thanks, Amber, for a job well done!
Amber is a professional that takes pride in her work and the process to get there to ensure the end result exceeds expectations. I would recommend her to anyone and hope to use her again in the future.
Amber is simply awesome. She was able to ask the right questions to understand the vision of my site, and then she went out and created it. She also has a way of getting you extremely excited about the creative process in making your website, and she taps into that enthusiasm as you collaborate in creating your vision. I highly recommend Amber, and I just know that she will make your website dream a fantastic reality.
