“Kate McMillan possesses that uncommon mix of talents which makes for an ideal web designer: an artist’s eye and a technophile’s skills. As an artist, she understands the importance of creating a website that is attractive, but calls attention to the product or business, not to itself. As a techie, she employs her abilities to build a seamless site that operates smoothly. I’ve found Kate to be accessible and trustworthy, and consider myself lucky to have found her. I am currently looking for an excuse to avail myself of her services again.”
