People say the nicest things! I have the best clients in the world :) Click below or scroll down to read some of the lovely things they’ve said about my work.
This was my second time working with Kristen to create a website. If I am ever in need of a third, you know who I will reach out to! She is a joy to work with, keeps things extremely organized, is creative, and encouraging. Her final product is beyond what we imagined for Farmer Pirates's new website. She did exactly what she said she would and much more. I especially appreciate all the resources Kristen provides post website launch to ensure you are capable of working with and making changes to your new website. Also, her check ins after show she is there to help even after our site has launched. Thank you Kristen!

Kristen was amazing to work with! Her energy is contagious. Our initial meeting was super thorough and detail oriented about all of the things we would do and what she would need. She recapped our meeting with an email and everything was laid out so well to understand. It was well thought out and did I mention how convenient the website editing was?! That was amazing too. The website review process was sent over in an email and so easy to navigate and I loved how efficiently you could write comments where needed for any edits. Her responsiveness was amazing as well. Highly recommend! You won't be disappointed—you'll be extremely pleased!

I had the pleasure of working with Kristen, and I can’t recommend her highly enough! From the start, she understood the AuraAthletic Fit brand completely and brought my vision to life with ease. The first draft of the website was near perfect, with only a few minor adjustments needed. Throughout the entire process, communication was seamless—no need for follow-ups on my end, as she was always on top of everything. She also took the time to walk me through the process and provided a helpful training video. Even after the site went live, she followed up multiple times to ensure everything was working smoothly and to see if I needed any assistance. I truly enjoyed working with her and will be continuing our partnership for the next phase of my website. If you’re looking for someone who understands your needs and delivers exceptional work, I would recommend her in a heartbeat!

I recently had the pleasure of having Kristen build a brand-new website for me, and the experience exceeded my expectations! Her process is well thought out and organized so it makes it easy to build the content and share it with you. As the owner of a couple of businesses, creating the content for the site is something I had to fit into a busy schedule. Kristen has a very positive upbeat personality and that put me at ease as I sporadically built content.
The finished product is awesome, and my clients and followers have given us great feedback. The site has some unique features: like key phrase placement to goose the SEO and a photo gallery that updates by pulling from our Instagram posts.
I am new to the Squarespace platform, but in playing around a little, it seems much easier than the Shopify platform I am used to.
We enthusiastically recommend Kristen for web development. She is a pleasure to work with and the site she produced for us is outstanding.

Kristen Johnson was recommended to me by the Small Business Development Center, and WOW my website is FIRE. I was a blank canvas with no concept of what I wanted or needed, and that's when SUPERWOMAN came to my rescue. I provided her little to work with and she produced much! When I finally got my thoughts together, she took the reins and created my website that totally wowed and shocked me. As a result of her phenomenal work, I've already been approached for speaking engagements and orders for my merch. WOO! HOO! If you want results, Kristen is the one that produces it. THANK YOU KRISTEN!

Kristen designed and built the website for my small business. From start to finish, the entire process and results were better than I could have imagined. She made the design process super manageable with an outline to fill in the content, and folders to drop images into. I was blown away by how accurately she depicted the branding and organized the content beautifully. The editing process was also a breeze. She was there with answers to my questions, and supportive words of encouragement, every step of the way. Not only is Kristen an amazing web designer, but she's an awesome person to work with. I can't recommend her enough!

Kristen did an amazing job reimagining my website. The feedback from my professional community has been overwhelmingly positive. The professional, yet fun and very "me" site is just what I needed to help me move intentionally into larger and more visible projects going forward. I now feel that I have a website that I can be proud to direct new business to. Kristen was understanding and comfortable to work with. She walked me through every step and I never felt uncomfortable asking questions. If you are looking for someone who will really take the time to get to know you and your business well so that your site truly speaks to what you can uniquely offer, Kristen Johnson is a great choice.

Working with Kristen was a great experience! She was very clear and upfront about the process from the get-go, and continued to make herself accessible to answer questions whenever they came up. I always felt like I was informed and in control of what was happening, what my options were, and how my website would turn out. Kristen was also very patient in working with me as my schedule got hectic at a few points, and never made me feel like my website wasn't a priority or didn't fit in to her schedule. Her constant professionalism, positive attitude, and down-to-earth vibe made this potentially stressful process easy, approachable, and painless. Highly recommended!

Kristen was able to create our business a much needed bright, modern, and clean new website. She was easy to work with, thorough, and professional. Not only did she create our new site, but she provided us with the necessary training and tools to be able to update and maintain the site ourselves. She is quick to respond to any question or concern we have even after going live and always makes us feel like we are a priority. We will continue to use Kristen for our web design needs and highly recommend her to others!

We never felt overwhelmed, even as we were working through pages and pages of old content on our previous website. Our site is significantly more user friendly and aesthetically pleasing. We have gotten very positive feedback about the redesign. Kristen has been quick to respond to questions after the website launch. We love her easy manner and sense of humor. I would absolutely recommend Kristen and use her services for future projects!

I could not have found a better web developer. Kristen was simply amazing! All that was required on my end was a brain dump and those visions were brought to life. Kristen is very knowledgeable, patient and informative. This was my first experience having a webpage created and l can say, Kristen made it a pleasant one. Everyone who has come across the site loves it! Many continue to ask, who created your website? I proudly let them know they could find Kristen’s webpage attached to the bottom of the home screen. I would highly recommend Kristen’s services and I am forever grateful to have crossed paths.

Kristen's main goal was to take my ideas and create a website with a professional look, that was clean, and incorporated my theme colors. Kristen and I communicated through email and a shared document folder to keep everything organized, which made the entire process so much easier. If I had any questions Kristen was very responsive, and her messages were always energetic and motivating. The best part of it all, I have complete control of my website, and if I have any questions, I know she is always an email away, or I can revisit her training videos that break down different topics on how to update your website. Thank you Kristen, you #alwaysrock!!

Kristen went above and beyond for my website development! We met 1:1 in the beginning of the process, and then worked collaboratively throughout the entire development of the website to ensure all details were aligned! The website she designed looks amazing and I have heard nothing but positive feedback from everyone that has seen it. Kristen really took time to understand the vibe I was going for and executed it perfectly. She also added in great additions, such as the submission form and tying my Instagram into the website as well! She went through multiple rounds of edits to ensure everything was exactly to my liking and that there were no errors. I feel grateful to have had the opportunity to have worked with her on my website! Highly recommend!!

With the official launch of Creative Juices Marketing and Events I knew I needed a website. Kristen Johnson was recommended to me by my mentor, and HOLY 🐄 am I happy that she came into my life.
From the first meeting, she picked up what I was putting down. The colors and theme perfectly represent my personality and message, and she made the building process so easy. I am absolutely in love with my site, and am so proud to show it off.
If you are looking for a website, check out Kristen. If you do, you're stuck with her forever, and that's a good thing ✨
Also, P.S. Kristen is one of those people who does NOT participate in any other forms of social media, when she really should. Her insight, humor, and experience is a treasure trove! I hope everyone has the opportunity to hear her speak some day.

I couldn't be happier with the site that Kristen built for me. As a total newbie to this world, she was the guide I needed—to educate, inspire, and encourage me along the way. I loved working in a partnership with her, and I appreciated how intentional she was about "learning" me and my brand... her creativity and personal attention shows in how she brought the brand to life on the site. I also love that Kristen trained and empowered me to be able to update my site on my own. I really feel confident that “I’ve got this.”

Working with Kristen to reimagine and recreate my website was an incredible experience. This is a professional who knows what she's doing, actually listens to ideas and feedback, and turns those ideas into reality. Even when I wasn't sure exactly what I wanted, Kristen offered suggestions and examples to figure it out. Work with Kristen if you want a stellar website! Or don't—I'm not here to tell you how to run your business—but without her, you'll be missing out.

I’m a poet. I came to Kristen to help me improve my website and my social media presence. She did this for me… upgraded my sites with better graphics, repositioned texts and made for a more user-friendly experience for visitors. If that was all she did… I would say she did an outstanding job. But she did more.
She got engaged in Ivan Kireevskii. “Who he is… who he wants to be… and what steps can help make his brand recognizable to a broad, global audience?” Kristen delved into my work beyond the social and technological and focused on the message and philosophy of Ivan. Through her enthusiasm, she ignited in me a greater desire to create a “brand” that represents Ivan and through poetry, the social and philosophical message much needed in today’s world.
To say Kristen went “above and beyond” what I hired her for would be a gross understatement. So, my recommendation to existing and prospective clients of Kristen, “open up, let her participate in your adventure,” and let her take you to a new level in whatever your dream might be.

Working with Kristen Johnson was an absolute pleasure. I tried to build the website myself and it just wasn’t coming out how I wanted. I phoned my advisor at the Small Business Development Center at Buffalo State College asking for help and she was like, “I have the woman for you!”
After that, it couldn’t have been any easier. Mind you, this was all during the hot stages of Covid and everything was locked down. I was able to Zoom with Kristen for our first meeting where she took the time to get to know me and my background. She asked questions about the business, how it started, what is your style, what are your favorite colors, etc. We talked for an hour. After that, we emailed back and forth. She would send me emails with bullet points for me to finish. At first, I was moving super fast. We could have had it done in two weeks. But I wasn’t as ready as I thought I was. She worked with me on my pace, until I was ready for the launch.
After launching my website, I still found things I wanted to change or add and she helped me the whole way. When I was ready to launch, she taught me how to do everything in case I wanted to change things around. I was so nervous about understanding my e-commerce and inventory, but it was super easy!
I can’t tell you how amazing it felt to launch my website! Though Kristen built my website, I felt like I was a huge part of the process and it was my ideas coming to life. She has so much energy and passion for what she is doing. Man, I wish I could be a computer whiz. Not only is she a computer whiz but she knew the vibe and even how I wanted my words to come out. She even edited some of my blog posts because to be honest, I’m not the best with my words.
Working with local small business owners at the end of the day is always rewarding. I wasn’t just a number, I was a person who she cared about and wanted to help be successful. Thank you so much Kristen, you truly have so much passion for what you’re doing and it shows!

Each time you meet with her, she builds on the information from the previous session and gives you the next steps to take without overwhelming you. Her demeanor and professionalism not only shows that she is an expert in her field, but also that she truly cares about your success. When she says “I’ve got you”—she really does.

Kristen has been an amazing resource for me and my business since the day I contacted her. We started with little more than “I need a website, quickly, but I don’t know what to put on it” and ended with a beautiful, functional website in a matter of weeks. Kristen guided me through the entire process, helping me identify what I needed and wanted while also providing insight and suggestions related to marketing my business. She answered every question, comment, and concern, and often provided multiple options for me to consider so that I could choose the one I preferred. Kristen made it clear that her goal was for me to love my website—and she was successful. I highly recommend Kristen for your website and marketing needs!
