KIND THINGS PEOPLE SAY ABOUT WORKING WITH US

I’ve been working with Margaret for several years now, and I can’t imagine a better working relationship between web designer and client. She is thoughtful, responsive, intuitive and able to grasp the heart of whatever I’m trying to convey through words and imagery and design. She also is incredibly generous with her talent and makes the often difficult process of design and representation into an interesting and engaging process.

Margaret J. Wheatleymargaretwheatley.com

Margaret is a rarity in the world of website work: a dependable veteran designer with strong marketing skills and a keen eye for what works. I had no idea that rebuilding a website could be such a pleasure.

Julia Hill-NicholsCEO, Leaders Cove – LeadersCove.com

Margaret combines technological skill with heart and understanding to create websites that communicate the essence of her clients’ vision and service. People know who we are because Margaret designs sites that convey the quality and values of our work.

Christina BaldwinCo-Founder, PeerSpirit Inc. – PeerSpirit.com

The only thing better than Margaret’s webmasterful skills is her commitment to integrity and intelligence in her work. She “got” the vision of my company and translated it into graphic design that communicates cleanly, openly and effectively. We are clients for life.

Kathleen AdamsFounder, Center for Journal Therapy – JournalTherapy.com

I am a huge fan of Margaret Rode and Websites for Good. Margaret brilliantly shapes ideas into a web presence that is both engaging and powerful. Her redesign of my website had people raving how much they like it, that it is truly who I am.

We all dream of finding a web person who has technical wizardry and a down-to-earth way of working with us. We search for someone who is creative and practical while also being infinitely patient. We want support. Beyond having all those attributes, Margaret has great heart. She wants to put good work out into the world. She will do whatever it takes to make your good works shine like a star.

Leia FranciscoCCE Board Certified Coach and Author of Writing Through Transitions: A Guide for Transforming Life Changes, revised edition, 2016 – leiafrancisco.com

Margaret Rode develops exquisite websites that capture the essence of her client’s heart and soul AND her technical support is superb. She is both a creator AND a maintainer. Cheerful help is never far away.

Ann LinneaCo-Founder, PeerSpirit Inc. – PeerSpirit.com

Thank you so much, Margaret. I love being with your energy and playing with possibility 🙂 Excited to feature my writing on the site now!

…(if) you are considering asking her to design a website for you…you really could not have a better person in my view. It has been such a lovely experience working with her in creating my new website.

Bruce NixonBruce Nixon Associates – BruceNixon.com

There are no words to describe how helpful and reassuring and essential and steadfast you are to me as I wend my way through this important personal and professional purpose in my life. Not to mention how much fun you are to work with. Thank you.
