About Juliana

Juliana has garnered numerous outstanding recommendations from both employers and professors.
Hear what my Clients have to Say
"Juliana did an amazing job on our website! She was very responsive and easy to communicate with. Juliana was professional and capable of accomplishing all the elements we wanted on our e-commerce site. She has great taste in design and made our site very visually appealing. I would highly recommend her and I will be reaching out to her again for any future projects."
Izzy Coatta
Victory Apparel
"I absolutely enjoyed working with Starting Gate Marketing for website design. Steve and Juliana were patient and listened to my needs to make my vision of my site come to life! I especially appreciated their meeting consistency, promptness, professionalism, and down to earth personality. I loved the help I got with photos, wording and I even learned a bit about design myself. If you're looking to have an enjoyable and stress-free experience, this is the Starting Gate for you and your business!"
Nadine Hill, Clearly Counseling (Site Designed by Steve Crayne; site edits by Juliana Hawkinson)
"Juliana is quick to respond and provides solutions almost instantly. She clearly articulates what steps need to be taken in a project without using technical jargon to "mystify" the process. I greatly appreciate the way she takes the time to clarify the situation and is willing to go back and forth on a situation until it is resolved properly. Would absolutely recommend."
Patrick Larkin, CSR/Expertise in Results (main site designed by Steve Crayne)
"I recently managed to start my new business, which is alacarttraveling.com. This business is about coordinating trips for Americans to visit Egypt and to explore the various tourist attraction sights.
I met Juliana through (Starting Gate Marketing). Juliana helped to complete designing the website. The website looks great, and I have gotten many compliments about it. Nevertheless, Juliana took the time to train me on how to mange and change the (website's) database...on my own. I have to say that she knows what she is doing, and she was super patient with me through the training process. Thank you, Juliana.
You will definitely get your money's worth if you work with her. I definitely recommend her as a website designer."
