Hear what my Clients have to Say
"I worked with Juliana to update portions of the website for our local NAACP website. She was terrific to work with. She was so easy to talk to, understood exactly what I was looking for, fast to respond, and super professional. I would recommend her to anyone!"
Anonymous, NAACP, Islip Smithtown Branch
"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)
"I highly recommend the web design services of Juliana Hawkinson of Starting Gate Marketing to anyone looking for a creative, reliable, and skilled website designer! Juliana took the time to fully understand my needs and translated my ideas into a beautiful, functional website. Communication was clear, and I was kept updated every step of the way."
Anonymous, Pantz Immigration Law
"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."
Anonymous, A La Cart Traveling
