My name is Sarah, and I make websites. I live in Salem, Oregon. My business is located in downtown Salem, Oregon. I have long-standing relationships with each of my web design clients. I work with both small and medium size businesses. I create and make websites. My website development company creates and makes websites using WordPress and Shopify. I have over 10 years of experience making and designing WordPress websites. I have a lot of examples of different small business websites I have made over the past 10 years. If you need some website design inspiration you can click here to view my portfolio.
Working with Sarah and her team was great. We absolutely love our new website. Cafe 22's original website went offline because we set it up in 2008 using flash player. So when the website went down, I called Sarah to see if she could help. Sarah worked within our budget and helped us get a beautiful professional website up and running. Sarah's website package included a branded photoshoot where we were able to photograph our business and highlight a lot of our great menu items. Our new website fits the brand we have had for over 20+ years. We recommend Sarah at Style Websites to help any small business in Salem with their website design.

Sarah and her team at Stylechilde are my go-to for all branding and marketing needs. Her team makes regular updates to my my health and wellness business website. I started working with Sarah in 2015. She has created over 3 websites for me, including event sites for all my non profit endeavors. She delivers very high quality work and is extremely trustworthy. Using her creative services means I never have to worry about how something is going to turn out so I can prioritize making money with my business. I highly recommend Sarah for all your website, marketing and branding needs.

The owner has a very warm personality. Her office is also a very warm and upscale looking environment. Her proposal includes letting you know that you can sit back and she will take the wheel. This makes her very high prices seem justifiable. Unfortunately, it became increasingly clear that she is new to what she does or not very good at it. The communication was horrendous. My site was supposed to go live on a certain date and didn't go live for another month and a half. Then to top it off, it wasn't even live. She kept telling me it was an error on my end. It turned out she didn't understand what I was saying. Once I explained it for the third time, she realized it was something she needed to do. Yikes. Not great when you're in charge of somebody's website. She seemed to be trying to grow her business and delegate tasks. I would have a meeting scheduled with her and some other person would call me. Or I would email her and some other person would reply. I believe there were a total of four people I never knew were going to be involved in the design of my website that would pop up when I was supposed to have an appointment with her. As a result, these people would get the brunt of my frustration. I would have to explain to them what I had already explained to her. They would have to explain to me why all of a sudden they were taking over and it made communication even more difficult. All in all, it felt like she was a very inexperienced web designer who was trying to grow her business and as the customer I suffered the consequences of her working the kinks out. The actual website turned out pretty nice however it's never been usable for me. There was always back end things that needed to be accomplished that never got done. When I moved to a different state, they made it so confusing on how I could get everything changed over to the new location. I directed my questions to the owner and midway through trying to solve the problem, once again, she passed me off me to another person. They would tell me they could help me, then they said they couldn't, then they would send me self help YouTube videos. Then they told me that it wasn't their skill set. I got so many different answers!! I'm still getting inquiries from my old location and I've been gone two and a half months. The worst and most unprofessional thing was the owner wouldn't even schedule a phone conversation with me so I could understand if I needed to hire somebody completely different or if they were going to help me get the location data changed. It was VERY unprofessionally handled. I feel 2 stars is generous for how much I paid and for the services I received. A pretty website is useless if it doesn't function.

Hi Jolie, as you mentioned your website is beautiful and I appreciate the compliment. Upon your recent move to Arizona last month, you asked us for help updating your location in Google My Business we offered feedback, back and forth phone calls and emails to help as much as we were able with your limited availability to get back to us. We even mentioned many times that the website was useful for any location. As your old address is a listing outside our control through Google. The website as you mentioned was getting many hits and works well since we handed the site off to you in January - when we pushed live back in December within a two month time frame from our first meeting October 1st. During our work together you received a style guide, a wireframe and professional copywriting for your landing page website. All for under $2000, a very competitive price for a website agency. I received no other negative reviews from you until now. So sorry you feel this way and we will take your feedback into consideration.

I originally met Sarah when she was just a little girl. She was one of my Willamette Girl Choir students. After many years of starting over with my business, as well as removing myself from a business partnership, I was a little apprehensive to start again. When I approached Sarah last year to help me with rebranding my website, she guided me through her process and also helped create a new logo for me. Sarah provided everything I needed and even encouraged me to take new branding photos. Which I love! And I couldn't be happier. Since launching my website last November, I have gained 10 new students in my music program. And with the help of Sarah's trusted advisory, I successfully raised all my rates. Now I am making an income I can both enjoy and be proud of. I can not recommend enough how much Sarah and her team helped me with my business branding success.

"I had Sarah and her team at Style Websites redesign my Shopify website for my snack bar business. I met Sarah originally a few years back while take some training through OEN. I enjoyed talking over different web page design ideas and how to increase visibility online. Her wireframe layout was exactly what I was looking for in a redesign, I just couldn't find the time to get it done myself. This year I reached back out to see if she could implement the changes recommended and she was able to bring her team together quickly. Sarah was also able to update the site with new product photography, new copywriting as well as creating a vector format of my logo so I can continue to use it on any future embroidered promotional items I want to have made for Columbia Bar. Sarah and her team are very responsive and also very knowledgeable about keeping my brand consistent with fonts and colors. I'm really happy with how the website turned out. Highly recommend them for web design, graphic design, logo design and branding!"
