I can’t thank April Ray enough for the professional web page she designed for our organization. Mayfield Graves County Tornado Relief Fund,Inc was established in the immediate aftermath of the 12-10-2021 tornado that ripped through our community. We knew we needed a professional web page to assist us with getting information out to the public regarding our programs to assist our community. We reached out to April and we are more than pleased with the design and content prepared for our group. I highly recommend April.

Tax Savvy Jessica
April was wonderful to work with! She was very patient with me even when the vision for my website changed several times. This was my first experience working with a professional designer and it was worth every penny. I would have easily spent weeks of my time trying to accomplish the right design and April was able to tackle the project with ease. I have a beautiful website that converts and ongoing support for future changes as my business evolves. I highly recommend working with April for your initial site design and for professional ongoing support.

Working with April has been a great experience! She understood exactly what I wanted and provided a beautiful website. I only wish I would have hired her sooner instead of wasting money with other companies. I enjoyed working with her so much I hired her for a second project!

Stop Clowning Around
As a small business, I have build my own sites and used inexpensive free lancers in attempt to get a web presence at an affordable price. I was never happy. Knowing I needed an update, I found April Ray Creative. In the interview, I found a person that was intent upon listening and understanding my dreams. I only hoped her price would be decent and her finished product excellent. I found a price that was a great value, realizing I had wasted too much time and money on earlier attempts. Most importantly, she took a difficult concept and nailed it.
I highly recommend April Ray Creative for any web needs as April is talented, easy to work with, responsive, and genuinely interested in your business.
