Bay Design did a fantastic job with our website redesign! Louis was great to work with. His design recommendations were excellent and his technical expertise was fantastic! The result was a dramatically better look and feel, and a much stronger information management structure. I wholeheartedly recommend Bay design!

Our goal was to have a visually compelling and easily accessible site to serve our members and the community of sailors at large. Working with Bay Design, we were able to deliver a great looking site with our public reference materials easily found. Our members have been very complimentary of the sleek modern look and functionality.
Michael Moradzadeh
Webmaster, Cruising Club of America
Louis was easy to work with in executing my vision for the website for our small law firm. I knew nothing about creating a website before coming to Louis and he is patient and takes the time to walk me through the editing process. I continue to contact him regularly with new ideas for the site or new content and he helps me make practical decisions. I strongly recommend working with him!
