"SHD is, and will continue to be a trusted partner; because smart partners make for smart solutions."
Spence Hackney Design is a trusted partner for Lewis Advertising. Why; because they are smart.
They are smart about the abundance of technical aspects related to design, development and maintaining digital assets; however as important as that expertise, is their intuitive intelligence regarding what it takes to meet and exceed client needs.
As a company and as individual team members they have always added value; and simply made every project better.
SHD is, and will continue to be a trusted partner; because smart partners make for smart solutions.

"our site turned out to be exactly what we wanted"
The team at Spence Hackney Design did a superb job on our website. They were very patient with us and helpful throughout the entire process and our site turned out to be exactly what we wanted. They are good listeners who do great work. It was very helpful to us that they work so much with faith-based organizations and knew from where we were coming and where we wanted to go. Besides giving us an amazing site, they empowered us to update the content of the site on our own which allows our site to be even more effective. The system that they use is extremely easy to learn. I give Spence Hackney Design my highest recommendation.

"We couldn’t have done it without Spence Hackney Design"
Before we began working with Spence Hackney Design on a complete website redesign and infrastructure overhaul we had four separate, disconnected systems in our office: donor database, e-commerce, listserv, and website. These systems were developed at various times by different people over a 20-year period. Scary! Very soon we will have one, integrated system that will well-position Renovaré for the next 20 years of ministry. We couldn’t have done it without Spence Hackney Design, and wouldn’t have wanted to!

"best in class and second to none!"
I searched a long time for the right company, with the right vision, and the right solutions to build our firm's website. Spence Hackney Design was the right one -- they turned our vision into reality. They are always available, responsive, and have the expertise to tackle any challenge. I tried other website designers before I found Spence Hackney. I highly recommend them as best in class and second to none!

"I’m delighted every time I go to our website"
Spence Hackney and his team are great to work with, and we are so pleased with our new website. The design is beautiful, and more importantly, the Empower/DotNetNuke system makes it easy for us to maintain. The website design and development proceeded just as Spence described, and we felt as if we were partners in the process. I’m delighted every time I go to our website and see the creative design.

"impressed by the power and ease of use"
My initial impressions of the Empower/DotNetNuke system are very favorable. I have used some other local-system website building tools, and I was a little unclear on the power of a web-based system. However, after using it, I am most impressed by the power and ease of use. I am quite amazed by the number of possible modules that can be assembled into the site, and the fairly easy and logical way of manipulating them once in place. It's an extremely well-thought out system... I think you have a huge winner on your hands. I have yet to delve deeply into its more potent modules, as our needs are not there yet, but I expect that I will continue to be pleasantly surprised by the system as we progress into the full web presence we envision. Very slick!

"a feeling of true partnership"
While I find Spence Hackney to be of outstanding personal and moral fabric, it is the professional way he handles our needs that keep me going back to him for help with our technical and web presence.
SHD has always delivered ahead of time, never beyond budget, and with utmost professional courtesy. I would highly recommend to anyone that they do business with SHD.
From initial design meetings to project completion, Spence gave me a feeling of true partnership all the way. I would gladly do business with SHD at any chance I have.

"the easiest of all the programs I have learned"
I have the power, from Empower/DotNetNuke! I've learned a lot of programs in my years being a computer expert, but the Empower/DotNetNuke system is the easiest of all the programs I have learned. If you know how to use word processing software you are 95% there. I like the comfort of putting information on the web when and where I wanted it, and if it was not correct I can instantly delete or make changes. I used the website to advertise for the events my organization sponsors. Spence Hackney & staff designed the registrations to automatically gather information to Access. On our first event we had 85% of the participants register online. What a time saver this was for me! Thank you Spence Hackney Design for introducing me to Empower/DotNetNuke.

"we’ve been treated like we are number one"
Spence Hackney Design has been an answer to prayer for our ministry. Personable, dependable service has been the cornerstone of our relationship. We may only be a small fish for this company, but we’ve been treated like we are number one.

"very user friendly"
The Empower/DotNetNuke system gives me the ability to change information on our website within minutes. I am now my own webmaster with total access to our website able to make changes from anyplace anytime. It is very user friendly allowing me to download text, PDF files, video files, audio files, and pictures. Visitors to our website have commented on its fresh look, ease of use, and interactive quality. I highly recommend the Empower/DotNetNuke system.

"We love updating and maintaining our own website."
My husband and I are not computer savvy people and the idea of editing our own webpage was a little scary, but Empower/DotNetNuke makes it so easy. The manual is easy to read and understand. The editing itself is simply just a click away. We love updating and maintaining our own website. This will be especially helpful when we start our ministry in Guatemala. We will be able to use our website for a communication tool with everyone back home. Overall, we love the design and accessibility of Empower/DotNetNuke.

"thrilled with the independence it has given us"
We needed a website for our organization and one of our requirements was to be able to make changes and updates regularly. We have a very tiny website budget, so paying someone to make little changes all the time was prohibitive. The Empower/DotNetNuke system has allowed us to affordably develop a professional website for our Center. And the simplicity of the system has allowed us to train volunteers (and staff), with no web programming experience, to keep our website current. We're thrilled with the independence it has given us.
