    Gretchen was very prompt in responding to my search for a professional web designer; I got a call back the same day. She is extremely knowledgeable, experienced, and imaginative. She took care of all of our requests and concerns with a great deal of patience and was very proactive in keeping the design process moving along. In the end, she delivered a beautiful and professional website that exceeded all of our expectations.

    18 East went way above and beyond the call of duty. They came to the shop, helped us clean up, and took amazing photos. The website looks great and we've seen a big increase in business after they redesigned it.
