Testimonials

Here are some of the wonderful things clients have had to say about Nuts and Bolts Media.

 

“When you run a small business and many of your referrals come to you through your website, you can’t afford to have your site go down. We sought out Andrea after experiencing frequent outages with our previous hosting service. Andrea has not disappointed us. Her service has been excellent, she responds to our needs and questions quickly, and provides stellar maintenance for our sites. We would recommend Nuts and Bolts Media to anyone looking for a good web hosting service provider.”

John, Frugal Rules

“I migrated my blog over to Nuts and Bolts after being with another hosting provider for over a year. After numerous security breaches and frustrated calls to multiple departments in global help desks, I made the decision to move to Nuts and Bolts Media. Many of my readers and fellow bloggers spoke very highly of Andrea and I contacted her to discuss migration. A couple of hours later, my site had been moved and was running at over twice the speed. Andrea took care of absolutely everything and notified me promptly via email when the migration was complete. Andrea is a true testament to going ‘above and beyond’ and impressively accommodated working with the difference in time zone.  

I had incorrectly assumed that all hosts were pretty much the same and can now go away for weekends without worrying about checking the health of my site! My advice to anyone who is already with another hosting provider and is deliberating whether they should migrate their hosting is to JUST DO IT! This is a prime example of where small companies can offer far superior services than the ‘big players’, at an equally competitive price.”

Savvy Scot

“After being committed to Blogger for five years I was nervous to leave. Andrea made the process so simple! She quickly responded to my many questions and designed a great logo for me. I couldn’t be happier with my self hosted blog and I just wish I had done it sooner. I highly recommend Nuts and Bolts Media!”

 “Andrea and the team at Nuts and Bolts Media have been nothing but professional! She completely revamped my blog and was patient while I asked the numerous questions that go along with being a newbie to the blogging world. I would and have recommended her to anyone looking for a personalized, professional approach to the media arena. I know I shall be using her services for years to come!”

Shellie Cadogan, Neon Mamo

“I should have come to Andrea sooner. Those 7 words are how I describe the service. I have 6 websites with the company and 2 of them required a complete redesign. Not only is Andrea responsive, but she over delivers on her promises. My websites went from loading in 9 seconds to under 2 seconds. I couldn’t be happier, my visitors love it, and switching to Nuts and Bolts Media kept me from losing money!”

Dominique Brown, Your Finances Simplified and Insider Real Estate Tips

“I had been on Blogger for a little over a year when I finally decided that it was time to be more professional and move to WordPress and to also be self-hosted. I had no clue what to do, and thankfully Andrea was there to save the day! She handled everything and the switch could not have gone any smoother.”

Michelle, Making Sense of Cents

“Nuts and Bolts Media did an excellent job with my website migration. The work was done without any issues and was completed on schedule as promised. Professionalism is being present and available for any questions and concerns and that is what I received. Thank you to Andrea and her team for the great work on my site and I look forward to working with them again in the future.”

 “I hired Nuts and Bolts Media for two projects. One was designing my professional website, Tonya Designs. The other was migrating my personal finance blog, Budget and the Beach, to self-hosted WordPress. Andrea kept me involved in the design process from start to finish, and was always open to suggestions, although I hardly had to make any since she has a great sense of what I needed in my website. I was thrilled with the outcome! What’s more impressive is how she has been available to answer any questions I have regarding both my websites, which is a relief to someone like me who is not as web tech-savvy. I highly recommend hiring Nuts and Bolts Media!”

Tonya, Tonya Designs

“I was so frustrated with my old host that I stopped writing blog posts because I didn’t want to deal with the terrible performance on the backend of my WordPress site. Now that I’ve switched to Nuts and Bolts Web Hosting my site is much faster, not to mention the fact that I have great service and I’m paying less money!”

Kevin, Thousandaire

“I had been contemplating moving to a self-hosted blog but really didn’t want to deal with it because it seemed complicated. When I finally decided to pull the trigger, Andrea answered my initial questions and had my new (fabulous!) self-hosted blog up in no time. I barely had to do anything at all and poof, it was done!”

Jessica Green

“First, Andrea is a fount of knowledge. If she doesn’t have an answer to a question, she’ll find out. I know she has a number of other clients, but I always feel like her number one priority because she’s so quick to respond and eager to help. I originally used Blogger, and moving my blog to WordPress self-hosting through Nuts and Bolts Media has been an easy, seamless process.

Second, Andrea is quick to offer suggestions when she sees the opportunity for improvement, and I really value that. I was completely without ideas for my blog header, and she offered ideas to help with the creative process. One of those ideas clicked, and she was able to run with it and finish quickly. The work she did for my site was worth much more than the price I paid, and I’ll continue to use Andrea’s services for all my blogging needs. I recommend her services to any blogger who will listen!”

Katie, Girl with the Red Balloon

 

 “Nuts and Bolts Media is an amazing company and they are great at what they do! I knew I needed a site redesign but had no clue what exactly I wanted. Andrea guided me through the process and helped me come up with the perfect design for me. She guided me every step of the way, from the theme to my logo and colors. She would keep making changes until I was completely happy with each piece. My old design was so ugly that when people visited my newly designed site, many thought they had accidentally gone to the wrong site! Andrea’s work is that amazing.”

Lance, Money Life and More

 “A little over three months ago I purchased a site audit from Nuts and Bolts Media. I received an email about how the process would work, turnaround time, and things that would be covered in my audit. I have to say that this was, hands down, the best investment I have made for my blog to date. She covered strength, weaknesses and gave suggestions on ways to improve. Not only have I gained readers and followers across many social media platforms but feel I have gained a lifelong friend. Thanks, Andrea for the advice, design completion, hands down superb tech support and endless laughs.”

Tammy, Makeup Wishes

“When we reached out to Andrea to help us with our blog, she probably didn’t know what she she was in for. My wife and I created See Debt Run together and we both had put a lot of ourselves into the site. As such, we each had strong opinions about how the site design should look, and we were having trouble agreeing on everything from the site colors to the appropriate header. Andrea did a fantastic job of marrying our individual preferences into a single design. We asked a ton of questions during the process, and Andrea was never afraid to speak her mind, which was something that we really appreciated. She is patient and kind, knowledgeable and professional, and just a pleasure to deal with in every way.”

Jefferson, See Debt Run

“For two years, I created my own banners for my blog using Paint and PowerPoint. They looked awful no matter how hard I tried. Finally, I hired Andrea to make my new banner and have never been happier. She was able to take what I saw in my head and make it a reality—from just talking to me. She’s an awesome person to work with and her work is worth 10+ times more than I paid. Thanks so much for making a banner I’m proud to display…for once.”

Jen, Master the Art of Saving

“I was referred to Nuts and Bolts media through Twitter. The quote for a custom header for my new website was VERY reasonable and quick and the turnaround time on the actual project was amazing. I’m new at this, but Andrea was super patient with me and answered all of my questions–some of them not even relevant to the design process. I only had a few “buzzwords” in mind for what I wanted the design and logo to be, but she took a look at my site and was able to glean what I really wanted to go for and who I wanted to market my site toward, and built a beautiful custom header. It turned out even better than I had imagined. I appreciated the personalized touch-even though we were working exclusively via email it felt like I was working with a trusted friend.

I was also so impressed with Andrea’s intuition and work ethic- emails were answered promptly and the changes we made were quick. As a perfectionist herself, she noticed something in the logo that I had not and fixed it without being prompted, as well as helped me with sizing to put the header on a few other pieces of advertising. Andrea’s reputation and popularity precedes her, and I am SO happy I was able to book her to do the work for my site. I really couldn’t have asked for a better designer (especially as someone new to owning my own business and site) now I have a gorgeous logo that really takes my brand to the next level. I would not hesitate for a second to use Nuts and Bolts again.”

Lauren, L Bee and the Money Tree

“I seriously had no idea what I was getting myself into when I bought my domain. I thought that was it – start designing the site and boom, there’s my blog. Wow was I wrong! The more I tried to understand this internet stuff, the more confusing it got. That’s where Andrea stepped in; she made it look so easy. If it wasn’t for her, I’d still be stuck staring at the screen, wondering what I was doing wrong. Thanks, Andrea.”

Stan, Debts n Taxes

 “Andrea is simply amazing.  Every question I had from forming my blog to the very smallest of details, she had an answer for.  She took the time to not only give me the answer but to make sure I understood what she was telling me. Because of her, my blog never looked so good.  My readership doubled in the first few days. I highly recommend her services.” 

Jeff, My So-Called Financial Life

“Andrea is wonderful! She helped me convert my WordPress blog over to self-hosted WordPress and walked me through each and every step. Even beyond that, she helped me with figuring out the quirks of Weaver II, my site’s theme. Without a doubt she can help anyone with their website/blogging needs.”

S.S., This Aggie Saves

“After using a previous web designer who was difficult to work with, finding Andrea was a much needed relief. She completed the work very quickly and made sure I was thoroughly happy before finishing. If I have any questions or issues, she is there to help. I am very satisfied with her work, and I highly recommend her!”

Carrie, Careful Cents

“After blogging for three years, I was hesitant to move my blog over from Blogger to a self-hosted WordPress site. I knew it was the next step and it would help me become a better blogger, but no way did I have the knowledge or skills to move my blog over and not break it. Also, I was terrified I would screw it up and I did not know where to begin. 

Not only did Andrea walk me through step by step while converting my blog, she also stopped at certain checkpoints so we could check the setup process and make sure things worked the way I wanted them to. She helped transfer my entire blog over and find widgets for my new blog. She also helped with properly setting up my social media tools to make sure I was interacting as much as I could with my readers. I also am able to ask her questions and get tips, so she is basically like my own blog tech support. I would (and do!) recommend Andrea to anyone. I’m so happy with my decision to work with her.”

Athena, Serendipity’s Guide to Saving

“I only know enough about WordPress to break my blog frequently. I sought Andrea out to retool and redesign my blog. Aesthetically, I needed media buttons, a better layout and color combination. I also needed a wider blog content area. I was and to a degree still am pretty clueless about plug-ins. I deferred to her expertise and asked for a premium package of the best plug-ins for optimal blog performance. Finally, I had her set up a Facebook page for Thrifty and Fit and link it to Twitter.  I was extremely impressed with Andrea’s professionalism and quick turn around time.  She was a pleasure to work with and I plan to work with her again soon in designing a second blog from scratch.”

Kristen, Thrifty and Fit

“I honestly can’t say enough great things about Andrea and the web design work she does. She really “got” me and my taste and came up with so many great ideas for my site, but she also listened really carefully to my requests and didn’t give up until I was totally satisfied. I’m so happy with the finished product and LOVE telling everyone about the wonderful Andrea and her amazing work!”

TeacHer Finance

“Andrea is an amazing resource. As somebody who is computer illiterate, I struggle with almost all of the technical issues that crop up on my blog. In fact, I’m pretty sure I’m the reason for a lot of those issues. Andrea has saved me from so many hair pulling sessions of trial and error. She always knows what’s wrong and exactly how to fix it; the best part is that she can walk you through it without an issue, and is super patient. 

Andrea helped me move from free WordPress to self-hosted, and it was amazing. My traffic nearly doubled, my readership grew, and my blog has never looked better. She gives amazing feedback and is always helping me improve my blog. I don’t know what I’d do without her!”

Daisy, When Life Gives You Lemons

“Andrea is an amazing teacher! She knows how to build and troubleshoot every problem I have ever had with my blog. She has been a lifesaver every time I have had a problem. I recommend her and her services for any newbie and experienced blogger on the net!”
