What Clients Are Saying

Jamie Kemler

Founder, Intent IP

Great to work with Sheila was great to work with on the development of my website. She spent time understanding my goals and translated those to the "look and feel", as well as the functionality of the site. I appreciated her weekly updates and feedback--which was very effective in a video format. This meant we were in alignment throughout the project duration. I'd highly recommend Canvas 45 Web Design to others.

Thank you, Sheila, and Canvas45 for everything! There was a lot that had to go into the youpickrecovery.org site, and you were able to do that and more! I appreciate your willingness to meet with us regularly to guide us step by step through this process! The pace and structure you gave to the amount and flow of work that needed to be done made this process so smooth. We felt supported and cared for the whole way through! I am anxious for everyone to see and use our new site!!

Sue Winter

We worked with Sheila at CANVAS45 to completely revamp our website from the ground up and were very happy with the outcome. She provided us with a project plan at the onset of the project and helped us stay on track with clear instructions and “next steps”. She listened and responded to all feedback and was able to capture the culture of the agency in the website design.

Sheila helped us build a website for our nonprofit and could not have been more cooperative, creative and truly helpful throughout the process! She is the ultimate professional, knowledgable yet approachable, and best of all, always available for questions and ideas. She made us feel like important clients at all times, expressing enthusiasm for our project and offering her expertise in invaluable ways. I highly recommend Sheila and Canvas 45 for any website needs!

Collaborating with Canvas 45 on our website redesign was wonderfully hassle free. Sheila listened to our needs, wants and desires; organized a plan, then steadfastly set off creating a website far beyond our expectations.

Our redesign finished ahead of schedule and at no point was I given cause to doubt her technical expertise or left waiting on a response.
