I just wanted to set down and drop a personal note to you to thank you for all of the wonderful work you have done with Donna and me. When we sat down to analyze the project facing us of creating an alluring website with which to display our seaside rental condo to the rest of the world, I was in fear. We have only an entry-level of computer knowledge, and had only a vague idea of how to display our rental, and of how to attack the numerous components required to design and display a website.

We had been directed to you by a common friend. Upon opening and reading your website, then talking to you, the weight was lifted from my shoulders. Your site told us you could work through all areas needed and produce a complete finish product.

Over a period of a couple of weeks you helped us transfer domains, select and create new domains and hire management. Your web design was magnificent. We were so excited about our first website that we decided at once to have you design the second site. The dozens upon dozens of questions I had for you were answered and explained, and as a team with you, Donna and I have the sites we had dreamed of, with ten times the splash we had expected. Wow!

Now, comes the test. How will the sites produce. Bit by bit we watched as our sites worked through the search engines to become highly visible. We feel that with the response that is beginning to grow even in this slow economy that our advertising investments with you will soon pay off, and will serve us well for a long time.

Thank you for staying accessible to us as minor adjustments are needed and together we tweak the sites. We look forward to yet another project with you in this coming year.

We had no idea when we started what a benefit our website would be to our business. We would pay 10 times what we did knowing now what a great asset it has been for us. She did a FANTASTIC job and we could not be happier with her work. She has also maintained it now for us for these years and we LOVE working with her. She is very professional, knowledgeable, and prompt in responding to all of our requests.

She is very patient in working with people like us, who would have better luck building the next space shuttle than we would building and maintaining a web site. She is also very reasonably priced, in fact, in my opinion, underpriced. I would recommend to her to anyone without hesitation! We are happy, contented and loyal customers.

Working with Barbara was a dream. She was so helpful in taking my ideas and turning them into a beautiful reality. Capturing all I wanted and even more! The page is easy to navigate and very stress free for the user. To me this was so important as I know how hard some pages are to move around. Everything is so professional. I would recommend Barbara Castleman to anyone who wants a professional website. I have had great success.

In one discussion, this “Lady” managed to extract my thoughts, colors, design and visions for a children’s web site right out of me. Believe me, Barbara is an independent, self-directed person who is able to communicate effectively and meet even the most demanding challenges. And truthfully, mine was a challenge. She has the unique ability of asking just the right questions to bring your thoughts and concepts to life.

What’s different about Barbara is her ability to pull all of this together, add her personal creative touch and create exactly what you had envisioned. She thought of ideas, pictures and logo images that never entered my mind. I am quite honored to write a testimonial for Barbara because she is a highly enthusiastic and talented individual, she has extremely high professional standards, is disciplined and punctual. She always finds time to work with you every day until the job is completed and I can certainly vouch for her ability to get the job done on time. She made my job pretty easy.

I look at my web site 10 times a day and bless her for her artistic and creative imagination. She takes the extra mile to make everything perfect. And mine is perfect… I love it, love it. For all these reasons, I highly recommend Barbara and LadyWebPro.com to design any web site you could ever imagine. The price is certainly right. Take a peek at mine and see if you don’t agree that this site will delight children everywhere. Thank you Barbara, you are my angel in disguise.

Christine Hartwell, San Diego www.ChristineHartwellAuthor.com

When I started my gate company a year ago, I built my own site using GoDaddy. What a disaster! Not only are they expensive, they are difficult to work with. The software is illusive and always changing. They actually did nothing they claimed to do. I was ready to "kill" my company when I walked past Barbara's home and saw her sign "Lady Web Pro". Well, after three weeks of serious work, I must say: She is certainly a Lady. She is kind, considerate, a very good listener, and very smart. But the best part: She is a Web Pro. She knows what she is doing. As she went along building my site and educating me, I passed her work to my "critic filters". She got rave reviews from the harshest critics. I am finally excited about my gate company. I can concentrate on what I know (building gates) and leave the web to the Pro! Thank you Barbara for your work.

Vernelle J Judy of IvyGateCoUSA.com, Salem, Oregon

We would like to thank you for the excellent job that you have done in designing an outstanding website. We were quite pleased with the photograph selection and text that you included within our website. After years of relying on the phone company to "design" the website, we now have a superior product that will appeal to our clients. Thanks again. We look forward to working with you in the future. We would highly recommend you to our clients.

Kevin Crawford, Personal Injury Law Salem

Barbara, I want to thank you for the great work you did designing my web site. You exceeded my expectations!  Your flair for design, creativity, and your ability to translate my vague notions of what I wanted into a web site were remarkable.  A key to that success was the fact that you actually took the time; to listen to my concerns, propose options, and to guide me though the process.   I especially want to thank your for your patience in working with a novice when it comes to conducting business on the web.  You didn't just build my site.  You took the time to educate me on how a web presence can enhance my business bottom line.  The value I received far out-weighed the costs.  I would be happy to recommend your services.

Wayne Floyd, Personal Defense Solutions LLC, Salem, Oregon

After being in the remodeling business for 6 years without any advertising I decided it was time to get a website and start marketing. For me it was a big decision since its not cheap. I decided to use Barbara because she was local and very conveniently located next to my office. I had met with her once to try to describe what I envisioned for my site then waited on pins and needles hoping she got my vision. A few days later when I was able to see my first page I was ecstatic with the results! It was everything I'd hoped for and more! After about a week of emails and minor tweaks we had the other 3 pages done and I couldn't be happier. I would and do highly recommend Barbara, with Lady Web Pro, to any one looking to start a website.

Gavin Radigan, Radigan Remodeling, Salem Oregon

I just love having Lady Web Pro as our web designer and website maintenance professional because Barbara responds so quickly when asked to make updates, changes or additions to our website. Barbara understands the importance of quick response and it is DONE within 24 hrs!  Previously, at another business I had worked with a totally non-responsive web designer so I know the difference. It was just horribly frustrating to deal with. The previous web design company didn't return my calls, they took forever to correct their own typos, or simply never corrected the information on their poorly designed website. It was a dreadfully miserable task to try to get them to do their work!  Barbara is a dream web designer who is just the opposite! She is extremely aware of the important business tool a website is for her clients. Lady Web Pro is a professional in all ways, and responds to her client's needs quickly, and with a sense of responsibility and respect for their business.

Lady Web Pro is reliable, trustworthy, prompt and kind. She is quick to respond, and helps us find the right web solution tailored to our needs. She brings a human touch to the digital world!

Because of the time frame that we had before a big press announcement several years ago, I asked Barbara to do an almost impossible task the first time I had her work on the web design for our organization's site, but she still managed to do an excellent job on time.

During the next phase, the task did not have a time frame, but with information encompassing four additional years of world-wide project information in hand, it had become overwhelmingly monumental in scope. Given that I have no sense of web design but had a very specific sense of the information we needed to convey on our site and how the many different types of data might best be organized, Barbara patiently endured the back and forth, and back and forth, and back and forth that this entailed to get it all the way I wanted it. And during the process of needing only its final touches–which turned out to take a very long time–she endured my fraying at the seams, no matter how minute in importance the changes may have seemed to her, with grace and charm. It was a real pleasure to work with her to have her create our very complex but invaluable website. I would recommend her service to anyone.

Dr. Gregory D. S. Anderson, Living Tongues Institute

I am so excited to have my beautiful new website. In just the first few days that my press release and website went live, I had quite a few hits and inquiries. Working with Barbara was so easy. She walked me through every step and gave me a very organized file with all of information that I need for my domain names and website. She is very knowledgeable and I felt totally comfortable with her designing my website since she has had so much experience.

Elesa Doll, Coldwell Banker Commercial, Salem Oregon

Working with Barbara Castleman has been a great experience. Her friendly and efficient way to interact with the customers is a refreshing way to do business. Her attention to detail and ability to get things done in a timely manner give her a A rating.

J.R. Ros, Esq. QuickBankruptcy.com, San Diego CA

Thanks LadyWebPro for a job well done! Working with Barbara was a real pleasure. Being new to the Website thing, I wanted to work with someone local rather than some impersonal web designer from "who knows where". The decision to go with LadyWebPro was spot on. I found the experience to be very comfortable. Barbara worked very efficiently yet without stressing me with deadlines. I highly recommend LadyWebPro for website design.

Dr. Donald Fromherz, KeizerSmiles.com, Keizer Oregon

We are so very happy with the website Barbara made for us! It was just wonderful timing when a patient highly recommended her for our new office, and we decided she was the best designer for our web project because of her experience, personality and great testimonials. Barbara gives you much more than you expect through the process of designing your website and we are just thrilled with our beautiful web presence.

Salem Heart Center, PC, Salem Oregon

I could not be happier with the work Barbara did on my website. She listened to what I wanted, suggested helpful ideas, and used her creativity to create a site better than I had anticipated. She was wonderful to work with and I highly recommend her for designing your website. Thanks Barbara!!

Delan Canclini, The Ink Underground, Salem Oregon

Barbara, I don't know how you do it, but I have people finding me on the internet all the time! I always ask how they came to call me. I so appreciate your talents as a web designer.

Nancy Anderson, A Homes Pro Winston-Salem NC

I really enjoyed working with Barbara Castleman on my website. I could not imagine a more perfect job. Barbara takes your ideas and turns them into such eloquence and perfection. All my ideas were listened to and she made me feel valued. Then she takes all of your ideas, all of your personality, all of what you want to present and convey about your business and turns it into a beautiful website! I was so relieved to not have to figure out how to create a website. I would recommend Barbara to everyone I meet who is looking to have a website. I want to add that she does all her work in such an efficient and timely manner.

Trina Butler, C.Ht, P.NLP, Clinical Hypnotherapist and NLP Practitioner, Salem Oregon

I decided to hire Barbara Castleman because she had designed the web site for the Oregon American Massage Therapy Association of which I am a member. Having been on the board of the American Massage Therapy Association in the past as Second Vice President, I knew of the troubles we were having finding a reliable person to design the website and her work on the site was exceptional. I was not disappointed.

The most difficult process of doing the website with Barbara was that I did not have the vocabulary of web design to communicate my vision to Barbara. As far as visions go, I really didn’t know what I wanted so the process was stressful for me.

Barbara’s personal presence with me was calming, patient and professional. I found that she knew what she was doing as a web designer and having existing web designs to choose from really helped me get started. When I did not know what to choose, Barbara’s suggestions for me were almost always the best choices.

As I look back on the process, Barbara was the best choice for me. I continually receive compliments on my website. When I need something changed, all I have to do is ask her and she does it immediately. I highly recommend Barbara Castleman’s Lady Web Pro.

Diane Foster, LMT, Rose City Massage Therapy, Portland Oregon

I met Barbara many years ago and was immediately impressed with her as a person and now I am very impressed with her as a web designer. Being in real estate, having a competitive web site is crucial. When I discussed my concerns with Barbara about not being happy with the lack of results from my web site she listened to my comments, made some suggestions and offered to redesign my site. She assured me that I didn't need to know the ins and outs of how a web site should work and made me feel comfortable that she could give my site a tune up. She created a 'classy' new look that I am very happy with. I highly recommend Barbara to anyone who needs to create a new web site or needs to add 'sparkle' to their existing site. She is AWESOME!

Julie Fox, San Diego Residential Property Sales, San Diego CA

It is my sincere pleasure to be writing this testimonial on behalf of Barbara Castleman.  Our Association recently hired Barbara to re-vamp our old website.  Not only was Barbara a dream to work with, she was very knowledgeable and professional.  Barbara is very creative and her creativity worked wonders for our needs.  Thanks to Barbara we now have a wonderful new website that is easy to use, and one that will serve our Association for many years to come.  Her name says it all. "Lady Web Pro"

Terry Williams, President, North Willamette Association of Realtors, Willamette Valley Oregon

Barbara has the experience, creativity, and skills to listen to what you want and make it even better. I highly recommend Barbara, LadyWebPro, to build your professional website and teach you how to maximize it to reach your target market.

Dr. Torres, Chiropractic Physician, Salem Oregon

Our website has paid for itself over and over since you created it in January of 2010. New professional and vendor members have joined our association and more people are enrolling in our continuing education programs, thanks to our cheerful, current and competently maintained website. This is all due to you, dear Barbara!

LadyWebPro provided my web project with everything I asked for . . . and more! She is the most cooperative person to work with that I have met in a professional field. Barbara has been nothing but receptive and prepared to do what you ask, plus far more than one could expect. She will put meat on the bones of your website!! Wish I had had her build it sooner!!

Dago Benavidez, Dago's Original Art, Salem Oregon

Thank you so much for the wonderful web site that you designed for Dallas Secure Storage and Godsey Secure Storage. We see this site as a wonderful marketing tool for our businesses and are looking forward to it being a central and valuable part of our marketing plan.

Additionally, the process of working with you was a delight! You listened to our desires and needs and responded in a quick and helpful manner with an attractive and useful format. We've received positive feedback regarding the new site from prospective tenants within a few days of it's presence on-line.

Monte Wiens, Owner  Dallas Secure Storage / Godsey Secure Storage

Barbara was professional, responsive, and incredibly informative. She worked very efficiently and did not exceed her budget. The website is just how we pictured it but were unable to accomplish for all those years. It's like she stepped into our creative thought process and pulled out what we wanted adding it to her years of experience and shaped it into a website.

I would recommend her services to anyone who asks. Thanks, Barbara!

L. Smith, Attorney at Law, Salem Oregon

I am running for Polk County Judge. Barbara did my website. If you are looking for a web designer stop here. Barbara will listen, respond, and use her skills to bring you the website you want. Even better than you expect. She will also make it come up on Google. I am so happy with Barbara. I couldn't endorse her more.

Dear Barbara: I, and on behalf of this business family, want to thank you for the excellent leadership, creativity, commitment and artistic development you have given to the new reality of VisualConsultingLLC.com and DowDesignBuild.com web sites. You have been abundantly patient with me in particular, prompt in all of the communications and flexible in addressing our suggestions. These sites will authenticate and validate who we are, what we do and how we serve; we have you alone to thank for that.

I am sure as we visit the sites time and again over the next few weeks and months we will have new photos, ideas and needs so you have not heard the last words from us yet. Again, thank you so much for all you have done over and above the call, for your friendship and continued interest in our efforts.

Warmest regards from your friend,
George Thames

We had high hopes to have our website done many times by other companies, but we were let down over & over again. Then we met Barbara with LadyWebPro & things just got better for us! We are so HAPPY with our website & with the work Barbara did for us. She is very professional & quick at what she does. Barbara promised to get the job done & she did just that. She listened to our requests & created a website we can be proud of. Thank you Barbara for all that you did for us!!! We would recommend Barbara to anyone... Her work is incredible and very much appreciated!

Barbara Castleman (LadyWebPro), offers one-stop-shopping for those seeking professional, polished, and affordable website design. Barbara's skills are state-of-the-art, and her customer service is second to none. Barbara's skills, creativity, and reasonably priced website design/website management fees have taken our website from "wish list" to reality.

Jan 2011
The website continues to pay for itself. Yesterday, I received a call from a vendor who is registering for our trade show after browsing our website. Everyone compliments us on the look and content. It's friendly, positive, and reflects our membership.... all thanks to your brilliance!

Maggie Meikle, Exec Director, Oregon Affordable Housing Management Association

Our experience with Barbara Castleman of LadyWebPro was as pleasant as we hoped it would be. She took the complex workings of website design and made it easy for us to understand. Barbara listened to what we wanted and needed and turned it into a visually delightful and fully functional website. We are very pleased with the end product and we highly recommend her services.

Walt & Kay Covert, Manzanita Real Estate

I was absolutely astonished to have results on the website within a little over a month of completion. Barbara is very attentive to all the things that go into making a site search engine friendly, and she gently insists on certain things that benefit her clients. (All of this is included in the design fee so there's nothing extra to pay in other fees for search engine enhancement.) She's also great at helping to create terrific domain names that work for you. She has been my website designer since 2005 and created on a number of projects, all of which have been a boon to my business and by far the best advertising marketing investment I've made.

Curt Novy, Mortgage Fraud Expert

I chose Barbara to design my website with recommendations from the business community of Salem. I started out with another web designer two years ago and was not happy with the results, plus it had been 3X the cost, so expensive lesson learned! I can say with confidence that Barbara's professionalism far exceeded my expectations of what I was used to dealing with in the web industry. Barbara was upfront, on time, patient with me and my input, and had grace that is now so hard to find in this industry. I can't wait to have others see what she has created for me, it has been a real hit with our staff and clientele.

Sara Brown, Owner Salon 554

Update: We have seen a tremendous flow of new business who say they found our website and are making judgments based on the quality of our salon by the beautiful way it represents us!

Barbara provided me with a lot of valuable suggestions, and sometimes gently delivered some good hard “You really don’t want to do that’s” in designing a website for me. Starting a new business is tough, having someone with Barb’s skills and talents made a world of difference. Her professionalism combined with her sense of design (and sense of humor), were invaluable.

Buddy Hutchins, B&B Tax and Notary

Jenny Canclini, Waxing Services

I know signs, but I don't know web sites, that is why I went to a pro like Barbara Castleman at LadyWebPro.com. Barbara made it very easy for me and was professional in the way she steered me toward the development of a great site. The site development was completed in a very timely manner, and I think Barb must sleep next to her email due to the quickness of her responses. If you need a great site that works great, I would highly recommend Barb Castleman at LadyWebPro.com. Thanks again Barb, and thanks for educating me and helping my business grow!

Larry Sykes, Mungo Signs And Banners

Being a know-it-all kind-o'-gal I insisted on my own text (at first.) As a real pro, Barbara let me know that my ideas were...er, problematic, but she demurred, and sweetly did as I asked. Boy! Was I surprised to see it in place and discover I had created a picture of an unpleasant and negative jerk, (not ideal for a mental health professional)! She gently helped me back on track, and together we created an extraordinary site--fun and quirky like me, but warm and professional like Barbara. I feel like I dodged my own bullet.

The first thing I discovered is that she answers her business phone (or gets back to you PDQ)--a rare experience these days. From then on her clients get consistent 5-star customer service, unfailingly prompt responses, networking referrals to other very high quality professional services, and a timeline that delivers as rapidly as you want it to. The end product is literally (no cliche!) a real bargain.

Without Barbara, (who includes search engine optimization), it would never have occurred to me that the search/find part of having a website may be far more important than the razzle-dazzle look! You just can't do better with any other web design and publishing service than Barbara. Nobody comes close to competing with her package of price, quality, customer service and industry know-how.

In the parlance of today's kids, Barbara is awesome and she really knows how to bring it! As they say on Oprah, "She's all that!"

Cindy Bowling, PMHNP, Headmedz

I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate the wonderful job you did on our web site. You were not only knowledgeable, but accommodating and easy to work with. I appreciated the gentle flow as I worked to get a grasp of what I wanted. The end result is so exciting, more than I hoped for. It is so functional that I am having to expand my vision for its application. I looked for two years before selecting the web team of you and Dave. You were worth the wait! Thanks again for the great job.

Paul Kerley, Rent and Reside Here

Lady Web Pro was referred to us by another very happy client of hers. We had been toying with creating a website in fits and starts for the last three years, but when we started with Barbara, we had two very professional looking websites within a matter of weeks. She was able to take our vague design ideas, and apply her knowledge, experience, and artistic input, to bring our ideas to life. Our websites not only look great at a glance, but careful attention was paid to search-ability, and effectiveness for our customers. She was easy to work with remotely via email, and very patient with our many refinements during the creative process. We highly recommend her!

I met Barbara about eight years ago on a web site she had originated for a topic that I needed help with. Since then we have become good friends. Her wonderful insight, brilliant ideas, and ongoing encouragement inspired me to take up painting on canvas. I have been painting for over nine years now and have painted more than 30 pieces of art. Once again Barbara's wonderful ideas and suggestions on the web site she designed for me has showcased my work in a way I am truly proud of. She is the best!

Comments from the Committee & Advisory Board Members for www.OAAMmuseum.org

The web page is incredible!! For the those who visit this for the first and not knowing anything about the Oregon Northwest Black Pioneers or the museum should become very excited. As I viewed the web I was most impressed by the amount of history already put together by all of you.  Congratulations!!  Victor Atiyeh (Former Governor of Oregon)

The website is quite impressive - congratulations! It functions very well through all of the drop downs and that's very important. Great job. Cathy Galbraith

It looks great and I was very pleased. Thank you and well done! Randy.

Wow, this is really impressive and exciting, Thanks! Mary O.

It is wonderful - very professional. Janet Taylor, Salem Mayor  

It looks great! Elise

We are so excited. We had wanted a website for our organization for years, but the cost was prohibitive. Then Barbara (whom I had heard about before), was highly recommended by a respected member of the community. After receiving some grant funding for the development of a website, I contacted Barbara but never in a million years would I have dreamt that the funds we had would completely cover Barbara’s services, but it did! Barbara’s energy and enthusiasm for our project took the project way beyond our expectations. Her professionalism, and integrity is certainly at the top, but equally was her interest in the project.

Barbara did what many others would not have done by doing additional research, she insured that she developed a website that captured, displayed and provided the information that we wanted people to find when accessing our website. She's great to work with, and listens to you. Barbara takes your thoughts and puts them into a great design that exceeds what information you provided. Her ability to grasp and understand what you are struggling to define is uncanny. Thank you for doing a superb job for us! (I look forward to working with you my upcoming new business website.)

Willie Richardson, Chairperson, Oregon Black Pioneer History

From the framework of an idea Barbara has woven her magic and talent together to create a beautiful and professional website for my business in Nice, France. She was attentive, insightful, and went the extra mile to make sure I was happy and expertly informed. I can't thank you enough, Barbara, for the wonderful job you did and your prompt responses to all my questions and concerns. You are truly amazing!

Kim Defforge, Finesse Concierge, Nice France

I heard about Barbara Castleman on the radio. I needed to create a website to announce and supplement a book I had written about my father. I had certain ideas but no real expertise as to the nuts and bolts of creating a website. Barbara was very professional. She listened to my ideas and incorporated them into the website. (Some of my own ideas for the site were not very good but she gently guided me away from those.) Barbara created a top-notch website that is a complement to the book. Timely work and very reasonably priced. I would recommend LadyWebPro to anyone!

Jay A. Jamieson, M.D., Local Author Once a Marine

Update 2010:
I recently received an e-mail from a publisher who read my book and viewed the web site. "Your website is one of the best author/book websites I've seen, and I've seen many." He also liked the book. I thought you'd like to know that.
Jay

I refer people to someone I know to be a reputable, affordable professional.  I have seen the work, methods, and prices charged by many web designers, but there is really only one web designer out there whose work, skills, prices, and professionalism I would actually trust to recommend to the average small business.  http://www.LadyWebPro.com - Barbara Castleman.   She has a portfolio of hundreds of sites, and her prices are among the best out there - usually less than $1000 per site, last I checked.

Anne Coulombe, 12WonderWebServices.com

After communicating with countless web designers, it was clear that I was looking for a special person. I am a middle-aged woman and not WEB LITERATE. I needed someone who would take the time to explain things clearly and slowly in language that I understood. I didn’t think such a person existed but then I found Barbara. Not only did she meet all my needs, but she went above and beyond to create a winning site. There was never a moment I felt abandoned as she virtually held my hand all along the way. What I thought would be stressful, turned out to be a wonderful learning experience. Barbara is a super person with a wonderful heart and brains to match.

Deborah D'Alessandro, President
Esprit Seminars Nice, France

The site looks just great. I also want to thank you for the wonderful person you are to work with, and the fact you bring some special talents to the table in your tool belt making it most exciting to watch things develop on our site. You will always be the one that set us free!!

Jim Hoke, Mt. Angel Rope Sausage Co.

For the small business owner, a website is a very personal thing. You want it to reflect all the hard work and talent you’ve put into building your business, as well being an excellent marketing tool. Barbara Castleman has both the technical skills and the artistry to do just that. All your input will be heard, all your questions patiently answered. Barbara will work diligently until the end product is everything you hoped for…and more. With LadyWebPro, I found the creative process enjoyable and educational. From the minute my new website was launched, I began receiving rave reviews. Already my company is enjoying much more attention! Thank you Barbara for giving my small business a proud new face and voice.

Biagina Lazaroni, Rising Star Farms

I would recommend LadyWebPro to any individual or business looking for help in the design and development of a website. Barbara is both talented and creative and goes out of her way to give excellent and timely service. I cannot say enough about her eagerness and willingness to make certain that I am both satisfied and pleased with the website she developed for my business. How very fortunate I am to have learned about her. She has gone above and beyond my expectations and given me not only a great website but a new friend. Thank you, Barbara.

Tavia Hollenkamp, Innisfree Artz

Working with Barb has been wonderful! I provided Barb with a few words describing how I wanted the web site to look and feel, and amazingly Barb created a site that exceeded what we could have thought of on our own. Thank you Barb!!

Jyll Smith, Altrusa Fund-Raiser, Wine Chocolate and More 

Barbara designed my website and is now working on one for my husband.  You can count on her for immediate response to your needs.  She is professional, thorough, reasonable and fun to work with.  I would highly recommend LadyWebPro to anyone who needs a website or just needs to have a current one updated!

We are very pleased with the custom website Barbara designed for us. Not only is it attractive, it is easy to navigate and very user-friendly. We were in the process of interviewing two other web design companies, but after talking to Barbara and seeing the quality of her work, along with the very affordable pricing and ability to complete the project in a timely manner, we hired her immediately. We are certainly glad we did! Within one week of completion we interviewed a prospective resident who appreciated how our information was presented and commented how lovely the website was. We highly recommend Lady Web Pro’s services and found her very perceptive and attentive to our requirements and needs.

John Harman, Fountain Court Inc

Our website was badly out-of-date and Barbara totally redesigned it. She's so easy to work with, listened to what we wanted and made sure those things were included. She's also given us excellent suggestions to add things we'd never considered. She's very prompt, responsive, tolerant and patient with us non-techies. We're so happy with our new website. It's much more user-friendly and appealing and we've already gotten very positive feedback. We most definitely have/would recommend Lady Web Pro for either businesses or non-profits.

Peggy Kahan, HOME Youth & Resource Center

We started with another web designer and we are glad we decided on you. You were very professional and clear in your instructions to novices like us. Thank you for your helpful hints and for a wonderful job you did on our site. We are thrilled and totally satisfied. We are going to be singing your praises forever. Love, Maria.

Maria Lachinsky, Expressions Salon on Liberty

I enjoyed and appreciated working with Barbara on my campaign for Mayor website. She has a decorator's eye for the visual appeal, and an understanding of the importance of content. More than once when items needed to be changed or added, her response was immediate, and she often had to provide software programs overnight. My thanks to Barbara at Lady Web Pro for being just that - a real professional.

Barbara was easy to work even though we had many questions and many changes. She listened to what we thought we'd like, made suggestions to guide us along the way and put together a very pleasing site for us.

We were really glad that we went to Barbara owner of Lady Web Pro to have our website redone. She has a unique style that allowed us to participate in the construction of our site and Barbara brought together the technical and marketing skills to produce our attractive new site.

Dimitri and Amber Guillen, Owners, BookEntryTech.com

I just wanted to tell you how happy we are with the web site you developed for us. Your knowledge and professionalism were outstanding. We have had numerous compliments from customers and other professionals alike. Our site traffic is very high and we couldn't be happier. I would recommend you and your company to anyone looking to create or improve a web site. Good luck and keep up the excellent work.

Mike Erb, President, Leisureland Homes Inc

It was a pleasure to have had the opportunity to work with Barbara to develop the first web site for my fledgling yoga enterprise. She applied her creativity and expertise in support of my vision and provided excellent advice and assistance. Barbara has a very professional and pleasant demeanor. I think of her as a friend.

Karin Reesa, Salem Yoga Classes

WOW!! You do great work Barbara, and it shows in all ways. From beginning to end you had our best interest in mind. Always answering our questions and offering suggestions that would make our website extremely user friendly and beautiful. Quick, efficient, and detail orientated.  Thanks for an awesome job well done.

Brandi Walton AMTA-OR

Lady Web Pro's web design service is excellent! We had a massive project that needed to be accomplished in about a month before National Geographic announced our project. The project probably needed several people working on it for several months, but, Lady Web Pro got the job done in time and with great skill. It really provided the professional web presence that we needed at this critical juncture for our organization immediately preceding a large international media frenzy. I would definitely recommend Barbara's web design services to anyone.

Dr. Gregory D. S. Anderson, Living Tongues Institute

Barbara was able to refine my ideas to create a visually pleasing, user friendly website. With my various changes and additions, she was very receptive and had often implemented them before the days end. She was very patient and has kept me up to date with the technical aspects of the site. I put off creating a website way too long. If I had known Barbara would have made it so easy, I would have done so long ago. Needless to say, I am very pleased with the website and couldn't have made a better choice in choosing to work with Barbara.

Daniel Lounsbury, Willamette Valley Legal

I want to thank you for all work in designing and putting together my website. I had been wanting a website for my business for some time but had no idea on how to go about it. You made the whole process simple and painless. I thought you were very efficient with your time and reasonable with your rates. If I need to make changes or additions to the site, you’ll be the person I’ll call. Thanks again.

Stan Malcom, Magicman Sportfishing Charters

Lady Web Pro has been a fantastic resource for my small business! From our first contact Barbara understood my focus and website needs, creating a unique site for me. Her knowledge of web-based business and how it all works is very reassuring, and she is quick to respond to any of my queries or needs. I am definitely recommending LadyWebPro.com to my friends and colleagues!

Kelli Swanson Jaecks, Verbal Impact

I had the privilege of working with Barbara when she created a beautiful, clean, concise website for me. It is both creative and informative in that it clearly and concisely expresses the objectives and goals for my business. Barbara is a true professional, plus a patient and considerate person. She was able to answer all my questions and concerns to pull together a masterful website that gives my business clarity and I highly recommend her services.

Daniel Healy, New Jersey, Total Vending Pro

We are excited about our new web site for Sound Jubilee! It was so easy and fun to work with you. We had many questions and you had all the answers we needed. I appreciated that you really listened to what we were wanting and put together a beautiful representation of our program. Thank you for all the special touches and great ideas! Your work for us was worth every penny.

George and Ellen Callen, Sound Jubilee

I had no idea how a website was going to enhance my business and was very skeptical, but I've been absolutely ASTONISHED at how much new business my website has brought me. I love the fact that people can review the information and are already sold on me and my services before I ever speak to them. It's been a wonderful marketing tool and I'm so glad I chose Barbara to make the website for me because she has incorporated everything I needed on her own, and I come up at the top in an internet search! I continue to be amazed as each day passes and I'm so very glad I had Barbara create my site.

Michael Dukart, Michael Dukart Massage

I had spoken with several website designers before I chose to use Barbara of Ladywebpro. She listens and creates what you ask for quickly and economically. Barbara's websites are not rubber stamped. She appreciates you and tries very sincerely to give you all that you want in an attractive & meaningful website. I highly recommend Ladywebpro and I love my website. She's the best!!

Ginny Renaud, Sassy Feet Reflexology

Referred by Rich Shipley Island Virtual Tours of Maui, Barbara helped us put together a combination web site for multiple rental properties. She made sure I was not just pleased but really happy with the results. She is a pleasure to work with and a complete professional. I have used other web services in the past and the experience was completely unsatisfactory. I am moving all my web business into Barbara's capable hands!

Sherry Aviano, Aviano Beach Rentals

Our web designer, Barbara Castleman, is not only talented, but bright and patient. It is not an easy task to pick up on the nuances of our Terrier World, but she did it. She is a phenomenal communicator, with the unique ability to bring ideas to fruition. If you know of anyone needing to create a website, send them her way!  (Referred by Anne Pyles 12WonderWebServices.com)

Mary Stevens, HWJRTC

When I met Barb I already had a website that showed pictures and prices for my services, but she told me of some great ideas for redesigning the whole thing for me. As a professional photographer, it's very important that the first impression on my website is as good as I am in person. Barb took her ideas and put them to work. All I had asked was to have some of my pictures showing the quality of my work and she did the rest! She was such a blessing because she has the creativity and expertise to make me look good to my clients!

Janeen Howard, Janeen's Photography

When you deal with a club in the creation of a website you are asking for inherent problems. Nothing can be solved by working with one person in the club; a committee is involved with every choice of color, every photo, every story page. Yet Barbara accepted all of this and steered our ship in the right direction, always patient, always encouraging, always moving us along. I know it was not easy for her to wait on us for answers as we checked with the entire committee but she never lost her composure. She was always sunny, upbeat and funny; I will truly miss our email communications over the last 60 days. She has guided us in selection and given us a beautiful website.

Shirley La Mear, Missouri Earthdogs, Inc.

We knew we wanted a web site for our business, but honestly didn’t have a clear vision of what we wanted it to look like. We were looking for something that was different from the other like businesses in our focus area and that’s where Barb came in. We produced a few simple items to give her regarding our business, and viola! Within a few days she produced something that was creative, appealing, and professional. Her vast knowledge and experience in web designing was clearly evident throughout the entire time working with her. She is responsive, personable but most of all, unique to her profession in so many ways. We couldn’t be happier with all of the work Barb has done for our business.

Scott Santana, Santana Insurance Agency

LadyWebPro designed our website for Aja's Blinds and Designs. We gave her an overview of what we wanted to say, some pictures, and off she went. We are very pleased with the color scheme, the layout, and the text. Barbara is very enjoyable to work with and is quick with any updates or additions we wish to add. I highly recommend her for any website design you have in mind. Barbara has an excellent eye for color and design. She is very timely, helpful and a true pleasure to work with!

Aja Holland, Aja's Blinds

Crisp presentation, positive first impression impact, user friendly and professionally up-to-date barely begins to describe what potential clients see when they visit the web site Barbara created for our business! With Barbara’s creative help and leadership we were the first small residential builder in our market to have a professional web site and it immediately began to pay off for us. In the first three months our site was operating we sold 2 properties to parties from out of state both of which credited the web site information for leading them to the right decision.
 

Barbara has been wonderful to work with. Her creative ideas, attention to detail and exceptionally prompt follow up separate her from so many other web designers. Barbara has a serving personality, a contagious optimistic outlook on life and the highest level of personal integrity you will ever find in one person. We recommend Barbara as a person and business professional without reservation.

George Thames, Thames Home Builders

I was so pleasantly surprised that your work on redesigning my website was fast and wonderful. Your interpretation of my color and design ideas was perfect. The job was professional, good quality and I love it!! Thank you so much!

Virginia Weber, Virginia Weber

Lady Web Pro created my author web site several years ago and has managed it since then. This beautifully designed site has proved a tremendous asset to my writing career. The service, which includes design, text writing and editing, and technical support, is wonderful. Updates are handled promptly, usually the same day as I submit them, and nothing is considered "done" until it's exactly the way I want it. When you work with Lady Web Pro, you'll be working with a friend and mentor who wants your site--and you--to succeed. I give this service my most enthusiastic "thumbs up!

Elizabeth Lane. Elizabeth Lane, Author

Barbara was very helpful setting up my website. I only had a few ideas and she made the site exactly what I wanted. It looks very professional and is extremely user-friendly. She also had great ideas on how to get more hits on the website engines. She made my website affordable and it was great working with her.

Katy Canales, Best Loan Program

Kudos to you for the Soroptimist International Salem website. Wow - it is amazing. I see it as top notch and so full of information. What a lot of great links and so instructive. It is very well organized and easy to navigate. Thank you for sharing your gifts and skills and time and energy. You have given most generously. I am so happy you are part of our group. You may have joined for your sake, but we are certainly benefiting! Thank you, thank you.

Judy Widmer, SISalem.org

I asked Barbara to help me with a website for a nonprofit organization in which I serve as a board member. She volunteered her time and efforts and made us a beautiful website that we are all very proud of. She was easy to work with and did a great job in just a few short days. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

Becky Groves, Oregon Family Child Care Network

Barbara is a very creative designer. She analyzes someone's business and the company direction to achieve the right appearance and statement to make for them. With very little direction from me she had keen insight into achieving my goals for a web site. She is a miracle worker; truly the best!

Nancy Anderson, RE/MAX, A Homes Pro

Barbara, I am happy to give you a reference any time. It's not only about how wonderful our site looks, it's also how responsive and helpful you were in the process. You gave me permission and room to develop my own concept, then you were so patient and made so many changes as the final form took shape. What I see when I look at our site is all me, polished and made concrete by you. A real melding of creations and skills.

Barbara Keller, Gluten Free For You And Me

We wanted you to know we are so happy with the web site and everything you have done with it. We are very, very pleased with your work and how fast you did it for us. Your work is just fantastic. The lady who referred us from 12wonderweb (Anne), was just so right when she said you were the best at what you do. We plan to recommend you to everyone!

Rose & Donnie, Circle City Pyros

Thanks Barbara... for doing such a great job on my web site. What a find... someone who actually listened to my vision, and then quickly and creatively manifested that vision better than I had pictured it! You're really something special in cyber space.

Gloria Keeling, Be Fit After Fifty

You did an awesome job, had it up and running in a short period of time, people are finding it on the web (yea!), and most of all you are great to work with!  (YOU ROCK!)  Thanks so much. Barbara has made three websites for our company and has always done a fantastic job!

London Smythe, CSI-NW

Thank you so much for creating our dynamic and professional website to showcase our insurance agency and the products we offer. Before we found your service, we were not noticed when browsing the web for insurance-related sites. Now, our vision in helping clients protect their futures is high-lighted in our new web site. Your creative ideas are commended. Again, thanks for helping us to achieve our advertising goal on the world wide web!

Brown Davis Insurance

Lady Web Pro's finished product is the most professional and eye-catching I've seen. I'm proud, as well as confident, in referring her and her work to anyone! I can depend on her to make timely updates and changes and having current up to date info is almost imperative in a real estate website. Very valuable service!

Peggy Legrande, of RE/MAX Equity Group My Showcase Listing

Barbara Castleman of LadyWebPro is a very talented and experienced web developer who specializes in FrontPage web sites. Her work speaks for itself in the success of the sites she has developed. You can see examples of some of her work on her Web Samples (portfolio) page on her site. She has a very fast turnaround time compared to most other web developers and she also works with integrity in that her fees are very reasonable. She doesn't ever overcharge clients or keep them waiting. Highly recommended web designer!

Anne Coulombe, 12WonderWebServices.com

Barbara, I'd like to pass on the compliments I received on the website you designed for me. I'll be moving my office soon, and the new office staff checked me out on the web. They were impressed with the webpage. They said it was easy to read, simple, and colorful -- unlike websites of many other lawyers. They especially liked the check-box style list of services that I provide. Well done!

Alice Harman, Keizer Elder Law, Salem-Keizer, Oregon

I had a great deal of anxiety about getting a web site because of a preconceived notion that it would be an agonizing and costly undertaking. To my delight, Barbara made the process simple and produced a stellar site for me in one week – at a fraction of the cost I’d anticipated. It’s fast, it’s easy and the site speaks for itself. I highly recommend that you put the face of your business into the hands of this true professional.

Sherie Bruno  Best Face Forward Salem

Barbara was highly recommended to me by another business owner (Rich Shipley IslandVirtualTours.com). Within one week of contacting her my site was completely redesigned with the exact formatting and features I desired. I had been trying to get these features from my previous web designer for over a year!  Not only does the site look good, the hit rate has quadrupled! Barbara’s customer service, attention to detail and follow-up exceeded my expectations. I recommend Barbara to anyone seeking assistance in designing their web site.

John Tataru, Escrow Exchange

Barbara is amazingly talented. She constructed my website in a very timely manner, which was critical to me and my business. The content and photos she chose were superb. The final product of her work was more than I ever expected. Her prices are reasonable and she is very easy to work with. She is truly a professional in every aspect of her work. I would highly recommend her!  Thank you Barbara.

Wilma Harrington, Pugs and Bulldogs

I just wanted to thank you for the job you did on developing my web site. I came to you with a rough draft of what I was looking for and you were able to mold that into a very professional and competitive web site. Not only were you extremely professional, but you were able to have my web site up and running within days. I look forward to doing business with your company in the future. Thanks again for all of your help and insight.

Jason Hancock, Award Winning Real Estate

 
I feel so blessed to have had the honor to work with Barbara Castleman on my website. Coming from a bad experience from a previous web designer, I did not really know what to expect. In a very short amount of time (and I mean just a few days!), she had put together enough of my new website for me to feel assured that I was definitely going to get what I wanted. She took the time to listen, offer her expertise (and she has a lot!), and put together a beautiful, informative and working website that I absolutely love. If you want a quality, professional, and beautiful job done on your site, she is your woman! 

Carol Leek, This Day Forward Coaching, Salem Oregon

You are so efficient and creative that you made it very easy for me to continue doing my own business as a professional realtor knowing that you took the job out of my hands and provided me with such a beautiful web site. Also, thankful for your quick, professional response to do property and monthly newsletter updates on my web site. Because of all these things, I'm always referring you to others. Thank you again and again. 

Laura Gale, Eyeland Girl

Barbara does great affordable websites. I have looked around for a year or more and for the quality work you get you can not get a better deal. I definitely can be proud of the website she helped bring about. With my raw idea, Barbara was able to create a great visually pleasing website and get my message up on the world wide web in a short period of time. I appreciate her work ethic, she was always great about responding to emails or updates night or day. I would definitely, refer her to any friends or businesses and will continue to partner with her for future updates and projects. "Go Lady Web Pro!!"

Chad Stewart, Broker

I heard about Barbara Castleman of Lady Web Pro through a business acquaintance who was very pleased with her website. I thought that building a web site would be a tedious and time consuming project, but knew that it was important to be on the leading edge of technology, so I made it a priority. Barbara was available to start my website immediately. I provided her with a bit of information and she built my website within a few days! I was extremely relieved at the ease of the process and how quickly it became a reality! I would highly recommend Barbara’s services.

Marian Dalke

Thanks to Barbara, we had a website tailored specifically to our needs. We had a certain theme and message to convey and Barb captured our vision and designed a site we are very proud to show off! Barbara's turn around time was amazing, never had I experienced such quick responses! She possesses a wonderful sense of style and is always eager to meet the needs of her clients. Melissa and I found Barbara to be very flexible with all our requests while still offering valuable insight and ideas. We appreciate Barbara and will not hesitate to refer her services to those looking for a designer.

Jessica Griffin, Dinners To You Salem

Lady Web Pro offers a superb and comprehensive suite of web services. Experienced in web design, project management and customer service, Barbara Castleman knows her business and our community. This combination of expertise makes her a tremendous hit in not only meeting . . .but more often exceeding client expectations. She is exacting, expeditious and gracious in her style. Her creative talents and ‘look and feel’ choices are in tune with her client’s personality and identity. She has a wonderful ability to tailor her service to her client’s unique needs with great results.

Within one month of our introduction, my site went ‘live’—fully enhanced with every detail. It continues to ‘wow’ many of my associates and (already) interested ‘guests.’ Thanks Barb, you really are a ‘Lady Web Pro.’

Barbara Jensen, Executive Suite Rental

When you have a vision but have no idea where to start, having the pleasure to work with Barbara of LadyWebPro has been nothing short of a blessing. She is a talented, true artist with a gift of patience and understanding. Barbara took the time to listen and guide me through to a beautiful finished design I’m very proud of. Thank you Barbara for helping to create my dream. I recommend LadyWebPro highly. Barbara also created my husbands website and it's beautiful, too. Terry Carr Homes

Lynette Carr, Founder Oregon Open House Online

I'd had my website redone twice and was not satisfied with it. Then I met Barbara Castleman (LadyWebPro.com). I explained what I wanted and she did it! She took the essentials from the old site, added new ideas and looks, and put it all together in a great new website. I highly recommend her capabilities to anyone who needs a new site or needs to get an old one updated and redone.

Myron Ferguson, Better Houses Better Living

Barbara Castleman is probably the best web page designer I have had the good fortune of finding. If I have a problem or something I want to change on my web-site she has it done within the the same day. If it's a more complicated problem she will work on it until it's completed. She is not only gracious and accommodating, but is creative, inspirational and extremely intuitive. I think she's got a lovely sense of order and discipline in her work. A good web-designer not only has to be creative but have a definite flair for color and style....this she's got! Since I began using her to create my web-site, I'm extremely proud of the work she has done on my web site and know I can truly thank her for my increase in business.  

Gwen Oana,  Gwen's Astrology Service

I'm an old fashioned guy when it comes to technology, and when I needed a web site I didn't have a clue what to do, but I remembered the commercial for Lady Web Pro on KYKN 1430 AM radio, so I called her and Barbara made it so simple for me. She asked me what I wanted the web page to do and within what seemed like just minutes, she had one ready to go. She was so efficient, she was ready before I was!! Lady Web Pro is definitely that, efficient, and professional, and she made me feel good about the entire process. I'd recommend her to anyone who needs a web site for their business.
