    Client Tes­ti­mo­nial:We at Dead River Cof­fee called on Oba­diah at Mid­dle Ear Media for a web design con­sult after look­ing over a num­ber of locally owned web sites and ask­ing for the opin­ions of peo­ple we trust. The expe­ri­ence of work­ing together has been good to say the least.

    Our requests of Mid­dle Ear Media were both very spe­cific and very vague. All were han­dled with aplomb and grace. When a request could not be ful­filled within the con­fines of the bud­get or the state of the art, the rea­sons were explained and alter­na­tives sug­gested to accom­plish the desired goal or effect.

    We asked for a fully func­tional web site we could “grow into” and alter to fit as we pol­ished our skills. Mid­dle Ear Media pro­vided us with what we wanted, well within our bud­get, and has fol­lowed up with help and sug­ges­tions as we move along.

    Client Tes­ti­mo­nial: I’ve worked with sev­eral web devel­op­ers, and I’m very impressed with Mid­dle Ear Media’s atten­tion to detail, the qual­ity of their work, and their speed. Their approach of gath­er­ing input in a thor­ough ques­tion­naire to bet­ter under­stand cus­tomer needs and how the web­site will be used is a prac­tice more devel­op­ers should apply.

    When I chose Mid­dle Ear Media for my lat­est busi­ness web­site I was under a severe time crunch, so there was no mar­gin for error as we approached the tar­get date. I was con­cerned, as I had become accus­tomed to exces­sive delays aris­ing from a gen­eral lack of atten­tion to detail among web devel­op­ers. Many are com­pe­tent artists but poor at exe­cu­tion. I had no such issues with Mid­dle Ear Media. They deliv­ered qual­ity work on sched­ule and on budget.

    I strongly rec­om­mend Mid­dle Ear Media to other busi­ness own­ers who need a pro­fes­sional, thought­ful, thor­ough and effi­cient web developer.
