Feature Project
McNallyBuilds.com was OLD.... broken links and old tech. We completely redesigned the look and feel to match the gorgeous homes they build.

WHAT
CLIENTS
SAY?
Chocolate Dog's Team expects to exceed all client expectations all of the time. If we don't, then we aren't trying hard enough.
When I decided to do a revamp of our store website, I spoke with various web developers. It was Chocolate Dog Media that was the best value and the most excited about our website vision. Over the last few months, I have worked closely with Karen and her team. They are extremely knowledgeable and patient. One thing we really admired about this company was that while creating our website, they really kept our brand in mind and made sure to showcase who we are as a store. I am beyond thrilled with the final outcome of our new site and can't thank Chocolate Dog Media enough for there invaluable guidance and expertise through this process.

I couldn't be more pleased with Karen and the CDM team. They completely redesigned our out of date web site into a beautiful, easily navigable web presence. AND the site is fully responsive on both mobile and tablet device. Our business is booming and I have to attribute a good portion of it to the new web site. The effective design and ease of accessing any info that a Pannullo's patron would be looking for has helped new customers find us and existing customers return again and again. Thanks CDM!!

Karen made and has maintained my Website for years (A small musical enterprise). I would have to say that over 65% of my clients come from the Website. Even my competitors compliment me on her work. On a personal note: I happen to have a outright hatred for anything that concerns technology what so ever. (I still use a flip phone) To make matters worst I have been blessed with a "Hair Trigger Temper". In truth, I don't think anyone else could really have dealt with me in the matter of creating a Website. When you meet Karen, it is obvious that she is a talented, intelligent and creative individual. But out of all her wonderful attributes, the one that I will always admire the most is........ She is "Patient". I recommend her highly and hold her in a high esteem and regard.

Karen has been taking the lead on everything web-related with Madigan Projects for many years. Her knowledge of the ever-changing technology available to us is always very helpful and her willingness to listen to us as the client is even more beneficial. She has a talent for design and is very pleasant to work with. I would strongly recommend hiring chocolatedogmedia.com to help your small business.

Through my shops, Little Shop Of Crafts, I've had the pleasure of working with Karen for over 20 years. She built our original website and rebuilt and upgraded several times throughout the years. Karen's ability to cut through the clutter and create a clear path to whatever was needed, was such a refreshing welcome with things seemingly getting more and more complicated. Regardless when needed, Karen was there to handle the task quickly, efficiently and cost effectively. To sum it up, I'm not sure what I would do without her guidance, wonderful work ethic and creative eye. Thanks KarenHerb Goldberg, Little Shop of Crafts NYC
