About

Hi, My name is Darrin Michael

 

I’m a web designer, search engine marketing specialist, social media “mad scientist”, freelance writer, teacher and graphic designer…just to name a few. 

Helping businesses, groups and organizations build an online presence which is both dynamic and engaging for their visitors is my passion. I offer a variety of services including content management, web design, social media management, graphic design, digital photography, blog writing and more. Ultimately, every client I work with has their own unique needs. I take pride in delivering a unique approach to online marketing for every client, specific to them.

Work

Helping out business owners from local markets has been a cause for me since starting in the search industry.  Many small businesses are looking for an easy-to-understand, simple and efficient way to develop their presence online, and ultimately drum up new business.

These days it can be incredibly daunting task trying to locate someone to not only manage your entire online presence, but also help you understand how it all works. Helping my clients understand the online presence is something I specialize in.

Testimonials

“Michael Web Solutions has gone above and beyond to meet my website management needs! The response time is quick and the communication is consistent with updates. There was one situation where there was some custom coding that needed to be changed, and I was kept informed during the whole process which took a bit longer than the initial plan. I can’t say enough about the reliability and affordability of services provided. I have recommended Darrin to many others looking for a website, which means Michael Web Solutions has my seal of approval.”
