Darrell was ALWAYS available! He was so helpful in answering all my questions and ensuing I understood all the steps I needed to take to create the most professional and appealing website for my Firm. I really liked that, because of his experience and expertise, he was able to give me advise on what may or may not be the best/most appropriate information to add, pictures, etc. The level of professionalism and his knowledge of all things IT gives me assurance I can always reach out to him for any IT solution and you don't have to wait weeks for a response.

Whitney Pinkney
I was most impressed that Darrell was able to take the pages from my website and get them to a point where we could take the next step to refine the pages to my ideas. I was very happy with his response to my suggestions and requests on various components of the page; images, text, etc.

After updating my site, he took some time to show me how to do my own editing and use the tools he put into place. Kudos, Mr. Jordan!

Michael Beall
Jordan Web Solutions does a fantastic job of not only illustrating content, but also making sure to use phrases and words that will get your site to pop up in search engines. Professional, knowledgable, and quick. I would recommend them to anyone.

David Kibler
Darrell listened to what I wanted and designed the web site accordingly. He worked with us making changes as the site developed. He also had good suggestions and provided the instruction I needed.

Rick Mordoff
Darrell was extremely creative, he had a lot of ideas for my website, which was fantastic because I didn't really know what was possible, or what exactly I wanted. He filled in a lot of gaps! He was also extremely patient with me, since I am not as tech savvy as some. I would definitely work with him again!

AJ Mortara
Darrell Jordan has designed and maintained our church website for the past several years. Darrell is creative, efficient, and very accommodating. He has gone “above and beyond” to give us exactly what we’re looking for. I recommend him highly!

Mark Jones
I’ve worked with Darrell for nearly 7 years. He has hosted several of my business websites, and I have recommended him to several family members and friends. He is professional, and very accessible, which is important when you need help with a business website. Much better than working with a large, faceless corporation.

Feoshia Davis
I want to thank you for the work you did building us a new website. We are very pleased. The site looks so good. We are proud to call it our’s. I appreciate how agreeable you were to work with. You didn’t make us feel dumb because we knew so little about what we were doing. Thanks for that. Our new website is going to serve us for years to come. Once again, thank you.
