The company also now has the ability to update and expand the site themselves!

High Country Stoves and Chimneys was truly a great client to work with, as they provide a much-needed service to their local area. With their new website design, they are reaching out to their customers with an effective, informative, appealing welcome.

"We chose Solas Web Design for our new website because we liked the professional look of the other websites that they had done, and because they really seemed to genuinely like what they do. They really know their business and gently guided us in the correct way to make our website score well with the search engines so that our website could do everything we need it to do for our business. I am very excited to promote and share it with our customers instead of being embarrassed that our website was not truly representing the professional image of our company.

"Miriam and Liam, as Solas Web Design, earned my business to develop a website for Green Acres Manor. As we went through the process of developing the site, I knew that they were well equipped to create an innovative site that expressed the vision, features, and services of my business. I had very specific ideas in mind that they were able to understand and interpret and turn into the wonderful website that they did. It took a few meetings to get all the details into focus, but the end product was something that amazed even me. It exceeded my expectations. This website brought us national attention and business from that point forward. We continued our relationship through the years and continued to enhance our website and add features to it as we expanded our business. They developed two more websites for us as we added a second business and continued to grow. They have since redeveloped the Green Acres Manor site and made it even better.

"What is so nice about dealing with Miriam and Liam is their ability to listen to ideas and help bring into focus how to convey that onto the website. They have consulted many times with me on web based business ideas that I've had. They bring an honest and professional perspective to the table and truly care about what the outcome will bring. They also bring a very personable approach to doing business and true willingness to help which you don't always see in today's business environment. They want my business to succeed as much as I do. I have recommended their business to others and will actively continue to do so. I wish Miriam and Liam all the success in the world."
