Working with Mike B. has been a good experience. I am a very visual person and trying to build a webpage was not an easy task but Mike was patient and quick to respond to all of my questions. He took the time to explain what needed to be done (sometimes explaining something a couple different ways) but always made sure I understood before letting me go. Working with his designer (Mike R.) was a great experience as well. He is very creative and willing to try anything to make the site exactly the way I wanted. Since the webpage has been launched I have had to contact Mike B. about how to change a few things and he called me right away and walked me through what needed to be done. Building a webpage was something that I would have never thought I could do but working with Blumenthals made it a very simple and positive experience. - Jason Weeks, Mobility Outreach Coordinator

We are extremely pleased with the finished product! The Riverwalk Plaza Website designed by Blumenthals is beautiful and very functional! Mike and his designer worked with us for several months perfecting the content to help us maximize its effectiveness as a marketing tool for the Plaza and our stores. I was a little intimidated at first about maintaining its content. However, part of Blumenthal's service is to instruct the end user in the operation and maintenance of the web site. It has proved to be very easy to maintain and when we have a question, Blumenthals is just a phone call or e-mail away with a prompt solution - DG, Riverwalk Plaza Manager
