I was hesitant to use him purely due to high cost. But now that I've used him I can see the difference between the so-called web designers and developers or whatever you want to call them. He is an expert in what he does, he is very honest, very helpful and tells you things the way they are. No fancy sales talk. Just what you really need to do to make your website to work. Basically, if you want high quality and standards for work then he's your guy. Not cheap, but really really good. It's worth the money if you are serious about what you do.
