What Do People Say About Virtually Marj?

Marj Wyatt - Founder/Owner Virtually Marj

  • Marj transformed my website into an effective marketing tool and educational resource for clients. Her eye for layout and design, combined with her technical expertise, made the process streamlined. I enjoyed her vibrant sense of humor and communication skills, as she implicitly understood that business owners are not spending hours learning WordPress! I will continue, with great joy, to work with her in the future.

  • I came to Marj with a large vision for my project Generation Next Summit. With her thorough knowledge of WordPress, she was able to take my vision and create our project's web presence. I recommend working with Marj on your WordPress site, whatever your needs may be. She has the skills and insight to design your project so that it not only is a site that's nice to look at but also functions well behind the scenes.

  • When I need expert support to remedy a problem or customize some feature on a WordPress site, Marj is always my go-to professional. I give my unreserved recommendation of Marj Wyatt to anyone needing to customize or streamline their website, make it responsive or give it a new face. Marj's design and development skills are outstanding and her professionalism is beyond reproach.

  • Marj has worked with me on several challenging projects. Her WordPress skills and attention to detail are exceptional. For a Drupal to WordPress migration project, Marj found a method to convert Drupal articles to WordPress posts and cleaned up the link structures to agree with those of the Drupal site. The conversion was flawless and her efforts saved hours of work for myself and my client.

  • From time to time at level343, we bring in outside consultants to work on projects. More often than not they don’t meet the client and don’t know what the clients need. We anticipate subcontractors to be professional and have the years of know how to ask the right questions. That’s the experience we’ve had working with Marj Wyatt. She’s our go to professional that delivers work on time and within budget.

  • I have worked with Marj Wyatt on several WordPress projects. Marj listened to my general and sometimes vague ideas of what I want my sites to look like and how I want them to function and artfully crafted a plan to meet my desires, giving me guidance on how the sites can function. I feel she has gone above and beyond the call of duty on each and every project. She has under promised and over delivered each time.

  • What an awesome woman! Marj built my website from the ground up with a simple brief from me. She held my hand through the process, guiding me about what was available through WordPress. Her depth of knowledge was astounding and it gave me continual confidence. Marj was also fabulous at the creative side of my site - I left much of the design to her and she came up with some innovative ideas on layout and style. Marj - you rock!

  • Virtually Marj delivered a custom site for my radio show that is very easy for me to use and update on my own. Her work was flawless! Marj understands more than code though. She understands what it takes to market a website business. She's always easy to work with and adapts quickly and professionally to the frequent change of direction in my business.

  • I love working with Marj because she is very responsive. More than once, she has saved the day when unexpected website related trouble has cropped up. She cares. In a world of undependable freelancers, Marj does what she says she will do and gives good value for the dollar. That's why I've worked with her for the past 5 years. If you are looking for a WordPress expert, you'll be in good hands with Marj.

  • It was a blessing that Marj answered an ad I placed for a WordPress Ninja. Her work was fast and quality. She has a strong ability to simply convey complex technical concepts. I gave her a challenging WordPress task and she was able to complete it on time, with bells on and even went the extra mile to fix a couple of things that I hadn’t noticed. We continued to work together for years. I strongly encourage you to hire Marj for any WordPress project.

For Site Owners

Have you decided it's time to launch your own website? Or maybe you have one, but it needs a new look and feel? Maybe your site is down or you're afraid that you've been hacked and you don't know how to fix it. Or, maybe your software expert has stopped communicating with you and you need help now.

Whatever your business reasons are for seeking help, you've come to the right place. I will help you navigate through the maze of options and bring your website vision to life quickly and inexpensively. If you need a new site or an updated look and you haven't found any pre-built layouts that work for your business, I will create a fully responsive, customized website that can help you attract and land more customers.

If you've used WordPress, you already know that there are a multitude of plug-ins to choose from, for virtually any purpose. But using plug-ins can sometimes cause problems. They might introduce vulnerabilities at the site, conflict with other plug-ins or employ non-standard or outdated code. Even if none of these issues exist, using too many plug-ins can still slow down your website substantially.

With more than half of today's searches being performed on mobile devices, the amount of time it takes for your site's pages to load is important. Most users won't wait and they'll move on to another site. If the search engines' algorithms see that a your site loads slowly, that can cause it to rank lower than competing sites that load faster. Even worse, if users return to the search results and choose a different site, that can also hurt your rankings.

For nearly a decade, I've helped people just like you find solutions for their online business. I've done everything from personal blogs to complex ecommerce or membership sites. And, I specialize in WordPress because it makes life easier for you. While it's a great basic platform, I realized early on that there is always room for improvements so you can use your site efficiently and effectively. You may want some unique non-standard design features, or you may be looking for a way to simplify the addition of new text, image or video content... my role is to deliver your site your way.

When we work together, you can count on quality results and regular communication. While I still use plug-ins for some things, I've learned that it is more effective to put the necessary functions directly into your new site, which leads to faster load times and lower resource consumption. This also assures that your customized functions are less likely be affected by periodic updates to your website.

For Agencies

We all know that even when the scope of work has been clearly defined for a new development project, there will still be changes and additions before (and sometimes after) the site finally launches. Substantial changes can wreak havoc with your business's workflow, sometimes causing other projects to slip and harming your agency's relationships with clients.

Whether you have in-house developers or not, when you have a working relationship with a professional web developer outside your organization, this needn't be a concern. Unexpected changes may affect one project, but not others. And if you suddenly land a fast-track project, but your staff doesn't have the bandwidth to handle it, you can hand it off to someone you know will deliver on-point and on-time.

I have decades of experience managing complex software development and implementation projects. I know how to stay on schedule and on budget, while eliminating the many pain-points that can arise during an upgrade or transition. I can deliver your clients' sites smoothly and efficiently, with no surprises.

My pricing is extremely competitive and I consistently deliver sites that are streamlined, efficient and bug-free. Check out the testimonials from a few of my clients, then either contact me or complete a project summary form to open the discussion. I will explain how I can save you time and money, while ensuring that your clients are thoroughly satisfied.

Resources and Tools that I Use and Recommend

If you're looking for website-related resources or tools, you can rely on suggestions made by a developer who is concerned with website performance, high-quality coding practices, and excellent support. In my business dealings, I frequently come upon resources and software that meet those standards and, after using them myself, feel feel very comfortable recommending them to my friends, clients and colleagues. In this area, you'll find such sponsored recommendations.
