How we’ve helped others focus on their mission instead of their website.

We hardly know how to act! We are so thrilled with our new website that you designed! We find it user-friendly and just what we need! WOW!
In the last week or so, we have noticed that volunteers are accessing the website either to volunteer or to obtain more information. It has been our goal to build our volunteer base and it looks like the website will be a valuable tool in doing so. We also note that other agencies have acknowledged accessing it in their correspondence.
May we thank you again for your help and expertise. God be with you and bless you!

We needed a complete update of our website including graphics, site design, content presentation and hosting services. Levaire had great artwork and graphics models for us, they are Michigan-based (close to us), and they were the most responsive in our initial contact-questions-answers mode.
We made the correct decision. Matt was very helpful, very quick with solutions in response to our questions, very competitive in terms of the cost, and offered an overall package that made it so easy we didn’t feel we needed to look further. It turned out to be the correct move for us and we are very pleased with the results.
I would certainly recommend Levaire to anyone looking for website design or re-design, hosting, website traffic analytics, graphics, speed of getting the project done, and professionalism. We knew we made the correct choice for us the further along we got into the project, and—now that we are done—we are very satisfied with the results.

I knew nothing about web design and was in quite a hurry. I did know creating an entire new site from scratch in short period of time would not be easy. I was impressed with the sample sites Levaire sent me and the quick responses I received from email communications.
At first I was nervous about not using a local designer. I was concerned that not sitting down with the designer would adversely effect the quality and timeline of a new site. Matt was excellent to work with throughout the whole process. When we wanted changes and tweaks to the site, he was quick in responding. I believe we ended up with a really nice web site. We have had a very positive response so far and I have faith that, as time goes on, Levaire will be there to help our site grow and develop further.

I had started a web page with AT&T and they were charging me a fortune each month but I could never get anything changed. I needed my providers to be able to upload files to me and no one could tell me if it was possible. Matt took over and it has been great. Have had great feedback about my new web page. I needed someone to take over and just do it. I do not have time to play around nor have time to figure it out myself. Levaire did it all for me! I already have told 3 or 4 people to call Levaire and will continue to do so.

My objective was to develop an online presence that was both informational for environmental concerns as well as inviting for prospective clients. After meeting Matt Schoenherr, I felt that I could work effectively with his firm. Levaire successfully completed my project well within the timeline requirements we agreed upon. The project went smoothly and Matt was responsive to my needs.
I will gladly recommend Levaire to others in my profession and I have confidence that the services I received would also be well-received by others.

We had gone through two website redesigns, with mixed results, before turning to Matt and Levaire. What took us six months to accomplish on our own, Matt completed in less than one months’ time.
We had a price range in mind and did not want to go over budget. We went through a competitive bid process for both websites and Levaire came out 80% less than the competition. Since we were new to the redesigning of websites, we weren’t sure what we were going to get, but we were more than pleased with the final product.
Not only were our websites completed on time and on budget, but the work was great too! Matt was very professional and always followed up in a timely manner and was very helpful in answering any questions throughout the process.
I would definitely recommend Matt and the team at Levaire to anybody looking for a great website at an affordable price.

Levaire is a true partner for business start-ups. Matt Schoenherr designed and built a wonderful website for my art and photography business. More importantly, Matt knows what it takes to make a website successful “behind the website”. Matt’s experience with web hosting sites, setting up the financial transactions for e-commerce and general web marketing skills were invaluable to me.

Matt, you built me a fantastic website. I had very high expectations, and you exceeded them. The responses from people who have seen it have been tremendous. Working together we created a site with personality and great content, just what I was hoping for. You also delivered it quickly, which was another of my needs. I would recommend you without hesitation to anyone who wants a great representation for their business on the World Wide Web.

I began working at the University Quality Inn in October of 2008 and was amazed that when I took over no one really knew how to update our web site. It took me several long months of trying to get information from our web site provider before I could finally get on the site. I found it extremely difficult to get our provider to offer any information and everything took several phone calls to get answers. The final straw came when one day out of the blue, I could no longer get into the site where we make changes. It took me a week and a half to get any kind of an answer from our provider as to what the problem might be. I was told I would need to purchase additional software to be able to update our site. I was troubled by this as we were paying a large sum of money each month to have our site hosted by this provider and I thought that any updates should have been automatically provided for us as we really ask them for very little as we could make most of our own changes. Then I put the question to them, “If I purchase this software can you give me a percentage number as to how sure you are that this software will fix our problem?” They could not even give me a 50/50 on it. So I was faced with spending $100+plus dollars on software that may or may not fix the problem! Imagine asking my boss to pay for that and then telling him it did not fix the problem—not good. So I decided to call around to some other companies and came across Levaire. They provided a very quick response to my call, talked to me in a language I could understand and gave me a time frame to get a new site up and running that seemed very reasonable. Plus they were a third of the cost we were currently paying for little or no service. I took the proposal to my boss and he gave it the green light and Levaire has been my absolute hero since. Extremely easy to work with, they updated our site and made it look so awesome, I get compliments on a daily basis and—as much as I would love to take all of the credit—I most definitely cannot. Levaire is amazing and I would highly recommend them to anyone for their web site needs.

Levaire designed a logo for us that far exceeded our expectations. It is remarkable on how close the design reflects my mother, after whom our business is named. We were looking for something that resembles the quality of our products and also expresses who we are. Mr. Schoenherr took our words and put them into a design of exquisite quality. We couldn’t be happier with the finished product.

We did a complete overhaul of our website. Levaire worked with us from start to finish, holding our hand during the entire process, making template and plug-in recommendations, and being available at all points to assist with needed changes and shifts to the website as they arose.
We had previous experience working with Levaire and loved working with them. They have always been incredibly efficient with work of exceptional quality. It seemed like an easy decision to work with Levaire for our new website redesign.
With other vendors, we have at times had difficulty turning our conception to reality. We have very clear ideas about the outcomes we want, but don’t always have a good sense of the steps that bear out those outcomes. The Levaire team is phenomenal in moving our concepts in ways that make sense for our internal capacity and budget.
We would strongly recommend Levaire to others. They are incredibly helpful, respond quickly, and go above and beyond to ensure that the work they are doing is beyond satisfactory. Even with the tight timeline we gave them, they worked tirelessly to ensure that our final product was as we had envisioned. The best part about Levaire is that everyone on their team is such a pleasure to work with!

Staffing
We were looking to have a new website created that would give are clients more information and more tools to assist them with finding employees and jobs for our applicants, along with a new logo, color scheme, and slogan. We also wanted a web-based employment application that would communicate with our existing database software.
Levaire was light years ahead of the competition in a variety of areas: Fast response time, professionalism, value added services, and most importantly understanding my company’s needs.
We feel like we have invested in a trusted business partner. Our new site is fantastic! Levaire was a pleasure to work with from day one. If something needed to be tweaked or went wrong Levaire handled the issue ASAP!
If you are looking for a new website or need your current site brought up to date there is only one company we would recommend and that is Levaire. The value added services that are offered puts them in a league all their own. When you hire Levaire to handle your website design and hosting services you can expect to be treated professionally, offered quick response time, and feel like you have added a new member to your own team. The staff at Levaire take tremendous pride in their work.

GCSI sorely needed to modernize its corporate webpage to reflect its status as Michigan’s No. 1 lobbying firm. Specifically, we wanted to grow the site from merely an electronic brochure to a dynamic post so rife with timely information that it becomes an indispensable part of our valued clients’ daily routines.
GCSI chose Levaire for this important assignment for a myriad of reasons, including:
- Its Principal, Matt Schoenherr, made time to fully understand our vision for our webpage and was even more deliberate about ensuring we comprehended the highly technical jargon of his profession.
- The company did not over-promise to score our business, but, rather, was bluntly honest about its service offerings and the amount of time it would take it to meet our expectations.
- Levaire offered a smorgasbord of webpage-development services from which to choose, such that we could control our costs while building the site. And all of Levaire’s charges were competitive, yet reasonable.
GCSI is happy with its decision to invest this project with Levaire. Simply put: the company delivered what it promised, making helpful suggestions along the way – all the while allaying our anxieties.
GCSI would delight in recommending Levaire to others in need of webpage development or overhaul. Their expertise is conspicuous and attention to detail, top shelf.

I feel that Levaire invested the time necessary to try to understand the needs of my business, and then took the information I provided and developed a great website. Because this is not my area of expertise I have had many questions along the way. Those questions have always been answered in a very timely manner, many times after normal working hours. The quality of service I have received from Levaire—and Matt Schoenherr, in particular—has been absolutely excellent.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Levaire to anyone in need of web development. It is truly refreshing to find a company that does what they say they are going to do in a very professional manner.

To the Levaire team,
A few words about the service we received from Levaire.
For the record, our office has been delighted with the level of quality service you have provided us.
When we first approached you, our intranet had grown into an unruly thing that was slow to launch (when it did successfully) and unmanageable (with over 1,200 files to sift through!) As you are aware, a key challenge being faced by any agency is ensuring that their future growth and development remain manageable. We already knew an intranet could be a valuable and effective business tool for an organization, so we were frustrated ours wasn’t serving us better.
You worked closely with us to make sure the next version fit our needs and brought together the expertise to get the job done. Finally, our intranet is a strategic asset that supports our key business processes, delivers training, improves efficiency, and creates greater staff and customer satisfaction. Not only does our new intranet look great; it is now twice the resource it was when it was started.
Thanks again for all the hard work.
With the utmost appreciation and admiration,
Tim Scott

Well, Matt, what to say? Levaire continues to do superb work for Davenport Masonry. When we first brought you in, we were looking to improve the way we accepted and tracked job applications for our contractors across Michigan. We knew the current system of paper applications in a filing cabinet and relying on tribal knowledge of jobs and applicants wasn’t the way to continue. Your professional approach to the task inspired confidence and the result of your efforts—the Davenport Masonry Job Application Management System—has been a wonderful tool that allows us to collect, track, and sort job applicants through the application and interview process, all the way to hire. With some additional enhancements later this autumn, we’ll be able to track our contractors all the way through job completion, including the tracking of performance reviews and other vital information that will help us to further raise the bar for achieving excellence in the masonry industry.
Then, there is the Davenport Masonry website. Wow. Nice work. We knew it would be a challenge. We had our previous site for years and it had grown to over 100 pages. Newsletters, project case studies, articles, video, contact information and biographies—it all had to be redone. To top it all off, we wanted to be able to update the site ourselves. Levaire took us to the next level. Now we have a Flash intro, we can edit our own content (this is huge), and a sharp new look and feel that highlights some of our favorite projects and sets the tone for the kind of work we do. By the end of summer, we’ll also have the estimator tool—a web application that allows our industry partners and clients to begin planning and pricing their masonry projects. Thank you so much for the great work Levaire continues to do for us. Your reliability and expertise are hugely appreciated.

My initial challenge was the fear of unknown territory. I think most people do not want to take that step into the new and unfamiliar. Levaire made me feel comfortable from the very first phone call. They have made every step easy, without pressure, and I think that’s very important to me and many people who are in business today.
First, one of my own clients referred Levaire to me as we were discussing my idea to look into a website for our business. From there I talked to Matt and immediately found he was patient, informative and he talked to me in layman’s terms. I am not a tech guy, but the information Matt gave me and the options he explained made the whole process go quite smoothly.
I knew, as a business, we needed to explore the web for another avenue of exposure. I feel the web and Levaire has opened the door to more avenues than I ever imagined. Advertising is expensive but I was amazed at how little it cost to reach so many people compared to newspaper, TV and other forms of exposure for our business. I am excited about the many other angles of exposure and marketing that Levaire can direct our business in. Now we can reach past and future clients with the help of Matt and his staff.
