“I now have clear goals for my business in the present as well as for the future. Their guidance has set my business up for success by providing me with different sources of information that I can use. They view my business from multiple perspectives and pinpoint areas where I am excelling, as well as areas that need improvement. Their knowledge is undeniable, and they have a unique perspective that allows them to see things that others don’t. They are critical thinkers who support business owners’ success, and they are always honest, friendly, and straightforward.”

“Working with Sword and Spark allowed me to be more informed as a consumer. There were things that I was totally unaware of, that was affecting my SEO and the ability for my potential patients to see my business online.
I would recommend anyone who is in the situation where they are overwhelmed by the idea of taking a website and actually having it work for you. There is a huge difference between website aesthetic/design and a website that will actually perform for you.”
