January, 2022- 5 Star Rating on Google

Michelle is a winner. If you need a website built stop looking and just call her. I had the best experience. She built our site Standupworld.com from an idea and turned it into a reality exactly the way I wanted to even when I kept changing my mind. She helped avoid pitfalls and was patient and polite and gave intelligent advice to someone who didn’t know the backend of the tech in anyway. I can not recommend her any higher. Five stars no doubt! Mike.

September, 2022 – 5 stars on Google and Yelp

Five Stars aren’t enough! My organization’s website needed to be rebuilt after we were hacked—and that sentence represents all of my knowledge of websites. Thankfully, Michelle knows everything! She was the perfect professional–patient in taking the time to understand our goals, listen to our needs, and make sure that the end product was exactly right for us. She did an absolutely fantastic job, and made it work within my nonprofit’s budget. She is thorough, incredibly knowledgeable, efficient, and as a bonus Michelle is a pure delight to work with. Would recommend her most highly for any job!

INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE!

Michelle is quite a find: proficient, efficient, creative, attentive, accommodating, professional and someone who really cares about the work she does and her clients. I’ve been working on a 7 year passion project and explored the option of bringing in a professional to redesign the website, each time being disappointed with my options, until I found “I Ain’t Your Momma”. We are incredibly happy with the design, functionality and strategic SEO employed by Michelle. She takes the time to explain everything clearly while making her self available for many last minute changes. She was also accommodating when it comes to schedule demands allowing us to meet all our goals with regard to new website release and marketing.

The irony is even though she “ain’t my Momma” she certainly went the extra mile treating me and the project with the love and care that family would. It’s always a gamble finding someone online who you have not met and making a judgment call based on reviews. Finding Michelle was like winning the lottery, we are eternally grateful!

Our nonprofit corporation had a tired looking website that Michelle did wonders with. She gave us a total redesign that looks modern and crisp, with full attention to SEO issues. I had excellent communication with Michelle during the process of getting all copy, graphics and photos in optimal shape. She also prepared a super nice site for my wife’s personal business.

I would recommend “I Ain’t Your Momma” for any website work large or small. Michelle is responsive and professional

I had a very old outdated website that I was embarrassed about, it didn’t look good in mobile phones and it had spam keywords written all over it, which everyone kept telling me looked terrible and was really bad for SEO. A friend told me I had to hire Michelle to fix it, as she is the best.

She built me a new site and also kept my original site up so I wouldn’t lose any business. When new site was approved by me, she switched them over. She also moved me off Godaddy to Siteground which is better and faster hosting.

My new site looks modern and so professional now, I am receiving calls from clients. I would highly recommend Michelle, I am very pleased with her and my new site.

I went to Michelle after being really disappointed with a major website developer. I had a great experience with her. She is smart, fast, creative, patient, knowledgable and flexible. She easily understood my vision for my website. She was very timely in responding to my emails and calls. Michelle also gives great feedback and guidance to make sure your website is being seen by your target audience. I highly recommend her!!

After researching web designers on the net and talking to a few on the phone, I became so disillusioned. I had this thought of working with an independent designer and came across “I AINT YOUR MOMMA”. After listening to sales pitches about how everyone could save my business, I knew what I was looking for and found it with Michelle. Her knowledge about building a website exceeded my expectations. She took the time to really explain how websites work and most importantly she didn’t pressure me into signing on the dotted line. This experience was educational and the results were amazing. Michelle is thorough and honest and delivers on time and I have no doubt that she was the perfect choice to make my ergonomics business grow. If you are considering upping your game, I AINT YOUR MOMMA is the Name!

Then I came across Michelle. Wow, what a breath of fresh air. She returned my call almost immediately, took the time to listen to my questions and patiently explained to me what she thought would be the best options for me and my tea party business. It also helped that we’re both Brits, so she understood my vision.

We met in person for at least 2 hours and she walked me through the entire process of creating a new site. I have to admit I’m a bit clueless when it comes to all the technical babble like SEO, key words, links etc, but I’ve learned an awful lot thanks to Michelle and now feel much more confident in managing my social media and promoting my business on line.  

Michelle was always available to answer any questions I had, either by text or phone and she implemented any changes I made to the emerging web site in a timely fashion. I really felt like we were a team and that she cared about my business.  

I’m absolutely thrilled with my new website. Thank you Michelle, it was such a pleasure to work with you.

I selected Michelle Farrell’s company after a thorough Yelp search of web designers in the Santa Monica area. When it comes to the sort of business-calling-card/brochure/blogging/ecommerce platform I wanted to build, I was looking for three factors 1) Functionality, 2) Design (very important for my art-related business) and 3) search engine optimization (SEO.)

Of all the designers I searched, three companies had websites and portfolios that really stood out, both visually and functionally, and of those three only two specialized in the sort of site I was looking to build. After speaking with I Ain’t Your Momma and the other designer, it became clear that Michelle was far and away better suited to do the work I needed, largely because she has years and years of SEO experience and was also super-friendly and accessible.  There isn’t much of a point in building a website that doesn’t show up high in a Google search list and visibility is really the name of the game. And, there is no reason to work with somebody who isn’t a pleasure to interact with.

Michelle’s specialty is in working with WordPress templates, which presents a minus and some big plusses.

The minus is that makes her work heavily dependent on the sort of functionality currently available as a WordPress plug-in.

But on the plus side, there is a whole world of WordPress plug-ins, that can deliver some amazing functions – like making social media imagery a big part of a web design or presenting eye-catching slideshows.  An even bigger plus is that because the site exists in a format that doesn’t necessitate deep coding knowledge to manipulate, I now can alter the content on my site myself, at will, without having to contact Michelle in order to do so – which is a big, big deal. That means that I can make seasonal changes or even daily alterations without coordinating or scheduling with Michelle.

Michelle dedicated a very generous amount of time toward evaluating my professional, aesthetic and functional needs. She patiently saw to it that our visions converged on a final site that delivers exactly what I was hoping for and that I’m proud to share with colleagues and clients – all for a very fair price.

Here is a link to the site she designed, if you want to take a look:

It has been great having Michelle re-work our website. If we would have known the clarity of her communication and the ease of all the visualizations, we would have had her do this update years ago. Michelle was wonderful to work with and we are very pleased with the quality of her work.

Working with Michelle is a great experience, and she is now our go-to provider for SEO/website services. I was in need of an SEO audit, having completed the initial launch of my new website. I did an online search for local companies and came across Michelle’s website, which outlined her extensive background with SEO/web design and great client feedback. I was very encouraged that she made time to speak to me immediately. Michelle provided quick turn-around on a very thorough audit with stellar recommendations specific to my industry and needs. She has been very professional (and patient!) while bringing me up-to-speed on best SEO practices. We will continue working with Michelle as we develop and grow our website.
