Testimonials

What a good experience! In a non-profit based landscape where skinny resources prevail, Jamie's expertise was invaluable. She was clear, patient and kind and a total rock-star. She is so deeply knowledgeable in her subject that our webmaster invited her to work on one of his external projects! That's just good for everyone! We are deeply grateful to CatchaFire as well for attracting top talent and connecting community based organizations with them, benefiting the greater good for all! Thanks Jamie! Amazing!

Website Accessibility Audit Project

I appreciated the ability to work with Teri Cundall and team at Buckelew Programs, not only to identify gaps in accessibility for their website but to help identify higher priority needs within the time budgeted for these fixes. It was a great challenge to have, as it helped me to distill priorities and provide options. I appreciated working together as a team to do this. Great work! Glad to be a part of opening the door to a broader client base.
