HelloARI Design

If you are looking for a great web designer you have come to the right place. Ari really knows his stuff! He was able to put into easy to understand terms simple things that I could do to update my website with tremendous results.

Working with Ari has truly been one of the best things I have done for my business. The new web site he has created has had an amazing domino effect that has really contributed to the success of my company. I highly recommend working with Ari. It's a smart move to make. More...

Ari helped me talk through a website rebuild project for a non-profit member-driven organization. He is really well informed about options available through WordPress and third party plug-ins. He is also knowledgable about SEO. He helped me think through some of the complicated variables and get a better understanding of the scope of the project. He was easy to talk to explained things in a really clear way. I am so grateful for his help. More...

Ari has been hosting, updating, and maintaining my website since 2013. Not only did he build me a fantastic website, but he is also on top of his emails with a very quick response time to my questions, and is up to date on site maintenance.  I feel really secure having him host my site, knowing that he has backups if it breaks or is hacked. I've really never had to worry about whether my site is working properly, and as a business owner who relies on my site for income, that is a lot of weight off my shoulders. I am happy my site is in good hands! More...

HelloAri is very rare in their level of service as a web design company.  They do great quality work.  They give honest estimates.  They are straightforward on what is and is not in their wheelhouse.  My company worked with Ari on front-end wordpress design over the course of a year and not only did they give me a great site, but they also taught me how to do some parts of the work myself so I could handle the simpler, routine tasks on my own.  I highly recommend HelloAri.

I have now been working with Ari Salomon for nearly two years, creating the website for a new online magazine called Craftsmanship (<a href="/redir? url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.craftsmanship.net&amp;s=91470f1c991aa178ef5e2f080a7ecb7c0ada5c08935eb92c857efb4e9ae9a520" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">craftsmanship.net</a>). Ari's attention to detail, his eye for design, and the depth of his knowledge and skill with WordPress are unparalleled.  As proof, consider what another web developer who has been helping market the magazine told me: "The stuff that Ari has been doing for you we would never let you ask for, and we couldn't do it even if you did." Anyone interested in Ari's services should also know this: He is uncommonly patient about discussing every technological possibility there is in what you're planning.  If you are impatient (or technologically challenged) and you just want the job done, this can be frustrating, as it was sometimes for me. So be forewarned. But I eventually learned that the benefits of his methodical approach far outweighed its demerits.  First, it ensures a job done extremely carefully, with all options duly considered. And second, it amounts to a very good deal financially.  Ari typically charges by the job, on a contract basis, not by the hour.  So any meetings you have (and you are likely to have many) are not racking up the clock.  All in all, given the outrageous prices that many website developers charge today, you can be sure you will get what you pay for with HelloARI design--and then some.

I am a first-time author and needed to build a website for my book.  I needed to do it quickly, I needed to do it cheaply, and I needed it to be excellent.  I solicited four bids, and decided to go with Ari, although I was nervous that we could quickly exhaust my budget at his hourly rate, which is pretty standard - not as low as you can get from some less experienced freelancers who are looking to build their portfolios.  But I loved Ari's work.  And he told me that if I gave him a detailed plan of what I wanted and all the content up front, we could work very efficiently.  Was he ever right!  I delivered the plan and the content, and in our first two-hour meeting at his studio, we had already built the core of the site - and it was looking great.  It's very easy for me to use and update the site in WordPress, but it looks like a custom job, and I've gotten nothing but rave reviews on it. Both my agent and my publicist at Penguin Random House told me it's one of the best book websites they've ever seen. There are few things more pleasant than working with someone who is really, really well-suited to their job.  Ari is one of those people.  He has a gift for understanding what you want and delivering it to you, and at least in my case, this involved pretty much zero back and forth.  He just got it.  So if you need to build a site, my advice would be to start by looking at other sites, gathering your content, and planning out in as much detail as possible what you would like.  Then ask Ari to build it for you!

Ari is one of those people who has turned out to be a total Yelp score.  He had amazing reviews so I tried him out.  All the good reviews turned out to be totally spot on. Honestly the web project that I had for him was very involved.  I feel like I gave him a pretty big project that needed lots of custom details.  I am totally blown away by the finished product.  I think Ari has so many positive reviews because it is very difficult to find someone as well rounded as he is.  It is not easy to find someone who is a great coder, but also a great designer, who also has strong business/customer service skills!  He is a rare find.  Thank you so much Ari for what you did for my company, and I look forward to a long business relationship with you.
