My former web development company delivered two half working very expensive websites. I went to Jim for advice and learned so much about hosting and real Wordpress web development. Jim was able to lift and shift both of my websites onto a new hosting environment freeing me from the dependency from a company charging me thousands. Jim is extremely knowledgeable andfixed my problem immediately at a reason able rate. More...

Jim is a pleasure to work with. He is very responsive to questions and very timely with his responses. His work is Innovative yet very reasonable in cost. We are working on two websites and I am very satisfied at our progress. Modifications are very easy and he listens to his customer. More...

Will Willimon always said he was going to make me famous--e.g. Resident Aliens--but it turned out to be Jim Burns. Jim has made me intelligible in a medium that is beyond me. He has done that without simplification. He understands what I have been trying to do. which is no mean achievement I am in his in his debt . More...

When first deciding to search for someone to build a website for my business, I was very anxious as I do not have much IT knowledge at all. When contacting Jim, he set my mind at ease. He was very patient with all of my questions. He was very detailed and I felt very assured that I was going to receive a professional site. Throughout the entire process, Jim kept me informed of the status. He is a true professional that seeks only to provide the best service possible. I strongly urge anyone seeking a website builder to contact Jim. I feel so fortunate to have been connected to Jim. More...

Jim did a truly great job on my web site. He took my humorous ideas and brought them to "life". He's an honorable person and is very highly recommended!

I contacted Jim to get ideas for a web site and he took the time on the phone to explain his service and how he might be able to help. I was traveling to his state and asked that I meet with him and discuss things in person. We met up and I learned more about web sites in an hour with him then people talk about. I would recommend him to anyone looking to set up a site. More...

I’m incredibly grateful for the enthusiastic work Jim has done for me on my website. Not only is he masterful in his technical skills, he’s genuinely interested in my content, asks thoughtful questions, and makes excellent suggestions to improve the reader’s experience. What’s more, Jim explains his work clearly without condescension and is a good teacher, equipping me to learn more rather than leaving me as a passive recipient of what he’s done for me.

Quick to respond, courteous, and reliable.

I couldn’t commend him to someone else more highly.

Not only does James Burns (Jim) produce SPECTACULAR work, he is an OUTSTANDING and PHENOMENAL person to work with as well! My experience with Jim has been nothing less than EXTRAORDINARY! We came to find Jim on Bark after working with a different company on creating a website for us. We were in collaboration with our first web designer for about 6 months long and had a horrible experience. The first people we worked with said they would do it all and work with us to make our site exactly how we wanted it, yet after many months of going back and forth and being treated as if we were asking too much to make our site OURS they couldn't seem to get it right. They said one thing and quoted one price and charged another. We came to him in a time of desperation and frustration and JIM CHANGED THE GAME FOR US! Jim was a pleasure to work with right from the very start! It is not an easy task to take on an already unhappy customer, but he did it with ease! Not only did he listen to what it was we desired, but he added in his opinion and ideas and together we have created a wonderful site that exceeds anything that we could have ever imagined! And guess what....within a matter of MINUTES he had already fixed and improved things we had been begging the previous company to help us change! That is when we knew he was "our guy" and that we were no longer going to be treated as a "job" or a "salary" but more so as a person with dreams and desires to help kick start our growing business! Not only did Jim help us get our site up and running QUICKLY, but he has been there every step of the way to help us with providing support and changes we are making as the months progress! So if you find your self on here looking for the PERFECT person to get the job done and MORE.... Look no further! Jim is the guy to go to! We are so incredibly happy with the work he has done for us and the experience he has created for us! More...

I can't say enough good things about Jim and his work. I knew I needed a website when I found Jim and that was about it. He helped me through the process, offering creative ideas and understood my vision. He was patient, professional and helped create a website that far exceeded my expectations. I look forward to working with Jim again on my next project! More...

I met James Burns(Jim) on the phone about 2 weeks ago. I contacted Jim about building a website for my business. I had looked at several other website builders but settled with Jim once he told me he was old school when it comes to business.
From my perspective, I evaluate people on how they relate to me personally and professionally.
As far as his work goes, Jim has been nothing but exemplary and during the entire process he made me feel very comfortable.
The end product when completed was extremely well organized and to put it mildly, I got way more than what I expected.
If I had to do this again I would only need to make one call this time and I am sure you would guess that I would be calling Jim.
I recommend 100%

When I decided to have a website created I knew that my website was how the world was going to see my company. I knew that based on my website I could either loose or gain business. For this reason, choosing a web developer was a huge deal. I am a person who pays very close attention to detail so I knew I would need a web developer who was very patient and very skilled. I also needed someone with fair pricing and not just looking to make a quick profit.

After days of debating on who to choose, I hired James. James has by far exceeded my expectations. Not only is Jim a very kind and patient person, he is very skilled in web development and SEO. James made sure that every single request was addressed promptly and that I was happy with every single detail. He stuck with me until my end product was something not only I was proud of but something he was proud of developing. James gave me ideas and suggestions when I had no idea what I wanted. Both his guidance and patience throughout this entire process has been unmatched by anybody I have worked with in the past.

If you are detail oriented and looking for someone who is patient, highly skilled and not over priced, James is your guy! I would recommend him to anybody. I will also continue to use him for my future projects.

If you are considering having your web site created by Jim Burns then you are making an excellent choice. Jim completely redesigned AmericanGymTrader. com in just two weeks. Given that we are a database driven site this was no easy task. We have received numerous compliments from around the country.

I had a project in mind to input and track treatment plans. I knew we needed software but I was clueless how to get it done. I took an unpolished idea to Jim and he created what we now call our “pipeline.” Not only was Jim super helpful, he also put on his “business owner’s” hat and implemented other fields that made it better. We had a budget and Jim not only helped keep us on target, he came in under budget. There was not a single time that he wasn’t available to talk to me about the project, or that he was late for a scheduled meeting. If you are looking for someone reliable with excellent skills to help you with your website or a custom web application, do not hesitate to contact Jim. More...

Working with Jim to build a new website was both a pleasure and productive. His knowledge and skill were extremely important in changing and updating my site.

Working with Jim Burns for my website was a pleasure! He gets familiar with what you do, first. Taking that time, in my opinion, is priceless. He creates websites that are easy for clients. If the response is numerical, he creates it that way. How many times do you say, why do I need a keyboard for six number answer, I say it often. Those small things are valuable to me! More...

Thank you Jim!!

Q&As

Clarity and simplicity. Navigability. It's possible and too common to throw too much information at a visitor. Each page must communicate its contents clearly to both visitors and search engines. Visitors should not be made to work too hard if we expect them to stay on the page.

• What is your budget to maintain it?

• What is your budget to promote it?

• Do users need to login?

• Do you have a domain name?

• Do you have a hosting account?

• Do you want to be able to manage site data? If yes, to what extent? Is it worth paying more for functionality that will reduce the need for a web developer later?

Helping business owners promote their business and conduct business on the Internet. Bringing the client's vision to life.

A desire to chart my own course. Being employed has advantages, but for me working independently is more satisfying.

Skills, experience and predictability.

I have over 20 years of business experience and been doing web development since 2012. The client testimonials on my website testify to their satisfaction. I do what I say, which makes me predictable.

I understand the need for value, for getting the most bang for the buck. I seek to bring value. But value does not mean being the least expensive. The "cheap" solution can be the right or wrong solution based on short and long-term objectives. If you know what you're talking about, you can list the pros and cons of what you recommend to clients.
