Karen is very creative and willing to work with site owners,
no matter their cyber "savviness." Her design and upgrading of my
www.GumboWriter.com
site has brought many good comments, and I am pleased with her continued
willingness to work with me on ideas, updating, or whatever I need.

I am writing to thank you for your outstanding work restructuring and
maintaining my website, and for your help in the design. Last August I
had registered 8,000 hits. In less than a year, we now have 32,000 hits.
This increased hit rate occurred immediately upon your restructuring of
the search tags.
I am looking forward to redesigning the site to include some of your
creative suggestions and state of the art features.
Thank you for your timely updating, as requested, and thank you for your
partnership in growing my business.
Sincerely,

Hi All,
Karen is AWESOME! And yes, not only did she put together the huge
Momwriters.com
website, but she continuously
maintains it on a voluntary basis. We wouldn't have the fabulous
Momwriters website if it weren't for Karen. And in case you didn't know,
Momwriters.com
has been named Writer's Digests Top 101 Websites for Writers for FIVE
YEARS IN A ROW!
Lemme, tell you, the lady knows her stuff!
You don't hear much from Karen, but she is furiously working behind the
scenes not only as our wonderful web mistress, but as a Momwriters
Moderator also.

Karen Hawkins designed the Momwriters.com website 3 years ago. She has
also maintained and updated literally hundreds of pages since that time,
many of them monthly. I am extremely pleased with the professional job
Karen has provided, and I highly recommend her if you are looking for a
professional web site builder. You can view the Momwriters website at
www.Momwriters.com.
Sincerely Yours,

I would like to tell you about Karen Hawkins -- both her talents as a
webmistress and designer as well as her dedication to her work.
For the past few years, Karen has been the webmistress of the
Momwriters(tm) web site,
www.Momwriters.com.
During this time, she has done a wonderful job of initially designing,
later redesigning and constantly updating the site. She spends countless
hours each month putting her talents to work in these ways. As a result
of her ceaseless efforts, the Momwriters (tm) web site has been named by
Writer's Digest Magazine as one of the "101 Best Web Sites for Writers"
for the past three years.
I believe that it is Karen's dedication to her work that drives her to
put forth these efforts for the Momwriters (tm) site. As a contributor
to the site and a member of the Momwriters (tm) group, I have enjoyed
working Karen and respect her dedicated spirit. She is incredibly
talented and I believe that she would be an invaluable asset to any web
site with which she was to work.
Sincerely,
Lisa Beamer

Please be advised, Karen Hawkins, has helped design my business web
site:
www.brassandmore.com. I have appreciated the timeliness and
efficiency of her work. Karen is very conscientious and quick to respond
to my questions and demands.
The web site functions, are not my forte. Karen has worked with trying
to help me understand the background work so that we could work hand in
hand with making the site more user friendly. She is very quick to get a
job done and I find myself always lagging behind. This has been a
detriment to her but a benefit of my customers.
I most sincerely recommend her as a candidate for employment.

My name is Linda Della Donna. You don't know me. Yet! I am a new writer.
Not long ago, I trolled the internet for a webmistress. Big mistake. I
didn't know better. Now I do. After a terrible experience and a horrible
web site, I didn't know what to do, or who to turn to for help. I was
afraid to trust another on-line stranger! That was until I met Karen
Hawkins.
I want every one to know that there is some one out here who is a
marvelous web mistress, someone who came to my rescue and helped me get
my web site up and running.
Karen Hawkins, known as
barefoot@offthewallemporium.com , is the lady who did the web site
for momwriters.com
and others, but most of all, she is the lady who helped me when I
had no place to go, no one to turn to, felt lost, alone, and unwelcome.
Karen is professional, reliable, and patient.
Karen doesn't get angry if I ask, "Please correct the spelling of a
word;" she doesn't mind if I say, "Please take that sentence out. Please
put this sentence in." Karen doesn't get annoyed if I change my mind.
Best of all, Karen has suggestions, and they are good ones!
I want everyone to know how Karen rescued me when I became a victim and
didn't know what to do.
Thanks to Karen Hawkins, I am proud of my web site,
littleredmailbox.com.
Karen prepared everything from scratch, she didn't use canned templates,
she created new ones, especially for me, and I know Karen worked hard.
There were days when Karen didn't feel well, but it didn't matter. Karen
put her best face forward and got the job done. By way of this public
e-mail, I take my hat off to Karen Hawkins at
barefoot@offthewallemporium.com, and thank her from the bottom of my
heart.
Please, everyone, visit my web site,
littleredmailbox.com, and see for yourself what Karen at
barefoot@offthewalemporium.com did for me. I promise, Karen will do
the same for you. Just say, "Linda sent me!"

"When I set up a website for my online business and
hired Karen Hawkins to design and maintain it, I got not only a web
designer, but a web designer who cares about her clients. Karen designed
exactly the kind of site I imagined for my business and continues to be
wonderful to work with when I need updates or changes.
If you are looking for a talented web designer who will not forget about
you or your site once the initial work is complete, I would highly
recommend Karen Hawkins."

Karen Hawkins and I have worked together for 15 months on my project:
Obadiah Press. She has done an excellent job on our website. Our site
receives rave reviews from all who visit. (www.obadiahpress.com)
My website started out as a vision -- I knew how I wanted it to look but
couldn't implement it myself. I shared my vision with Karen and she
made it a reality. She took my ideas and my description and brought my
website to life! There are few in this world that have such dedication
and appreciation for their clients.
Besides being nice to work with, she finishes her projects on time --
often ahead of schedule. Her professionalism and expertise have added an
important flavor to Obadiah Press and Obadiah Magazine.
I highly recommend her work and I look forward to working with her for
many years to come.

My name is Erin Crowley. I have worked with Karen Hawkins on
projects for a 501(3)C organization called The Simian Society of
America, Inc.
During the past two years Karen has been Webmaster for their site, as
well as now taking over duties as Webmaster for a personal site I
created and maintain.
She has an excellent sense of design and creates an online presence that
incorporates the medium well. The ideas she herself brings are
enthusiastic and profitable, benefiting the sites she creates and/or
maintains. Karen is also a very diligent worker, and always very
responsive to the needs of her clients. I recommend her services highly.

Erin Crowley

Under new management
January 2002
I hired Karen Hawkins to design my website
www.badgirlspress.com. This was the first time I worked with
someone on a project via the internet. Ms. Hawkins was tremendously
responsive and quick to make my requested changes. She guided me
through the design process by offering advice, but never did she impose
her own perspective or biases on me. She has the ability to listen to a
client (via email) and pull out ideas the create a distinctive site.
Her knowledge of web design and design resources available on the
internet is impressive. And, finally she's a pleasure to work with.
She's still helping me with my site. Although I need to learn to
maintain it on my own, I'm hesitant to sever such a pleasant
relationship.

I have known Karen Hawkins for almost three years now. I quit my job to
follow my dream of being an author and a Web writer. Through an online
group I came to know Karen and was so impressed with her skills. When it
came time to redo my Web site I knew exactly whom to ask. Within a few
days and a few emails between us Karen had completely redone my Web
site. I couldn't be more pleased with what she created. As I make my
living exclusively from the Web, my Web site is so important to me. I
have received numerous "kudos" for my site and I often recommend Karen
and her talents to others. Please feel free to visit my Web site and I
can tell you with surety that Karen is a talented and gifted Web site
designer. Please feel free to contact me personally if you need
additional information.
