Lift Development clients come in all forms. I truly enjoy the partnership that is formed when a new company jumps on board. Take a look at just a few of the organizations I've been lucky enough to work with in the past.

"Lift Development will take your ideas of what you envision in a website and make it reality. Dave did a spot on job in speaking to my customers through my website. Not only did Dave incorporate what I envisioned but when I was stuck, I was able to bounce ideas off of him to figure out what would work and what wouldn't. I highly recommend Lift Development to any business looking to stand out from the whirlpool of mediocre websites out there today."

"I wrote a book that, as a surprise to all of us, took off like a shot and is about to go into a 5th printing in this first year. It has felt like surfing a tsunami! I had designed a website myself that was pretty good, but as my work has increased exponentially, I needed a much more technical web site. Dave Yankowiak has rescued me! You can't imagine the relief to be able to hand a huge chunk of work to someone, explain quickly, and have him handle all the details. He consults, asks my preferences, is completely responsive, then does it. Quickly.

I LOVE the work he has done, we are about to shift into another phase of research where we'll use the site to collect and process immense amounts of data and stories for a new national, four-year study of two thousand churches. Dave's technical expertise is going to save me innumerable headaches and two years of salary for a data collector and coder. I am more than grateful!"

The new site offers eye-appealing design with relevant content. And, it provides flexibility such that it will grow along with us.

"Dave has been a gift to us as we have started to get the word out about our beautiful Minnesota rental property. I mean, I don't want to say right out loud that techies are geeks or anything, but I marvel that anyone with such a extraordinary understanding of web technology can create a site that reveals the power, beauty, and glory of the northern Minnesota wilderness. But Dave has done it. The technique does not intrude - it reveals the mystery of the woods and the lake, with all the rental details intact. See for yourself!"
