Clients Say

Mike did a fantastic job creating our website for Database Directories. He is an incredibly effective communicator, efficient, and very professional. At every stage of the project, our team was thoroughly impressed. He actively listened to our vision and executed it to perfection. Would highly recommend Mike for any of your web design needs.

Jaclyn Lanthier, Database Directories Inc.

After moving my law practice from Toronto to London, Mike designed a new web site for me. He did an amazing job and continues to assist me with updates and optimization. Mike is a creative, out the box thinker and has really assisted me in developing my practice here in London. His rates are very reasonable and I highly recommend him!

Michelle R. Theberge, Hons BA, LLB, Theberge Professional Corporation

Mike did a great job of understanding the needs of our physicians’ office, and put together a website that provides our patients with the information that they require. I appreciate the fact that he didn’t try to up-sell us with bells and whistles: listened to what we wanted, then delivered in a reasonable time and at a competitive price. I would wholeheartedly recommend Mike to other small businesses looking for a presence on the web!

Dr. Joel Wohlgemut, Alexandra Family Physicians

Mike did a great work on our Bangkok Pad Thai restaurant website and its search results. Ever since he built and launched the site, we've been very happy with our search results, the order volume and visits to the restaurants. Excellent work.

Amy Ellis, BA (Kin), C. Ped (C)

Mike designed and managed our websites for two different rental properties that I was the Property Manager. In addition to these two websites he also designed and managed a website for a not-for-profit organization that I was involved with as President. Mike was very detail oriented when it came to his work. The websites would look good to me but he always had a way of making them look even better and more effective. I highly recommend Mike for any project.

Mike is honest, articulate, knowledgable and always easy to get in touch with.

There is one thing I can say about it. I love it! I am sure the client will too.

Owner of an Ottawa Based Creative

Mike is a very easy person to deal with. He is very knowledgeable and excellent at explaining complex details regarding website design, trends and implementation. His direct contact approach is very client focused so you don't have to go through several layers of personnel to get quick accurate answers to your questions. I can't recommend both his skill level, knowledge and customer service high enough. A++

Michael Wilson, Owner, PC Audio

I highly recommend Mr. Mike Cygalski without reservation. Mr. Cygalski is easy to work with, is very creative, offers various packages (so there is something for every budget) and completed my website very quickly. Mr. Cygalski is also very accessible. Any time I need to make a change to the site he does so immediately. I am so pleased with the work that Mr. Cygalski did, and does for me.
