John is without a doubt the best WordPress developer I've ever encountered!. He not only has an in-depth knowledge of the WP framework and web design, he commits and delivers when it comes to deadlines. He's also very patient and easy to talk to and offers viable suggestions that you may not have even considered. I will be seeking him out for future projects. Highly recommend!

John Locke has done a wonderful job updating my webpage. He follows through on what he says he is going to do. I find him to be a kind and ethical man. John explains what he is doing and what needs to be done. I must admit I have no interest and little understanding in webpage design. I love that I found John and picked him to help me out. He does an excellent job of teaching me what I need be doing. In other words, he tells me what to do and I trust him enough to just do it. I would recomend him in a heartbeat.

Even experts need expert assistance, and that's why I called John. He helped me rehabilitate my consulting agency's SEO profile and get us back on the radar in Google searches. His expertise is both deep and current, and was of tremendous help to my business.

I have been looking for a high level consultant to help me with backend aspects of Wordpress that are beyond my comfort zone and someone to help me with best practices and optimization. I was referred to John and I sent an inquiry to him via his website. I received an immediate response and he was extremely gracious and generous with his assessments and suggestions. I think I've found that high-level consultant person I was looking for!

Well, I hate to do this because I'm selfish, but John deserves the credit...he is Awesome!!...but I'm hoping to keep 'most of him' to ourselves at Bud Bar Displays. We have had several webmasters and a developer that have turned my hair gray. We have an E-Commerce site and it goes with the territory that we come across technical issues from time to time that can be very nerve racking as a business owner, after I've explained the problems or goals, John starts talking a foreign language and then goes about accomplishing the task quickly and successfully.

Where his professionalism really shines is that he will 'babysit' the changes to make sure everything came out as planned. If any final tweaks are necessary he's on immediately. His communication during changes and returning of calls is also 5 Star. I've said too much already...Thanks John you're Awesome!

We so appreciate working with John. He's got great customer service, fabulous response time and he always solves our issue. It's such a relief to know we can call him when things go awry!

John has done a wonderful job on our company website. He has provided the things we needed as a Chamber, and when there was something he wasn't sure about, he checked with his contacts and was able to provide what we needed. He went the second mile and made training videos so I could learn how to do things. He's always available when we need something and resolves issues in a timely manner. I would recommend Lockedown Design if you are in the market to improve your website.

John created a website for my stained-glass business that far exceeded my expectations. A pleasure to work with!

John Locke created my blog page and was so attentive to every detail. John was able to make my page very user friendly. I still count on him for any issues. He responds right away and fixes my problems immediately. It is a pleasure working with him.
