Testimonials


U.S. Navy WAVES, Woman Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service

I recently changed from Typepad to Wordpress with a company that was less than stellar in its customer relations.  So less than stellar that I gathered up my Wordpress site and went looking for help elsewhere.

Lucky me.  I discovered Kathleen, The Savvy VA, and learned that prayers do get answered!

She was not my first try.  I kept running into “Sure, I can do that.”  Then a ridiculous amount of money would be billed and there would be no communication.  And things still didn’t work.  Not my style.

In stepped Kathleen.  A look-see around the site, some suggestions as to what might be wrong.  VERY resonable pricing.  And, most importantly, she communicates.  Not only communicates but connects.  She listens and tweaks.  She responds to questions and requests quickly.  She FIXES the WordPress site!  It WORKS.  She checks back in to be sure everything is working like it’s supposed to work.

If you like cold, impersonal, high-priced tech folks who can’t or won’t fix the problem beyond their own comfort zone or ability, Kathleen’s not your gal.

But if you want someone who knows WordPress, who can troubleshoot existing (leftover from others) problems, who is very reasonably priced, and who will check in with you and keep you up to date on the status of her work, then Kathleen is for you.  She is the only person I will turn to in the future for any and all work I need done on a WordPress site!

If you need help with WordPress, Kathleen, @thesavvyVA is the woman for you! She’s awesome! #UYB

@ tammyvitale  Kudos to Kathleen @thesavvyva who just walked me through some of my wordpress problems – kindly and expertly. Thanks

It has a been such a pleasure to work with Kathleen on my site. I knew she was 100% dedicated to my success when she sent me an email saying that she woke up in the middle of the night and thought of a great plug-in for my site…then got up and did it. Your efforts have been incredible Kathleen, and you have been a wonderful person to work with.

When I contacted Kathleen to help me with my Wordpress Blogsite, the site was up but without any real organization. I also had no idea how to post a Blog or use the tools provided by WP. I was frustrated, felt stuck and didn’t know how to move forward on my own. I found Kathleen on FB and picked up right away that she was someone I could work with. And Wow! An expert on Wordpress! Just what I needed. I bought her WP re-do package and not only did she give me a new…more expandable template with an organization that makes sense, but she also taught me how to actually manage the site all by myself. To me it’s a miracle. I now can easily post Blogs…embed videos in those Blogs and even create drop down menus. I must be a genius. No. Kathleen is the genius. A Wordpress genius. Thanks Kathleen. I also feel comfortable calling on her if I get stuck again. I highly recommend her for all your Wordpress needs.  Jennifer Scott, www.whyweighttolose.com

Seen In the Twitter Stream:@Judilynn: what a great way to start my day! Woke up to an email from @thesavvyva that my site was all done and looking great! –> thanks


I can sum it up in one word…WOW!! I can’t thank you enough for the opportunity to work with Kathleen Sullivan. A few months ago, I was so ready to give my blog a “major make over” but did not quite know how. One phone call to Kathleen, viola, She can articulate my needs and voice my concerns more than I ever could (I think she have had heard enough from people came to her before me). Within a few days, she came back to me with a proposal answered all the questions how, what, why and when. She had met my expectation and SO much more than I ever anticipated… Thank you. You are absolutely amazing!    Thank you again Kathleen for a work well done.  Ha Tran (haforhope)   http://www.hope-empowered.com


“Kathleen Sullivan helped me get my Word Press website up and running. She took my logo and created a beautiful header and helped me choose the appropriate template to get the look and feel I was after. She set up my widgets and provided hands on coaching as well as a manual to help me understand how to get started blogging. She has a great sense of humor and professionalism which made it very easy to work with her. Thanks Kathleen!”  Tom King, Personal coach to small-business leaders and entrepreneurs  growitforward.com

I was frustrated when I contacted Kathleen. My website was not working properly and I had spent hours trying to figure it out myself. Within an hour Kathleen was at work to fix it. This included calling my site host several times to get him to straighten out some issues on his end. By the next morning my site was not only functioning correctly, but it looks much more professional.    Kathleen is an expert at what she does. She exceeded my expectations and I couldn’t be more pleased with the work she has done for me.    Jim Everett,  The In Demand Marketing Coach. www.InDemandMarketingCoach.com

Kathleen was very gracious and supportive in her efforts to create a start-up blog for my new yoga business. I was very grateful for her work and the speed in which she accomplished what I could never do on my own. I am ready to dig in and get up and running, thanks to her creativity, technical know-how and overall professionalism. I would highly recommend her!  Caryn F. Kelly http://www.myyogamylife.com


I may not be techie but I am a Virtual Assistant so I know my way around computers.  I was sure I could figure this out. I did all the initial preparation steps and even bought the book WordPress for Dummies. For weeks I struggled with my install, wasting precious time foolishly on a skill I was not going to ever need again.WordPress installation was not a service I planned to offer. I needed to be concentrating on launching my business not launching my website. Finally somewhere between My SQL database, my c-panel, and my FTP I cried uncle. This was ridiculous. Trying to save money was actually costing me money because I was not focusing where needed to. The best thing I ever did was to find someone who specializes in WordPress Blog/website installation. If you are in my same position and you need some help I highly recommend Kathleen.   Lauren McMullen, Virtual Assistant & Marketing Assistant  http://Timefinder4you.com
