CJ Gilbert is INCREDIBLE!
I have been working with CJ Gilbert since 2019. Ever since I met him, I knew that he was an authority in his field, but even more so, a good person.
People tend to do business with people that they know, like and trust.
CJ Gilbert is one of those people.
It is evident in the way that he cares for his clients and how he treats people around him.
CJ is well-connected and respected in our community and is always on the lookout for ways to bring value to others.
He is a MASTER at what he does with websites and anything web related. He is responsive, reliable and very easy to work with.
If you are looking to grow your business through websites, web presence or business networking, CJ Gilbert is the perfect person to connect with.
I would highly suggest, setting up a meeting with him to learn more about his business and to see if there are possibilities of synergy together.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND, connecting with CJ Gilbert.
Take Care and God Bless!

CJ at Gilbert Studios is the best guide and teacher I could have asked for! I have been in business for 15 years and like many business owners, I am great at my job but I feel like technology is my greatest nemesis. Even when I had my second website built in WordPress because people told me that WordPress is so simple and user friendly....Ha! More like Frenemies! I have had this WordPress site for several years and it was okay but not really working for me. It would give me these error messages I would just ignore them because I didn't know what to do with them. I would try to fix it or update something and make everything worse.I was first introduced to CJ about a year ago by a personal referral who retired from web design. To get a feel for him and his knowledge base I went to his YouTube channel #AskAWebGeek. I learned enough to not be so scared of tackling my nemesis. The videos are entertaining but a little long for me so I would skip through looking for the education I needed.One especially frustrating day on Wordpress I had just made a list of 6 things I couldn't figure out. I finally reached out to CJ through his website and asked if I could just pay him for his time to screen share and walk me through how to fix this stuff. I wanted to take control of it instead of hiring some random to fix it and hoping for the best. I didn't realize that this is his bread and butter. He does this all the time! I was both excited and bracing for impact. I was at the end of my rope expecting to have to spend hours of time and money to pay the expert to slowly walk me through this, but I just needed to make the investment. We booked our first hour for $120. In the back of my mind I'm calculating it will surely be at least 6 hours.We got on Zoom together and it was straight to work. He went at a terrific pace and was so easy to talk to. He is truly a great teacher breaking it down into steps and helping to explain why we want to do things a certain way and why some of the recommendations on wordpress aren't in my best interest for my business goals. Cj takes his experience and extensive knowledge and applies it to individual business situations. I have met other designers and self-proclaimed guru's of the web but none of them show the same personal care and expert coaching that Cj does. I highly recommend Cj and Gilbert Studios to any small business owner. You will get it done right and efficiently! You will likely feel like you made a friend too.By the end of our hour on Zoom we solved 5 of the problems on my list, added 1 extra improvement, and the last problem to solve he wanted to consult with the owner of my domain holder first whom he happens to personally know. By the end of our session I have been able to not only check those tasks off the list, but I feel empowered by having gained knowledge and comfort. I am so excited for our next session!

CJ's ability to research and get creative helped him find a way to get Facebook to acknowledge that my site (not developed by him) had been mistakenly banned and he got the ban lifted! I've had multiple people say, "That can't be done!" but CJ was diligent in finding a way to reach them on my behalf. That's the kind of customer service you can expect from this great master of the internet.

Is it possible to work with the best Web Designer on the planet? Yes, if you hire C.J. Gilbert of Gilbert Studios! He explained the entire process in a thorough and precise manner, listened to my ideas, added valuable suggestions, and then completed his web design expertise. I am impressed with his attention to detail, and am thrilled with the finished product! Thank you C.J. Gilbert! S.K. Derban, Writer of Mystery

My website (not designed by CJ) somehow got banned from Facebook for not meeting their 'Community Standards'. It's almost impossible to interface with Facebook, let alone get them to make a change, but I suspected that if anyone could, it would be CJ, whom I met through a networking group. Through research and cleverness, he found a way three times to reach a live chat person and, on the third try, POOF! My website was no longer banned and Facebook acknowledged it was a flaw in their algorithm that misidentified my site.All this to say, CJ is far more than a site developer. He knows the ins-and-outs of internet workings that make him a valuable resource for whatever ails you in the cyber-jungle. And customer service? Such a great guy with a can-do attitude!
