Thanks to Lee Media Group, we have a company website that is not only aesthetically pleasing, but beautifully functional as well.
Working with Mia and her team has been a rewarding and educational process. We have learned so much from them regarding the beginning-to-end website development process as well as helping us identify and execute our social media objectives. Mia is an educator at heart and she went to great lengths to ensure we understood the segments of the website that we would ultimately be managing and updating.
Mia has a keen business sense and deep understanding of the unique elements necessary to have a successful online presence. She has a creative thought process when it comes to promoting your business; not only in a traditional marking environment, but in the virtual realm as well.
We look forward to a long and profitable relationship with Lee Media Group as they continue to help us grow and market our business. http://simplepleasuresetc.com

As the Technology Coordinator and Web Administrator for Holy Cross Lutheran Church and School, I have worked with several business professionals in the field of technology. Of those I have worked with Mia Lee has proven to be one of the most knowledgeable, creative, attentive and personable professionals I’ve had to joy to work with. Our business manager and I sat down with Mia to discuss our options with a new web site in the beginning of this process. We had previously been clued into her excellent reputation by another colleague who works in the technology industry. Our immediate impression of her was one of skill, confidence, and excitement which told us she would accomplish our church’s goals in building a site that would reach out to the community, “Sharing God’s Love Through Faith in Christ”. She not only began the process by helping us organize our site to benefit our needs, but she also designed, built, initiated the launch, and followed through with personal training and continued support throughout the modification process. Her schedule was flexible and I never found her unavailable when she was needed most. She and her team made the beautiful site for our Church a success. We plan on upgrading our School website within the next year and I will look forward to working with Mia again to obtain the same success we had with our Church’s site. Holy Cross has recently upgraded our technology in which during this time we were looking for some additional help training staff. We felt comfortable calling on Mia for help in this area and will certainly not hesitate to do this again in the future if needed. I would recommend her and her team to anyone looking to grow and develop a site that will achieve the needs of their business with a personal touch. http://holycrosslutheran.net

Wayman Oil Company was without a website at all and as a company was in need of rejuvenation. I met with Mia and I could immediately tell the wheels were turning, her energy, excitement, and creativity immediately showed. She came to our facility took photos, gathered history and we discussed our company and what we do. Mia took that information and developed our website. Additionally she has been instrumental in getting our on-line payment site up and running, and she is responsible as well for our social media presence on Facebook and Twitter. It is obvious to us that she is an asset to Wayman Oil Company and we look forward to a long relationship with Lee Media Group as our Network Consultants
Keep up the great work ! http://waymanoil.com
