... he responded quickly, jumped in, and miraculously, he managed to recover and rebuild my original site.
“I don't usually write reviews like this, but Chris deserves one. After a terrible experience with a previous developer who pushed a broken website live, I was left stressed, heartbroken and unsure where to turn... he responded quickly, jumped in, and miraculously, he managed to recover and rebuild my original site. Since then, we've been working together on a full refresh of my site... it's better than I ever imagined. My new site is clean, professional, and absolutely stunning. If you're looking for someone you can trust with your website, you won't regret choosing and working with Chris. I honestly can't recommend him enough.”
“I have known Chris professionally for a number of years and recently hired him to provide development work for my editing website... Chris was thorough, professional, and responsive. He provided a site audit so we could identify core problems. He solved the problem quickly with better hosting and was very communicative the whole time! He migrated over the old links so that there were no disruptions. Now my site has an SSL which improves my reputation online and better hosting. I would definitely recommend Chris for this type of work in the future and plan to work with him again.”
“I made my website myself with another web development platform. It was ok but it just didn't seem up to par for my business. I sought help from Chris Howard to make me a new website. It is amazing. Chris did an excellent job. My website looks very professional and it flows. Chris was also very responsive when I had questions about things on the site. I definitely recommend him for any webpage design. Thank you so much Chris.”
“OUTSTANDING WORK! Chris worked with me on my goals for the site, really dug into what I was wanting to accomplish so that he could create a site that would be complimentary to those goals. Site was beautifully designed, great value, and was done quickly! Love his work and would highly recommend!”
“Thank you for your support, patience and organization skills! This whole experience of starting my own business after 20 years in corporate was super scary and I felt like having my website would make this new chapter official. Talk about overwhelming! But you walked me through everything and were super patient with me. The whole experience from start to finished product is what it is all about!”
“If I could hire Chris all for myself, I would!!! ...he is THAT good at what he does. I had multiple attempts at trying to create my own food blog and it was a disaster. Chris was able to listen to my needs and delivered more than I expected!!! ...I always refer him whenever I can because I can vouch for his services and can guarantee satisfaction. He is worth every penny and your time!!!”
“Speedy and efficient service. Chris was able to work with me on what I needed. Beyond pleased with the result!”

A note from our founder
I've seen websites fail in the handoffs far more often than in the code. So I built an agency without them.
I spent 10+ years on in-house web teams at B2B SaaS companies, where a designer, a developer, and a marketer each owned a piece of the site. When something broke, it usually broke in the gap between them.
At Howard Creative Co., I scope every project myself and stay accountable for it from launch through ongoing care. Our team handles the design, development, SEO, content, and analytics, with vetted specialists brought in when the work calls for them. No account manager, no handoff.
I'm an active member of the African American Marketing Association, where we built the website, the member portal, and the Pulse Awards platform. Our clients run from Houston to New Jersey, Georgia, and South Carolina.
