Freelancing Career Development

Justin was referred to me by someone that I consider to be an IT guru. Through Justin's contacts he was able to provide my new company with great prices on computer hardware. In addition the costs to network my computers was very reasonable. I don't know what I would have done without him. I wish that I knew more startup businesses needing IT help so that I could make more referrals.

I'm really grateful to have been introduced to Justin and the Small Potatoes. As a small company with need to manage multiple websites, he's been an excellent resource for us: setting up our sites with an eye for user experience, troubleshooting for us at all hours, and patiently training us in content management. Not only is Justin fun to work with, he takes pride in his work and will often go above and beyond what's asked for to deliver the best product possible.

I wholeheartedly recommend Justin Knechtel and The Small Potatoes. A huge value to me, helping with all aspects of my web creation and launch. They've helped me see that a web site is tool, but much more than that, its an investment in my business. The Small Potatoes goes above and beyond and right from the start has also been a resource of ideas and practices that are ethical and sustainable in scope. Sure, I know Justin is happy helping small, local businesses thrive; but more than a client, as a friend, I could tell you Justin's most happy when reading 'Curious George' to his son :)

Justin was an all around fantastic person to work with! He made recommendations and changes to my company that helped us grow and run our business better!! I can't say enough about his integrity and overall professionalism! I would highly recommend him, and will continue to utilize his expertise!

The HUB Seattle has hired Justin on many occasions, from small, immediate Wordpress updates to major website overhaul. Every single time, he has surpassed expectations by the timeliness and quality of work, as well as the amazing value he provides. Justin is also great to work with because he truly embodies HUB values with his business model, which hires young high schoolers and trains them on Wordpress, while offering good prices to small businesses. We have loved working with Justin and have recommended him to many other members, and we will do so again!

Beginning a small business remained an idea for years until Justin and The Small Potatoes personally took control of our little ship, pointed it toward a successful course, and helped us navigate the wake of competition through site creation and useful social networking. Efficient, affordable, ethical, resourceful and friendly; Justin helped bring our idea to life with grace and humor; maintaining professionalism and most happily, our website, through our cloud of confusion. After having consulted several 'experts', I can honestly recommend Justin and The Small Potatoes for knowledgeable web development. You'll get good insight and great results!

Justin is a detailed-oriented manager who watches the balance sheet like a hawk without ever losing sight of the strategic objective. Just kidding...that's verbatim what LinkedIn asks us to write as an example. Seriously, Justin's your all around great guy: good family man, good business man, and great for the community. You can tell almost immediately after getting to know him that he's a very balanced and ethical person who does his best to make sure he takes care of the interests of others. I have faith he truly will help many with the Freelancers Association, but beyond that, I'm sure he's helped many others in other great and caring ways.

Justin's commitment to his work at the NWFA is extremely admirable, and he does a great job filling the multiple roles the position requires of him.

Just is a fabulous connector and networker, pairing people with needs and those who provide services in contact with another. He's also a maven, sharing relevant tools, resources, and ideas with everyone he meets.

I highly recommend getting to know and working with Justin. He's a valuable part of the Seattle and Pacific Northwest freelancing community.

I am currently interning at a commercial real estate firm and while in the middle of a project, I needed some advice on how to display the information. Justin offered to look over what i was doing and do some design work for me. It came out looking excellent. I would definitely recommend / use Justin in the future!

Justin Knechtel has an amazing gift…the gift to learn. Just being around him makes you feel smarter. When I hired Justin he had a lot to learn about “the channel” and “resellers” however by the time he left he knew more about the business and how to make a profit than individuals who have been in the industry for years. Justin is truly one to be modeled after. He was an excellent employee who not only taught me a few things about "my" industry, but provided personal feedback to ensure I was the best I could be as a manager. I recommend Justin to anyone, doing anything at anytime. You won't be disappointed!!
