I cannot say enough good things about working with David at Hawthorne Media Group! He has proceeded to help me brand my business with stationary, folders, signs, fliers, you-name-it with the same attention to keeping our mission and essence clear. My website is exactly what I want and when I need something he is not only prompt in making it happen, but truly LOVES what he does! He gets excited about the growth in my practice like it was his own. THIS is the kind of marketing that everyone should have.

We've been working with the team at Hawthorne Media Group for a couple of years now and are really happy with the results that they are getting for us. They updated our site (and continue to do so) keeping it fresh and interesting. Dave is great to work with and is sensitive to our budget as well as our professional image.

Dave is an unassuming master of his trade! Our company was heavily burned by our previous web developer, so we were very mindful to explore *everything* about company business practices before making the leap to Hawthorne Media Group. There's the devil you know and the devil you don't, right? Well, Dave is a literal angel. He is amazing at his craft, and a genuine, kind, patient soul to boot. Look no further, you can't do better than Hawthorne Media Group, on every level.
~ Rebecca Durlin Smith, Birth First Doula
Look no further, you have found the best! Dave and the Hawthorne Media Group are an absolute pleasure to work with. We switched over to them after a challenging relationship with our prior website designers and they have been a dream to work with ever since. Dave's communication skills are excellent and when we reach out for help he is always responsive. He gets the job done quickly and accurately and we value all that he brings to the table. We are thrilled to have him and his team in our corner to maintain our small business website and help us with all things SEO. Can't recommend them highly enough!

“I have worked with Hawthorne Design on several projects and it's hard to find a more professional group of folks to work with. Yes, they are great at website design but many other designers just do design. Hawthorne can manage your website and your online presence giving you peace of mind knowing it's in the hands of trustworthy professionals.”
~ Jeffrey Magner Bighorn Local
I started my own business in 2016. After looking at some other developers, I settled on Dave because he took the most time and interest in my fledgling business. Dave was an invaluable resource in providing guidance and giving me options as to what would work best for my business. He has continued to do so. He is a master at providing great options that fit within my budget and responsive and attentive to my needs and issues that arise.
~ Matt Rizzo, Law Office of Matthew Rizzo
It's been an absolute pleasure working with the team over at Hawthorne Media Group. They offer great under the hood services. If you've got a website that needs to be optimized, they're the shop to call. If you don't know what robots.txt means but know you have a problem with that word, give them a call. Our site was up and running but it wasn't humming until Dave Sparks got his hands on it. When we have clients that need the back end web services support, we always talk to Hawthorne Media Group.

WEBSITE RE/Design
Design is a creative approach of communication. It is an eye opener to the modern world that has the potential to educate, inspire, bring people together, sell ideas; and entertain the mind while communicating important messages.
Branding | LOGOS
We believe in a balance of work and play in design; keeping the passion fresh so it shows through all designs, while still maintaining a professional goal and unique objectives in all work.
Graphic Design
Design should be an inventive arrangement, showing different qualities of design visuals and elements depending on the market and the client. The purpose, planning, and intentions that exist behind the design will differ from client to client, while still encompassing a creative approach to communication.
SOCIAL | Digital
Digital design is a creative pursuit of impacting the world through passion for sharing content and visual communication; it should stimulate brains in a way that most communication cannot. We will help you broadcast your message and design throughout as many marketing channels as possible.
