With decades of experience, you can trust that you're benefiting from the expertise of someone whose been in the game a long time. Dave gets results!
We recently had the pleasure of working with Dave at Hawthorne Media Group to rebuild our website, which hadn’t been updated in over 10 years. There was a lot of work needed, from backend improvements to enhanced functionality and overall aesthetics. In the past, we relied on a large national marketing company, but felt like just another number, and a lot of things weren’t taken care of. This time, we wanted someone who genuinely cared about us as clients, our brand, and the story we wanted to tell—and Dave delivered.
We recently rebranded for our 30th anniversary, and Dave helped us honor that milestone beautifully. He took our vision and brought it to life, going above and beyond to exceed our expectations. This is just phase 1, with more exciting updates to come, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with the results so far.
Dave’s dedication and personal touch made a huge difference. He worked tirelessly to get everything just right, even putting in extra hours when needed. We highly recommend Dave and look forward to continuing our collaboration. With Dave, we know we’re in good hands!
I thought I could "handle" our basic website needs - it turns out I couldn't! :-) David answered my phone call and assured me the problems will get straightened out. He quickly understood the issues, and went about cleaning up the mess I had made. There is a lot to know about website development AND website hosting, even if you think you are just a small business with "basic" website needs. I'm thankful to have Hawthorne Media Group on my "team" now!
I have worked with numerous web designers over the years and most are either strong on technical know-how or strong on graphics.
Dave is excellent at both and he is absolutely amazing to work with. I strongly recommend him and HMG to anybody looking to up their online presence with beauty and intelligence.
HMG has been running my site for a few years and the experience has been the best. Anytime there us any kind of an issue it gets immediately taken care of. And they always keep me updated on what can help my and my business.
Really appreciate it and if you have any size business, or are just getting going they are the best.
Thank you!

Have had branding work done by Dave at Hawthorne Media Group for a couple of years now, and I'm consistently happy with the outcome of these projects. He's quick, easy to communicate with, understands my requests, and always brings his crisp creativity to the table. I very much appreciate his expertise!
Hawthorne Media Group (and owner Dave Sparks) is my go-to for all of my graphic design needs. They've designed logos, business cards, and most importantly for me, bottle labels for my herbal apothecary. Dave is creative, wonderful to work with, and I recommend him highly!
Awesome resource for revamping your old, out-of-date website to a cleaner, efficient and more modernized presence. Exactly what I was looking for! After our first consultation I knew I was with the right team. Dave took a lot of time and showed me many iterations before we landed on the right design for Sylvan Signs. He even helped us re-brand our logo which needed a few tweaks as well! Highly recommend reaching out if you're having online design concerns. Thanks Dave !!!
I made the classic new biz owner mistake of doing my own website. For ages it sat there, doing nothing. Then Dave at Hawthorne Media Group came to the rescue. He redesigned my site so it looked fresh and inviting, with information organized clearly and concisely.
But the real magic was whatever he did behind the scenes. Suddenly I was actually getting leads from my website, from people who found me on the web and wanted to do business with me!
Now he regularly reviews and updates my site as needed, keeping the info current. I no longer stress about my website.
I'm supremely happy with Dave's work and would recommend him without reservation to anyone looking for a web designer or graphic artist.
Thank you, Michelle. That is EXACTLY the level of service we are aiming for. Appreciate your time. Onward and upward!!

Hawthorne Media Group does it all. They build beautifully functional websites with stellar SEO optimization, the find the holes in your current website and plugs them, and they perform monthly maintenance to make sure people are seeing your website. 100% recommend them to bring your website to the next level and keep it there.
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. He is responsive and attentive to my needs and issues that arise. Most importantly Dave is a fantastic human being.
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.
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 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.
David and the team at Hawthorne Media Group are wonderful to work with. Hawthorne Media has worked to develop marketing and web-site solutions that are a perfect fit for the needs of our small, Portland business. Hawthorne Media has been our company's partner for several years, developing our very first webpage and continues to keep us up-to-date in the ever-changing world of SEO. Professional, talented, and local - what more can you ask for!
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!
