John is my goto resource when I have SEO related questions. He goes above and beyond the call of duty as well. I've known John for a number of years and he stops at nothing to help until the goal is reached.

The thing about John is that he doesn't play around either. He gives actionable tasks to follow up the strategy. When I think SEO, I think John and Lockedown Design & SEO.

John has done a wonderful job on our company website. He has provided the things we needed as a Chamber, and when there was something he wasn't sure about, he checked with his contacts and was able to provide what we needed. He went the second mile and made training videos so I could learn how to do things. He's always available when we need something and resolves issues in a timely manner. I would recommend Lockedown Design if you are in the market to improve your website.

As a small business owner, it is important to me to properly market my products to maintain my cash flow. Before working with John at Lockedown Design, I was unsure of the best ways to reach more customers.

John helped me find where my ideal customers would be, and we organized a strategy for reaching them and building awareness of my stained glass company. Most designers would not have done this.

Working with John was insightful and a learning experience. He listened to my thoughts and built a website that is one of the best in my particular field. Many crafts and stained glass websites look like something out of the 90s and are hard to navigate and use. I'm so happy that my website is modern looking and built for phones (many are not).

After launching my site, John continued to help me, giving me marketing advice and helping me set up a Facebook and Pinterest page. I continue to learn how to succeed in web marketing by working with John.

It is well worth the time and investment to go with John as your web designer.

He never tries to act like things are "industry secrets" and is open to share information to help me grow my business and reach my target audience. Thank you, John Locke!

I was referred to Lockedown by a colleague as I needed help with my local search presence as well as my online citations. John was thorough, professional and sent me a very detailed audit with the steps needed to improve my local search results. John also assisted me in creating a plan to fix my online citations as I recently changed my business name as well as my address. I highly recommend Lockedown Design & SEO and plan to work with John in the future on additional projects.

John is the best web guy we have had. We have had him do work for our website since 2013 He is extremely affordable and reliable, which is very rare to find these days in web design. He helped us with bug fixes, theme redesign, and various other issues on our website which were all resolved and fixed to our satisfaction.
We hope to continue having John do all our website needs in the future.

Before working with John, I had some products and a general idea for a business. When I worked with John, he helped me identify my target customers and delivered a website that exceeded all of my expectations.

Today, I'm getting a ton more page views, interest in my e-commerce store and interest in my items. More people are hitting me up with questions about refurbishing and home decor than ever before. Having a professional website and a solid web presence on all key platforms has made me more confident in being an entrepreneur.

John continues to work with me to optimize my online store, both on my own website and on platforms like Etsy.

John was a great help to us. Our website host took down our site before we had a change to migrate it to a new host and we were lost. John came to our site and spent extra time getting us set up and trouble shooting the plugins. We were up and running after his first visit.

I recently contacted John at Lockedown with some questions about boosting SEO for my business. I really appreciated how he took the time to listen, look at my site, and even send me some helpful recommendations--before even talking about starting a business relationship. That's the way to do business!

John helped set up a website for the business my husband and I own. We had never done this before. Though we've had the truck and trailer service for many years, getting through the technology involved in setting up a website was always a challenge.

John came recommended to us and was very easy to work with. He listened to our goals for the business and was very attentive. When showing us how to use our website, he made things easy to understand.

Before launching our new site, we would get the occasional call. After launching our website, our customers went up. We were able to convey more information and be found more easily in search engines on our own site than we were on the yellow pages listing we had before.

If you want someone who will help you get online, John is the person to see.

We really enjoyed working with Lockedown Designs. John was very through and kept up with the changes we needed as we worked on the project. Best of all, he didn't just hand over the website and leave us to our own devices. He trained us and was there for support afterwards. I will definitely keep him and his company in mind for future projects/to recommend to others.

I've been running my own web design and development business for over 10 years, which is long enough to know that I can't do it all on my own.

John is THE guy I turn to when I need SEO help. He's extremely knowledgable, easy to get ahold of, and very generous with the advice he shares.

What I love about John is that he's always learning and perfecting his craft, which is necessary in the ever-changing field of SEO. Because of that, I know that the advice he gives me is going to be helpful and relevant.

Lockedown has my complete trust and confidence. If you're on the fence, you should definitely give John a call.

John has done and and continues to do an amazing, efficient job for us. Much of our business depends on SEO and our website, and Lockedown Design has been easy to work with, very fair with pricing, and fast. We even had our website crash, and he came to the rescue, and had us back up within an hour. I'm still impressed at the same day service and fast responses to any questions or concerns. HIGHLY recommend!

I approached John for some mentoring on WordPress. He reviewed the security and functionality of my website and made insightful recommendations based on his many years of experience with the software. John is someone who clearly cares about the long term implications of his work rather than making a quick buck. I wouldn t hesitate to ask for his advice in the future.

John Locke has done a wonderful job updating my webpage. He follows through on what he says he is going to do. I find him to be a kind and ethical man. John explains what he is doing and what needs to be done. I must admit I have no interest and little understanding in webpage design. I love that I found John and picked him to help me out. He does an excellent job of teaching me what I need be doing. In other words, he tells me what to do and I trust him enough to just do it. I would recomend him in a heartbeat.

I first met John at one of the local events last year.
What struck me the most about him was the amount of charisma and knowledge he possesses.
As a budding business owner myself, I learned a great deal from him.
He truly cares about his clients' success and has been very helpful with my situation.
Highly recommend!

John is without a doubt the best WordPress developer I ve ever encountered!. He not only has an in-depth knowledge of the WP framework and web design, he commits and delivers when it comes to deadlines. He s also very patient and easy to talk to and offers viable suggestions that you may not have even considered. I will be seeking him out for future projects. Highly recommend!

After many years of trying unsuccessfully to find a true web design professional to help grow our internet presence, we had pretty much given up. Then by sheer luck, we met John at an event and it was immediately clear how amazing John is both as a person but also as an incredibly, sincere and extremely, knowledgeable professional.

We are eternally grateful the tremendous help and support we have received from John and can wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone needing expert WordPress or webdesign services.

From dealing with past web designers and not having the best of experiences, let alone when you can actually get a response from them, I went into working with John with low expectations, so imagine my surprise when Clark Kent was Superman.

Moving a website from one server to another is not as simple as I thought and ended up in a situation with someone hacking into the account as well and was deleting information I posted. As you can imagine it was distressing and naturally happened after normal working hours.

Not only did he fix that issue but was able to help me with issues that I would have had happen in the near future.

I would recommend John and Lockedown Design to anyone looking for someone that is going to dedicate themselves fully to your web design projects. He turns it up to 11. #lockedowndesign #webdesign #wordpress #california #sacramento

I have been looking for a high level consultant to help me with backend aspects of Wordpress that are beyond my comfort zone and someone to help me with best practices and optimization. I was referred to John and I sent an inquiry to him via his website. I received an immediate response and he was extremely gracious and generous with his assessments and suggestions. I think I've found that high-level consultant person I was looking for!

Well, I hate to do this because I'm selfish, but John deserves the credit...he is Awesome!!...but I'm hoping to keep 'most of him' to ourselves at Bud Bar Displays.
We have had several webmasters and a developer that have turned my hair gray.
We have an E-Commerce site and it goes with the territory that we come across technical issues from time to time that can be very nerve racking as a business owner, after I've explained the problems or goals, John starts talking a foreign language and then goes about accomplishing the task quickly and successfully.
Where his professionalism really shines is that he will 'babysit' the changes to make sure everything came out as planned. If any final tweaks are necessary he's on immediately.
His communication during changes and returning of calls is also 5 Star.
I've said too much already...Thanks John you're Awesome!
