“Josh McCall was—and continues to be—a pleasure to work with (because he is always there when I need him!). Somehow he understood exactly what I wanted—without my understanding it fully myself—and what he produced for me was a website that is precisely right in its every aspect. I’m still not sure how he managed to bring my best self (a leaner, though not meaner, cheerful, straight-talking virtual sort of self) to the design of this website. But I’m grateful every day. I think he’s kind of a genius.”
Michelle Herman, author of The Middle of Everything: Memoirs of Motherhood
“Josh McCall is a wonder. He’s got a great eye for design and was always more than willing to help me think through my half-formed, harebrained ideas. He’s patient, articulate, quick to return emails and calls, and really knows how to make a site easy to navigate and maintain. I wanted to include a digital archive of American personal essays with links and graphics, and Josh helped me make that a reality. I can’t praise his work too highly. He’s a pro.”
Ned Stuckey-French, author of The American Essay in the American Century

“I would hire Josh McCall again and again. He designed a new website for NDR (New Delta Review), making the journal competitive with other top online literary journals. He understood our quirky aesthetic and need for a user- and reader-friendly design, and he perfectly executed our collaborative concept. He’s professional, knowledgeable, and generous—a web-designer for life!”
Lauren Tussing-White, editor of New Delta Review.
“Josh McCall is a brilliant designer. His redesign of The Southeast Review was exactly what we needed—a sleek and professional yet artsy identity, user-friendly functionality, and, most of all, he designed with an eye toward simple, accessible editing that would allow future online editors to keep the site fresh while making their own artistic imprint.”
Julianna Baggott, best-selling author of Which Brings Me to You and fifteen other books
“Josh McCall is a total professional and a delight to work with: quick-thinking, generous, and available to his clients when they need his help. But best of all is his gift for capturing his clients’ very different aesthetic styles, and building websites that really speak to the spirit of each artist or writer. Add to this his easy-to-follow directions for web-site maintenance, and his willingness to entertain follow-up questions with perfect patience, and you’ve got the picture. Run, don’t walk, because he’s going to have a waiting list very soon.”
Marjorie Sandor, author of The Late Interiors: A Life Under Construction
“Josh McCall does everything just right: his sense of web design (visually and navigationally) is state-of-the-art, and his ability to grasp his clients’ needs is uncommonly generous, flexible, and sharp. He is a great pleasure to work with, even for those, like me, who are starting from scratch in the web-world and need pixels upon pixels of help. Josh is there.”
Tracy Daugherty, author of eleven books of fiction and nonfiction, including One Day the Wind Changed and Just One Catch: A Biography of Joseph Heller
“The website Josh created for me was the perfect way to launch my first book. His design matched my own aesthetics and gave me an immediate visible presence on the web. I love the site, and I’m always getting compliments on it.”
Jennifer Richter, author of Threshold, a book of poems
“A techno-phobe without a clue, I hired Josh to build my website. He walked me through every step. (When we began, I didn’t know what a ‘domain name’ or ‘template’ was.) He helped me build an attractive, user-friendly site. A miracle-worker, he taught me to be my own webmaster. He’s smart, friendly, patient, and he especially understands author websites. He’s the best.”
Debra Monroe, author of On the Outskirts of Normal
“I had a very specific vision for my site. Josh executed that vision and put up with my artistic whims and demands. The man is a prince.”
Robin Jenkins, photographer
“Josh McCall is an indispensable worker and a web designer of the highest caliber. With an eye for clean lines and navigability, he completely transformed The Southeast Review’s web presence. We are left with a sophisticated online companion, one that editors can easily maintain and build upon. Ours is a site chock full of content, but presented in an artful and welcoming way that doesn’t overwhelm. Indeed, southeastreview.org draws high praise and web traffic like we’ve never seen before. Josh McCall made that happen.”
Jessica Pitchford, Editor, The Southeast Review
