Working with Carol Thomson to design and build my website has been a fantastic experience. Carol’s expertise was apparent at every step in the process, and the results far exceeded what I imagined they could be. Firestream is the way to go!

I designed my own website in 1999. I knew I desperately needed an update, but I was incapable of doing it on my own. FireStream Media to the rescue! Carol Thomson understood my concept, design and content needs immediately from seeing my previous amateur work. She refreshed my design, transferred my 22 years of content to Word Press, and then trained me to continue maintaining the website myself. Years of anxiety about what would happen to my website melted away with Carol's superb design and teaching skills. Now, my website is elegant, searchable, and able to read on mobile phones! A dream come true.

I reached out to Carol for website upgrade for our community project in 2021. Carol helped me design a professional and beautiful website. She is extremely responsible and responsive. I am extremely impressed that Carol is always on top of things and provides us input to improve our website. Carol will always be my go-to person for website design and upgrade in the future. If you are looking for a person to design and upgrade your website, please reach out to Carol. Choosing Carol to be your website vendor will be the best choice you make for your website!

Carol was a pleasure to work with. She listened deeply to what I wanted, used her professional skills to develop a very beautiful and appealing site for me, and was easy to work with. She delivered a lovely product to me, on time and within budget. I highly recommend her for website development projects.

Firestream Media helped us this summer with a deadline-driven and total redesign of the website for our national higher-education project. Carol Thomson was terrific to work with: creative, collaborative, patient, careful with details, and responsive to both new details and fixing glitches. The product was terrific, and she was great to work with. At the start of the summer, I was anxious about whether we could get the site done. She made it happen well.

Love the warehouse feel. Open and inviting space. Great office environment with lots of talented folks.

Very friendly young professionals. Neat office space next to the old Durham Bulls stadium.

Incredible scotch

We have been a client of Firestream Media since 2009, when Carol redesigned our website in Dreamweaver CS4 and CSS format. She helped us again in 2014 to create a website with responsive design using WordPress. The templates and training she provided have made it very easy for me to maintain the site. Carol is very knowledgeable about all facets of web development and is a great help whenever we need to add a new feature to our website. She is also great at video production, and created an excellent video for our 20th Anniversary celebration that really captured the history and accomplishments of our organization.

I'm very happy with FireStream Media. Carol did a great job with web design, really professional final product with good functionality. Carol is easy to work with and had great ideas for how to accomplish the look and the objective I needed. I definitely recommend FireStream!

FireStream Media has done an amazing job for Triangle Wagner Society, helping us with website design and layout and functionality that has enabled our non-profit to make remarkable progress. Carol is creative, detail-minded and extremely professional.

Great product! Really useful for our clients and a great team behind it.

We utilize the employee review system at my employer and I feel that it is the first system that provides honest, detailed feedback and holds both the employee and employer accountable for items discussed in our quarterly reviews. It also provides a great tracking method for seeing consistent improvement and helps to identify areas for continued improvement.

I can’t say enough good things about Dallas and Melissa and how they have helped us on our leadership succession journey. First, they have been spot-on in recognizing our leadership goals and, with the Performance Culture System, we now have a roadmap in place that will make it happen. The system is visual and clearly links every member of our team to our company goals. We have found that the quarterly coaching sessions are very well received. Team members value the feedback, have clear expectations and are accountable for achieving their goals. It is helping us clearly identify our ‘stars’- those in whom we plan to invest our time and resources. For the first time we have a performance evaluation system that is linked to our tangible goals as well as our core values. We are very excited about this journey and the investment we are making in our team…our most valuable asset!

Bon's Eye Marketing implemented the Performance Culture System several months ago and has since noticed a steady change for the better. In the short term, we saw employees paying more attention to critical areas like time tracking, hitting deadlines, quality of output and communicating with fellow team members. In the long term, we've seen a general ease from the group as a whole, knowing that our goals / expectations are clearly defined.

We are so fortunate and thankful to be able to work with the Performance Culture strategies to refine our internal employee performance reviews. Performance Culture is an excellent summary of finding ways to make sense of all the various challenges of running a successful business.

The Performance Culture system has has turned performance evaluations from a low value, but necessary part of our business, to a key driver of company performance and improvement. We continue to benefit, grow, and succeed from the process. We look forward to years of benefit from the system.

We started using Performance Culture at the end of last year. It is a very useful, well defined and intuitive human resources performance program.
The set-up process requires a certain amount of welcomed self-reflection on the part of the company, useful ways to communicate the goals and expectations to the employees, as well as simple to use and easy to navigate assessment portions of the program. Self-assessment and manager evaluation portions are well defined and flexible to be modified or amended if needed.
Useful and friendly tool for any company, small or mid-size, to use in their human resources management. Definitely a recommendation on my part.
