Testimonials
Working with Alison Shuman from Alison Shuman Media was an excellent experience. She supported us in bringing our existing site into the NationBuilder platform and helped us think through exciting and creative ways to use its tools to grow our community. With her guidance we were able to set up features that allow us to recruit volunteers, receive donations, launch events, run campaigns, and more.
One of the most valuable aspects of working with Alison was her deep knowledge of the NationBuilder platform and her creative approach to problem solving. NationBuilder has its limitations, and Alison helped us find smart and effective ways to work within those while still creating something that felt dynamic and tailored to our needs.

Alison has quickly become a critical part of our digital capability at Stonehaven with her high-quality delivery across a number of NationBuilder website projects for us. What stands out about Alison is her ability to offer up solutions to our challenges proactively, often providing builds on our ideas and designs that make our websites better for the users and even more reliable across browsers and devices. I'd highly recommend Alison for anyone looking for a top-quality developer that they can rely on, someone that is quick but also has a high attention to detail.
Chris Loy · Director · Stonehaven Global
Given the sensitive nature of our domestic violence work and the timing of our rebrand, our key priorities for the new website were to make it cutting-edge for professionals, engaging for supporters, and easy to navigate for survivors and community members of all electronic literacy levels. Alison’s design not only met these needs and aligned with the launch of our rebrand but also allowed for future expansion as our organization grows its online presence. Her willingness to bring our ideas for new interactive pages and features to life has been invaluable. Her creativity and ongoing assistance truly demonstrate her commitment to her clients. With her help, we now have a website that we’re proud of, one that expands our reach to communities in ways we never thought possible.

Working with Alison Shuman to build the American Justice Project website was an exceptionally productive and rewarding partnership. Blending technical expertise with creative insight, Alison brought our NationBuilder site to life in ways that far surpassed expectations. She transformed our functional and design requirements into a sleek, intuitive website that is both visually compelling and closely aligned with our mission. Not only did she fully customize the platform to our specific needs, she also ensured that our team could update and manage it moving forward. Alison is also a talented graphic designer who created AJP’s distinctive logo, capturing the spirit and boldness of our justice campaign. We’re deeply appreciative of her contributions, and recommend her enthusiastically to any organization seeking a thoughtful, skilled, and collaborative web partner.
Peter Little · Co-founder · American Justice Project
Alison Shuman has been our website guru since 2016 and is the most reliable, knowledgeable, professional, and talented person for the job. I am always impressed by her quick fixes to any problem that arises and in her solutions to our inquiries. Alison recently redesigned our website and did a phenomenal job. Her creativity stands out on every page. The dropdown menus that she created are user-friendly and the pages are clear and concise.
