New Customers

2009-09-25T20:01:00.002-04:00

So I finished two sites this week. Here they are. Hopefully I will be able to upload the new templates I've been working on this week as well.

New Templates

2009-09-23T19:14:00.002-04:00

I've been working on some new templates. Here are the first few and others will be loaded this week.

We're Back!

After a break for personal reasons we are back and ready to work!

Currently we are running a sale for 40% off our templates. Use code 40Back to get the discount.

We can't wait to work with everyone again!

This has expired.

Sonflower Springs Speciality Shoppe

2008-08-02T23:43:00.003-04:00

Steph with Sonflower Springs Speciality Shoppe wanted a change to keep her customers attention without it being too overpowering and them leaving. This is what we came up with. I loaded part of her template this afternoon and by the time she told me she was happy with it she had even gotten some e-mails from her customers voicing their views. I've cut and paste them below.

"I LIKE THE NEW WEBSITE! Very bold, I like that!"

"I really like your new look! Very colorful and quite cheerful....... Pleasing to the eyes. Good job!"

"NICE!! The colored background made it more inviting and made me want to shop around a while. The look chosen made a world of difference. Great JOB!"

"The colors are very pleasing to the eye and your site was easy to navigate. I agree with Dee in that the background actually made me want to shop around. Cheers!"

"I aboslutely LOVE the new site design! It's so warm and inviting."

Purple Box Sampler

2008-07-31T11:57:00.003-04:00

Bonnibuns

2008-07-31T11:50:00.004-04:00

Bonny ordered early this morning and I had her up before lunch. She ordered one of my pre-made cloth diaper templates that I had so much fun designing.

Here is the e-mail that Bonny sent to me earlier this afternoon:

"You are an absolute superstar!! I have been pulling my hair out trying to work it all out myself.. I should

Have just enlisted your help in the first place!!! I cant thank you enough and will defiantly recommend

Your site to other people!"

New Templates

Nicky contacted me a few days ago wanting a template for her cloth diaper business. She settled on a pre-made template I had and I got her up and running this morning.

Here was her comment in her e-mail to me:

"I can't say thank you enough - I can't believe I didn't make the change earlier. I didn't think it would be so easy, you've done a wonderful job and your customer service is tops! :-)"

Bow Arts Bows

2008-05-22T10:23:00.003-04:00

I know that I've been a bad poster the past few weeks. I've been busy with some custom designs as well as finishing the Spring semester of school. Now it is time to start my summer session. BUT don't worry designs get done in a timely manner as always. Feel free to e-mail me if you have any additional questions.

Piper la Rue

Cooker Mom Creations

2008-05-10T10:32:00.001-04:00

I started working with Lacey a few weeks ago trying to get her site setup. After some problems that came up she needed help coding her site with another host. I'm a huge WAHMShoppes fan, but told her I'd be glad to help. Here is her site as well as her banner.

Abbey contacted me about a site I had for sale. I had designed this template and then bought the web address to go with it. I fell in love with it, but told myself no new projects! So Abbey and her mother are going to use it for their store instead. :)

T. Gray's

2008-04-22T09:17:00.003-04:00

I've expanded my portfolio to show off Restaurants now. I have been working on T. Gray's website and it is almost complete. Just waiting on some pictures and information from the owners.

I've been busy...

2008-04-22T09:16:00.002-04:00

I know I haven't been updating again and I'm sorry. I've been working on a few designs, but am waiting on their hosting to get setup so we can make them public. This should be happening in the next few days hopefully.

I'll post links as soon as it is done.

Our Client Forum....

2008-03-25T12:07:00.002-04:00

(what you click to login)

....has been a success. We've had it up on the site for almost a month and a half and there have been almost 500 posts!

It has been so easy to answer customer questions and help my customers with all of their needs. I know I can check my e-mail from anywhere on the web, but this really is much easier.

I am still having clients contacting me for additional work since they said customer service has been so wonderful as well as asking questions they don't feel comfortable asking on the wonderful forum that WAHM Services has.

I'm so glad I added this feature to my site.

My Little Purple Box

2008-03-25T10:06:00.004-04:00

I've been telling everyone I've had a couple of sites in the works and this is one of them. It still needs a few tweaks, but it is almost complete. Angi also asked me to create a forum and blog for her as well. Both are up but since her blog doesn't have any text in it yet I figured I'd wait to post a preview of that later. Hopefully everyone is having a great week!

She sent me the background image and I took it from there.

Blogger Templates are coming...

2008-03-20T20:22:00.005-04:00

LeAun, from Sew Blessed Bowtique, contacted me about doing her blogger template. We are currently working on a new store for her (I'll post it after we're done) and she thought maybe I could help her. After getting the exact design she was looking for in mind off I went to work. Here was the end product.

I'm looking at adding two and three column blogger templates to my site sometime in the next month. I need to add some premade's as well as the custom option.

Crochet WIshes & Handmade Dreams

2008-03-20T20:10:00.004-04:00

Tracy contacted me today very frustrated. She had most of her images together, but couldn't get the coding to get her site done. She had stayed up until 3 a.m. working on her site and was almost ready to throw in the towel. Once she got everything over to me I had her up and running in about 30 minutes.

This is what she wrote me back after I got her up:

"Amanda,

You just don't know how invaluable you were to me today. My stress level has gone down sooo much. I almost gave up on the whole store idea altogether. You are wonderful at what you do, and I appreciate it so much. "

Debbie Dykes Gifts/Sassy Kids

2008-03-14T09:05:00.004-04:00

Debbie decided to take her store and go wholesale. Since she wasn't in mode 4 yet I contacted her to see if she wanted her site redone. I know how most WAHM's don't have a huge budget for templates for their sites so I offered to do a barter. Some of her adorable cute dresses for a site update.

She agreed. As we spoke via e-mail I could tell she was a little hesitant due to the fact she wasn't sure everything else (adding products, pictures, etc) would still work the same. I promised she'd love it after the upgrade was done and she told me she trusted me.

I've probably gotten about 10 e-mails telling me how thrilled she has been!! I think it looks great and she already had people telling her how great the site looked within hours of us doing the change.

I hope it brings her a great increase in her business!

It's been a very busy template weekend...

2008-03-09T14:26:00.008-04:00

It's amazing how many templates I finally have time to put together when I don't have normal wireless access. :) I don't stop to check my e-mail or the forums. I figured it was time to do some updates since I haven't loaded new templates for a few weeks. There will be more coming soon as well. :)

Hoo Loves You (Baby)

2008-03-07T23:31:00.002-05:00

I designed a new template this evening. I got the idea last night, but didn't have the time until this evening. It comes with either http://www.wholovesyoubaby.com or http://www.hoolovesyou.com

If the new owner decides they want http://www.hoolovesyou.com the change will be made to the header. :)

Tutorial Site Revamped as well....

2008-03-06T20:51:00.002-05:00

I finally got a chance to revamp the tutorial site I wrote as well. I am in love with it! :) Feel free to check it out at www.wahmshoppestutorials.com

Updated our site design...

2008-03-06T12:18:00.003-05:00

I don't know what it is about having a site design for a while I get an "itch" to make changes. I decided yesterday to update my two column design to a three column design.

I also went in and added a few new things to it. I added a button to my tutorial site I have written and I also added a "Customer Spotlight" area. I will place customers here for a two week period to showcase their products and the template I designed for them.

Currently Amanda with Precious Bows is there. She sent me a box of goodies yesterday as a thank you for all the help and I cannot tell you how pleased I am with the quality of her work!

I've also added the option to turn any template into a three column template for an extra $10.00. Just select this option when you select all the options with your template.

Hopefully I will get a little more time to update the site with new templates this week.

Have a great week everyone!

Stamp-a-Rue

2008-03-06T12:13:00.003-05:00

Rhonda with Stamp-a-Rue sells hand carved rubber stamps. Hopefully this adorable template she choose will help showcase her products. :)

Minnie's Haven

2008-02-28T16:11:00.000-05:00

Barbara with Minnie's Haven started e-mailing me when she was trying to decide which host to use. I of course suggested WahmShoppes. We worked out her design and she choose the Orange, Red, and Yellow pre-made template.

**After the design process is complete I cannot be held responsible for any changes the owner does to their site** :)

Brown budget template is popular

2008-02-22T16:33:00.004-05:00

I've sold two brown budget templates lately, so they must be popular.

Amanda with Cute Prints & More purchased the Cocoa Brown template for her adorable site.

Amanda with Precious Bows bought the brown template for her adorable bow site.

(I did find it ironic that both their names were Amanda & they purchased the same color scheme template on the same day, hehe)

Bach Creations

2008-02-22T16:01:00.002-05:00

Kathy with Bach Creations contacted me once she decided to open up a second shop. She is currently co-owner of Trendy Tot Designs. She wasn't completely satisfied with the shopping cart she was using there so she wanted to change to WahmShoppes. Check out her adorable custom bedding and nursery accessories.

Barbara contacted me from Scrapz-a-lot wanting a change. I hope she is happy with it. Barbara sells scrapbooking goodies of all sorts. She even does a camp called "Camp Brookfield" in April with a local scrapbooking store in Australia where she is based.

Brittany contacted me this morning wanting a new template for her site. Here is the end result. Her store will be for bows, custom made outfits, burp cloths and soon to be monogrammed items. I wish her the best of luck!

Valentine's Day Give-a-way Winner!

2008-02-14T08:21:00.003-05:00

Elizabeth with Suds 'n' Sass won the contest I ran last week. She was with another host and had just joined WahmShoppes when she saw my message and entered. She couldn't believe that she had won since "She had never won anything".

Elizabeth has been a pleasure to work with and has even been wonderful helping me test out the new customer service forum I launched. Hopefully she feels the same way. :)

Give her a few days to stock her store, but then check her out.

Oh Bows!

2008-02-13T08:12:00.000-05:00

Molly from Oh Bows! contacted me yesterday because she wanted a small change made to the template I made her a few months ago. She wanted some hot pink.

I really wasn't impressed with the way adding hot pink to her old background looked so we found a new one that worked.

Her new site was up and running in less than 24 hours. All banner, business cards, etc were updated as well to reflect the new site.

New Client Login

2008-02-10T22:39:00.000-05:00

I've been noticing lately that occasionally someone will have an e-mail problem during the design process. To help with the issues no e-mail can cause I've created a "Client Forum".

Once a customer has picked their design and pays they go to the forum and sign up. I think make them their own dedicated forum and we work directly from there. Since we both can post pictures, etc. I am able to share all previews of their design.

I hope this works out as well as I think it will!

The link is under "Client Login" (right under the blog link)

Winner FOUND!

2008-02-10T22:38:00.000-05:00

Elizabeth with Suds 'n' Sass is the winner. Be on the look out for her new template in the next few days. She just switched to WahmShoppes today so it might take a few extra days.

Here is her blog where she talks about her win.

Valentine's Day Give-a-way!

2008-02-10T14:00:00.000-05:00

All you have to do is be the first person to find the heart image in the write-up for one of my OOAK templates (underneath the template preview image). Once you have found it e-mail me at info@wahmshoppestemplates.com and I'll get you set up. You'll then be featured in our blog as the winner!

Domestic Goddess Crochet

2008-02-08T12:56:00.001-05:00

Debbie contacted me earlier in the week after she decided to move her store from Etsy. She already had some of her images picked out and we went from there.

Here are her responses just to the "mock-up " I made for her.

"I love it!!!! :)

I really do!!

I love that font!! It's so fun!

You are PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

New templates....keep 'em coming....

2008-02-05T00:17:00.001-05:00

So I've been working with some wonderful woman this evening on some new site designs. After completing them both in record speed I was given inspiration to work on designing some more templates.

I love this one!! I am selling this one as a package deal. It will come with the domain http://www.happyasalarkboutique.com

Do you see a theme tonight? (hehe)

New OOAK Templates

2008-02-02T15:33:00.000-05:00

I've been so busy lately that I haven't been able to load new OOAK templates. I'm going to try to spend some time this weekend getting at least 5 of them up.

Have a happy and safe weekend everyone!

Scrapper's Delight

2008-02-02T00:11:00.000-05:00

I designed a template back in October for Marijke at Scrapper's Delight and recently created an advertising banner for her as well.

Designs By Cilla

2008-02-02T00:04:00.000-05:00

Priscilla with Designs by Cilla ordered some of my web design service extras. Here are the two banners that I created for her. I also did some link exchanges as well as creating a favIcon for her site.

Neglecting my blogging duties....

2008-01-22T12:12:00.000-05:00

I know I've been pretty bad about blogging lately. I've been busy with templates and my personal life. Being a single mom is tough sometimes!

The beginning of January I started back to school. I'm only doing three classes right now but it has been nice so far. Today I have one of my first Chemistry tests....so maybe my mind will change after that, hehe.

I'm going to try to catch up on putting some posts up on my "work" that I've been doing while I haven't been a good blogger in the next few weeks.

Sapuria Soap Company

2008-01-18T12:55:00.000-05:00

I know that I just created Carole with Sapuria Soap Company, but she came to me wanting to update her template. She found the woman with the orange hair and I took it from there. I think it turned out great....very peaceful!

These WAHD's must be coming out of the wood work this week. I've worked with another pair of dads, well the wife of one mainly. :) I thought the site turned out very cute and fun. I can't wait for them to add content and get their business up and running.

Nuturing Mom & Baby

2007-12-08T20:14:00.000-05:00

I sure do love paisley....and so does Erica with Nurturing Mom & Baby. She bought this template at the end of the week in order to revamp a site she bought recently.

Holiday Templates

Holiday Templates are up! :)

Yeah I know I'm a blogging slacker...

2007-12-01T11:24:00.000-05:00

So...I've been a very bad poster.

Blogger has this really great feature where you can save your posts and not publish them later. I've been choosing to do this since I've been so busy with clients and my personal life.

I've finally published them all this morning. I know I have more things to post, but I just haven't had time. I'll catch up one day, hehe!

WahmShoppes Templates Re-Vamp

2007-11-29T11:17:00.000-05:00

I'm in the process of re-doing my site AGAIN! I know I change my design more than I should, but when I get a vision I can't help it. :)

Please bare with me while I'm updating the site along with working on any orders I get in at the same time. I promise by the end of the weekend it will all work together.

Where to Start Websites

2007-11-28T23:20:00.000-05:00

So I've joined forces with Melissa at Where to Start Websites. Melissa had a great idea of having a Aussie based service that helps mums over there get their businesses off the ground. She has asked myself and one other designer to put our designs on her site.

I have my products listed on my site and then on hers. Whenever an order comes in the template will be deleted off of both sites. This will still keep all templates that are supposed to be only sold once remain the same. I don't want anyone to feel like I'm trying to sell them twice. :)

New OOAK Templates

2007-11-27T12:05:00.000-05:00

I've added some great new OOAK templates to my site in the last week. Check them out!

;)

2007-11-20T09:04:00.000-05:00

A new site coming soon......

So I've been working on this one design for a couple of weeks. The client and I have been trying to get the correct "woodsy feel". I think we almost have it and I can't wait to post it on here once it gets complete.

Oh Bows!

2007-11-17T10:40:00.000-05:00

Molly contacted me from OhBows.net . She wanted to re-vamp her store and fell in love with my Pretty in Pink template. Since she has a current store and didn't want to have any downtime she set up her hosting with WahmShoppes under a "temporary" store. Tony usually sets these stores up under a wahmweb.com address. So now you know why some stores have that in their address bar.

**After the design process is complete I cannot be held responsible for any changes the owner does to their site** :)

Sapuria Soap Company

2007-11-16T22:31:00.000-05:00

Carole is probably one of my most loyal customers. I've worked with her previously on one of her other sites and she keeps coming back for more. Here is the new static banner we made for her site Sapuria Soap Company.

Bare Body Spa Products

2007-11-12T00:03:00.000-05:00

It's funny sometimes how you get clients. Marrianne contacted me because she was worried about her WahmShoppes setup. A few days later she received her setup and she contacted me on a few questions she had. She knew exactly what she wanted her site to look like and told her I would be glad to help her.

It was amazing how taking her out of mode 2 into 4 transformed her store. It not only made it look more professional, but this was what she wanted to begin with.

Okay ladies...I had a first today. I was contacted by Kylie Short with tildavirtual.com.au to set up a store for one of her clients. She contacted me with Caroline's specifics and off to work I went.

Kylie and I proofed items back and forth for Caroline. I was amazed at the different items that were purchased without me ever having contact with Caroline. It all worked out fine though. :)

Marijke contacted me before she signed up with WahmShoppes. She had been with her current hosting company for a while and had experienced numerous times with her site down and she wanted a change. I told her WahmShoppes was the way to go. You get so much bang for your buck each month!

Marijke really liked my daisy pre-made template so off to work I went.

Krystie bought one of my fun "Jungle" themed templates for her site Woddle Bots. When she placed her order she also ordered letterhead, banners, and all the works. Here is her completed site...well minus her stocking it, hehe.

Budget Templates are available....

2007-11-01T17:20:00.000-04:00

I've been working pretty hard on getting some cheap templates done so that someone can do an easy switch to Mode 4 without spending a big chunk of change. Check them out. I've loaded about 8 of them so far, but have about 8 more to go.

I'll still customize the header with your store name and tagline, but no other changes will be made for free.

....but still for $7 you can't beat that ;)

Free Pre-Made Template Winner

2007-11-01T07:58:00.000-04:00

I ran a contest on the WahmShoppes Forums stating the first person to purchase one of my website services would get a free pre-made template. Julie with Mama's Helpin Hand & Retail Co. was the winner.

Julie already knew she wanted the "Pinks & Browns" template. She ordered the animated button package to go with her new site. The site turned out great and I was glad to give her a face lift! I hope she is as pleased with it as I am.

Molly's Bubbles & Bangles

2007-11-01T00:10:00.001-04:00

Molly wanted a face lift so she picked out my "Pink & Brown Flowers" pre-made template and I went to work. Since it was a template I was able to have her up and running about 2 hours after her order was placed. She also ordered new banners for her site as well.

I thought everything turned out nice. Very soft colors that went well with the "feel" she was trying to get for her site.

Here is what she wrote on the WahmShoppesForum:

" I bought a template from Amanda with Wahmshoppes Templates and I love love love it!! She had me up and running so fast I didn't even know what hit me. LOL I think it looks awesome! Now I can get ready for my Christmas sale!!"

Happy Halloween!

2007-10-31T09:00:00.000-04:00

Have a safe and happy Halloween! I can't wait to take my two year old out trick-or-treating this evening. She's two and sort of understands what is going on. She's been talking about "can-ey" all afternoon. I'll let her have a piece of it and then mommy will put her "can-ey" away for mommy, hehe.

Anne contacted me to make her some new buttons since her previous designer was no longer in business. Anne was so in love with font she had to do some searching to figure out which one it was. After that was taken care of off to work I went. Since the new buttons were so much crisper I offered to clean up the rest of her site. She seemed very pleased and even wrote this feedback:

"I thoroughly enjoyed working with Amanda! She really knows her stuff! Amanda is talented, thorough, generous, and an excellent communicator. I love how she not only did everything I asked of her, she went above and beyond by making helpful suggestions and then following through with them at no extra charge. If you need help with your wahmshoppe, I highly recommend you contact Amanda! You will be so glad you did. I sure am! - Anne Martin, www.LittleBoppers.com"

New Pre-Made Templates Updated!

2007-10-29T20:06:00.000-04:00

I've finally uploaded all the new pre-made templates I've been working on. There are 12 new ones total. I've got a few more in the works as we speak so hopefully I can get them uploaded between my current work load in the next few weeks.

Bubble Gum Bowtique

2007-10-26T06:11:00.000-04:00

Kristie had been wanting a change to her site so when I contacted her on a barter for some bows for my daughter she took me up on my offer. I used her existing graphics and this is what we came up with.

Here is a picture of my daughter modeling her brown bow with teal dots. I've received so many compliments on it.

Ohio!

2007-10-14T08:09:00.000-04:00

Well my daughter and I made it safely to Ohio a few weeks ago. It was a long drive, but worth it once we completed my nephew's nursery.

We had a small party for my daughter up here as well since she turned 2 today! I can't believe how fast the first two years have past. I swear I felt like I was pregnant forever, but this time is going by in the blink of an eye.

I'm still working on pre-mades in between getting the house baby ready.....hopefully between the few electrical problems (my daughter flipped a surge protector off and it killed the power to three outlets in the living room) and adjusting to the fall air things will start going smoother. :)

Posh Tot Boutique

Denise needed help adding products to her site. She was busy getting her business started and wanted to still open her site on a deadline. I was glad to help and ended up adding numerous products, doing photo editing, and any other items Denise worked on. She was a pleasure to work with and has adorable products. Check her out!

Carol's Country Candles & More

2007-10-08T23:15:00.000-04:00

Carol was looking for something smooth and relaxing for her site. She ordered my "Simply Sage" pre-made template off my site and we both feel it turned out wonderful. Even her husband was impressed! I sent some of the candles to my sister as a gift and she keeps telling me how wonderful they smell. I can't wait to smell them when I go up for a visit.

After I finished her site Carol ordered animated banners, business cards, and letterhead. Here are a few samples of what we came up with.

Link Exchanges

2007-10-02T06:29:00.000-04:00

Here is a service I started offering because of a post another momma made on the WahmShoppes Forum. I never realized how many people didn't like to do link exchanges! Since I've started offering this service back in August I've probably done over 1500 link exchanges. You have to understand that really is more like 3000 since you have to do a reciprocal link on their site as well!

With this service I take the time to see exactly what business I am "marketing" for. I want to make sure I place the link exchanges with companies that sell similar products, but not exactly the same. I don't want anyone walking away once I've completed the link exchanges going "that was a waste of money".

Since this was so popular I've decided to offer Top Site Submits as well.

Thanks for keeping me busy ladies (and gentlemen)!

I created a "manly" (as requested) animated banner for Bryce with BJM Maintenance.

Linda contacted me after she ran out of "steam" (as she called it) creating her store front page. She wanted her store to match the store front. I implemented all the correct tags where she needed them and got her up and running.

The Green Gift Basket

2007-09-18T10:52:00.000-04:00

Kristine contacted me wanting a custom site built around her logo. She told me what colors she was interested in and this was the final result:

It was such a pleasure working with her. I love working with people that know exactly what their vision is. It makes the design process so easy.

FavIcon's

2007-09-12T08:12:00.000-04:00

I know a lot of people e-mail me asking exactly what a FavIcon is....so I thought I'd write a blog about it.

Have you ever noticed when you go to a site how it has the really cool image next to the web address? Look up at the bar now....you see that Orange square with the B in it? Yep that's a FavIcon!

It is a way to make your site stand out even more relatively cheap. Just beware that it generally takes a week or so for the FavIcon to show up permanently. I know it's silly, but it has something to do with FireFox and Internet Explorer.

Carrie is back!

2007-09-06T18:13:00.000-04:00

Carrie from MyNameMusic is back for more....

Carrie contacted me and asked me to create letterhead for her site. We were going to make it printable at a different company, but then decided to make it printable by her at home.

I' ve been busy!

2007-09-06T06:45:00.000-04:00

I've been super busy around here! I've taken a break from doing web design to make some more pre-made templates. As well as working on that I've been getting ready to go back up and visit my pregnant sister. She's do in a few weeks and doesn't have her nursery ready.

Check back soon for the new pre-made templates to be uploaded.

Carrie's Specialty Shops

2007-09-05T14:00:00.000-04:00

Linda wrote a message on WAHMShoppes Forum (which is a wonderful resource by the way) about how her "shop" graphic was too large for a header and because of this she was going to have to wait a while to upgrade her site from Mode2. I asked her to e-mail me her graphic to see what I could work up for her. We went back and forth to figure out exactly what she wanted and we both are so pleased. After I completed her site I went to work on a new animated banner for her as well.

Tenisha contacted me in regards to making her business cards after seeing Carrie's from MyNameMusic. We took her website header and used that as the main focus of her card. She knew exactly what she wanted and we had her cards done very quickly.

Wrapped For Life!

2007-09-03T19:46:00.000-04:00

Our first "official" customer on our new site! Brandy wanted a new look and chose one of our pastel pre-mades. It went perfectly with her products and was a breeze to set up. I also created an animated banner to match.

We're Moving!

2007-09-01T21:41:00.000-04:00

So I've decided to buy www.wahmshoppestemplates.com. All of my previous business was done through my tutorial site www.wahmshoppetutorials.com.

This should hopefully bring some fun and exciting changes in my life!

Ahhh Help!

2007-08-23T20:30:00.000-04:00

This must be one of my most popular items on my Web Design Services page. You guys have kept me super busy trying to figure out what needed to happen to your HTML to get your site looking the way you want.

I know sometimes it is because you try to go in and tinker with your site (trust me I used to do this too) and then all of a sudden it gets out of wack. I'm glad to help to keep your site looking in tip top shape so your customers aren't confused when they shop in your store.

Keep the requests coming and I'll keep working as hard as I can.

:)

I Love Ladybugs!

Carolyn contacted me today and had started her top 100 site but couldn't get it to match her website (www.theredthreadtradingcompany.com) exactly the way she wanted to. I went to work and created two "proofs" to see exactly what her vision was. She e-mailed me back and I got to work. After matching her top 100 site to her web site I went to work on the banners to match. Carolyn let me know exactly what she wanted and left me guessing at nothing.

MyNameMusic

2007-08-13T21:12:00.000-04:00

So Carrie has been keeping me busy. She had her site designed by Web 4 U a while back but wanted some products to match. I created her FavIcon, setup her affiliate site, and created her animated banners. Then as soon as I was done with the first order she ordered two more services off my site. She had me complete some link exchanges for her as well as create her business cards. We did a foil effect on them and they turned out wonderful. She has been such a joy to work with!

Check out her site at www.mynamemusic.com

I ordered the "Jesus Loves Me" album as well as the "Playtime" album and my 2 year old loves them.

This shows the "foil" effect.
