Busy, busy, busy is the theme for this summer so far, and I am grateful for it. I've launched a couple of websites recently and there's lots of new projects in the pipeline. I look forward to sharing more about these projects eventually. As always, I appreciate my clients and the trust they place in this small-town Northern Michigan business.

If you'd like to work with me on a website or a redesign, please get ahold of me sooner than later to start planning. My calendar is booked and and only getting busier!

The little one is always watching. I found her happily tapping away on my keyboard last night. Maybe it’s time to hire an intern?

Thinking about hiring a web designer? It's a big decision, and a little preparation goes a long way. You'd be surprised how often someone reaches out and says, "I need a website," without giving it much further thought.

Before you start contacting web designers, take some time to define your goals. Think about your budget! Consider the look and feel you're going for, and have a general vision for your website. And most importantly, don't be afraid to ask for references.

These simple steps will put you ahead of the game and make sure you end up with a website you're proud to call your own.

It’s that time of year in Northern Michigan when seasonal businesses are waking up from their winter slumber and preparing to welcome summer visitors to our region.

If you run a seasonal business, remember to update your hours! Listing your hours accurately on your website, social media, and Google Business Profile is one of the simplest ways to make sure customers can find you when they need you.
