FREE Website Checkup
($50 value - free for a limited time.)
In order to be successful, your website needs to contain certain elements that include both good design and proper marketing. Your website will be evaluated for eight standards of a successful website. Your report will include an explanation and assessment of each standard, along with general tips for improvement (if needed). Small business websites only, no coorporate owned or affiliate sites and no "blog sites".

The Skinny Shoestring - Home Office Advice
This site is another great resource for anyone trying to operate a small business on a budget. I recommend the articles on avoiding scams, basic business instructions, and marketing and promotion. Click here to visit them. (Opens in new window.) Although they offer similar services, I've listed them here because they have lots of helpful and honest information.

If you're not quite ready for do-it-yourself website design and need help on a tight budget, then KC is the lady to see. She has a great sense of style and creativity and always gives excellent customer service. And if you need a little more help, she and I can work for you together to create a design, graphics and copy to help you take your business to the next level.
