Why would anyone in their right mind offer so much knowledge for free?

Easy: we’re not in our right mind.  No, really; we want you to know. Our founder has been helping companies design websites for over a decade.  In Internet time, that’s like an eternity.  Each time a client call us, the challenge seems to be the same: they’re overwhelmed, they’re not sure where to start and not feeling comfortable about planning their project.  What better way to start a relationship with new people than to share with them the knowledge that they’re seeking?

We’re not trying make you into a web designer; we want to help you, the marketing professional or anyone else who’s been slapped with the task of getting information together to build or rebuild the company website.

Our goal is to share with you the tools that you need to make a capable decision about what should be in your site and who should build it. We want you to  feel empowered when you go to start the website building process and feel certain you’re moving in the right direction. Sharing the correct information with prospects so you can make more money. That doesn’t sound so hard right?

Someday…

We hope you’ll be ready to build the perfect site for your company, and that throughout our e-course, we’ll have left you with a favorable impression of MayeCreate Design.  We hope that you will consider giving us a call when you’re ready to get started interviewing designers so that we can help you plan and build the perfect project!

It’s the 31 day mark of 2012! What are you doing to improve your business this year?

At the beginning of every new year, many companies make resolutions for the upcoming year. Even though some people think it’s cheesy or that it doesn’t actually work, setting and writing down your goals in 2012 might actually help you achieve them.

Make your goals SMART

Having goals in your professional and personal life are good, make sure that you have a plan of action and you are making SMART goals so that you will feel great knowing you can achieve them. SMART is made up of Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Timely. Make sure that you can reach the goals you set in the next year. To learn more about SMART goals visit http://topachievement.com/smart.html.

Glenn D. Chamber's new wildlife photography portfolio web design.

Each and every time we wrap up a large project, we give ourselves a little pat on the back and a big high-five to our client. This time, the big high five goes out to Glenn D. Chambers. Glenn first approached us about building a portfolio website for his wildlife photography in 2011. Since then, we have gone through the creative and building processes (not to mention the revisions!) which has lead to a beautiful portfolio site.

Glenn’s many accomplishments can be found on his bio page and anyone can order a print of any of the photos on his site through the Request a Photo page. We encourage all of our clients, friends and anyone else who reads this to take a look at Glenn’s inspiring wildlife photography and let us know what you think. You can visit his site at glenndchambers.com.

Holiday season at MayeCreate means a few things.

1.  We’ll be in and out of the office a bit more than usual.  Marie and Monica will be taking a bit of a break between Christmas and New Years and Stacy will be in and out of the office periodically during the entire week.  Please feel free to email us if you need assistance.  We’ll all still be available, just not as readily as usual.  If you need immediate assistance you may call the Tranquility office at 573-443-3983 and they’ll track one of us down.
2. We’re too proud of our fun word art Christmas cards, designed by our new designer, Laura, with a surprise snow flake cut out activity on the inside. So if we were not previously convinced of our own cleverness we would be now.  We hope you all enjoy these fun artsy cards as much as we do!
3. We are thankful for your business this year, for believing in our company and helping us achieve success.  We wish you a safe, healthy and lovely holiday season!
