The Simply Creative studio will be closed May 27-31 for Memorial Day. I will be monitoring e-mail daily, but will respond only to emergencies. All other e-mail and quotes requests will be answered when I re-open on June 1. Enjoy your holiday weekend :o)

Hi All! I finally got a new button ad put together. I’ve had a few people inquire about exchanging banners and doing blog advertising, so I thought I’d better get mine finished up. If you are a Simply Creative customer and want to exchange banners, please contact me. I’ll add you to my Favorite Peeps over in the sidebar.

Please click here to grab the HTML for my banner and add it to your site or blog!

(SEO Tip: obtaining backlinks from other high quality sites is one of the best things you can do to increase your search engine visibility – so get out there and start exchanging links today!)

I have another premade website ready to go! My goal is to have a variety of styles, color palettes, etc. I realize not everyone wants pink and girly, LOL! This one is a little more stylish and sophisticated. Hope you like it!

Hello and welcome to our first blog post of 2010. I hope you had a wonderful holiday season and that you are well rested and re-energized for the upcoming year! To kick things off, I thought I would share with you some of the exciting changes I am implementing around here.

I’ve spent a lot of time during the past few weeks doing “business planning” – figuring out what type of clients I enjoy the most, what direction I want to take my business, etc. Although I love working with all types of business, my favorite are small and medium-sized boutiques. I love working with start-ups and work-at-home moms that are expanding their businesses to the web.

Since that is my focus, I decided to revise my product offerings to better suit them. I will still offer the same Complete E-Commerce package that I have always had (including Simple Cart software, web hosting, e-mail set-up, logo and website design, product entry, etc.), but I will be introducing a new, less expensive design package – Basic E-Commerce – for people who are on a tight budget and don’t mind doing product entry and adding page content themselves. This new package will be priced at $2,500.

I will also be offering more premade websites (sometimes referred to as premade website templates). My goal is to put out 2-3 designs per month. These will be one-of-a-kind designs that will be sold one time only. I do not plan to offer “budget” templates that are sold to multiple people. My premade websites will be offered at $2,000-$2,500. If you’d like to be notified when new premade websites are available, please subscribe to the blog via RSS or e-mail. All new releases will be posted here!

I’m excited about these changes and hope you are too! Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

A..

To all our blog readers, we wish you a happy, healthy and successful New Year!

And thanks for all the wonderful comments about our new site design. I’m pretty happy with the way it turned out and so glad to get positive feedback on it. I don’t know about you, but I’m really excited to start the new year and get back to my normal routine. I’ll be back in the studio on Monday. See you then!

Hi all! Just a quick post to let you know that we are officially closed for Christmas break! Please join us when we re-open on January 4th. We will sporting a brand new look and making some exciting changes to our service offerings.

I hope you have a blessed holiday season!

Happy Friday to all! Wanted to let you know that a previous customer of mine is selling her website. You can view the site at www.ideazinbloom.com/shop
