Our most recent websites and blogs…

We listen carefully to every client and create a website or blog that meets their needs. Some we create from scratch and we have replaced outdated websites with a new WordPress website. I help clients set up accounts for hosting their website for as little as $5.95/month. We set up email services that match their domain name and some clients choose to access their email through a free email client like Google’s gmail.

Paul C Aspelin recently wrote his first book titled The Underwater Social:Create Your Own Housing Bailout. We are marketing the book and his real estate insight on www.underwatersocial.com. Readers can buy the book online from this website or directly from Amazon.com. We set up a PayPal account and downloaded their PayHere app so we can accept credit card payments in person using our smart phones. In the future we will be adding mp3 files of his radio interviews and create informative and entertaining interview videos. We also created a Facebook Page, Underwater Social, with a custom Cover Image to match the website header. Paul is adding blog posts weekly as part of the book launch marketing campaign.

A beautiful site to look at because of the ART. I was asked to create a website for this annual event in Carver County and was thrilled to work on the project. The organizers are now managing the site and making updates as necessary. Lots of photos on this site. Each artist has their own page, optimizing SEO.

We transformed Cathy’s original site with a third party blog provider into one WordPress site. It didn’t take long to move the content over to her new site. Now the colors match her brand. Eventually Cathy will add her own blog posts. We added a page just for her weekly Radio Show. We made two videos to showcase her two main types of services for her clients. She shows the videos during presentations and networking events.

Bill Hughes was referred to me by his daughter, Melissa Carlson in my Women in Networking Chapter. I am so thankful to Melissa because Bill was an absolute delight to work with. Bill has been a booking agent for bands and entertainers for the majority of his working life and now he is branching out on his own. His goal was to have a professional looking website to highlight his services. We are also working on a brochure that includes a talent roster he can use when he calls on nightclubs, casino’s and other venues.

“Michelle is excellent at web design and marketing. I couldn’t have asked for more. It can’t be done any better than she does it!” ~ Bill Hughes

Pam was referred to us by a past client. Her and her husband Mark needed a website to showcase their beautiful pottery. As former owners of the Mocha Monkey in Waconia, they are now focusing on their new company and making pottery together. We chose a narrow website with a black background to highlight the pottery. Pam had professional photos taken, money well spent. We added a slideshow of 20 images and still images on the Gallery page. We kept it simple, yet effective.

“Michelle was a pleasure to work with.  She made everything easy with clear explanation, thoroughness and quick turnaround.  I highly recommend Michelle.” -Pam Braunwarth, owner of Oliver Clay Co.

Michelle Nash already had a website for her residential care homes, but the designer was hard to reach and she couldn’t do any of the edits herself. After helping her set up a Facebook page, she came back about 2 months later and asked if we could make her a new website, and so we did. We designed it to look like her old site. We made a few recommendations for additional content, made sure it could be accessed on a mobile device and trained Michelle so she can make edits herself moving forward.

Karen was referred to me by a past client. She had attended a class on how to make websites and she made one for her professional counseling business. However, she wasn’t coming up on Google’s search engines. I explained that she could purchase search optimization services, or built a new site that is already search engine friendly for a one-time investment. Since she wasn’t thrilled with her design, we moved forward to create a simple WordPress website that would explain her services.

“Michelle did a great job! She helped me rework my web site so that it gets more visability and better reflects my business and expertise. She was detail oriented, easy to work with, and intuitive in understanding my needs, personality and what I wanted for my site. I would highly recommend her.” -Karen Brinkman, owner of New Perspective Counseling

She is patient, personable and knowledgeable about how to market my business effectively in a tough econonmy, yet do it in a cost-effective manner – something that few people can do currently. I am well pleased with the work Ms. Aspelin has done and feel confident about utlizing her services in the future as well.” -Greg Walsh, owner of Victoria Mental Health Services
