While working with client Deanne Depass Feaster of Studio 13 New Orleans, we had time to shoot a quick video about her experience working with me and how things are going with her website.
A big part of maintaining one’s website is continuing to add relevant content that your clients and prospects will find useful and relevant. Each site I set up is ready to go with editing by you – the client. There’s no need to call (although you are always welcome to 
or learn html code or programming. You are in the driver’s seat from the beginnig.
If you can update a Microsoft document, you have 98% of the skills you need to maintain your own website. Deanne and I went over some of the basics during our visit. Here she talks about the process.

Aishah Shahidah Simmons, Philadelphia based filmmaker talks about her experience with my design and web strategies for her business. Check out her new site we designed at http://www.NOTheRapeDocumentary.org
Here were her challenges and needs:
- Have access to website for frequently changes and updates
- Let folks know where films are screening
- Highlight video trailers of films and shorts
- Feature the voices of others in testimonials
- Allow potential schools and organization contact her without necessarily giving them complete access to her immediately.
- Qualify potential clients and their ability to screen her film and pay for her honorarium fees
- Have a clean, nice site that grows with her
Our solution to all of this was to create a WordPress Site/Blog hosted on her existing domain.
- She can now update her site whenever she needs to
- Add events and testimonials
- Received emails from potential contacts without them having direct access to her
- Add audio and video to her site
- Get great Search Engine Optimization and lots more traffic as a result
- Keep in contact with her supports and clients via a new mailing list we set up
- Highlight her work and accomplishments.
