Author: Our last new featured client this week is Manda’s Crafts. Just like Gia with OneHealthyMama.com, Manda is also a very good friend starting out with her own blog.

Several months ago I had the pleasure of working with Sarah Johnson, owner of Pampered Pet Care of Atlanta on her website. I added a blog to her existing website. Her dad owns Computer Movers, Inc. in Duluth, GA and she recommended he work with Purple Star Consulting on revamping their website.
Their new site incorporates content from their old site but in a concise manner that allows visitors to find what they are looking for with just a couple of clicks. With two contact forms, rotating testimonial and client flash files, newsletter sign up and a blog, there is a lot packed in to this site! If you are in need of seamless, smooth, fast & professional moves of computers, electronics, digital communication, & sensitive equipment, they are the company to call! Check out their new site at www.computermovers.net
Purple Star Consulting just finished off some new sites recently so wanted to show case the clients on our blog. The first one is for a dear friend named Gia. Gia is pretty inspirational to me and so many others out there. She lost 125 pounds all while working full time and being a single mom to three small children. Recently she was featured in an article in the AJC (Atlanta Journal Constitution published in GA). From the article came her desire to start an online blog.
Gia is going to feature recipes, weight loss ideas and tips on making it all work! I am so honored that she asked me to create her website! Gia is pretty techie herself so walking her through how to use the blog was a breeze. Looking forward to reading her articles! Check her out at OneHealthyMama.com
The blog was created using WordPress and is self hosted. Hosting WP allows for greater functionality and flexibility on your custom theme and plugins. Below you can see the one of a kind theme I created for the site. The site has a limited color scheme to keep it clean and not too “busy”. Another advantage of using WordPress is that Gia now has the tools needed to update her site as often as she wants to. Already she has a weeks worth of posts written out and ready to publish. Check her out and tell her I sent you! Can’t wait to read more my friend!
I recently worked with some wonderful new clients, so wanted to share with you and get them some visitors!
The first one is a business that already had a great sit. Sarah Johnson, the owner of Pampered Pet Care of Atlanta, realized the value of having a blog on her site. Having a blog gives you access to publish articles, educate people and inform clients of upcoming holiday news or services. She also knew that a blog is one of the key elements in having great search engine results.
I was able to use her current site as the template, and incorporate the blog right into it, using the same images, fonts and color scheme. She has some great things to say, so check out her blog here: http://www.pamperedpetcare.com/blog
Next is another pet sitting company, but this time they are in North Carolina. Pet Sitters of Charlotte are a relatively new company. Phil & Lisa Koch were great to work with. Phil knew that to have a site that would work “for” them, Twitter, Facebook and a blog were the way to go. I created a website using WordPress, giving them control of their own pages using the Content Management System that this blogging platform provides.
I added all of the standard features to their package including a favicon for their site, submitting their site to all of the major search engines, adding keywords, descriptions and titles, and providing them with Google Analytics to see who is visiting their site. Their site is still so new, a couple of extra visits won’t hurt, check them out! http://petsittersofcharlotte.com
The last site I want to highlight is one I worked on for a wonderful lady named Tracy Knight. Tracy and I must have had about 3 or 4 calls before I started doing work for her. She already had a blog, but was using WordPress.com which has certain limitations. Having reached the limit of what she could do with this, she began to realize that having a WordPress blog set up under her own domain would allow her to have a custom theme, put banner ads on the site, and get access to code if she needed to.
Tracy had a beautiful header image that I used as a starting point for her custom theme. Tracy’s blog provides inspiration, thought provoking questions and most of her blog posts get some great comments posted to theme. No matter your belief, religion or opinions, I think everyone can gain by taking a look at her blog. Keep up the great work Tracy! http://womenencouraged.com
