I had the joy of creating the blog for Bruce Hall a personal development coach.  The goal of the project was to have a blog that matching the look and feel of his main website and provide a way for Bruce to share his vast expertise with his writing.  As you can tell, his articles are extremely thoughtful and worth reading.  The blog was built on a Wordpress platform to provide a strong foundation and robust platform from which to build and expand his blogging efforts.

I recently had the privilege of migrating Barbara K. Folts’ existing website to a Wordpress Platform for its content management capabilities.  The goal of the project was to make it easier for Barbara to update her site, integrate more with social media, and capitalize on email marketing and video.  To accomplish these objectives I added a few new elements to the site design, migrated the existing site content from a static website to Wordpress, incorporated her existing blog content to the new site, added her videos to the new site, and implemented Aweber for email marketing.  The result is a clean, professional site built on a strong foundation on which to build future content and marketing efforts.

Here’s what Barbara had to say about working with me:

Finding someone to help you with setting up a web site is possible, but finding someone with whom you can really communicate your needs is the real challenge.  Paula not only has the skills to accomplish the task, she also is able to discuss the options in language that the lay person can understand.  In addition to these qualities, I was pleased that she responded promptly to my concerns.  As well as dealing with my most immediate goal of the web site, Paula is adept at creating additional social media.  She is a person with many talents.  – Barbara K.
