Dramatic Design has changed and evolved during its existence. After all, change is what website development and the Internet is all about, right? The new design of this site and moving it from a static HTML site to an interactive Web 2.0 WordPress site is one of these important changes. As a developer, I have seen the need to go this direction for many reasons, not the least of them being that WordPress is very user-friendly and allows my clients to update their website anytime they wish; this was not easily accomplished with regular HTML sites. I can still create static HTML sites, should anyone want one, but I’m not likely to advise one.

I am constantly learning new skills that I can use to serve my clients better. I am currently versed in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, CGI, and PHP.   I am a member of the Mom Masterminds networking community, the SSWT Elite group, and will be attending the national NAMS Workshop in January.  All of these are opportunities to learn from those who have more experience than myself, improve my skills, and help others that are just starting out on the road of entrepreneurship.

The services I offer include:

• Website Design and Development
• Business Branding
• Logo Design
• Print Design
• Printing Services
• Marketing Consultation
• One-on-One Coaching

In my offline marketing efforts, I am also a member of the Business Referral Group in Caledonia.  We meet every Wednesday at 7:30 am at the Holy Family Catholic Church and we are always open to visitors.  If you have a local business, we’d love to have you join us!  I’ve gotten several jobs through the referrals of this group and it’s always beneficial time spent.  I am also a member of the Grand Rapids Small Business Owners group through meetup.com.

I have also been using Social Media and creative outlets for marketing myself.  You can often find me on Facebook, Linked In, or Twitter.  I also advertise on sales outlets, such as Ebay and Craig’s List.  Business is everywhere–and while I love working with local businesses, I have opened myself up to work with the global audience, which I also love.

During the evolution of Dramatic Design, I have also become a professional blogger, graphic designer, email correspondent, and virtual assistant.  I also do Marketing Consultation for small business owners who are great at their niche, but don’t necessarily know how to reach their target audience.

Currently, I am doing an internship as an Assistant Producer for the the DivaTalkRadio Internet radio show.  It airs at 2:00 pm (EST) each Wednesday and I invite you to join us online or by calling in, as it is a call-in show.  I even had a chance to direct a play this spring at Kuyper College (not web-related, but definitely “dramatic”!).

So, how can I help your small business?
