Trying to figure out this whole web thing can be overwhelming. There are so many websites, so many options, so much to read. Learning about web design, graphics, optimization and promotion takes a lot of effort and time - time collectors would rather spend buying and selling antiques and collectibles.

Let me help. It's what I do.

I'm online everyday, reading all I can about Internet Marketing, design and promotion. I've been at this web game for 10 years now, and I've managed to learn a few things, which I am happy to share with you.

Probably the most important lesson I have learned ( which has remained consistent throughout my years online) is that you must "Give to receive." So that's what I do. My goal is not to develop your website for you, but provide you with the information you need to do the work yourself. However... if you need help deciding what to include on your site, want some assistance in creatively presenting your ideas or have any questions about Internet marketing, send me an email.
"We can't go around measuring our goodness
by what we don't do, by what we deny ourselves,
by what we resist and who we exclude.

We've got to measure our goodness by what we embrace,
by what we create and who we include."

How long do you wait to respond to your email?

One of my favorite things to do is to write back to people immediately, minutes after I read their message. It surprises (and pleases) most people quite a bit. Now I can't do it with every email I receive - sometimes I'm away from my office, sometimes I'm too busy and sometimes I just procrastinate.

Realistically, I try and respond to all my email within a day, or at least by the next morning. I always try and put myself in the sender's place. Although their email may not be a high priority to me, since they took the time to click on my email link and send me a message, it is obviously important to them.
