Services

What do you do?

I currently have slots open to take clients for the following services:

Content Services (Weekly, bi-weekly, monthly)

• Make regular content updates to your website
• Schedule automatic publishing of blog entries and coordinating  Twitter/Facebook updates
• Edit and/or proofread your content to make sure there are no mistakes to detract from your message
• Resize and upload images, video, and podcasts (audio files)

• Create publishing and networking strategies to keep your content up-to-date and bring your readers back for more
• Product and portrait photography for your website
• Develop, record, edit, and publish podcasts and videos
• Explain how to register a domain and acquire hosting if you don’t have it already.

How do site updates work?

Throughout the week, you add your desired changes to a shared document, and I set aside a block of time (usually two to four hours) each week to publish your changes to your website. This can include changes to existing text, publishing new text, calendar changes, resizing and uploading media, and coordinating updates to social networks like Twitter and Facebook.

You’ll prioritize tasks so I know what work is the most urgent at any given time, and I do as much as I can get done in our allotted time each week.

What technology do you work with?

I work at home on a PC with full MS Office and Adobe suites. I can update with full markup (XHTML, HTML5, CSS2). I am a WordPress guru, and am comfortable working with most other blogging platforms, too.

I don’t have a website, or the one I have is ancient and clunky. Can you design/create a website for me?

Maybe. It depends on what kind of site you’re looking for. Let’s talk, and if I can’t do it, I can point you to a friendly publishing system or can point you to someone who can!

Let’s meet and talk about what you need. Call me at 206.354.6121 or use the contact form to get in touch.
