Great Site: Design Newz

I was playing around on my new "obsession" Twitter the other day and did a search for other various design companies that may be utilizing Twitter to promote their business or provide tips, tricks and such.

I discovered Design Newz' Twitter and happily decided to follow after looking at their posts.  They appear to be automated but that does not make them ANY less interesting or handy! And yes I could be entirely wrong, it is after all hand-picked info. Their claim to fame is hand picked tutorials, tips and more for those in graphic and web design.

I'm always trying to learn new things, especially in the area of graphic design.  I've never been a full fledge graphic designer, more of a graphic manipulator but with sites such as this one, I'm taking more steps towards being a full fledged graphic artist/designer. 

So stop by and check out Design Newz, either on their Twitter for those obsessed like me or visit their blog/website directly at: http://www.design-newz.com

New Service: Build Your Own Package

New web design clients often come to me with specific needs and wants for their website. In these cases, one of my pre-set website packages or ecommerce packages will not fit their needs.

In my continued effort to provide all options to my clients, I have built a custom order form to pick and choose the items needed for your website, creating your own custom designed web package. Choose the specific options you need and we will do the rest!

Check out all of the options now at Build Your Own Design Package.
