Hello all,

I need to take it easy and rest for a couple of days. I came down with a nasty case of mastitis and basically feel like I’ve been run over by a truck, in addition to the other wonderful symptoms associated with this. I’m on antibiotic and will hopefully start feeling better by tomorrow but it’s been hard to work much as my body aches on top of my already hurting wrists make it hard for me to do computer work.

Thanks…
Danielle

I have had so many people over the last few years inquire about if I do search engine optimization (SEO) and have always had to say no or refer them elsewhere. I am now proud to announce that we have teamed up with Jay of iClickSolutions who is Google and Yahoo certified to provide our clients with these very valuable services at a huge discount!

I work with so many clients who are starting new stores and so many don’t know about SEO or internet marketing and it’s such a key part of an online business’ success. Starting a website is just the beginning…how will people find your site once you have it online? They won’t unless you make an effort in these areas. If you’re serious about your business succeeding, then you must know about SEO and online advertising and marketing.

We have several services and packages now available on our site here: Search Engine Optimization and Internet Marketing Services

And if your business needs don’t fit in one of the packages, please contact me and we’ll work out a custom package.

We re-vamped the Pre-made Website Template options and instead of offering just a few packages to choose from, you can now customize the pre-made template to include anything you need and nothing you don’t need. You can add a shopping cart, hosting, banners, business cards, favicon, product data entry, as many pages as you need and more in one easy place.

We also updated our Custom OOAK Template product – you can choose your own package as described above and we have considerably LOWERED the price. So if you have your own graphics or design OR you want to choose from the graphics providers listed on that page, you can create your own package and have a custom website design for less money and less time than our e-commerce packages!

We weren’t around much this weekend due to Mother’s Day and a party we threw for our now 1 and 3 year old daughters! It was very fun and tiring at the same time but now we’re back to work on projects. Things are moving along…Andrea is doing more work and helping out greatly and I have started on the next couple of projects from the waiting list so things are moving along.

I’ve had some of my emails not make it to recipients last week, I think they are getting marked as spam again so if you are waiting on something from me, feel free to email again. I’m also working on finishing up a project management system where you can log in and see the status of projects at any time. I’m hoping this helps out with the amount of emails we receive as we would be able to communicate and check progress through this new system. Stay tuned…

I would like to announce that we have a new person on board helping with projects, website maintenance, support and anything else she wants to take on.

Andrea has been helping out a little here and there for a while but will now be helping out in a much larger capacity. She is a member of the support forum here (I believe her username is “Andrea”) and has already helped with several shopping cart questions. So far she is scheduled to be doing website maintenance, product data entry and shopping cart support!

You can read a little bit about her on the “About Our Team” page here: http://www.redpeachdesigns.com/pages/about-us.htm

After a horrible last two months, we’re finally moved in to our new house and I’m back to work. Still getting settled in and I don’t have a printer hooked up yet but overall I’m “back in business”.

Couple of things…

I am still working on the AlohaCart upgrade – I found a bug and am getting that fixed by the developer and then will FINALLY be releasing it. I know many of you are anxiously awaiting this upgrade and I am really sorry for the delay.

We did have problems getting internet access at the new house and so things did get a little backed up more than I expected during our move, but I’m working a lot and getting back on top of things so if you haven’t heard back from me about something in the next day or so, feel free to shoot me another email just in case I didn’t get it. My spam box worked overtime during this last week since I wasn’t able to clean in out regularly and I may have missed something.

I’ll post another update in a couple of days as things return to normal with info on our new work schedule.

Thanks!
Danielle

I was the sickest I have ever been in my life. I’m still feeling pretty bad but I am at least able to get out of bed and it doesn’t hurt to keep my eyes open anymore! I had/have bronchitis then I got sinusitis on top of it. The antibiotics are finally kicking in for the sinusitis so I no longer have blinding pain in my face and head, more of a dull ache now. Talk about miserable!! I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy!

Anyway, unfortunately I was able to answer only two, yes two, emails over the entire last three days but find myself able to work a little bit today. I just wanted to give an update. Every other time I’ve been sick, I was at least able to put up a notice on my site but I couldn’t even do that this time.
