Revamping the ol' site

So every year I revamp my website.  I've been pretty busy with work and hadn't had a chance to keep updating my own site and social media.  So I've taken it down to add all my new work and change the look.  So I'm going to use this forum for my old site sans the links in case it's needed.  Best I can do for now :O)

The thing about websites...

I'm currently working on a few projects and the thing is - waiting for content always holds up the design!
Note to self:  Be sure to get the content from the client honed down before ya start.....seriously good advise for both my client and I!

Namaste!

Happy 2016!

and the winner is.....

Me!

Went to a really great conference the other day hosted by ROGERS TALKs and it was all about small biz'ness's.  They were giving out prizes and one was at the end of the conference for the best twitter feeds during the presentations.
"And the pair of signature red converse running shoes (that was the schtick that all the presenters were wearing) goes to....PETRA R!"  lol

They look good!

Having a wee design business is hard

When you get into working from home on your own little design business, I swear you have to become a jill-of-all trades!  And that gets annoying at times!  I have to be and do everything and well SEO! That's so time consuming!  I have a few business partners I can utilize but I get too independent sometimes and their timelines don't always match to mine!  So do I carry on?  Yes.  Being creative is fun still but its time to find new people to work with so that growth and fun times are tenfold.
It's been a great summer and I've designed a few sites! Some I've had input in - others have been all the clients idea!  When you're creating people's visions,  you have to find the courage inside just to zip the lips and give 'em what they ask for!
It's been a slice.
I'm currently working on this...

I've done these....

Namaste!

A little bit about what I'm working on.....

One can never re-use enough the expression "I've been busy!"...but I have.

I've created a few new websites and am in the process of finishing another (if they can get their stuff together with their content!) and mocking up a new design.  It's really not enough but with kayaking, cycling, beach picnics, sailing, pet sitting and just the summer laziness - it's enough.

Worry free pet care

It all started years ago when a friend asked me to sit for her cats......then a friend of her friend called and before you know it - "good petcare word" is out and I've found myself in the awesome company of not only new lovely people but I now have an array of dear pet friends that I take care of on a regular basis! Works for me! Sometimes I get a request for references so I've started gathering a few here along with pictures of some of the "pets" I take care of. It's a pleasure to be of service.
