Web Design

 

You know you need a website for your business but you're not sure where to turn for guidance. Everyone has access to a computer, tablet or phone.  Will your customers be able to find you?

Here are a few more questions that you might want to ask yourself.  Will you be able to find someone who understands what you need and better still will you be able to understand the technical questions that they ask you?  Someone who speaks your language and understands that perhaps this is not your strength?  Maybe you just need someone to create the site for you, someone who will then teach you step-by-step how to update it yourself. 

 

Marianne can do that for you.  Why?  Because she knows what it feels like to  be unsure about where to turn and she wants to be able to help you.:

 

"I decided to learn web design when I was one of the owners of Horizon Aviation.  We were a start up company and didn't have the money to hire someone so I taught myself.  Since then I have designed websites for myself and for many solopreneur women. 

 

Previoulsy someone had to have special software to create their website which had a tough learning curve.  Now there are online programs that are simple for most people to learn.  Most solopreneur women prefer to have their site designed for them so that they might use their time more productively in growing their business.  Going forward, some choose to have their site updated and maintatined for them while others with simple instruction do so for themselves.

 

Here are a few of the websites that Marianne designed and maintains.  Check the links provided with each business to see the website in detail.

Kahlua Beach Club

Kahlua Beach Club is a time share resort in Ft. Myers Beach, Florida. They needed a website that showed the incredible beauty of the resort for potential renters while providing a one stop location for the owners to communicate and share their adventures with each other.

 

This very large website does both.  The variety of photos and the 360 degree video helped visitors get a glimpse of the incredible seaside paradise they will experience when they visit.

 

Owners have their own area where they can share news about the resort, the board of directors, and upcoming units for sale.  There is also a page for each of the 52 time share weeks for owners to share pictures of their exciting vacations.

Finances for New Couples website

Finances for New Couples

Finances for New Couples is one of my own websites, created to share the financial literacy that I learned and felt that new couples needed to start their relationships.  It's an example of a one page site although there are a couple of hidden ones for items that don't need to be seen but need to be part of any website.

Since websites are view internationally, they must adhere to rules from countries other than the US even if that's where they are primarily accessed.  Currently that includes these pages:  Disclaimer, Terms and conditions and Privacy Policy which you will also see at the bottom of this page.

Newly updated, this program makes a great engagement or wedding gift!
