Inspiration in all Places
Are you looking for some inspiration for a product, graphic or even in your everyday life? 
ColourLovers.com is a great web site to check out. I’ve been browsing this site for quite awhile now. A great web design idea is often spurred by an amazing color palette! Whether its at ColourLovers or just seeing a great palette on a favorite shirt, my kids’ artwork or something completely random! When I used to be in the baby carrier business I often talked to other vendors about inspiration for patterns used. We’d joke about walking through the store and oohing over a print we saw on a shirt because it would have made a perfect sling! Or seeing the color combination in a pile of socks that really stuck out! Now I have trained myself to see those colors everywhere and picture how they can be used in web and graphic designs.
Web Savvy Mama even has a Color Lover Profile as well! http://www.colourlovers.com/lover/WebSavvyMama
Come see some of my favorite color combinations!

Its winter break for kids all over, including my 3 children who range from 4 years to 8 years old. My 4 year old and 8 year old are both girls, they’ve decided to immerse themselves in “My Little Pony” world and bop out to a High School Musical 2 CD. My 6 year old is not having any of that. As many know, my son has Autism. He loves to play with legos and building toys, but he wants someone to model his play for him so he knows what to do and how to play. Unfortunately for him, mommy still has to work over winter break and with the girls in their own world he’s pretty bummed. So today he is helping me in the office as my new office assistant. While he’s too young to help me code, I have him out doing “target market analysis”. Yeah, he’s playing Noggin.

(0) commentsNew Year Resolutions!
What is your New Year Resolution for your business? Haven’t come up with one yet? Take a look at my blog on Refreshing Your Web Site for the New Year for some ideas!
What are mine? Hmm, tough question! Along with making sure my website stays up to date my main goal is to blog more. I want to add more tutorials, redo my WordPress template tutorials and just keep posting more helpful information in general. I know I’ve been slacking in this area lately!
Do you have a topic you want to see covered? Email me with your idea! If I pick yours I’ll give a shout out and post a link to your website as well!
Although, I am going to admit… I have the iPhone on my wish list for the new year as well. I finally got to see one in person and it puts my Blackberry to shame! lol

(0) commentsNew Package Matrix
I’ve gone ahead and revamped my packages page to add more detailed lists of available packages. Of course, these are still only templates for selecting packages and web design services, all clients will continue to get customized service. The packages can be edited to include more or less than needed depending on your specific project.
What you’ll find is a nice table of packages and services with the options for each in an easier to read format. No more reading through a paragraph trying to figure out which is the best option for you. Because blog design has become so popular among my clients lately I’ve added that to my list of packages as well. If you have any questions about any of the packages or service please feel free to contact me at any time!

(0) commentsWeb Savvy Move Complete!
My emails started bouncing a TON of emails from clients and many of MY emails were not making it out either. My previous host started putting filters on their email servers that prevented embedded links from being received via email to their hosting subscribers. It was very hit and miss, but causing lots of issues for myself and web design clients.
Over the weekend and then through the beginning of the week I worked feverishly to move Web Savvy Mama to a new host. A HUGE thank you goes out to Michelle at Watersweb Hosting and her Tech Team who stayed up late and helped me get everything sorted out. An extra thank you to Michelle who then moved all my database content over manually when the traditional migration methods wouldn’t work. She’s a lifesaver and I couldn’t ask for better customer support from a hosting company!
So, Web Savvy Mama has a new home and my email should be working again! At least the Web Savvy Mama email. If you have been contacting me previously through my Baby Space email, please forget that one, its still attached to and not working well at all at the moment. You can find additional contact information on my contact page.
I appreciate all the patience during this move and hopefully 2008 will be a much smoother year on our new host!
