Refreshing your site for the new year.

Why and How
There are several reasons why you would want to make sure your site is fresh and up to date.

The obvious one would be to make sure all your content is current. You’ll want to take some time and comb through your pages looking for broken links and outdated content. There’s nothing worse than following a dead link or trying to contact with an email address that is no longer in use.

Another reason is to keep your visitors interested. You don’t want your visitors to think you never update your site and its neglected, this just screams unprofessional. This also gives the impression that you don’t have time for your business.. so why should they give their time to you? The truth may be that you are so busy making time for customer service that you simply didn’t have time to devote to your website. So you don’t want to give the wrong impression. Updating your content periodically will let your visitors see the work you put into your business and also have them reading your site again to see what else they can learn!

New hours of service

A quick note about the new hours of service at Web Savvy Mama. Shown on the contact page.

As most of you know I’m a work at home mom, so this means I often have kids underfoot. I’ve revamped my hours of “in-office” time to reflect a realistic schedule. This also allows me to have time to get the kids off to school and make early Dr apts. Yay, the fun stuff of parenthood! On Fridays I work at the school for a few hours so I am not available in the morning.

If you have a need to talk to me on the phone outside of my business hours please feel free to email me with this request as I am pretty flexible. I want to make sure your questions are answered and I know that daytime hours can be hectic for some! Feel free to email me at any time though. I can not give quote requests over the phone, you will have to fill out the quote request form for that.

**If you are a current client and have a technical emergency during off-hours please DO call and leave a message as well as email me. **

Track Your Projects!

Now Web Savvy Mama clients can track their web design project details online!

You can login here: http://websavvymama.com/orders.php to view your project status, project details, and make sure your contact information is up to date. If I’m having a hard time getting a hold of you I’ll note that as well, so you’ll never be left wondering if our communications are getting through!

“How do I get an Order Number?” When you signed up for Web Savvy Mama services you were emailed a confirmation for that order. In that email an order number is provided. If you don’t have that email anymore or for some reason it never arrived (check your spam folder) then go to “forgot my order number” and it will send you the last order number associated with your email address.

“I have more than one order, what do I do?” If you purchased a revision or update to your original order you will have 2 order numbers. This means you will have to check each individually. I will try to make note of the addition in your original order to remind you of this.

If you have a questions about your project status or want to revise your contact information please feel free to contact me with these updates. On the project status page you also will see a note and quick links on the right side to help you through the process.

Not a Web Savvy Mama Client (yet) and want to check this feature out? Go to the Project Tracking page and login using the test information displayed there. You will then get to see a sample project progress page and an example.

Gossip Blog readers get a peek at WSM illustration

Are you a Celebrity Gossip Blog reader? If so, you may have seen some of my work pop up on one yesterday. An illustration I did of Perez Hilton has found its way into the rotating header on his blog PerezHilton.com. With an outfit like that, how could I pass up the opportunity to illustrate it? Sometimes I think I have too much fun drawing, you think?

So there you have it, Web Savvy Mama is turning up everywhere!
