Farewell 2009

It's that time of the year I guess because all month I keep catching myself reflecting on everything that's happened in 2009, the good, bad and everything I've experienced and learned. Although I've definitely had some ups and downs, I really feel I've got a good list of things to be thankful for. And since I'm a list-making type of girl, you must know what I've been thinking about and working on a lot lately. Goals, resolutions, you get the idea.

With that said, the latest post on my new, favorite blog, White Hot Truth by Danielle LaPorte kind of stopped me in my tracks - "What's on your Stop Doing List?" I've been so obsessed with setting new goals, making new internal promises of what I'm going to try harder with, do more of and become better at, I hadn't even though of sorting through the things that really didn't and don't work for me and probably even get in my way. So now, I have more lists to make, and Danielle LaPorte is on my "Favorites of 2009" for sure.

To get to the main reason for this post though, thinking about all I'm so thankful for = the awesome clients I got to make web sites for. Please accept my huge and heart felt THANK YOU to everyone I had the pleasure to work with in 2009. I really feel lucky to have had the opportunity to work for such great people. I was constantly inspired by your drive, your ideas, your kindness and your creativity. You made work not feel like work and made me want to be better and do more!


Now for the business part - A few Announcements for the New Year.
No big changes but a few items I wanted to post:

Payment Plans
I love being able to help people with their business or projects, especially new ones starting out and am happy to work with you to reach your goals so I decided to be formal about it. Payment Plans will be available in 2010 for larger projects, redesigns or for anyone who requests them. I'll even send a formal payment plan form where you can tell me how much on which day of the month. Don't need a plan, that's ok too, payment is due in full within 30 days of receiving your invoice for updates and maintenance, etc.

Get free work just for telling a friend about me!
Need updates or work done on your site? I'll do it for free when you send a new client my way!
Get 4 hours of free work for anyone you refer who becomes a new customer. Just have them give me your name when they call or email, if I ended up building them a site, doing a redesign or any paying work on their site, you're all set.

Hope everyone has a wonderful Holiday Season; enjoy the people around you, eat too many cookies, make your lists for the New Year. Wishing you peace and happiness!
