After receiving a 60-day domain name renewal for a website I had no idea I still owned, I decided to check out my “control center” to see what other surprises might await. Here is what I found:
- Freshyields.com - of course.
- One website I registered for a friend, and is still in use, although not by my friend. Hmm, maybe I should bill the new owner?
- One concept project I had years ago, but was lucky enough to be able to reuse the design for a great cause, and was even able to reuse the rock-solid content management system behind it.
- An ecommerce experiment that my wife and I tried, which flamed out.
- One blogsite about building your own sports bar in your basement that I haven’t touched in a while.
- Three websites dedicated to a a client that I haven’t had any work from in over a year.
What’s in your portfolio?
Congrats are in order for two FreshYields clients, Su Casa and The Corduroy Button. Both were selected Best of Baltimore by the City Paper. Both stores also won the reader’s poll for their respective categories. Su Casa won for “Best Place to Buy New Furniture“, while The Corduroy Button was tops for “Best Children’s Clothing Store”.
…launched a couple of months ago, with no fanfare from us. That’s what happens when the blog is down.
Gaga for Lulu is an upscale children’s boutique. Fresh Yields performed all aspects of the site build, from identity design to ecommerce backend. We will be embarking on a comprehensive Search Engine Marketing and Optimization plan in the coming months.
In this hectic world of sales and marketing to prospective clients, it feels good to produce something for an organization that is out there making a difference in the lives of children from all over the world. Mending Kids International is one of such organizations. Many remember the story of the Guatemalan conjoined twins who were separated at U.C.L.A. back in 2002 with the help of funding from Mel Gibson. I have had the chance to meet these wonderful little girls on a visit to California, and their smiling faces move everyone around them.
There are many more stories of children in need, and Mending Kids International is helping by bringing donated medical care to needy children worldwide. We are happy to announce that their new website has officially launched today.
