We’ve Got a Fresh New Look!

by Janet

One of the great things about being a web designer is the ongoing opportunity to learn about new trends, tools and features as I work on various client projects.

Change is in the Air!

by Janet

Change is all around us – you don’t have to look very hard to notice that the leaves are changing color and dropping to the ground, days are getting shorter, and people have switched from shorts and T-shirts to jackets and long pants. (I realize this may not be the case where you live, but please indulge me…) And this fall, lots of changes are happening right within the organizing industry!
