We have been busy like little elves working on lots of new clients sites. It seems a lot of clients typically try and get a redesign or new site completed before the new year as a tax deduction. We don’t complain about this of course.

Luckily, we are happy to announce one of the newest elves ….uh….I mean team members to Rachaelbutts.com, Jamie Brewer. Jamie is a WordPress web designer and developer from Kansas City, Mo with over 7 years of experience. His sharp attention to detail, ability to work under deadlines, and experience in the corporate world make him a perfect fit for us. Jamie also skateboards, so how could we say not to that?

We are excited to have Jamie on our team. He has been working hard on a large site we are about to launch, so look for details on that coming soon!

Because of Jamie’s awesomeness , I was able to finally start the redesign process of our site here at Rachaelbutts.com. I actually started on it this past April. You can read here how we created the illustrations for the site.

We are planning to launch early 2012, and are excited to finally be off of the Thesis framework which will hopefully improve our SEO, and well, bragging rights. This is long overdue, but what can I say? It isn’t a bad thing to be so busy, cobbler’s children, uh, I forgot the third excuse.

So, without further adieu the unveiling of the homepage of the new Rachaelbutts.com website.

P.s. We do listen to feedback and will take it into consideration as we move to the development phase.

  Social Media for SEO can sometimes become overwhelming. Trust me I know. Update status here, tagged photo there, a new Farmville animal gathered, and eventually you throw your hands up in defeat because there is no way you can keep up.That is why I set the whole thing on autopilot by setting my RSS feed to automatically post to Twitter and Facebook, and in doing that it leaves me a wonderful super fantastic link to my post!
