Lance Alvis Design was our first Nashville client! He not only needed a new logo, but a new focus. He wanted to go a different direction in his business, but was having trouble being specific. We spent some time coaching him on his brand, and then realized he wanted to focus more solely on design. Once we determined that, the logo and business cards flowed smoothly. He had created his own website, but we gave him the digital tools and guided him on fonts, colors and layout.
We've been using Siteground Web Hosting since 2007, and have been thrilled with their product, pricing, and customer service. We always use them for the websites we design, and encourage everyone we know to use them as well. Bonus: they NEVER use scantily-clad women jumping on trampolines to sell their product, which can't be said of certain other hosting providers.
Square credit card processing (to swipe from your phone) is one of the great inventions of the past decade. The fees are low, it couldn't be easier or more convenient to use, and the sales information and metrics they provide are really helpful. They also provide an online shop for you to sell your products, which is very easy to use. Follow this link and when you open an account, you can even process some transactions for free!
Creative Market is an amazing community that sells stock photography, illustrations, web themes, fonts, and other design tools. Membership is free and item prices are super-reasonable. Our shop is here, but there is so much more! If you are a designer (or even if you just need stock photography occasionally) -- Creative Market is an incredible resource.
