In the works for JMA Design Studio

Right now I'm working on a new website layout for my design studio. This time I'm getting away from the Flash based website, which I've always made in the past. This time I'm making it more like a blog style website with a Web 2.0 feel. I figured its best to go with this type of feel for my audience. I'm trying to cater to more small business owners who are technically inclined and have a good understanding of what it means to have a web presence. I also want to target non-profit organizations and churches because of their good will towards others. I'm going through some design options and trying to figure out the best one for myself.

I'm also working on new business cards. I hope to have them printed on recycled material, so I can start making my design studio more environmentally green. There are so many more ways in which JMA will be going green, which I will blog about in a different post.

Once the business cards are finalized I will be putting together a big self-promotion package to better market myself as well. This will include new polo type shirts and other clothing with my logo on it, signage, direct mail advertising, etc. This is something I needed to do in the first place when I was starting my studio, but really didn't have enough dough for it.

I will continue to network with various businesses like I have been, I will be attending the local tweetup, and new this month I will be attending a day long Business Break-out session for designers like myself.

As you can see I have huge plans like I always do to expand my business. You can always follow me via Twitter, where you will find the latest updates about what I'm doing and you check in on me to see if I'm following through with what I wrote about with this entry.
