After five years of my old design, I am in the process of redesign my website and Digital Teardrops logo. Since I moved from Tennessee and left my videography and most of my web design clients behind, I have taken the opportunity to rethink my business goals.

I love to work with people in helping them preserve their family history and memories, but I am going to change my number one focus to work more with business owners. I will teach them how to use the internet to market their products and services more cost-effectively. I have been a business owner in various businesses since 1988, so I have a good understanding of what businesses owners need and want. I have a lot of experience with video and I enjoy putting together videos for the web.

I may not post to my blog as often as I would like, but that only means that I am keeping busy!

The change-over is going to be a long-term project because I have so many other projects going on, but will be well worth the effort when I am finished.

Let me know what you think!

My daughter Annika has turned 15 and is ready to get her driving permit. Minnesota does things differently than they do in Tennessee. Here the students have to have classroom lessons before they even get their permits. Parents also have to pay for the classes and behind-the-wheel here–it’s not part of the school curriculum. Yikes–it’s not cheap either!

I called around to the different schools and found the Wreck-Less Driving Academy in Becker. I had seen their sign down from Big Lake High School. I talked to the instructor, Ed Rost, and was very impressed with his program and credentials. I asked him if he had a website and he said no, he was looking for a designer.

Voila! I got my first local website job. I am very excited to work with Ed and help him increase his business. I have his site structure set up and I am awaiting content from him to complete the site.

Take a look: Wreckless Driving Academy
