Orlando Solar Bears New Logo
Shades is back in O-Town
Everyone’s favorite “Solar Bear” is back in Orlando on the new ECHL Hockey League Orlando Solar Bears logo. Brighter, bolder, and more modern, the new logo pays homage to Shades of old and should bring back a lot of memories to fans of the old Solar Bears.
I like it, but what do you think?

Hungry (or thirsty) for a new web site design?
Gator Vending is a family-owned-and-operated vending business serving Central Florida. For years they relied on a homemade website designed in Microsoft Publisher. While serving a purpose, the site needed a major overhaul with a new look, added functionality, including a contact us form, and the ability to update it regularly.
Never miss an opportunity
Tasked with the update, I created a simple site for Gator Vending with all the features they asked for and more. Now, with the ability to track traffic to the site, the company will know what grabs the interests of their clients and what they pass over. With the site optimized for search engines they are sure to have more and more traffic to track. And with the ability of anyone to fill out a simple form to contact Gator Vending, they should never miss another opportunity to gain a new customer.
The new site is everything they need, and nothing they don’t. Simplicity, easy of use, and quality rule web design.
Break time
For all your vending needs, visit GatorVending.com and see how easy it is to add a vending service to your office, factory, warehouse, school or other facility. With everything from coffee to water to chips to candy bars to hamburgers to healthy snacks, you’ll never go hungry (or thirsty) again.

News, Advice, Info and Fun for Newlyweds: The Newlywed Guru
A warm welcome to my newest client, TheNewlywedGuru.com. I have been retained by the the site’s creator, P. Michele Talley, to create and edit content, optimize for search engines, manage public relations/events and advertising/marketing of the website for newlywed couples. Thank you for your trust and support, and I look forward to helping make The Newlywed Guru the ultimate source information, news, advice, shopping and entertainment for just-married couples.
Even the most well-matched, truly-in-love couple can get cold feet after the wedding. When the honeymoon is over, and reality sets in, many couples find themselves declaring, “What now?”
Well, The Newlywed Guru can help couples answer that question for themselves. TheNewlyedGuru.com is the number one online resource for newlywed couples to share and receive advice from top experts and fellow couples, young and old. The site offers real information, honest advice and useful tips that couples can use every day to help them negotiate the many wonderful, but, oftentimes, slippery slopes of life as a newly-married couple.
In the United States alone, 4.4 million people marry every year. That’s a lot of couples taking the plunge. Although many are on their second, third or even fourth marriage, most couples are tying the knot for the first time. Anytime a person attempts something new, whether alone or with your new mate, it’s challenging, frightening, overwhelming and often frustrating, but it’s also exhilarating, fascinating, and, hopefully, rewarding.
At TheNewlywedGuru.com, couples can find support for their new chapter in the book of life. Everything from recipes designed for new couples, to how-to videos from experts, to shopping opportunities just for new couples including his and her aprons and “love” kits.
Private cooking classes are offered by The Newlywed Guru herself, book signings, guest appearances, quarterly events, and just about anything else involving couples. There is a handy list of companies ready to assist newlyweds and The Newlywed Guru’s 2012 cruise is just one of the quarterly events that make the site fun and entertaining.

A Creative New Website for A Creative Preschool
I just designed a new website for Discovery Zone II Preschool, an Orlando-based child care and learning center. The new site, DiscoveryZoneIIPreschool.com replaces their older site with a freshened look, more information, and the ability to access event calendars, important information for parents, a virtual tour, and a contact page.
The owners wanted a clean, fun, simple design with an emphasis on photos of the school and children. Photos of the classrooms at the school were no problem, but photos of the children had to be sourced from stock photography. The challenge was to blend the two seamlessly so visitors assume it’s photos of the school’s students on the site. Take a look for yourself and see if I succeeded.
And by the way, if you’re looking for a day care center on the east side of town that emphasizes learning and creativity throughout the day, I highly recommend Discovery Zone II Preschool. The staff is wonderful and the facility is state-of-the-art. I’ve never seen a nicer school.
