Bella Web Design Customer Testimonial Caught On Flip Video!

Pam Adams, from Constant Contact (a Bella Web Design business partner) and Kimberly Douglas from FireFly Facilitation (a Bella Web Design client) both attended the National Speakers Association Speakers Academy event this weekend and happened to bump into each other. Pam had her trusty Flip Video Camera on hand and was able to tape a great testimonial Kimberly gave about both Bella Web Design and Constant Contact. Kimberly talks about the custom designed Constant Contact template our company designed for her on the tape. Take a look:

This is yet another great way to add videos quickly and easily to your website. All Pam did was send me the raw file, I uploaded it to our YouTube Channel, and posted the code on this blog and on our site. I think I'll go pick up my new video camera today so I can capture more of these great customer testimonials!

Two Great Websites Launched Today Plus a BONUS MUSIC VIDEO!

Today we launched two very different sites:

1. www.southernpatio.com--This is a redesigned site based on a design their in-house designer, Nicki Shroeder created. The company Southern Patio specializes in outdoor furniture and accessories.The site they had was hard to navigate and quite dysfunctional. We helped Nicki bring her designs to life and added a chat capability from www.meebo.com which allows her customer service team to immediately answer browsing visitors questions.

1. www.waitingforbetsy.com--Anyone who knows us knows that Daniel Nahmod is one of our favorite music artists hands down! When he hired us to help him with his new band "Waiting for Betsy" we were honored to take on the job of creating a fun and light web presence for him using one of our Simply Bella pre-designed sites. The song/video "Jessica Alba" is simply genius and fun. My kids couldn't stop giggling watching him perform and can't stop singing it today. Hope you enjoy it too!
