After enjoying many years of a gorgeous web design on my signature site at MarSmith.com, it was time to upgrade this baby to a trendy new blogsite. Huge kudos to the talents of Shama Hyder and her team at AfterTheLaunch.com!

Hiring an excellent service provider who delivers the exact result you want (or even exceeds your expectations), on time and at a reasonable rate, can be quite a feat. Would you agree?

Well, I’m delighted to share that my experience with Shama Hyder’s company, After The Launch, was absolutely STELLAR!!

Earlier this year, I was undergoing a shift in my branding and my main website needed a good overhaul. I tried a few ideas with other design and marketing providers but wasn’t satisfied. Then, I met Shama on Twitter. From the getgo Shama listened intently to what it was I wanted to create. She asked intelligent questions. I described in detail the look, feel, colors and features I wanted on my blogsite.

Much to my delight, I found Shama took direction extremely well, her team produces the highest quality work, she has great attention to detail, customer service, follow through, follow up and is just the sweetest person I’ve ever hired, frankly!

Shama created two mockups for my blogsite and I was simply stunned. I’m over the moon with Shama’s services and recommend her wholeheartedly.

Shama’s company specializes in (1) acting as a virtual marketing department for small to medium sized companies and (2) training small business owners and independent professionals how to excel in marketing.

On my new and improved MariSmith.com I’ll be writing posts specifically about professional relationships and relationship marketing. For posts about Facebook, see my WhyFacebook blog. (For posts about my completely mobile lifestyle traveling the US in a motorhome with my hubby, see this blog BeFreeGoMobile).

Also, take a sneak peek at all my upcoming events - I’d love to meet you at any of these events!!

Cheers,

Mari
