New website for Equestrian Farm: Spring Willows Farm
What better way to start the week than the launch of a new web site.
Introducing Spring Willows Farm. Based in Centralia, Illinois, the farm provides a multitude of equestrian services from horse boarding, riding lessons, horsemanship and stable management lessons.
The design of this site was inspired by a great selection of client photographs which feature prominently throughout and with the high class level of facilities they provide it was important that the web site reflect this. Visit the site or connect with them via Twitter or Facebook.
Here is what owner Christine Hull had to say
“Zoe,
Thanks you so very much for the wonderful job you did on the website. Working with you was a pleasure and I’m really impressed with the outstanding workmanship on our project. Great job!”
Happy client= Happy web designer!

Creativity and the Weather
I may be a little weird … weather affects my level of creativity.
The Chicago weather this morning was a toasty 60 deg, still and rather gray. Then the sky began to bruise and a small but sweet thunder storm rolled in. I couldn’t be happier, the more dynamic the weather the more creative I become. Give me rainy, windy, snowy or stormy days and what ever project I am working on … website, logo, brochure, branding, gets an extra boost. Looking forward to what the Windy City can inspire!
Anyone else influenced by the weather like this?
p.s I had an incredibly creative week here, the tree featured in this post unfortunately didn’t survive the lightening strike and withered and died over the summer. I had it removed last week.

Blushing: The Chicago web designer
It is my objective to provide exceptional service for my clients and getting a recommendation like the one below on Linked In makes my face break out into a wide grin … and maybe even blush a little!
“Zoe has that rare combination of broad vision and tactical expertise, especially when it comes to careful listening. She is able to form the concept into a distinctive message, and then follows through with outstanding execution. Really knows her business. Zoe is as much an astute advisor as service provider.”
Top qualities: Great Results, Expert, Good Value
I worked with Peter earlier this year on a web and branding project for his Chicago based headhunting company.
Thanks Peter, for taking the time to write such a flattering recommendation.

Free Vector Snowflakes
When I announced I was relocating to Chicago the most common reaction I got was: Chicago=snow and bitter cold.
Now this Chicago web designer is embracing the up coming snowy season with a free set of contemporary vector snowflakes.

Chicago web designer jargon square
Every profession has its own lingo and jargon and web design is far from exempt. If you are in the market for a new web site the last thing you want is to be bombarded with is a lot of techno babble. It’s more than likely you don’t care about RSS, XML, CMS, meta tags, optimizing, browser compatibility, hosting… that’s why you are hiring a professional web designer, right? The important thing is you hire somewhere who understand and speaks the “language”.
