			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-307" href="http://www.adavidcreation.com/mobile-friendly-websites/mobile_site-sample/"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-307" title="Mobile_Site sample" src="http://www.adavidcreation.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Mobile_Site-sample-200x300.jpg" alt="Mobile_Site sample" width="200" height="300" /></a>Mobile-friendly websites are the new thing! Most large companies have them already: Starbucks, Best Buy, Amazon and CBS to name a few. Why should painters be left behind? A mobile website can be a great asset in your marketing plan. Think of all the business professionals who have a smartphone: iPhone, Blackberry, Droid etc? Almost every business executive and or owner I meet has one. I&#8217;ve also spoke to a number of business owners who do use their mobile phones to look up service companies, so why not try to reach these guys?</p>
<p>Now, let me give you a brief understanding of what a mobile site can do and what it is NOT. First off, your current websites are not considered &#8220;Mobile-Friendly.&#8221; It has to have certain programming codes to make it mobile-friendly. Apple, so far has made this process relatively simple for designers and programmers to take your existing site and make it mobile. RIM (i.e. Blackberry) has made the job a little more difficult. It takes more time and more codes to get a mobile site up on a Blackberry device. If you don&#8217;t have a mobile site, typically it makes the navigating of your site a little more tedious. Mobile users want fast loading sites with quick information. Therefore a good mobile painters site should have the following: your services, a few photos, where you service and a contact button: email or phone. You don&#8217;t need 4-5 pages.</p>
<p>Until mobile sites become standard for all small service businesses (still years away) you do not have to make your mobile-friendly site perfect. If you create it, you are miles ahead of your competition. Finally, a basic 2-3 page mobile site would probably cost $800-1000. There is an up front cost, but if you are reaching more of your ideal client, it is worth the investment.</p>

<p>We just finished the website of <a target="_blank" title="MB Jessee Painting in San Francisco and East Bay" href="http://mbjessee.com" target="_blank">MB Jessee Painting</a> and are very pleased with the results. It was a privilege working for the owner, Matthew Jessee. He was so easy to deal with all the way through! It says a lot on the way he runs his own business by the way he treated me and my web designer, David Guy. Matt was so professional, yet reasonable. He wanted a new and updated website that would reflect the type of quality he did for his clients. I also was able to read a number of detailed client reports provided to me by Matt and his staff while we were in the design stage of his website. On every page of the report, I read almost the same thing: clients hired MB Jessee because they had excellent customer service and did incredible work. In our redesign of his site, you will see just how good his photo gallery looks and the colors of the site we selected that represent elegance. Also, his testimonials on the site are real and awesome.</p>
<p>Matt Jessee was kind enough to write a testimonial about the work I was able to do for him, and all I can say is, &#8220;I am grateful, Matt. Thank you for the very kind words!&#8221;</p>
<blockquote><p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">Working with David during the complete  reconstruction of my company website has been the best experience I  have ever had with anyone in the world of marketing and design.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">David and his team asked the right  questions, took control, and efficiently put together a site that has  exceeded my best expectations. From concept, content and design they  took charge and implemented my ideas and desires. Busy running my own  business, I asked David to make my initial ideas come to reality with  little legwork on my end.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">The level of communication as the project  progressed could not have been better. David’s use of latest technology  kept me completely up to date at all times.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">The design, overall feel, and content  of the site is awesome. I will continue to work with David on a variety  of projects as my company grows.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">Check out our new site for yourself,  and let me know what you think: <a target="_blank" href="http://mbjessee.com/" target="_blank">mbjessee.com</a></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">Please contact me if you have any feedback,  or would like additional information.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am excited to be in the process of managing and creating 4 new painting websites for professional painting contractors. So far, all but one have decent websites but are in need of quite a few changes. After much discuss, they all decided it was time to start from the beginning. I will be showing the new websites when they are finished. The current companies I will be working for are: MB Jessee Painting out of San Franscisco (Bay Area), Imhoff Painting near St. Paul, Pete the Painter in Chicago and a completely new website for Masterworks Painting near Boston. Each website will be very unique are designed with their ideal clients in mind.</p>
<p>My job is to help facilitate the entire process: Beginning Concepts, Design Assistance, Project Management and then adding my final Creative Touch. The creative touch at the end is my favorite. Once the site is completely done, I like going through it myself and make sure it looks incredible. All of the paint contractors who have contacted me to help them on their marketing and websites really want a high quality look that fits with the type of painting they do! I&#8217;m sure their customers will be impressed with the changes they are making in the weeks to come.</p>
