Mercury Retrograde – August and September 2010
Its that time of the year again when mercury appears to be going backwards in the sky and messes up our communications and slows us down. The period is from August 21st – Sept. 13th. It can be annoying because you just want to move forward and events and situations happen where it forces you to slow down a bit and check the details. Mercury is going backwards in the sign of Virgo, no less. Virgo is ultra picky and checks things twice and even three times!
Mercury retrograde survival guide says this is the best time to REDO and re-evaluate. If you already have an existing project, this is a time to make it better. This time heavily effects people in the communication field like writers, speakers, and you guessed it, web designers.
My personal experience so far is the people who have been contacting me have been thinking about getting their site created for awhile. They may even have designed it in their heads and are now getting a kick in the pants to get started. Other people have been contacting me for updates to existing websites. Basically, this is a great time to RE-DO and make it better. Its only for a few weeks, why not take advantage of this period?
In honor of mercury retrograde, I invite those of you who want to REDO a web or graphic design project and get started on the one you have had in your head for months to contact me between now and September 13th and for that I will take 10% off.

Just thought I would share the creative direction process I use when someone hires me to design their website or marketing materials. Everything is a collaboration. Some companies have a formalized process where they send a series of questions. I just do it by email with a few short ones. I don’t want them to feel they have to answer every single question before I start designing though, so this is just a general rule to go by.
How can you get a head start on the promotion and marketing, before it is even completed? Put up a temp page while it is being built, even have an opt in form to begin building your database of new clients, even months before the site is ready to go.
