Well, the Willow Doula.com website is officially all updated! If you have had a birth with me from May 2009 to present, its up! YAY!
Thanks to Lloyd Thompson, my trusty "web master" ball of awesomeness! He created, built and has hosted my site for 2 years! The back ground on the site was hand painted on to a canvas for me (I have it). The updates are great!
See the background? The pregnant willow tree? He painted that!
There is also an '"Availability" Tab! I am able to keep this one more current! That way when potential clients are looking for a doula, they know whether or not I can be available to them during their due date. Before, I was sending it to Lloyd and I was having to rely on him to be timely with it. Though he was great at it, with his new baby coming, I am quite certain, I won't be squeezing much of anything out of him when she gets here!
There is also an updated "photography" tab that has some of my VERY armature work there. Slide shows for both birth photography and family/children's photography. A tab for the blog and a tab for resource links!
I chose to "get rid" of the Willow Store tab. I ran into a quality issue with my filler for my heat packs and have not found a filler that I like, so I won't be selling them. HOWEVER, I am making rice tubes. They are great for short term heat (20-30 min) Still come in cute fabric choices and are good quality and last for sometime!
There is also a place where you can add your testimonial if I have been your Doula!
I am pretty stoked about this feature as I have gotten cards and letters before, emails and little gifts. I have no way to put them out there (comfortably) as a testimonial until now. Thank you to everyone who has submitted one, gives me warm fuzzies to see that I have been a blessing in other's lives!
I am hoping the changes allow me to rely less on poor Lloyd for my changes and additions. As of now, all I will need to call on him for is adding a new birth to the site when it comes up!
In closing.....
If there is anyone out there looking to dip your toe in the water and get a website going, Lloyd is your guy. I have Microsoft Front Page and could have done it myself, however, I lack the time and true skill set to do that, which means serious lack of patience to boot. Hes very fair with prices and prompt!! http://www.invisiblesoul.com/ and you can also find him Facebook!
