To keep things short I'm going to paraphrase some really great information from Calevans.com.
Let's switch things around a little bit. If you're reading this chances are you are trying to see things from just your own perspective. You have your own opinions about how tings should be handled, what you want, what length of time you want it in. But to face facts, developers are not mind readers. We know only what we are given to work with and more often than not a vague idea of what your mind holds.
Personal branding is a must have for anyone that's looking for a position with a new company or who wants to freelance. Keeping yourself noticeable in a sea of people makes you the most likely to be chosen.
Most resumes are bland, stale, templated. Microsoft Word gives you a few good pointers, but what does it really do to make you stand out? It doesn't help you decide which paper it would be best printed on or help you create a personalized logo. We can.
Making things easy for you to use is in everyone's best interest. Think about the proverb "Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, feed him for a lifetime." We would prefer to teach you how to use your site so you don't have to rely on us to do everything you want. It's very, very simple and we would like to prove that. Contact us and request an online or in-person demonstration.
Just throwing your site up on the internet and hoping is not the way to a successful site. It takes time, it takes patience and the ability to recognize that you may not have been right on your content the first time around.
When we think branding most people jump straight to logos. This is only a small part of branding. Let's look at Kellogs, the cereal company. The cereals they sell are branded with warm and lovable cartoon characters such as Tony the Tiger. Kids already relate because they love cartoons and then they sure up the commercials with perfect family portraits.
More often that not most businesses think all they ever need to have printed are business cards and maybe a banner. But how well does that really work? If you have a retail store targeting a specific theme (such as antiques or western clothes) wouldn't it be great if your customers could grab a brochure that tells them what you might be bringing to the store? Or maybe inform them of upcoming events?
Sometimes when you have presentations for work or events that require substance and spunk you may fall flat. We've often seen that the problem is not the template you use, the photos or the computer you're using but the knowledge of the software.

When a child watches this they feel safe, calm and they actually feel that eating the cereal can give them what the commercial depicts.
After the concept, bring in marketing; place the commercials on cartoon channels during the highest rating periods. Bam! Best feelings in the world given to you every time you turn on the TV. ... I really need some cereal.
