What is Squish Designs?

I realize that the majority of my posts are about events that I am either attending or ones that I am involved in the planning of. Either that or I write about things that excite me and I feel will excite others...

I want to take this time in the blogspot of Nicki Laycoax to let my readers know exactly what it is that Squish does.

I tend to say that we do web work... That's a pretty generic description. Squish provides businesses, organizations, and events with useful and practical solutions on the web. Nearly everyone's lives can be made easier with web solutions.
-From static, informative websites, to complex applications that handle multiple operations such as eCommerce, for example...
-We offer solutions for those that need websites that don't want to learn HTML...
-We offer hosting...
-Logo design...
-Web analytics...
-Partnering with other companies on larger development projects
-We welcome the opportunity to provide non-profit organizations with web presences and updates to their current sites either at no cost or very little cost...
-We are the people that you can call up or email at nearly any time of day or night to get advice and get questions answered of why the heck your website and related items aren't doing what you think they should be...
-We love doing anything involving the youth; mentoring, volunteering, teaching...

We at Squish have the mission of improving our communities in a technological way. Contact us to see what we can do for you or your business or group!

Website Update

Until now, the Squish Designs website has been pretty close to horrific. It's funny, we preach to our clients that your website is the face of your business-yet ours sucked... Knowing that it was as bad as it was, I volunteered our site for an "Extreme Makeover" on Smaller Indiana.

I was chosen, amongst 3 others, for a makeover. Each person was assigned a professional copywriter to meet with and go over how they could help make our sites better. We were assigned a lovely young woman by the name of Theresia Whitfield. She is the owner of Fletcher Communications. We met for about an hour and a half, and received some pretty helpful information. One thing that we already knew was that our site definitely did not represent our company properly-or at all, for that matter.

Since Squish began as a web design company, and we have not updated our site for quite some time, no one was able to see that we are not strictly a design firm. What Squish focuses on is custom web application development. What is that you ask? Well, Theresia asked the very same question. Funny thing-when she asked me what that is, I was left speechless! I just assumed that everyone today knew what that meant! So, that brought me to the conclusion that I, as well as George and Dru, need to go back to the beginning of when we all started to do this. How can we sell what it is that we do if we can't even explain it! (For others with the same question of what web development is-it is the programming of what you see online. It's not just the creation of the website itself, but how to make it move-it's the creation of the back-end function of the sites you see on the internet.)

Since our meeting, we have been putting together what it is that we want visitors to our site to know. We have also put up our new design, which is still in progress.. but is 100 times better than the old crappy site that we had up. Theresia has also volunteered to write the content for our homepage so that it will be more interesting and attention grabbing than what we can come up with. Thanks Theresia!

To give feedback on how the site makeovers went, the group that participated in this experiment is meeting on February 22nd... I'll keep you updated!!!
