I get the nicest notes from web clients but this one is quite special.
Suzanne Kilkus (Heartpace Coaching) has been my web client since 2010. She has an HTML site with WordPress blog added. Her husband Steve Kilkus (Little Stories of Caring) is a new WordPress client – we’re just getting started.
Thanks for your excellent work. We think hiring you was one of our best decisions!

Endorsements and Referrals – they sure make the world go ’round!
My new web client has joined The Ultimate Blog Challenge!
The best SEO strategy to (get attention from search engines like Google) is to post often. I encourage web clients to write something for social media or their web site weekly at a minimum and I can help with the ideas and the mechanics. It is challenging for most of these busy small business owners to get in the loop and stay there.
But this is ramped up! The challenge is to write blogs daily! And for joining they help with inspiration. Here’s wishing Steve Kilkus of Little Stories of Caring the best success in achieving the blue ribbon from UBC with hopes that new long term habits ‘stick’.
I just added Growmap Anti Spambot Plugin (GASP) check box to a WordPress site but wanted to change the text style.
If you are looking for the CSS path here it is:

A good relationship with a client can outlive the live website. Most of my clients have moved on because of no longer offering their particular services. Playing a primary role is health concerns and going back to full-time employment.
It’s always sad when a client leaves my care but how can I complain when I get feedback like this?
I’ve always been happy with your work and continue to pass your name along when I can. If you’re curious how it happened, … explanation…. and that’s why we went that direction. Had …that.. not happened, I would have worked with you on this project. ~ Tony Trapp Repairs

A big thank-you for your mentoring us carpet people over the past decade. Remember the song from To Sir with Love? (1960′s I think). Well you took us “from crayons to perfume” in our web presence and we will forever be indebted to you. Our best to you. ~ Michael Peters, Carpets Plus Wisconsin (hired in-house web staff)
A good indicator of client satisfaction is how they feel when they leave.
Ex-clients that will still refer you? priceless
I gave this site a new look and then progress got stalled by a death in my family. Someone sent me a poem about friendship but I think it could easily apply to web clients too.
Let us give thanks for a bounty of people.
For children who are our second planting, and though they
grow like weeds and the wind too soon blows them away, may
they forgive us our cultivation and fondly remember where
their roots are.
Let us give thanks;
For generous friends web clients …with hearts…and smiles as bright
as their blossoms;
For feisty friends web clients, as tart as apples;
For continuous friends web clients, who, like scallions and cucumbers,
keep reminding us that we’ve had them;
For crotchety friends web clients, sour as rhubarb and as indestructible;
For handsome friends web clients, who are as gorgeous as eggplants and
as elegant as a row of corn, and the others, as plain as
potatoes and so good for you;
For funny friends web clients, who are as silly as Brussels sprouts and
as amusing as Jerusalem artichokes;
And serious friends web clients as unpretentious as cabbages, as subtle
as summer squash, as persistent as parsley, as delightful as
dill, as endless as zucchini and who, like parsnips, can be
counted on to see you through the winter;
For old friends web clients, nodding like sunflowers in the evening-time,
and young friends coming on as fast as radishes;
For loving friends web clients, who wind around us like tendrils and hold
us, despite our blights, wilts and witherings;
And finally, for those friends web clients now gone, like gardens past
that have been harvested, but who fed us in their times that
we might have life thereafter.
For all these we give thanks.
