"Shelly is so much more than just a "weight loss solution". Shelly is all about educating you about proper life choices and giving you the knowledge and tools to continue losing weight to meet your goals and to stay healthy. So far, I have lost 40 pounds and have learned to look past the "easy" meals and comfort foods that are not healthy. Shelly is your best choice for nutrition information."

I was a developer/system designer/support supervisor all in one package before venturing out on my own. I worked for companies serving large well-known brands in Corporate America and was astounded at the fees we charged for a website.
I decided that there was little chance that most small businesses could afford paying thousands of dollars for a website, so I calculated an affordable price-point that would be more palatable to small business owners and still allow me to meet my financial obligations. I then left my near six-figure position and started Avatar Website Design, joined the local chamber of commerce and BNI. This has led to a moderately successful web services business. I continue to add services I believe a small business owner needs, and at affordable pricing.
I really enjoy the surprise I see when I quote a project and the even more rewarding looks I receive when owners review their finished websites. All of those long hours working behind the scenes with little or no recognition for a corporate entity never provided the enjoyment and satisfaction I achieve with each satisfied customer in my own web service business.

Honesty regarding fees, listening to their needs, confirming I understood their website vision, and maintaining the relationship with regular communication after the project was on-boarded because the "project" is never done in my line of work. There is always a need for additional changes as the customer's business evolves and web technology evolves. I realize these are several ingredients, but they are all "key" in getting and keeping a client.
