So what do you do if you have a non-profit organization and want to let people know about what it is you do? Like most nonprofits, you probably have a limited budget to work with for advertising and promotions so you need to make every dollar count.
Over the years, Mark Lewandowski at Studio 544 has worked with a number of nonprofits to help spread the word about their good causes to a larger audience online. Some of these include:

One of the most important aspects about a nonprofit is their reputation so you want to be sure whoever you hire to create your organization’s web site shares the same type of high reputation you have (or want) to achieve. Do your research! [/wow_boxsh]

When shopping around for a web designer, make sure to check not only their portfolio but also their testimonials and if necessary, get references. There’s nothing wrong with asking a company for references. After all, in the end, your organization’s website will have an immediate impact on your nonprofit’s image. That can be either good or bad depending on how the site looks and functions.
Here are some other things to look for when choosing a web designer for your nonprofit organization:

How long have they been in business?
Are they responsive to your questions?
What is their BBB rating?
How comfortable are you talking with them?
Are they pushy and promising you the moon or do they listen to what you have to say and make suggestions to fit within your budget constraints?

Studio 544 — Fri, 07 Mar 2014 19:51:15 +0000

Over the years, Mark Lewandowski at Studio 544 has answered many questions from clients and prospective clients when it comes to their business or organization’s web site projects. So much so that he decided to create a little 6-step Web Design Project FAQ checklist to provide to his freelance web design clients.
This generally works fine and is a good place to start but by no means claims to be a comprehensive list of everything that goes into a web site project. With that being said, Studio 544 decided to create this little 2 minute animated video to use as a more interactive approach to answering these 6 common web site project questions.

New York Fashion Designer Works with Studio 544

Studio 544 Web Design in Hutchinson, MN worked closely with Sara Romoli and her New York-based premium Italian clothing collection Trappola di Venere. The collection consists of luxury Italian made fashion corsets, t-shirts, tops and jewelry accessories.
Old world Italian craftsmanship and attention to detail ensure that each piece of the Trappola di Venere collection is of the highest quality. They have selected the finest, luxurious materials and Italian fabrics in each style to maintain the spirit and romance of a bygone era. Their goal is to bring out the natural beauty, femininity and inner glamour of every woman.

This was a multiple phase project that consisted of modifying the collection’s already existing web site to update it with new features, images and additional pages. Studio 544 also set up a full featured e commerce online store for the Trappola di Venere collection at http://shop.trappoladivenere.com.

In addition to the above services, Studio 544 is assisting Trappola di Venere with their online marketing including blogging, Facebook and Twitter posts; online store promotions and more.

Pay Per Click Advertising

Studio 544 — Tue, 02 Apr 2013 18:07:46 +0000

Is pay per click advertising right for you? Many of my clients ask me about this at one point or another regarding the promotion of their web site, business and services. The short answer is “It all depends.” I know this may sound vague but you need to ask yourself some basic questions before jumping into pay per click advertising.

Are pay per click ads right for you?

Do I have something special to promote or sell? It’s been my experience over the years that using pay per click advertising to promote a special offer or sale typically works better than using it to simply promote your business in general.
Do you have a budget set for your ads? It’s important to have an idea about how much the keywords you want to bid on with your ads will cost. Some keywords are more affordable than others and that discount coupon you may have received in the mail from Google Ad Words can be used up pretty quickly if your keywords are commanding some seriously high bids for decent placement.
Do you have the time and knowledge necessary to set up and monitor your ad campaigns? This is where talking with a professional web company or freelance web designer like Studio 544 comes in. A proper ad campaign requires frequent tweaking and adjusting to ensure you are getting the most for your ad budget. With over 10 years of experience in setting up and administering pay per click ad campaigns on both Google and the Bing/Yahoo network, I can take the anxiety out of this for you.

Take advantage of the reports and stats available to you. This is really the best way to analyze your campaign’s performance. I go over all of these points with my clients and encourage them to ask questions and contribute their input. After all, they know their business better than I do so I rely on them in the beginning set up stages to think carefully about what they think will entice someone searching for them online to “take the bait”.

Studio 544 can help generate more traffic to your web sites through the use of pay per click advertising but once they click, it’s up to the content of the site and the quality of the offer that will determine whether or not the site visitor will be converted into a paying customer.

Contact freelance web designer Mark Lewandowski at Studio 544 in Hutchinson, MN today to find out if a pay per click advertising campaign is right for your business or organization.
