WENDY BYARD - a MARKETING "Jill of All Trades"
I am a spirited, energetic person who puts one thousand percent into everything I do! Creativity, strong writing, beautiful graphics, and polished work are my hallmarks. I also am a one-stop shop. By that I mean I have many skills to offer. Why go to several shops and professionals, spending time and money, while also risking a mishmash of marketing materials that don't match? With me, for example, you could get a beautifully designed website and matching brochure, invoice/worksheet/other, business card, flyer, and other documents that will all portray the same expert design at a reasonable price.
I also can help you refresh your brand: new look, logo, and tagline -- all designed to fill your particular niche in the marketplace. Quite often, businesses exist for years with outdated web sites and branding. Perhaps yours is in need of an upgrade? So, review samples of my work on the Services page and then call me for a consultation. You will be pleased you did! I look forward to your project!
