Palmerworks had a productive 2010. We were busy all year developing sites, creating company logos, and providing print media for entrepreneurs and established professionals.

We had the pleasure of meeting some great people who’ve created successful businesses. Please take advantage of their services.

911 Set Medics – provides the Michigan film industry with the highest-trained professional EMS personnel for commercial, TV, and film production. We developed their site, blog, logo, and business cards.

Everlast Asphalt – a Canton, Michigan-based provider of residential and commercial asphalt services. Palmerworks developed a 5-page site, logo, and business cards.

The Word of Truth Church and Ministries – a thriving church in Warren, Mich., presided over by church founder, Dr. Robert E. Garner. We developed their site and incorporated two blogs for updates from the pastor and about church events. We also set up their Facebook, Twitter, and helped them with other social networking services.

We created a 5-page site, blog, logo, and set-up and integrated the learning management system. (As of March 2011, American CME has moved to “moodlerooms” as their new hosting provider. The original design is by Palmerworks, but writing and information is not by our company.)

Check back often to see our progress. We’re thankful to all our clients and look forward to another successful and productive year.

Palmerworks provides affordable, professional web design and specializes in personalized service.

Jamy Krulikowski is mutli-talented actor, film and video editor, writer, and motion graphic artist from Farmington Hills, Michigan. In preparation for his career change and move to California later this year, Jamy needs new business cards to help him showcase his talents and experience. He wanted a card that would provide contact information but also get attention.

As an actor, Jamy definitely needed his head shot on the card. We combined the photo on the back with a subtle “hollywood” image on the front and voila! The card is multifunctional and will help him open doors in his new career.

Of course, there’s much more information to provide for potential employees, so a website was the perfect complement to the cards. Take a look at the one-page site we developed to tide him over while he gathers more website content. It contains a brief bio and contact information, and will easily be developed into a larger site once we have more pictures, a resume, and video samples. See the “preview” site here: www.jamyk.com.

If you need the perfect business card, and/or a website to showcase your talents, call Rick or Katherine at 734-252-WEB1, or email info@palmerworks.com. We’ll work with you to develop the image you want to project at an affordable price. Ask about our “New Career” Package – a 5-page website, domain name, hosting for one year, 5 email addresses, and 100 2-sided business cards – all for only $475.

A resume is more than just a list of your job qualifications on paper. It’s your opportunity to create a great first impression. In today’s tough economy, it’s important to utilize the various forms of social media available to promote yourself in the job market. Having your resume online is the first step to getting your qualifications out in the limelight, and showing potential employers that you’re comfortable with emerging technology.

Palmerworks Design offers a variety of networking strategies for self-promotion, including the online resume. You can link to your resume from Linkedin.com, Facebook, and major job placement sites. Putting your web address at the bottom of your resume and on emails to prospective employers, makes it easy for them to read far more about you than can be fit on a traditional one-page resume.

Take a look at the resume of Marsha R. Westfall. She’s a 2010 graduate of U of M Dearborn, and she’s looking to begin her teaching career after years of hard work and academic success. In addition to the traditional information about her education and employment history, the online resume provides a link to her science education portfolio, and gives plenty of room for quotes about her teaching philosophy, a full list of references with contact info, and much more. Since it’s created in blog format, Marsha can continue to add more information any time, and she can use it as a personal or professional blog once she begins her teaching career.

Online resume, including domain name and hosting for one year – $225.
