My time flies.  I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. 

This month, we launched one new web site:

• Sentinel Technology Solutions needed a fresh new business identity as well as a flexible and easy to self-maintain site.  They have a database-backend, blog-enabled web site with some additional dynamic features.

This month we launched three new client sites:

• Kitchen Mart wanted a new user-friendly interactive site that would be easy to continue to expand to become an authority site on remodeling.
• Clear Vision Coaching is an existing client who wanted a website redesign to infuse new energy into her business after almost four years.
• Sacramento Occupational Medical Group wanted to upgrade from an existing generic template site to a site more in tune with their branding.  They also chose a WordPress backend for easy maintenance for regular news updates.

September went by very quickly.  YNot Web launched one new site:

• David Foster Sculpture is a site promoting the sculpture of Tahoe area artist David Foster.

We also launched an updated version of a site that we created a couple of years ago for the Cordova Recreation and Park District.  Here we added more infrastucture and supporting graphics as well as updating their Content Management System with recent version improvements.

This year’s Client Appreciation Raffle had more than 65 entries – a mix of entry forms, client referrals, and testimonials.  Winners were drawn this afternoon and as soon as we’ve notified the raffle winners and distributed all of our giveaway items, we will post the names of the giveaway recipients here.

YNot Web Client Appreciation is back and bigger than ever!

YNot Web values our customer relationships and we know without them we wouldn’t be where we are today.  To show our appreciation, we will be giving away more than ever before to our clients this year (total value of over $2000):

• Biz Booster promotional packages, including $100 Google Adwords budgets
• iPod nanos
• Golf outings at Apple Mountain Golf Resort and Empire Ranch Golf Club
• Spa day certificates from SpaFinder.com

Our annual Client Appreciation Raffle is exclusive to our customers.  To be eligible to win one of our raffle prizes, you must be a client of YNot Web in good standing and you must submit an entry form before 12:00pm PST on Monday, August 13th.

As this is an exclusive raffle, we have tried to email all our clients, past and present, raffle entry instructions but we know that we may not have everyone’s current email address or that some of you have strong spam or bulk email filters which may have prevented our email from getting through.  If you have been a YNot Web client and have not yet received an email, you can request a resend of your raffle entry instructions.  If you still do not receive a link to the entry form, please call us for information.

Bonus entries are given to clients with monthly maintenance or SEO agreements as well as clients who have submitted testimonials or client referrals since our 2006 raffle drawing.

Keep in mind this year’s raffle winners will be drawn promptly at NOON PST on Monday, August 13th.  To be eligible, you must follow the instructions to submit your entry prior to that time.
