Get Jeff Lester to Graduation!

Posted by 428 Designs

Jeff Lester

We recently launched a site for a very dear friend, Jeff Lester. Please visit his new site at www.getjefflestertograduation.com to learn about this awesome man, his inspiring outlook and the campaign to get him to his graduation ceremony in Michigan next May.

Jeff was diagnosed in 1993 (at the age of 26) with ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease) and was basically told by doctors to go home and plan his funeral as he had 3 to 5 years to live.

Well, that’s not the way Jeff Lester works. Seventeen years later, Jeff is a husband, the father of three daughters, and is a full time graduate student now earning his M.B.A. and a MS in Finance degree.

Jeff’s graduation from the University of Michigan-Dearborn is May 2, 2011, but physical and economic challenges will make this impossible without help. (more…)

Site Launch: Yogahood

Posted by 428 Designs

Sharon DuBois wanted to update her original site (built in 2003) to a really simple, straight-forward site for her yoga business.

Her requirements? The ability to sell her DVD, a mailing list sign up and the ability to update her site content on her own as well as publish a blog.

WordPress, a simple PayPal setup for DVD sales, and Mail Chimp for her newsletter sign up were all that was needed to get Sharon up and running. And, of course, a groovy design.

A great example of a “starter site”. Check it out: www.yogahood.com.
