<p><strong>Wouldn’t it be scary if&#8230;</strong> You were a gifted YogaDance instructor yearning to teach people how to &#8220;shake their souls,&#8221; but you didn&#8217;t have a business card, flyers, anything to let them know about classes?</p>

<p><strong>Boo!</strong>   &#8211; Lois</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>P.S. Lois and Chica say:  &#8220;Without a great website and branding that stand out, you don&#8217;t stand a GHOST of a chance in the marketplace&#8230; now that&#8217;s scary!&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>20 Years in Business!</h2>
<h2><img class="size-full wp-image-alignright" style="margin: 8px;" title="Lois Wood portrait" src="http://lwcreative.com/wpr/wp-content/uploads/portrait-small.jpg" alt="Lois Wood Graphic Design, LW Creative Group" width="154" height="188" /></h2>
<p>To celebrate 20 successful years in business this year, I decided to change my business name.  Which of course means a new logo .  And a whole new website.   So here we are!</p>
<h3>Why a new business name?</h3>
<p>Because it&#8217;s no longer just me in the business.  I&#8217;ve got <strong>two other people</strong> working with me now.  One is Don, a genius website code guy who works behind-the-scenes, expert at coding and databases and e-commerce and anything else that&#8217;s needed for great websites.  Another is Sue, an assistant, writer, and social media expert.  And we collaborate closely with a great photographer, if we need portraits or other photos for websites.  So, since we&#8217;re now a team, we had to have &#8220;group&#8221; in the name.</p>
<p>Also, our old name was just &#8220;graphic design.&#8221;  We do <strong>so</strong> <strong>much more than that</strong> now!  In fact, our business has become mostly websites, social media, email blasts, and other online technical help, and not so very much print anymore.  But, we still create logos and corporate branding for clients, which we love.</p>
<p>Then &#8220;<strong>visual branding</strong>.&#8221;  From your logo to website to social media to advertising and print, we&#8217;ll make you look good.  We&#8217;ll ensure your brand is consistent.  We&#8217;ll figure out the best image for your target audience.</p>
<p>But for consistency, we wanted to keep some of the old logo and look.  We kept our starfish, but updated it (more later on why a starfish represents us).  We stayed with the purple and green, because that&#8217;s our look and we love those colors.  We maintained the sand, because working with us should always be like <strong>a day at the beach</strong>.</p>
<p>So, what do you think?</p>
<p><em>Lois  (and Don, and Sue)<br />
</em></p>
