Lisa Taylor Huff, Web Designer and Freelance
Writer
Welcome! I'm Lisa Taylor Huff, the
"Chief WOW Officer" at Get the WOW!
As a web site strategist
and designer, I partner with businesses who struggle to develop a web site that
gets results. In collaboration with my clients, I help businesses and
professionals develop a compelling and effective message and web presence that
will WOW customers and make a great first impression -- a task that is often
easier said than done!
Why "Get The
WOW!"?
I've been a web designer since 1992 and a business
development analyst, copywriter, coach and strategist for the better part of
the past 20 years, and have worked with businesses of all sizes, helping them
to develop and execute a dynamic and effective web presence. In my experience
over the years, I began to notice a very significant difference between how
major corporations approach creating a web presence, and how small businesses
try to do it.
Big corporations have big budgets and entire teams of
people contributing to the company web site, and therefore they usually create
very effective web sites that can compel customers to buy; but small to
mid-sized businesses don't have the internal resources, money or know-how to
create a web site on the same scale -- and they are often intimidated by
technology and what they feel they don't know.
So, how do you
FIND the right business and technology partners to help you make your web
vision a reality? How do you avoid making costly mistakes?
From the VP of Communications & Public
Affairs for a multinational chemical/pharmaceutical company:
"I
would like to recognize Lisa for her dedication and hard work in establishing
our web site. Lisa has clearly been the key player without whom we would never
have been able to meet our objective.
The Feb. 12 issue [1996] of
Business Week says that companies developing web sites are spending between
$300,000 and $4,224,000 per site to get it off the ground. Thanks to
Lisa's extraordinary efforts, we were able to establish the site for a mere
fraction of the lower side of that range, potentially saving [the
company] literally hundreds of thousands of dollars [this year]." |
My
vision for Get The WOW
I want to take the pain, frustration
and uncertainty out of your experience in using the internet to grow and
promote your business. I can think of no better compliment to your business
than for visitors to come to your web site and say: "WOW -- this is EXACTLY
what I was looking for. THIS business understands my problems. THEY have the
right product or service or information I need." I get that reaction every day
from my own web site visitors, and I can do the same for YOU!
So,
business owners... I'd like to invite you to take a few minutes and look
around this site to discover how I can support your business and marketing
objectives via your web site.
