If you’re anything like me, you go into business because you know what you do best, you know your value, and you believe in your services.

Also know that none of that stands for much in today’s world, if you can’t showcase your business via your website, branding, logos to attract the right customers for you and make sales.

You know what you do best, it’s in your head and heart…somehow you have to get that out onto a webpage, a flyer, a business card.

If you’ve ever had to do that for yourself, you’ll know as I’ve recently discovered setting up my own business, it’s a nightmare…You don’t have the skills or the knowledge, and you don’t have the vision: you need a translator.

Not only do you need someone who can help you crystallise your services, clarify your brand, help you identify your market, but you need someone with technical ability and creative design genius. That sounds like a whole team to me…but here’s where Rob Rhead from Crimson Lizard Design stood head and shoulders above the rest for me. It’s very rare to find multiple talents like that in one person…

Sure you can hire a team…but it’s fragmented and can you afford them?
Sure there are people who will build websites, they’re ten a penny, but are they graphic designers. You’ll get your words on a page no doubt, but how professional will it look and will those words get read?
Ok, you can ask a marketing man, they’ll tell you what you need to do for SEO …for a nice price..
For most designers, you’ll have to provide your own images and photos…as a photographer of professional ability; you get all that with Rob Rhead…

The joy of having direct one-on-one accessibility and attention working with one man who’s co-ordinating your project, means changes get done quickly, there’s no Chinese whispers or lost messages…boy that’s refreshing, I can tell you!!

What Rob understands is how to get your message out of your head in a clear way to sell your business and make your success happen…and he’s all the skills you need to make it happen. Don’t get me wrong, he takes no messing… he’ll push you to get your copy right and provide him with the information he needs to do his job. He knows what works, what will stand you out from your competition, what’s clear and he’ll tell you. But you’ll also get a lot of patience…

I don’t honestly know where else you could find anyone who can do the job better

All of that talent…and still he makes your website look beautiful… #Genius
