A Special ‘Thank You’ for Amusée’s Site!
With the launch of my new website, I have many people to thank for the design, mechanics, and behind the scenes work that have truly made my site a success. I have received many wonderful comments in the way of feedback and honestly, none of it could have been done without these very special people.
First, I would like to thank Pete Fabian and Tim Dillon for brainstorming and helping to create and design a site that was exactly what I was looking for. From the very beginning stages of development to business cards, right down to my final launch, these guys were the ones that truly put the Amusée logo to work.
Next, without the help of continued resources and the right folks to help with behind the scenes programming and implementation of my site, the motion to get things up and running would not have been possible without The Gabrik Family at Techware Distribution. With their newly formed relationship with owners, Drew and Cameron at Akayna Studios www.akaynastudios.com, Techware Distribution has worked to help me with all the resources that I’ve needed to continue to grow my business with cd/dvd creation and behind the scenes improvements to my site. I have ordered and designed, with the help of their associates, many products that I use daily for my business. For more information on the best group in this business visit: www.techwaredist.com
If you’re interested in the wonderful photography that was provided for many of my main pages, I a few very special people to thank. First – Melanie Nashan of Nashan Photography. The professional pics that were taken and used throughout my site were taken while catching me at a function in Big Sky, Montana. For more information and views of her gorgeous photography, visit: www.nashan.com
Although some of the smaller photos were only centered to be backgrounds to some of my pages (more to be included on my future ‘photo page’), the website would have not had the life that I wanted it to without his photos. I want to thank first, my dear friend and crazy Germanic Alsation, Alphonse Walker (aka: Chairman of the Bordeaux). Alphonse and I are long time friends and were business associates at Archery Summit Winery in Oregon. Many of the gorgeous winery photos you see were actually taken at the winery during events or as the season passed throughout the winery year. Secondly, I would like to thank Chris Lang, a current business associate, with a strong passion for photography and illustration. He has special interest in winery photography and does an amazing job bringing the ‘color’ out of black and white photos. A very talented individual. Unfortunately, neither Mr. Walker’s or Mr. Lang’s works are for sale, but I’m sure at the right price…I could contact either of them for their works.
And, last but not least…when it comes to copy, I tend to get carried away with verbiage. If I’m not careful, it seems to just keep leaking from me without direction. Without the help of some very special loved ones, friends and family, my verbiage, testimonials page and blog site may have never transformed. Knowing that ‘wine’ work is always one of my first priorities, the tedious pieces to web design seemed to completely overwhelm me. For those of you who helped to put this all together for me in a very grandiose way, you know who you are – thank you so very much.
There is a great appreciation for folks when it comes to website design, implementation and upkeep. You may be able to provide the copy, photos and material, but when it comes to finding the right professionals to putting it all together, one must never forget the people who made you look good, so THANK YOU for all that were involved with helping to design my beautiful and very successful website @ www.amuseewine.com
Salut to all involved!!
