2nd Chance – you CAN have a do-over!

August 22nd, 2011

Taking on a project from an acquaintance who becomes a networking partner who becomes a friend who becomes a clients is always so exciting!

Mutual respect has already been established making the trust factor hurdle a non-issue. Additionally, knowing my client’s personality, priorities and passions make it easier when deciding the direction – look & feel, and tone – of the website.

Such was the case with Colleen Beland of 2nd Chance Debt Arbitration Service.

2nd Chance Debt Arbitration Service

I met Colleen at a networking event back when she was working in another area of finance. I found her vibrant, smart, trustworthy and truly kind, we hit it off right away. Colleen had all the characteristics of someone I could trust as a friend, AND with my money. I hired her financial services without a second thought.

As she planned marketing her new company 2nd Chance, Colleen asked if I would be interested in assisting her with her online presence. Not only was I interested, I was honored!

We chose to use the very popular Joomla! CMS so that Colleen could manage the site herself. The project went exactly as I’d anticipated: with much enthusiasm, passion and appreciation from both sides.

Colleen, thanks again for the opportunity to assist you with your website! I know how passionate you are about helping people out of financial debt… everyone deserves a 2nd chance!

I wish you all the best my friend! :)

JenTekk launches “Express Yourself!”

June 14th, 2011

We really enjoy designing sites for kids. It demands color, energy and a certain playfulness.

That is what we feel we’ve accomplished with the BC Library’s latest Kids educational project: Express Yourself: The BC Kids Writing Contest.

Visit The BC Kids Writing Contest 2011

JenTekk was contacted June 1st with an opportunity to design a small site for the BC Library Association in conjunction with the Ministry of Education, providing Kids with an opportunity to showcase their writing skills. The only catch was, they needed it done yesterday!

Unable to resist a challenge, working with the BC Library Association again and finally for the love of our kids – I took it on! Fortunately all the preliminary work was ready: basic content, site objectives, and functionality requirements.

Here it is 2 weeks later and launched!

Thanks once again to BCLA et al for the opportunity! May the “Express Yourself” writing contest be a huge success for you, and for our kids!
