What We Do
New Tricks Web Design and Social Media
New Tricks provides web development and marketing services for small businesses and entrepreneurs who do not have in house marketing departments.
New Tricks’ services are not industry specific. We help a wide variety of businesses take their on-line presence to the next level. Why try to do it yourself when you can partner with New Tricks to provide business experience, service and support that will allow you to focus on your core competencies.
Our Services
We work with our clients to help them create splendid and effective strategies and on-line presence for their businesses. We have a special love for working with start-ups who are just getting their gigs together and with our business and marketing experience are a super resource for established businesses who are looking to update their brand and on-line technology. From creating or updating your brand and logo, designing and launching your new or redesigned website, and helping you with a plant to get visitors and traffic with Social Media Marketing and Search Engine Optimization strategies, New Tricks can take you there.
We differentiate ourselves from other web designers by offering the business strategy that you need to create an online presence that Sells whatever it is you’ve got to sell. New Tricks helps you plan your site and how to get it seen and get it known. We teach you how to get results.
You can work with us in several ways:
Talk it Out Sessions:
You are just starting out and need an on-line presence and want to know your options. You or your business idea is stuck and you don’t know how to proceed. You want to rock your business and want to know how to get started. You have resisted the new media movement but know it’s time to begin. You feel that others have passed you by and it may be too late. You have an old school website and it needs an overhaul. You can do it for others but not yourself, Shoemakers kids and all that… If any of these things ring a bell, let’s schedule some time to talk about it. I listen, I evaluate, I look, teach, I encourage, I refer, I work with you. Its all good. It costs 150.00 for the hour. It is well worth it, you will learn a lot. If we work together in the future, I will deduct the fee from the initial consultation. Click here to get started.
Brand and Logo Development:
You are at the point where you have your business idea in hand and are now up for getting your brand honed and ready for action with the end result being creation of laser messaging and a brilliant logo. This is a process that is going to take a bit of time, introspection and focus. You will do some writing and some talking. We have a worksheet to help you get clear. We will end up knowing exactly what you propose to do, for whom you are doing it, why they will want to buy it from from you and, how will they find you and know they are in the right place. Tall order huh?
Rocking Your Website:
We believe that your website is your online storefront and as such it should be the hub of all you do. In these times, even if you have a store or a IRL office, your website should be the place that your clients and your customers will come see you again and again. The good news is that new technology has made getting and keeping up with your on-line presence, easy to do and dare I say fun? If you want to take advantage of the power of digital marketing with all of the free social media tools and the ability to get great search engine ranking without buying it, you must build your new or updated on-line “market space” using a content management website. We build these sites using WordPress.
We love WordPress because it is really easy. People usually need us to get their hosting account and install the free software. They also need for us to set it up for them to look a very specific way, consistent with their logo and branding. We pay special attention to get everything looking and acting just right to include programs to prevent spam and increase search engine optimization. We do however, teach our clients to maintain their sites themselves adding content, photos, videos and so much more. No more calling the web designer every time you need to change or add something. What a concept!
Social Media Training and Management:
Your website shouldn’t be just a brochure or glorified business card. It shouldn’t be just a portfolio of your work. It should and can be the hub of all of your marketing efforts. In this day and age it is possible to level the playing field with larger well established businesses to get your message or products out. It is the window into you business. It is the place that people can come to find you and come back again and again until they know like and trust you enough to become a consumer or a client of yours. But you must attract them, and then begin to build a relationship with them. When you do this when they are ready to buy they will buy from you. New Tricks can help. We offer several service levels. We can help set up your accounts and customize them and we can help you to create a social media plan and either train you to carry it out or help you implement it.

Judi is a very smart, talented and creative person, who understands the bigger picture of being in business for yourself. She listens well and very quickly comes up with creative ideas that she implements with elegance. Since Judi helped me convert my website to word press and redesign the home page, I have had many compliments and requests for a referral to Judi. I highly recommend that you contact Judi for an initial consultation. You will learn a lot and enjoy being with her. Judi is very wise and fun! – Margo Geller, June 17, 2010
When you find a service provider who not only gets the job done but also delivers beyond expectations, you feel like you have struck gold. Such was my experience with Judi. Her creativity, vision and listening skills translated my ideas into a eye catching and effective website. Her knack with marketing ideas for small businesses and sincere desire to see my long-term entrepreneurial success helped me beyond words. Our meetings renewed my confidence and motivation every time. I have also been very pleased with the easy to use WordPress platform she uses for web design. Because of this platform, my website will never be static and can adapt with me and my business goals. Judi’s integrity, abilities, and now friendship have been invaluable to me. I would recommend her highly. - Trulie Ankerberg, March 17, 2009
I had a website I couldn’t maintain myself and I didn’t want to tackle a blog. Judi develops WordPress sites for small creative businesses, and after she had my basic site up (and much improved), she moved me slowly along, helping me to work it, pushing me to consult WordPress for Dummies for the back-up cliff notes. I ignored the implication (!) and pitched right in and I am now maintaining my own website/blog with intermittent help from Judi and the Dummies book. So blog up with Judi at New Tricks and get your business running. -Kristy Andersen, October 2009
Judi’s combination of expertise and insight are hard to beat. She brings great creativity to the Web design process. She also has tremendous knowledge of social media tools and how to use them to promote your business. Her attitude is always positive, and she is easy to work with. If you want a Web site that will work for your business, call Judi.
