I recommend Gratzer Graphics highly. I thought I knew what I wanted for the cover of my book, but Gratzer had better ideas. It gave me two separate possible covers that were right on point. I figured out the concept of the first cover immediately and loved it. The same was true for the concept of the second cover (the one with a mother holding her toddler superimposed over the profile of the child). That cover was not what I originally had in mind, yet I found it very powerful. Deciding which of the two concepts to choose was difficult because both were excellent. More...

What makes a great website?
A great website:
• continually brings in people who don't already know about your organization or business;
• engages them;
• has a professional design;
• makes it easy for them to find what they need and have them take a desired action (such as donate or buy);
• is mobile friendly and fast, so that it ranks better in search results and doesn't frustrate users;
• is accessible to all users, regardless of any physical or cognitive disability;
• is easy for the client to update.
