Website

I am technologically challenged. I don't try to hide it, it isn't my fault, I come from a long line of technologically challenged people. Until I had children of my own, I was convinced that the reason my parents had kids (long before remotes were available) was so they had someone to get up and change the TV channels.

About a year ago, my family went from having no TV at all to having a large screen with DVR and Blu Ray. This involves three remotes. My daughter explained to me which remote goes with which electronic miracle. Then my son explained it to me again....about 13 more times. I still have to call one of them in from the next room to change the channel.

So when the time came that I needed a website... for me, it was undoubtedly the most unnerving part of starting a business. Not only did I have to ask someone for something when I didn't even know what I needed, I had to trust this person to deliver what I couldn't communicate, because my business depended on it.

Enter Simone Russell. After about two months of her patiently replying to my endless emails which she had to dumb down to about a fourth grade level, I put her out of her misery (or began it) and hired her to create Cherry City's ecommerce website.

Since she is in Austraila and I am in the USA, I was a bit concerned about how communication would work, but it was really no problem. We have been able to do everything via email where she explains the things I need to understand and doesn't bore me with the things I don't. Plus she uses really cute words like "lovely" and "dear." Last night I got a peek at the website's progress and cannot express how happy I am with it. She truly has a creative eye. It is rare that a person can be both technical and artistic. If you are in need of a website, I cannot recommend her enough. Below are some websites she has done. You can contact Simone at studio@simonerussell.com
