After doing a little research I've found that some very talented web design and marketing people live and work right here in the Twin Cities. Talented professionals always seem to gravitate to other talented professionals so it makes perfect sense to pursue a barter relationship of this kind.

By way of introduction my name is Kevin Thomas and I'm a business advisor working with the principal of the salon. She desires to keep her expansion plans confidential. As far as the website is concerned she doesn't want anyone outside of her trusted business circle to know about it, until it goes live.

The principal has been in the salon business, starting in Uptown, for a long time and is regarded as one of the top stylist - colorist - operators in the Twin Cities. She's very well known and word of mouth advertising has built her business to the extent that there is about a six week wait to see her personally. Now, she wishes to leverage that reputation to expand her business. One of her priorities is to have a new website built, tested and operating in the very near future.

The salon's current site is rough, somewhat amateurish and exists only as a placeholder. The new site must be unique (no cookie cutter 'out of the box') without being too glitzy. We'd like it to incorporate contemporary themes while at the same time being easy to use, intuitive, interactive and fast loading. Our vision is for the site to be very relevant and informational for the user. It should tell the story of the salon and its founder, and then allow the user to interact by making a reservation request or to initiate and complete a product purchase transaction.

In the main her clientele is female, wealthy and very busy. They hold their time to be precious and they spend it judiciously. Her website should especially appeal to the sensitivities of people like that. It should be designed with SEO in mind, but not primary. Local Google searches ideally should return page one results, but searches originating outside of the twin cities trade area are of less interest [at this time]. It should be built to function in as many of the older browsers as possible while looking good and working well on a cell phone/PDA.

After the design and build work has been completed we would like to have full use of the art work, copy and fonts as well as templates which will allow us to add content to the site at will.

I can promise you that anybody would be very pleased to have their hair style and color designed and performed by this talented lady. As I mentioned earlier, reservations for personal appointments with her typically need to be made six weeks in advance, despite the fact that her prices are among the highest in this market. It's so true that the finest services and products are always in demand.
