Time Saver - Wufoo
If there has been one service that I could pick that has saved me the most time, it would be Wufoo.com. It has been a great service on many levels and whenever I get a request for a form, I turn to wufoo. It allows you to create forms with ease and integrate them into your site. It also has the function of collecting money depending on which option is checked. The whole service and experience is great.
Every so often I get a thank you note or a holiday card from them thanking me for using them. What makes this a unique experience is the notes are always hand written. I can’t imagine what it would be like to have to hand write all of there thank you cards. As a customer, this goes along way and let’s me know that I’m valued. It’s even worth noting that the hand writting isn’t all that great but plays into the whole personal, human feel. I even got a cute little sticker on the front of the card. We’ll done Wufoo, I would refer you to anyone.
Sorry for the bad photos.
Concept Paintings for Star Wars
Because I’m a huge Star Wars fan I have to post about this. It’s been great that my kids are now getting into it. Mostly my six year old girl but also my 3 year old boys. Give them a couple of more years and I’m sure they will know more about it than me. My girl already brings things to my attention that I never knew.
