And now: a promo!

Our WordPress book is on shelves now! The WordPress Visual QuickStart Guide from Peachpit Press is the go-to resource for all your WordPress-related questions, and we had a blast bringing it to life.

But what if you don’t have time to read the book and build a site yourself? Never fear! We’re all about spreading the WordPress love, and with that in mind we’re running a limited-time promo just for our clients and fans.

During the month of February, we will build you a custom WordPress theme from scratch for just $1000.

Seriously – $1000! That’s 1/3 off our regular price! Slots are filling up fast, so book now to make sure you get this deal. (Price is for a standard theme only; any customization beyond design/layout will run a bit extra.)

Itching for a copy of our new book, the WordPress Visual QuickStart Guide? Of course you are, and we’re here to help.

The book hits stores on November 23, and over the course of the next couple of weeks we’ll be giving away copies to celebrate.

For now, you can sign up for our email newsletter over on our Facebook page; one lucky winner will be chosen at the end of the day tomorrow (November 20). And while you’re there, become a fan of couldbe studios!

More to come…keep your eye on this space.

So changes are ahead, and afoot, and all parts in between. We’re restructuring the business, putting the finishing touches on the book (which you can totally pre-order right here), and trying out this new financial model I think they call “budgeting.”

Most importantly we’re turning our focus more intently than ever on making couldbe studios into the best web design studio it can be, starting by giving thanks to all our fabulous clients. If you haven’t checked out our portfolio in a while, click on over and take a look at some of the terrific small businesses we’ve had the pleasure of working with.

If you’re on Facebook or Twitter, feel free to add us! We’ll be posting updates in both places regularly, and who knows, we might just unveil a special offer or two.

CouldBe Studios client Tees.com was featured on the Shopify blog. Thanks JP!

We’re excited to announce the launch of molly mutt, the dog duvet company! Molly has been fabulous to work with, and we’re absolutely in love with her adorable designs. Almost makes us wish we had a dog!

CouldBe Studios is excited to welcome our very first employee, Kirk Fryrear!

We’ve recently taken on a lot more work, and we wouldn’t be able to handle the load without bringing on staff. This represents a significant change for us, it’s a little scary and very exciting. I’ve known and worked with Kirk for years on other projects, so he is a natural fit for us.

Kirk brings excellent video-editing skills to the table in addition to solid web-design credentials.

Welcome Kirk!
