Opening the Doors
Fred December 29th, 2006
While I was reluctant to take this step initially, I do have to say that I’m very excited about the decisions to “officially” start building websites for others.
For those that don’t know me, my name is Fred Grant and I am the creator of CollegeHelpers.com. CollegeHelpers.com is a business I started when I was working at Babson College. It’s an online job board that helps college students find part-time off-campus jobs. I actually contract with colleges around the country to manage their posting process, save their staff time and improve the job hunting process for both students and employers. The short story is that running the business became a full-time job and financially allowed me to leave my post as Director of Campus Life at Babson. I now live in my hometown of Houlton, Maine with my wife and three children and make my living on the Internet.
I am passionate about building websites, integrating new technologies and driving traffic to my sites, but until just recently I have focused exclusively on my sites. Friends and acquaintances have frequently asked if I would be interested in building a site for them and I found that there is a real need for quality web design in Maine. Not just sites that look professional, but also get noticed by the search engines and drive qualified traffic to their sites.
Having recently hired someone to work with me on CollegeHelpers.com I now have more available time to build sites for others on a limited basis.
So… If you are interested in building a website, opening an on-line store, updating an existing site or just getting some advice - pick up the phone and give me a call. You can reach me at 877-256-5474 ext. 703 or feel fee to email me at fred@maine-webdesigner.com.
