After going back and forth with myself for days as to whom to choose, I am happy to announce that the winner of the "It's a Domain Christmas Giveaway!" is:
Kevin is a college student and is welcoming his first child due May. As anyone who has been in this position knows: it's about to get tough for this family. Congratulations, Kevin & family!
Choosing the winner was a hard choice to make but I have a secret to tell you: no one is going away empty handed. Everyone who entered will be contacted and given either development credit, a free logo/banner set, a "Content Ready" Wordpress Setup, or other services at no charge from me depending on the expressed need. There were 18 submissions; every story and need touched me that I just have to do something for everyone.
It is an honor to do this for everyone and here's hoping to be able to do this every year!
This Christmas I wanted to give someone's project or business a boost to help them reach that next level. It started with the $1,000 Christmas Giveaway in which I was offering $1,000 credit for my web development / graphic design services. After reaching out to several other individuals who own and maintain related companies, I was able to come up with several additional items to be added to the overall giveaway that together will help an individual achieve more than their personal finances allow. This is a "Pay It Forward" for me and I am honored to combine my resources and talents to make this possible.
One individual will be chosen to recieve all items listed below.
I am excited to announce the following companies who have come together to sponsor the Christmas Giveaway and to help me make someone's Christmas extra special this year. It's going to be a great Christmas for someone!
"Summing up the news used to be called aggregators but today the aggregators, like real news, are nothing more then purveyors of paid poop. That's because when one accepts advertising, when one accepts free trips or free domains... it's impossible to be objective."
I'm not knocking people who accept advertising to help pay for their blogs/sites. Not at all. I am referring to blog posts that appear like credible opinions from the author but are not. I am referring to domain services with less than credible backgrounds and the people who pimp them for a quick buck. ShamWOW!
Web development can be expensive. That is why I am giving away $1,000 in web development and/or graphic design credit to one lucky individual, company or organization this Christmas. You can nominate yourself or someone you know but I really want this to go to someone who needs it but otherwise could not afford it for whatever reason.
The credit can be used for any web development or graphic design service that I provide including print work, custom PHP development and more. (see full list of services here)
To enter yourself or nominate someone you know please send a few paragraphs introducing yourself and tell me how you would use the credit to start up, expand or improve your business or project website.
