Client Highlight: Nicole Hensley

Nicole's highlight is our first for the Frida template. We love how she incorporated the blue and orange throughout the site. If you'd like to check it out go to http://www.nicole-hensley.com/

SIMPLY SPLASH CONTEST:
Just a reminder that anyone who orders a new individual site or service with portfoliositez is automatically entered to win a Simply Splash splash page by Kim. If you haven't seen her work check it out at simplysplash.com. She definitely has talent and can create a splash page that draws your potential clients into your site! :-)
Company News:
- All sites that have been ordered have been setup. We've been having difficulties getting our emails through to @yahoo.com email addresses lately, so if you haven't received your welcome email and have a yahoo email account please email us. If possible please provide an alternate email address we can send your information to.
- Our portfoliositez.com team is growing! We are currently training Tammie who is going to be working with support and customer service. We are trying to stream line our customer service so as we grow we can still provide the level of service you have come to expect. If you have any questions or support issues please submit a ticket through our support system to ensure a fast response from one of us.
- Feedback is very important to us! If you have any suggestions on how we can improve our product or service we'd love to hear from you! Also if you have any suggestions on what help articles and/or videos you would find helpful please share :-)

FRIDA (standard) Launches!

Frida has officially launched!

Check out the posts below to see if you and her are a good match ;-) You can order either the standard or premium version directly from our site. All premium orders will be setup with the standard version of the site so you can start working on them and will be upgraded to the premium next month when it becomes available :-)

COMPANY NEWS:
As you all know Jamie and I pride ourselves on being able to deliver fast and friendly customer service. To ensure we maintain the quality of service you've come to expect we are hiring on a new Portfoliositez team member this summer! We'd like to welcome Tammie, she will begin training the next couple months. Because of this we ask that if you have any support issues please submit a ticket at http://www.portfoliositez.com/support/ . This will ensure the fastest response and the ability for Tammie to review all support questions/issues we have for training purposes.

have a wonderful weekend!
Jen =)

SNEAK PEAK: FRIDA

We would like to introduce Frida (Standard Version).

We will be officially releasing Frida, the standard version, on Friday the 16th. Stay tuned next week as we release the different faces of Frida. She has many personalities!
The sites will be setup and installed on a first come first serve basis, with the earlier orders being delivered on Friday 16th, the launch day. Below is all the details.

If you are ordering the premium, which will be upgraded for free as soon as it is available next month, you can use the coupon code FRIDA5OFFPREM to get the first month for the standard price.

If you order the standard version of the site and choose to upgrade later there will be a $20 upgrade fee (so if you plan to upgrade as soon as it is available you should order the premium to start with)

Frida Features:
- taped corners (option in the admin)
- adjustable image border
- possible color changing background
- ability to upload a custom background
- all standard template features such as music, unlimited galleries, unlimited text sections, etc.

WHAT ABOUT PREMIUM?
So here's the deal. As many of you know I, Jen, lost some time due to my pregnancy. Well, I am officially back. Whoohoo! Now it is catch up time ;-) We decided that it was only fair to release Frida, the standard version, so you can see if this is the right template for you just in case you are waiting to see it to decide what template is right for you. We are still working on our shopping cart which will launch next month. If you like Frida and don't have the need for a shopping cart or video gallery then the standard service is the site for you. If you would like the premium we've got you covered.
You can purchase the premium version of the site, and use the coupon FRIDA5OFFPREM to receive $5 off your first month for the standard price. We will then set you up with the standard version of the site and upgrade you next month for free when the shopping cart is complete. :-)

Two things:
- To receive the free upgrade you must order the premium service.
- The coupon code for $5 off is only good for the premium service.

have a great weekend!
Jen =)
