There is just no way that this website would exist in its current form if not for Brian Deckard and Deckard & Company. (Plus, I would be completely insane!). Before starting on the website for AFS Speaker Management, I had hired Brian to work on four websites for our speakers as well as a website for an external business associate. So I already knew the level of expertise that Brian possesses and I knew we would end up the the exact website I wanted. He understands what speakers need and he listened to me when I wanted some specific functionality. And even though I threw him some curves, he found out how to make things happen for me so that I could have exactly what I wanted. I love the fact that I can get my domains from him as well as my hosting. And he is also a great resource for general graphic design of business papers and if that wasn’t enough, he is also my print provider. AND can I say that he is one of the nicest people I have the privilege of having on the AFS team.
Visit: PicMonkey
PicMonkey is my go-to graphics creating/editing program. It is very easy to use and the paid version ($33 per year) gives me all of the functionality I need. It uses layers like Photoshop, and there are a lot of bells and whistles without the expense or complications of Photoshop. All of the slider and page graphics on this site were created with PicMonkey.
