While working on an html email design for a client, I was playing with curly quotes to add some extra interest and got to wondering which fonts other people love for their curly quotes. So I asked on Twitter and I got lots of great replies on how to pick a font for curly quotes. Yay.

I've been working under The Write Exposure name since 2000. Originally, I was doing a lot of ghost writing for client newsletters. Within about 6 months, I'd moved into HTML email newsletter design. By 2001, the business was more than 50% design, but by then I was attached to the business name. I had business cards, after all ;-). So, I continued building a business called The Write Exposure. But, the name proved hard to spell over the phone, so I registered DesignDoodles.com so that I could give people an alternate, easy-to-spell name.

Karen Field was in the market for a professional website design so she could launch a serious business site. She planned to use this website to provide her clients with new content, promote her products, and grow her newsletter list. She needed the site to be easy-to-update so that she could make updates regularly on her own, and she also wanted the site to help her rank in the search engines.

Brand Dame Lyn Chamberlin needed a new identity. She was ready for a professional website, blog, and email newsletter design–and that’s exactly what we gave her.

The new skyePR.com site makes use of her brown and orange color scheme and provides a fresh, clean showcase for her branding work. Using an event calendar plugin, Lyn’s able to easily deliver an up-to-date speaking event calendar to her website visitors. The site also generates an updated, random list of posts from her blog to ensure there’s up-to-the-minute content for her website visitors.

C.J. Hayden wanted to create a hub site for all of her projects. She planned to use WordPress as her CMS as she had for other sites in the past.

She had an illustration for her front page and asked us to complete the WordPress coding and design a layout for the internal pages. She wanted something that made use of layers and had a textured appeal.

A local Realtor needed a website for properties she had listed in a specific community in North Topsail Beach (on Topsail Island, NC). We created an easily-updated website that she was able to add and subtract listings from as she gained and sold listings.
