Bernadot Studios is Growing
Wow!
What a summer this has been. Has time flown for you as quickly as it has for me?
Well, it’s been a while since I have made a post here because I have so many projects going on right now that this blog has taken a back-burner.
Here’s a quick run down of what we have been working on / doing:
- Bernadot Studios has embraced the WordPress platform with a big warm hug. In my opinion, this is the best software available for building user-managed websites. It provides a win - win - win platform for users - designers - and search engines.
- I Created a online guide for Premium WordPress Products (Themes, Plugins, Etc.) called WPforSale.com. I got serious about this site in June 2008 and it is proving to be a very helpful tool for WordPress fans. It is also generating a nice monthly revenue, that continues to grow, and exposing me to some of the best WordPress Developers and Theme Designers on the web. It also continues to expand my client base as well.
- I am collaborating on a new Premium WordPress Theme with another WordPress guru. This Theme will be released in August 2008. I’ll keep you posted. It is go=ing to be bananas!
- Lots of new sites coming about from client projects. The portfolio will be updated as soon as they are finished. Here is a quick list of some of the businesses out there that have selected us to help them build their websites:
- Wolf Industries, LLC
- JMP Associates
- Bath Fixer, Inc.
- The DuBois Group
- and there many more we are working on with our partners
So, much is abuzz here at Bernadot Studios. We are serving people all over the country and working with people all over the world to bring beautifully, custom-crafted websites to our clients.
Interested in having your website built with passion, experience and know-how? Please just send us a line and we’ll be in touch.

That’s all for now. More to come soon.
Enjoy your summer and keep cool.

New Website for Stein Counseling and Consulting Services

Live Site: EffectiveBehavior.com| Onalaska, WI
What a fun project this has been. I was approached by Ted Stein, President of Stein Counseling and Consulting Services of Onalaska, WI, to design a site that would better serve the needs of his customers and staff, while also generating passive income through the site. The new site delivers on all marks and is easily manageable by Ted and his staff.
How we did it!
When I say we, I have to give a big thank you to Bob and Tim Lindner from DigiSage. Their knowledge, expertise and professionalism made meeting the challenges of this site a breeze. They developed three additional modules (i.e. Workshop/Event Management, Information Request Form and Request Appointment Form) for the site and together we seamlessly integrated them into the WordPress framework. This helps Ted’s visitors easily sign up for events, classes and workshops right online, as well as quickly making appointments or receiving more information about a topic of interest.
As I mentioned, I built this site within the WordPress framework, giving Ted and his staff the ability to easily manage their site. This includes posting articles, updating pages and images, inserting video, etc.
In addition, I also introduced a banner ad management system, so Ted can sell and place ads throughout the site. The ad management administration is easy and painless and is a great way to attract advertisers and make money though affiliate programs. This was one of the major improvements over the old site, and will surely generate additional revenue for the business.
How does the new site compare to the old one?
- New fresh , professional design that allows visitors to easily locate the information they are looking for
- Site is designed using WordPress for easy site management
- Search Engine Friendly - Each page/post can be optimized
- Visitors can sign-up online for classes, events and workshops online - payment can be made with a credit card
- Secured forms are used to help visitors make appointments or request more information
- A banner ad management system is in place to sell, place and track ads with ease
- Amazon products can easily be added to the site to help people find inexpensive solutions as recommended by professionals

Spy On Your Competition and Yourself Now for Free
Did you know that there is a free utility on the internet that allows you to monitor a particular subject, and receive email updates to notify you? This is very powerful stuff!
This tool can be be used for fun, but it also a very important business tool when used properly.
The tool I am referring to is called Google Alerts. Yes, Google has done it again, and once again they offer their services free of charge. That means there is absolutely no reason you should not be using this tool to find news, information and more about your own business (find out what others are saying), your competition and your industry.
Using the tool is as simple as going to Google Alerts Website, and filling-out the quick form. It could not be easier, so go there now and try it out.
