SIMPLY FABULOUS MAILING LIST is produced by a team of four Web designers who act as a resource for other Webmeisters to make their pages "simply fabulous." They also offer design and consulting services to businesses wishing to build Web sites.
The intro on the Web site says:
"Hi! Welcome to Simply Fabulous. We are a team of four friendly web designers. If you are interested in web design, you've come to the right place. We can help you in all areas of design, from designing a site for you to giving you the tools and knowledge to design your own site. We are constantly adding to and updating our content, so please bookmark us and visit often."
They provide examples of their work on the Web site, give out a weekly award, and offer other free tools for budding Webmasters. If you send them an e-mail, they'll even provide a free critique of your Web site and give you pointers on how to improve it.
The Simply Fabulous Design Team, Alex, Rebecca, E.J. and Martin, seem like pretty nice folks. There wasn't an archive available when I checked them out, so I had to draw most of my conclusions from what I found on the site.
Their portfolio gave examples of sites they had design for clients, along with links so that you could review the entire site. There were examples of their logo design work, too. There was information about each member of the team. But, of course, you want to know what resources are there for *you.*
Their well-designed resource page includes a Toolbox for your development needs and features like Hit Master, for generating traffic, Website 101 for planning a new design or re-design of a site, and articles by other experts in the areas of business, on- or off-line, along with links to things like cgi-scripting tutorials and JavaScript development. If you join Simply Fabulous's discussion group, housed on the e-Groups server, they promise you'll get a lot more resources and answers to your Web development questions.
Even if you don't subscribe to their regular newsletter, the Simply Fabulous team also offers to answer one-time questions you may have. Just drop them an e-mail, they say. And if you do need design work or consultation done, they say their prices are among the most reasonable around. Check 'em out.
