Resources We Love – in addition to our partners above of course!

(We don’t get compensation for promoting these guys – we just think you’ll like them too!)

Crowdsourced creative work. Need a logo, stationery or advertising designed inexpensively? We recommend crowdSPRING www.crowdspring.com – a community of graphic artists from all over the world who will submit designs for your project for one flat fee (starting at $200). They average 110 entries per project and even offer an unconditional money back guarantee if you don’t like any results enough to select one. We used them for OUR logo design and had a great experience.

Website domains and more. We like GoDaddy for their pricing and service. As an ICANN-accredited domain registrar, Go Daddy has more names under management than any other registrar, offers products at prices up to 70% less than the competition and supports them all with 24/7 live customer service.   http://www.godaddy.com
