New GTWoman Website Launched

AlphaGeek Web Design was hired by Grand Traverse Woman of Traverse City to design a new website and The Geeks are proud to announce that the completed project officially launched on December 12, 2007.

New features include a photo gallery, calendar of events, and event registration with online payment options. Membership in the GTWoman website is free and registered members can purchase event tickets, make advertising payments and buy subscriptions to the publication.

“The new site is much more interactive for members and first-time visitors,” said Kerry Winkler, co-publisher of Grand Traverse Woman. “We look forward to being an integral part of women getting to know each other through the GTWoman website."

Another new feature on the site is a GTWoman forum where registered users can login and participate in discussions about upcoming events, do some networking and exchange ideas.
"We're encouraging women to share with other members if they will be coming to the next event," added Kandace Chapple, co-publisher of Grand Traverse Woman. "We’re looking forward to feedback from participants on events they attended as well.”

The new website has video clips from the "Today’s Woman" segments which are aired on TV 7&4 the first and third Thursday of each month.

“Providing media is a great way for website visitors to get to know the ‘real you’,” stated Marcie Szczubelek, partner with AlphaGeek Web Design. “Kandace and Kerry both have great on-air presence and their personalities truly come through in the videos provided.”

The GTWoman website was created using the GeekGroup which is a content management product provided by AlphaGeek Web Design. All content is easily updated by the Grand Traverse Woman staff using an online editor.

“Grand Traverse Woman provides such an important service to the women in business that we’re proud to be part of this website project,” stated Cindy Dickson, partner with AlphaGeek Web Design. “Our goal was to provide their members with a professional place to communicate online and we know we’ve succeeded.”

Partnership with Local IT Firm

AlphaGeek Web Design is celebrating five years in business as a leader in web development for small and medium-size businesses and, as part of their ongoing growth initiative, the company is announcing a new partnership with Chesley Consulting.

Forging key relationships with leading technology providers has given AlphaGeek Web Design and Chesley Consulting the ability to offer a much broader range of solutions to their customers.

AlphaGeek Web Design is a design firm that focuses on affordable web development for any size business. Over time, the company has built strong relationships with their clients who in turn look to the design team for additional help in all matters computer-related.

"Our clients continually ask us for assistance with computer repair and networking, which is a service we do not provide," stated Marcie Szczubelek, Principal with AlphaGeek Web Design. "In developing a professional relationship with Chesley Consulting, we can now comfortably refer our clients to the IT specialists we prefer."

Chesley Consulting was founded by industry leader Mark Avery in 2002 and, as a result of his commitment, has been a rapidly growing IT consulting firm. Chesley Consulting has truly developed the reputation as the preferred company for IT services in Michigan and Georgia.

"Our clients naturally assume that we provide web development services, which we do not," stated Mark Avery, founder of Chesley Consulting. "After reviewing the capabilities of various web development firms, we approached AlphaGeek Web Design and knew right away that our companies had the same goals."

Celebrating Five Years

On Tuesday, September 18, AlphaGeek Web Design hosted an Open House to celebrate five years in business. The Geek Open House was a smashing success with a great turnout of family, clients and friends. Food was catered by Feast Market & Cafe, which was wonderful, and Julienne Tomatoes created a beautiful cake complete with the AlphaGeek logo. Thank you to our friend Alan who tended bar and to Dennis Peruzzi for delivering beverages.

The Open House gave us an opportunity to say "thank you" to the people who helped our company find success. We're so fortunate to do what we love each and every day and to be surrounded by such great people!

Here's to another five years!
