QR Codes

We all know that one of the keys to great SEO is making sure you keep your website updated, new and fresh. Whether you do this with a blog, or you change your homepage with new offers, coupons or new products, it serves to show Google that your site is “alive.” For many small businesses in particular, this is a real challenge.

So you already have great, fresh content on your site—what’s next? Do you know what is coming that may benefit your small business?

Have you heard of QR codes yet? They are the wave of the future and if you don't have one, you need one! Contact us for more info at www.creativealliancedesign.com

I am now offering these adorable brag books to show off the little treasures in your life.  These small 3x3 accordion style books slip right into your purse to show off to all your friends.  Great for the coffee table too!  Give as gifts to grandma and grandpa, or keep them all to yourself ... they are so cute, you may just have to!  These happen to girlie templates, but I also have boy ones that I will post later.  To order, just message me and I’ll give you all the details.  I also have these for sale at my Etsy Store-Creative Alliance Design.  The average price is $18 per book with a 2 book (same book) minimum order.

If you are a photographer and are interested in purchasing these as templates for use in your studio, just send me a message.
