Launched My Professional Website

I have finally launched my business website.  It’s not complete quite yet but I have been working hard on it for a while.  For the past several weeks I had to put it on the back burner with everything going on with Gabby.  Since MommaDJane.com is my family blog where I share mostly stories and updates about our family I wanted a more business/professional landing page to list my expertise and passions in the work field.  My new personal page is DwanPerrin.com which I owe thanks for the design to Erica from TechnoMom Designs.  She did a fabulous job!

Not only is DwanPerrin.com a landing page to tell more about myself and link to my social media networks, I also wanted to provide testimonies and my resume for potential clients to see.  I am still adding a full write up on my About page and adding in testimonials but you can get a glimpse at how it looks so far.  I know sometimes when a company is looking to hire help they will have one person in house search for resumes and then take to their HR department or someone else to make the final decision.  That’s why I thought it would be a great idea to include my resume to be downloaded.  That way a company can print it to review if they’d like.

Instead of just adding a Microsoft Word document to be downloaded, I thought it was safer to protect it somehow so it couldn’t be edited.  I decided a PDF conversion would work best.  When using the PDF converter it was super simple and kept my resume in the same layout and alignment it was in as a Microsoft Word document.  Have you ever used CreatePDF for your documents?

I also added a blog to DwanPerrin.com titled Events.  This is where I’ll write announcements about conferences I plan to attend and work events as well as give a recap afterward.  I love the Events Calendar that Erica added for me so I can list conferences, meetings and other appointments as far in advance as I’d like.  When an event is listed on the calendar I can link to the website of the event or my own blog post announcement.

Do you have a professional website?  What do you think of mine?  Am I missing anything?
