Lynn Amos, Creative Director/Principal Fyne Lyne Ventures

Fyne Lyne Ventures supplies custom website and graphic design services to small- and medium-sized businesses. Many of our clients put up a website several years ago and now it no longer represents the company they have become and doesn’t speak to their customers and potential customers in a way that will help drive sales. My 25+ years of design experience has taught me the value of an initial, comprehensive discovery process so that I can understand the “personality” of my client’s company as well as who their customers are and how they think. We do both the design and coding of our websites in house which makes for a more efficient production process and keeps costs down.

We create both traditional HTML websites as well as complete websites on the WordPress platform. Originally a blogging tool, WordPress is now a full-fledged content management system (CMS) that allows our clients to not only blog, but update the rest of their website’s pages, add photos, audio, and video by themselves without paying ongoing maintenance fees.

Often clients come to us frustrated that their website can not be found in a Google search. Fyne Lyne partners with an excellent search engine optimization (SEO) specialist who also manages pay per click (PPC) campaigns such as Google Ad Words. Contrary to popular belief SEO does not have to be expensive and in many cases, when done well, precludes the need for a PPC campaign.

Another request we often receive is for help with Social Media. “I know I should be doing it, but I don’t know where to start,” is the lament. Fyne Lyne partners with tried and true social media strategists, writers, and virtual assistants so that once a strategy is in place, there is always the option to have someone else write the blog post or schedule the week’s tweets to save our clients some valuable time. We tie the social media efforts in closely with the website design and function so that all pieces work together to support a unified marketing presence.

That unified presence, or “brand,” is further reinforced when we continue to work with our clients on their logo design (done before the website), company brochure, catalog, and sell sheets.

I love what I do for a living. Recently when a particular health and wellness company website was launched for the first time the company owner said to me, “I feel like I’ve given birth!” It’s moments like these that are truly rewarding.

I studied fine art (drawing and painting) and received a BA from theUniversityofNew Mexico, then studied at theSchoolofVisual Artsafter moving toNew York City. Before starting Fyne Lyne Ventures five and a half years ago I held several positions in small, privately-owned companies as Print Production Manager, Art Director and Marketing Director.
