			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://dbala.com/lipstick-on-a-pig/esremodeling/" rel="attachment wp-att-336"><img src="http://dbala.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/esremodeling.gif" alt="" title="Eric Schultz Remodeling" width="640" height="480" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-336" /></a></p>
<p>&#8230;yeah, so as soon as I saw the business card, I knew we had to go BOLD! </p>
<p>and the result: <a href="http://remodelingberkscounty.com" target="_blank">RemodelingBerksCounty.com</a></p>
<p>Seriously, if you meet Eric Schultz and hear his story, you will be amazed &#8211; and he does incredible work too.</p>
<p>So we started out by finding a domain name that fits, and I was surprised to find that remodelingberkscounty.com was available. This was an early win for us and it set the tone for the rest of the project. We sat and talked &#8211; and talked and talked &#8211; he showed me his portfolio, explained how he works &#8211; he actually told me the best way to put up the child-gate so as not to damage the plaster in my old house. Tolu (my son) hates the gate!</p>
<p>Once we had a rapport going, he literally left everything else to me. </p>
<blockquote><p>I was &#8220;lucky&#8221; that he LOVED the design after the first round &#8211; that usually never happens, actually, that has never happened to me.</p></blockquote>
<p>Eric came to me through a referral from a buddy at church (thank you Eddie) and I knew I couldn&#8217;t let him down. The good thing about referrals is that, there is already a level of trust there and you don&#8217;t have to do a &#8220;dog-and-pony&#8221; show to gain some credibility.</p>
<p>I like Eric because he likes to keep things simple, and he knows what he wants.</p>
<p>The funnest part of this project was writing all the copy for the site.<br />
Check out the <a href="http://remodelingberkscounty.com/works/" target="_blank">WORKS</a> page.<br />
A line that I am particularly proud of is: </p>
<blockquote><p>If your house is a pig, and you need some lipstick, I’m your man.</p></blockquote>
<p>I can help you too&#8230; <a href="/contact/">say whaaa&#8230;</a></p>
