Recently we were contacted by our friend Suzanne over at Amelia Island Web Design to help transition her business and clients to a new service provider, as her path heads in a new, more artistic direction (See her excellent work here). This week she officially announced that Mixed Media will now be providing full web services to her clients, and we are excited to fill that role!

Here is what she had to say:

“After long and careful consideration, I have decided to sell and transfer my web design business so that I can concentrate on becoming a full time artist. I am transferring all my clients over to Mixed Media, a wonderful company on Amelia Island who provides printing, design and websites. They are a full service company who can help you with your complete branding needs, including social networking. We are both excited about the transition and invite you to visit their website at: mixmed.com and become a fan if you’re not one yet at facebook.com/mixedmedia32034″
