Montgomery, Ala. – Square Root Interactive, a Montgomery-based, full-service Web site design and development agency and Ektron ELITE Partner, selected Ashley Miller Designs, a local interior decorating business, as the winner of Project: Start-Up – a special program designed to give one newly formed business based in the River Region a complete Web site package valued at $10,000.
The Web site services to be delivered by Square Root will include site planning, design, development, search engine optimization, consulting, hosting and the ability to make site updates in-house using a content management system (CMS).
Ashley Miller, founder of Ashley Miller Designs, views this opportunity as a way to better market her business and to connect with her target audience.
“I was thrilled that Square Root Interactive picked me for this great opportunity,” Miller said. “I have a vision of using the Web site to take visitors through a redesign from start to finish. First impressions are critical in the interior design and decorating industry. Advertising is so important for a new business, and this Web site will help me make a professional first impression.”
Square Root Interactive created Project: Start-Up as a way to commemorate its 10th anniversary by giving back to the small business community.
“I know how challenging it can be to find the money and time to market a small business,” said Andy Martin, Square Root Interactive president and co-founder. “I am confident that Ashley Miller Designs will be able to effectively communicate and market its services to potential customers and the community.”
Miller, a Tampa Bay native, earned a bachelor’s degree in apparel merchandising and design from Auburn University in 2005. After working in the industry for four years, she founded her company April 10, 2009, and has worked with clients located in the River Region, Auburn, Gulf Shores and Atlanta.
