The woman in this video found this Lion in the wild as a cub while it
was very ill and she rescued it and nursed it back to health. Once the
lion grew large the woman brought the lion to a zoo so it would have a
better home. This is a video of the Lions reaction when the woman who
rescued it comes to visit. You will be amazed!

RECENT BLOG POST
A Professional Website is Your #1 Marketing Tool
By Josh Lindquist
Many of our clients ask us where should they focus their attention in
the area of marketing. Our response and the response of any
knowledgeable marking company is to invest in a professionally designed
sales website.
Why a website?
Because the modern sales model for where to direct potential customers
is "Contact Us or go to Our Website." I am sure you have heard this on
tv or on the radio or in some kind of sales collateral such as a
brochure. This direction makes your website the base for all your
marketing efforts. In fact, customers now expect to be able to visit a
web site before they make a decision on where they will spend their $.
If you do not have a professional sales website, you will lose their
business and if you do not have a website at all..... I won't even
mention how much respect and business you will lose in your market.
Why a professionally designed website?
Because a regular web site will get you one place with potential and
current clients - No Where! Many companies try to cut the budget low and
get a website whipped up as quick and as cheap as they can. Here is the
question to ask yourself. When is the last time you knew you were going
to have contact with a potential customer or client and you showed up
with messy hair and an outfit that was all wrinkly and stinky? You
would never do that! Then why do it with your web site? Fact, 80% or
more of all customers visit a website before doing a business
transaction. Needless to say, it is important to have a website that
reflects the best possible image of your company, this is achieved by
professional graphic design that reinforces your brand or corporate
image.
Why a Sales website?
A sales website works like the "Slick Willy" who can sell anyone
anything......You know the ketchup Popsicle to a lady with white
gloves, a refrigerator to village of Alaskan Eskimos... Ok, we all know
I am kidding because honest business rooted in integrity is a must for
any company that desires to grow. But, have you ever been to a store
and you were just browsing and did not plan to buy anything, but you
talked to that one sales person and before you knew it, you bought the
whole store? This is what a professionally designed sales web site can
do for you, they convert the visitors of your site into customers.
Important evaluation for business of all sizes?
What is the point of getting all the traffic in the world to your
website if you are not converting and winning the business of your
visitors? (This is another thing that do-it-yourself or budget websites
will never be able to do). Think about the difference a professionally
designed sales website can make for your company. Think of all the
sales you are losing by not having the best site possible on the
web...... You make the choice with your company's website, give
business away to your competitors who have a great site, or get your
act together on the web.

Clietns Testimonial
"Quist Designs did an outstanding job
re-creating our website! They did exhaustive research on our
competition and made fabulous recommendations on what would cause us to
stand out among the rest. They really took the time to find out what
makes us who we are and how to visually present us to potential clients
in the most impressive light. They were easy to work with,
hard-working, quick to respond to our requests and always gave service
with a smile! The work they did optimizing our presence on the web has
paid rich dividends. Not only does it seem like everyone is finding us,
thanks to Quist Designs, they are liking what they see! We highly
recommend Quist Designs! We love them almost as much as we love our new
website! "
