Résumé »

WELCOME

Thanks for visiting Judy Asman Communication. If you need a writer who has a knack for enticing audiences into doing what you want them to do, or if you need a Web site designer who's going to give you results instead of a headache, then you've come to the right place!

Based in Southern California, I specialize in food and leisure writing, site development and marketing.

My articles have appeared in regional magazines and guidebooks. I am the founder and editor of The Astute Recorder | Food. Leisure. Preservation.—an online publication, which I conceptualized and built from the ground up. I research and write about the U.S. Presidents' favorite foods and lighthouse travel. My talented contributors include Phillip Roberts, who writes about Polynesian travel, and Chef Jud Kilgore who covers pastries.

For Web site development, my rates are competitive. I specialize in Dreamweaver for custom design or altering Wordpress templates if you're looking to blog and maintain your site on your own in the future. As for search engine optimization, I've demonstrated proven results with high page ranking for relevant key words. I am savvy in the areas of social networking. You can learn more about me by visiting my portfolio or reading my résumé. :)
