A Quick Look at 2018
From “0 to 60” in 8 months
After many years of freelancing, I began to pursue a lifelong dream of starting my own business. When my wife and I married in October 2017, we both sensed that this would happen. Tashia is also an excellent photographer and designer, and together we wanted to start a business that would enable us to be together. As Christians we always want to keep Proverbs 3:5-6 in our lives and consciously commit everything we do to God and his will for our lives. In April 2018 we filed all the paperwork for Pee-Aye Creative and hit the ground running with
We began by offering website design, graphic design, and photography, but have since grown to include marketing, copywriting, SEO, templates, ecommerce stores, and so much more. We absolutely love helping small businesses and nonprofits, and especially meeting new people.
Client Growth
We are extremely grateful for the many clients we are privileged to serve. We never expected to grow so quickly, and the reviews are so wonderful! We continue to meet with clients in person (sometimes traveling many hours) and provide this rare and special interaction that clients really appreciate.
Child Themes & Layout Packs
In September, we decided to try something new. After hundreds of hours of work we released our first Divi child theme/layout pack called Divi Paving. We were shocked and excited at the success and feedback and have created three more child themes before the end of the year.
Divi White Label Website Design
We also have been pleased to offer white label website design for other agencies, and are very excited about the new contracts we’ve established in 2018. It’s so much fun looking back at the many sites we were able to create for others.

Hi Nelson. Congratulations on your business success in 2018, and the baby on the way too!
I’m interested in your Divi white label design service. With all the success you’re having growing your client base and offering so many services, and soon to be extra busy as new parents, I assume you need to hire other designers to help out. Is that the case?
If so, how do you manage and oversee the work they’re doing for you and your white label design clients? If I used your white label design service, but it’s not you actually doing the work, can I feel as confident in the end result I’d be receiving, both in terms of the design and the Divi set up and any additional CSS if necessary?
Thanks for your reply, and best of luck in 2019.
Hi Brian,
Thanks for commenting and for the well wishes!
To answer your question, we do not outsource anything. I do most of the work, and my wife helps out in various areas. I believe in the future if/when we grow, we would hire and train team members and manage them rather than have a lot of random freelancers. Since that is future speculation, I can’t say for sure except that I would hope the quality would be maintained whether I do the work or oversee others because ultimately it would be my stamp of approval before it goes out the door. If we grow and have a team in a few years I would want them to be close enough to be able to put their faces and bios on the website with ours. Until then, all white label design work will be handled directly with me.
I hope that helps. Let me know if you want to discuss this more.
