We have a new client that wanted to move their web hosting and e-mail.  We set up most client’s e-mail in Google Apps for Your Domain.  However, this client is only using their webmail feature and is not using any mail client on their computer to download e-mail.

Our old method was to download the e-mails to Outlook Express, then export them but this client just wants to continue using a web-based e-mail and their mobile phone for checking and sending e-mail.

So, we set up a Google Apps account and created an e-mail address that was different from the one we wanted to pull from.  For example, we set up the Google Apps account at mydomain.com.  We created an e-mail address such as othermail@mydomain.com.   We opened the e-mail address, othermail@mydomain.com, clicked on Settings, Accounts, and set up the POP settings for their e-mail account (myemail@mydomain.com) at the other server.  Once we clicked Next, the e-mails all were pulled into the online e-mail account.  This is before made any DNS setting changes for the MX  records.

So, now all the client’s e-mails are in the new account and we can change all the MX settings and the client is happy!

You were very responsive to our needs, professional in work, and did just a beautiful job on the entire layout. Your creativity was outstanding. Also, your optimization of our site has increased my traffic flow by at least 50%.

A special Thank You to Judy, Doug and the team for actually listening to our request and making it happen.

The Pink Bee, located in the historic West End of Greenville on August Street, recently contracted with Giraffe Web to add e-commerce to their existing website.  As an existing client of Giraffe Web since the beginning of 2003, we have developed and redesigned the Pink Bee website three times over the past 6 years.

Here is what Joanna has to say, “The Pink Bee, a Lilly Pulitzer shop, has relied on Judy at Giraffe Web for years; we are a team. She quickly grasped what I was trying to portray and was quick to respond. She even changes the seasonal fashions on my site without my having to tell her. Judy just made the site an e-commerce site. It is easy for us to maintain, not intimidating and easy to navigate. Her prices are reasonable. She is sharp and fun to work with.”

“Judy has been an absolute jewel to work with on the Heller Service Corps website. After a very short meeting she immediately grasped the frustrations and needs that we were experiencing and put together a website that was so easy to navigate and very engaging. The website has made it much more convenient for our students to sign up for volunteer opportunities in the 44 agencies in which we serve. Because of her creativity we now have a website that is no longer drab and hard to navigate. She has elevated our program to the level where students want to visit and keep up with the latest news regarding the activities in our organization. Judy’s work ethic is top notch. She is quick to answer questions, return telephone calls and make on-site visits when a situation arises. I am so glad that we have made the connection with Giraffe Web Development and Design!”
