Spell Check: Peek, Peak, and Pique

March 14, 2013 By Resa 1 Comment

I’m mildly obsessive compulsive about grammar and spelling. When I notice I’ve misspelled something or mistyped, I get more embarrassed than any normal person should and I’m pretty sure my pulse elevates just the slightest bit.

So when I see people say they’re giving their fans a “sneak peak” or saying that they’ve “peeked” too soon or that something “peaked” their interest, my head starts spinning and I just have to walk away from my computer and weep over my spelling bee study books.

Oh yeah. I was totally one of those kids.

Anyway, I thought I’d share a few tips that help me keep the pɪk (peek/peak/pique) phonetics straight.

My experience was great. I found you to be an incredibly talented designer with an eye for aesthetic elements and how they go together.

Resa worked quickly and efficiently to get my new site up and running. She was willing to answer all my questions and thoroughly explained the process and choices to me. She is very supportive and knowledgable. I am happy with how the site turned out. She did everything I asked her too.

I was hired by my most recent client for a well-paying gig from a resort in Carmel Valley. The talent agency said "They were looking for something a little different and really liked your website. They said it was very professional and would like to hire you for a show." It really helped out my career and you can't argue with those kinds of results. Thanks again for all the hard work you put in to this most excellent professional tool. I would recommend this service to all those looking to start or expand their business as I did.

I hired Resa to help me configure the Genesis theme on my wordpress. As a complete newbie I had difficulty in configuring the Genesis Child theme for my website and I had reached a point where I could no longer do it myself due to lack of technical knowledge. However, since I like to learn everything myself, I wanted to work with someone who not only magically put everything in the right order but also explain to me how did they resolve something that I could not. Resa did exactly that. She set up the website from where I left to make it look like the demo site and followed up with a brief skype call to explain to me further about the structure of WordPress and also answered my queries during the call.

Extremely pleased with the service I received and I am so happy for I now know who to call again when I am stuck in the future.

Thank you Resa!

Resa was incredible from the get-go. I was struggling to do the job I am not qualified to do, (design my own Wordpress site) and she found out and jumped right in, she wasn't wishy-washy or hesitant, she knew right away that she had the exact solutions I needed. She was direct and friendly, informative and kind, she gave great advice, she advised where appropriate and with a great sense of humor. If it were not for her time and effort, I would not have been able to have the perfect website, she created exactly what I asked for, she is a blessing, and you can not go wrong choosing her to design and create a website.
