About Us
Well hello there and welcome to Serving Social!
Before we say too much about Serving Social, we should probably introduce ourselves.
We are Taughnee Stone and Marianne Richmond, two seasoned purveyors of goods and services on the social web who have most recently put our collective hearts, minds and talents together to found Serving Social. What is Serving Social you ask? Or we hope you asked because we made a video…..
So as we collaborated on various projects over the last several years we began a dialogue that involved a lot of the ideal…..defining it, finding it, building it, revising it, doing it. And now we are launching it.
Serving Social…
Social Media, Web Design, and Serving Social Training. Our menu of services is on this page. We are intentionally limiting our Serving Social clients to restaurants, bars, cafes, coffee shops and all other establishments that serve food ans drink to paying customers. We think that the restaurant business embodies just about everything that we love about what we do….creating kick ass web and program designs that aren’t about us, but about you.
We aren’t offering templates or websites that are included for free if you buy a lifetime subscription to a delivery service or gift certificate package…..you have to fill out at least enough of our client intake form so that we both understand what your are trying to accomplish and what you are serving…whether it’s a simple Facebook page or a new web design we use your ingredients, prepared to order, remixed till extraordinary. YUM!
