My name is Suzanne Fyhrie Parrott and I am a Christian Graphic Designer, Web Designer and Marketing expert and work with clients to create successful marketing concepts to promote their services and products. I graduated from the University of Washington in 1981, and started OneWay Advertising and Design in 1988.
The biggest frustration (1997) when starting my journey into the world of Web Design was understanding the basics of HTML coding – the code that makes a web page work. To my delight I found HTML Goodies. I read everything they had on HTML, Javascript and more.
Besides Graphic Design, I am currently writing articles, blogs and writing as well as illustrating my first children’s book.

I do not possess a secret weapon to instantly achieve high rankings, sales and success. Successful marketing starts with a successful concept. The person you choose should not only understand your goals for your product or service, but how to effectively convey this to potential customers. While the desire for massive traffic may seem desireable, sometimes, more traffic is just that – more traffic. It is essential to your success to gain the right traffic. 10 good potentials is far better than 1000 tire-kickers.
My philosophy is a business owner should have a rudementary understanding of the basics of all forms of media, whether it be commercial printing, or the Internet. It is your business and you shouldn’t turn a blind eye simply because you don’t understand. You may never become an expert, but you will know what to look for when hiring a professional.
