Keene, NH, June 7, 2008 – Diana Taylor, Top Dog of Pug At The Beach joined forces with web designer Megan Strickland to create a new website for Pug At The Beach. The site went live on June 7, 2008.
Offering “Hope, inspiration, and fun from an island dog philosopher,” the new site is representative of the Pug At The Beach commitment to offering insightful yet fun tools of transformation for people choosing to grow into their best and most creative selves.
“The creation of this new site has been a joyful process,” said Taylor. “Because Megan’s vision of Pug is so in tune with the message of Pug At The Beach, collaboration was effortless and fun. Megan’s command of what is technologically possible is impressive. Couple this with a desire to make the site a fun, interactive experience, and creating the new Pug At The Beach site wasn’t work, it was play. We were just two people having fun.”
"Diana has been wonderful," said Strickland. "It's great to feel like I'm working with her, not just for her. She's really become more than a client; she's a mentor and a friend. And it's very fulfilling to get to work on a project like Pug At The Beach—to feel that I am, in my small way, helping to get the Pug message out. The book is a quick read, but it stays with you. We could all use a little Pug in our lives."
