I had the privilege of meeting our dear friend and client, Carla Stewart, at the 2009 ACFW Conference last year (picture to the left).

Carla is one of the sweetest women I know. She is kind, loving, gentle, sweet, and the

Finding the right person to design your home on the web isn't easy and shouldn't be. At Tekeme Studios, we do not believe we are fit for everyone. Our style and unique work ethic may not be right for someone, but could be a perfect match for someone else. For example, because we are Christians we do not work for companies who are advertising or selling something we do not feel comfortable

The Right Web Hosting Company

2010-02-08T14:35:00.005-05:00
