Cara Creates is owned and operated by me, Cara Sonnier.
I’ve been a doodler since I could remember….on the backs of notebooks in school, on napkins in restaurants and even on my shoes when no paper was available. I didn’t do anything serious about it till college, where I discovered that I could combine my computer/math/science interests with my love of art and design into one.
As most do, I started small. My very first website was for my own wedding. I posted pictures, links to our gift registry and stories about us. Then in 2005 I started professionally – setting up my own business website, bidding on projects and advertising. At first it was a part time occupation as I had two very small children at home. But, thankfully, six years later, this is my full-time passion.
I live in southern Louisiana, in the heart of Cajun country, with my very supportive husband and two fantastic daughters. When I’m not designing websites, business cards and logos, I spend my time divided among my favorite things: reading, watching movies, listening to music, crocheting/knitting, jewelry making, soaping, genealogy and traveling.
I code projects by hand and am familiar with HTML, CSS, Javascript, and certain PHP scripted shopping carts. I also am very familiar with Mals-e shopping cart and recommend it highly to anyone just starting out.
I can create logos, business cards, postcards, car magnets, yard signs, wordpress/blogger templates, myspace templates, rack cards, brochures, tshirts and advertising banners for the web.
