PR Web:
Risa Borsykowsky of Albertson, NY is celebrating the 2nd anniversary of her website, www.JewishGiftPlace.com.
Risa, a website designer for almost 10 years, launched her own retail web business after designing dozens of websites for clients across the country. Excited by her success in helping her clients rank well in Google and Yahoo, Risa launched her handmade Jewish gift website in 2007, and it has grown steadily ever since, attracting new artists and customers from around the world.
A mom of three young boys, ages 5,7, and 10, Risa took her first web design class shortly after her son, Joshua, was born in 2000. She volunteered to do her first two websites – the pottery studio she attended and her husband’s engineering association, and within the first year, she designed four more websites. By 2007, Risa applied her skills to her own e-commerce website, and JewishGiftPlace.com was launched.
“I love what I do!” says Risa. “I love designing the website, creating the graphics, writing the content, and optimizing it for the search engines, but what I love most is attending the trade shows, meeting the artists, and picking out the handmade items to sell.” There are many other websites that sell Judaica online, but Risa, a lifelong arts & crafts buff who paints and does pottery, wanted to focus on what she loves the most – handmade items.
