Developing an online brand is not an easy task for most of us. Most health and fitness professionals are knowledgeable and commit themselves to their clients but their results need more exposure. This is why MorlandSTRENGTH has teamed up with 925CONCEPTS.
About 5 years ago when looking to get re-tooled for the job market, I met Sterling Ching, a.k.a. “Sting,” a friend of the website design trade, and owner of 925CONCEPTS. We immediately connected and exchanged information. What I didn’t realize was that Sting would become a professional adviser as I began to build the digital foundation for a strong online presence. Over the last 3 years, Sting has walked me through the process of building a website for our business that includes advising coaches, speaking at events, and partnering with others in the health and fitness industry.
The online world takes advanced knowledge, skill, and experience to navigate.
Sting has a keen eye for design, and the first thing he did for us was to develop a logo for MorlandSTRENGTH. The image of the DaVinci man incorporates whole body wellness of body, mind, and soul. The arms and legs indicate movement and strength. MorlandSTRENGTH is about educating and equipping others (students, coaches, parents, professionals) by using these skills to educate and coach. We are not selling a product; we are investing in helping people and partnering with others who seek to do the same. Sting recognized this and designed an appropriate logo for us.
MorlandSTRENGTH recommends Sting’s services through his unique approach in 925CONCEPTS. We are excited he has joined our team to become a GOLD level partner, although he has “unofficially” partnered with us in our journey these past 5 years. He has been generous (which is a value for us) with his time and services, always willing to schedule a phone call or a face-to-face meeting at a café for a brainstorming session.
He is small-business minded, professional yet casual, flexible, detail-oriented, up-to-date on the latest online trends, savvy about social media, and a great net-worker.
Sting is one of the founders and leadership member of P3, the Pittsboro Power Professionals in Pittsboro, NC, which provides a structured means by which business owners and professionals can build relationships with each other to help accelerate business growth.

“My web designer and marketing coach Sterling Ching (aka Sting) from 925CONCEPTS has coached me to an incredible launch of my website MorlandSTRENGTH.com! He communicated the vision for the website, met personally with my wife and me, and followed up with conference calls throughout the course of the project. Sting has a keen eye for graphics and layout design that has led to an impressive response from many. Three words describe the process he led us through: professional, patient, and excellent. In 2013 I landed my dream job, and now I have a dream website to display content for educators, coaches, and students. If you desire to have a professionally designed website to meet the needs of your business I would highly recommend Sting to make your goals reality. That’s what Sting has done for MorlandSTRENGTH.com and I’m forever thankful.” – 2013 – 2017
