FAQs
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
WEB DESIGN: After the initial phone consultation, we'll ask you to share with us three sample websites you find visually appealing. This will help us to create a "first draft" of your new site. Once you approve, we'll work with you to do two additional live revisions to really fine tune it to your liking. After that, your content is uploaded, and your site goes live! SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION (SEO): We'll first perform a website analysis to determine if we can help you with your site's rankings. Not every site can be optimized because we concentrate on organic search optimization and not pay-per-click projects. This type of optimization is, over time, the most economical for our clients.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I remember asking Santa for an Atari 2600 or something like that. Back then, I was building motorized robots with my Erector Set and cool contraptions out of Legos. Fast forward 20 years and I’m working on becoming a photographer. Another few years and Al Gore invents the internet! [wink! wink!] Then comes Google and the rest of the search engines. I learn HTML, discover SEO, and get my very rudimentary website to number one for “Detroit Photographer” on Google and Alta Vista. Remember Alta Vista?!! My geekiness is confirmed. Solidly. But I’ve been told I wear my techno-geekness well… I’m not sure what that means exactly, but maybe it’s because I can translate geek-speak to English with ease! A few friends asked me to optimize their sites, and here I am, fourteen years later, a web designer and an SEO consultant to others and loving it!
