Website Design
Targetted Website Design
I develop cost effective websites that integrate all of the Search Engine Optimization features required for getting on the first page of Google for keywords and keyphrases that represent my clients businesses. I have a wide diversity of clients including Political Candidates, Office holders, Window Tinting, Exercise Equipment and Exercise Equipment Moving. I have clients that have actually increased their lean time business by getting clients from website referrals. They actually perform their customer scheduling on the fly as they move from one job to another by wisely utilizing mobile technology coupled with a SEO optimized website design. Perhaps you're wondering why I'm using targetted as opposed to targeted. Well the latter was taken and the former was still at bargain basement prices and google will often consider mispellings in their search returns and this is a very common mispelling. So it's a good price performance trade off I think (I hope).

CostsThe cost varies but generally starts around $250.00 for websites with up to 7 seven pages. Additional pages cost more but the cost is not proportional since the only issues are creating the additional artwork to support the additional pages. Generally, I set my clients up with their own website hosting so that they are in control of their own website. And at anytime they can choose whom they wish to work on it. Some clients have me do all of the content management and some have various ways of inputing unique content on their own some of which requires some php programing on my part. This situation is different for everyone. | Search Engine OptimizationI also offer an ongoing service in which I provide Search Engine Optimization and website maintenance for monthly service charge which is billed quarterly. The cost is generally between $25.00 to $50.00 per month with most customers at the low end. I provide search engine optimization for all of my clients. We work on developing keyword strings that uniquely identify each client and their business scope and we try to optimize their site in order to achieve a Google page one presence for those search strings. I also provide 1 hour of website maintenance for every $10.00 paid by each client. Additional maintenance is available at $20.00 per hour. |
Google Maps API's
Google Map API's
This is an example of sort of thing that's possible with the Google Maps API. The following tool allows you to measure distance, area and perimeter on an otherwise standard Google Map. I've heard people complain about how intrusive Google is and I normally laugh and think about all of the various API's that they give you access to which make doing things like this possible and can provide me with a plethora of capabilities for my clients that otherwise would simply not be possible on my own.
As with many of the Google Tools there is a limit placed on the use of these tools and I have imposed a limit of 20 Geocodes per IP address per day.
By the way, if your a developer and your having trouble getting a Google Map to load on a JQuery Accordion. Try binding 'accordionchange' to your map initialization function it works in IE, FF, Chrome and Safari. It looks like this $('#myacc').bind('accordionchange', function(event, ui){loadScript();});

Graphics Design
Graphics Design
This all started with a visit from a friend who was in the process of making wedding preparations for her daughter. She saw one of the dodecahedron boxes that I had done for a gift.
She liked the unique design and personalized graphics that were applied to these unique pieces. I gave her a box and a pin wheel as a sample and she took them to the bride and groom and they both loved them. Since then they have been ecstatic about the unusual nature that these uniquely personalized graphic pieces brought to their event.
These are all created from client images. The images are enhanced as much as possible and applied to graphic shapes using specialized masks which cut the images to fit the desired shapes precisely. The final artwork is normally printed on card stock which is then cut out and formed into novel shapes. We currently have a dodecahedron (shape and box), cube box, pentagonal prism box, truncated pyramid box, pinwheels both handheld and mountable. The software used for cutting out the images into these precise shapes also has the ability to produce high resolution graphic calendar which can be applied as an overlay. In addition, we can personalize the text in each item in an order since our software has a non proprietary internal scripting language which allows us to read data files and automate the printing process.

Promotional GraphicsSoon after beginning to make personalized graphics we started playing around with designing business card holders and we came up with some pretty slick designs that offer businesses the ability to migrate their business cards to many other locations for only $2.50 per card holder. We believe that these are the cheapest business card holders on the market. A typical configuration offers a small front panel and a larger rear panel for advertising with room for a full mini calendar on the bottom and a few image locations underneath and behind the business cards. Our customers have been reporting that they lose a lot fewer business card holders with these and we're guessing that it's probably due to the fact that they are not generic card holders since they contain their own customized business advertising. Some of the designs are generic images from Colorado and the Lakewood, Colorado Sunsets are very popular. They can be custom monogrammed with messages or personalized for different people within a given order. As is the case with all of the our designs there is no charge for original artwork nor are their any setup charges. |
