As most of you know I have been spending countless hours working on delivering better services to you - the client.  Projects that I have been working on and researching include:

Building community web sites - examples of community web sites are: MySpace, Monster and Facebook (no, I didn’t design those sites) But I have learned to design sites like them.  I have been educating myself with an open source php driven program called Drupal and have since developed my first community web site for a client.  The site includes:

1. user profiles
2. the ability for users to create their own home page
3. users may also create their own group within the community complete with their own home page, forums, blogs, etc. They may choose to have their group open to the community or by invitation only
4. a career center where users may create an online resume stored in the site database and the ability for recruiters/employers to create job listings.  Users may browse listings and click the apply for this job button and their resume is automatically sent to the employer. 
5. An invite a friend script where users can invite friends and add them to their friends list
6. Users may also create their own content such as blogs, articles, pages, and photo uploads to a photo gallery. 

There are MANY more options that can be implemented into this program and I am now happy to offer this type of design service to my clients.  If this is something that interests you contact me and we can discuss your specific needs.

Word Press - Word press is a blogging program, however the implementation of many plug-in modules available today make Word Press a pretty awesome web design program, offering alot of flexability to the web site owner.  This site, for example has been designed using Word Press.

Search Engine Optimization - This story in itself is pretty interesting.  One of my clients paid a search engine optimization company alot of $$$ to move their site up on the search engines last year.  This spurred my interest to get more involved with the search engine technology and training and have worked the last year honing my skills and I am happy to tell you it has paid off!  My clients using the service are seeing a dramatic increase in web site traffic.  I now offer a monthly maintenance package that includes 1 hour of web site maintenance/changes, a Search engine analysis report and site statistics for only $35 per month.

Press Releases to the newswires - This was yet another area that interested me and I thought may be useful for web sites that were interested in gaining national attention.  I now have some really great resources for getting your press releases to the national news wires.

Of course I am always working to develop my skills to become the best I can possibly be in order to provide you with top notch service.
