I recently redesigned the home (splash) page for www.MiniMania.com. I needed to add category links to it and there simply wasn’t a way to do it with the old design. This design is focused first on SEO, second on usability, third on style. I’ve had people comment that the site is too busy, but again, I’m not trying to appeal to a sense of style, but am instead highly focused on SEO. The last update I focused on keeping a lot of the old SEO scheme intact while optimizing better for “parts and accessories” keyword phrase. This time the keyword optimization structure is much more broad, aimed at improving long-tail SEO results, as well as being optimized for specific keyword phrases.

This is a redesign I did for Mini Mania. It’s another example of css-driven table-less web design.

Another product site I built for Mini Mania, Inc. This one incorporates a table-less design and is optimized for SEO.

I am now offering my Web Design, Internet Marketing, and SEO services to local businesses, individuals, musicians, etc. in Nevada County, California (Grass Valley, Nevada City, and surrounding areas.) I work with one client at a time, after normal business hours and on weekends, as I currently maintain a full-time position with a local internet retailer doing web development, marketing and SEO optimization. What I am offering goes beyond just building websites. Once your website is built, how do you promote it? How do you build up your pagerank with Google so that your website continues to improve it’s serp (search engine results page) position? While other web development companies walk away when the website is built, I help create a network for you that continues to promote your website, your brand, your product long after the website is up and running and looking pretty. I employ strategies based upon current Web 2.0 trends, not simply relying on web design alone to generate interest in your website, brand or products.

Thank you.
