Design and Marketing Projects:
www.gotgoddesshair.com Not only did this company need a site, but they needed it in a three-day window. Their owner had retained another webmaster who quit three days before their debut as a company at a huge hair show. Without the website to go to, their company would have lost thousands of dollars & potential clients as they had spent hundreds of dollars on marketing materials and thousands of dollars on a display booth, models, and materials. Their site was up and ready to go before the show, and included flash and three photo galleries of their work.
www.lindseyplumer.com A MFT in Sacramento. Ms. Plumer needed a sight that was visually interesting in a field that often produces bland or benign marketing and visuals. I came up with a concept of showing famous statues and art in the throes of human emotion{happy AND sad} to keep away from the overdone stock photos of pensive or happy looking "clients".
www.labarrista.com Henderson Italian restaurant & catering company looking for a complete redesign. Their original site had been setup under a hosting company that was charging them a per-page rate. Not only were we able to make a complete SEO-friendly redesign, but we saved them a ton of money every month as well.
www.studiohmlv.com
Looking to rank for "pole dance class las vegas" as well as related yoga, pilates, fitness and dance search terms. Also, management of the studio's myspace page to increase web presence and viral marketing campaigns.
Las Vegas Mortgage
This site has had an extremely successful pay per click program through google and overture. Because the real estate market is extremely competitive, we did a combination of good page design and PPC. Both have paid off tremendously, achieving great natural placement as well as good conversion clicks through our PPC ad campaign. As a challenge, this site was hacked into in the summer of 2007 and taken over. Because of this, I have now become familiar with the reinclusion process in google, as well as what to do when your site is hacked. (back to top)

competitive
category, I can guide you on the best advertising bang for your buck.
Before you choose an SEO specialist, read this great summary on SEO from Wikipedia:
"Search engine optimization (SEO), a subset of search engine marketing, is the process of improving the volume and quality of traffic to a web site from search engines via "natural" ("organic" or "algorithmic") search results. SEO can also target specialized searches such as image search, local search, and industry-specific vertical search engines.
SEO is marketing by understanding how search algorithms work and what human visitors might search for, to help match those visitors with sites offering what they are interested in finding. Some SEO efforts may involve optimizing a site's coding, presentation, and structure, without making very noticeable changes to human visitors, such as incorporating a clear hierarchical structure to a site, and avoiding or fixing problems that might keep search engine indexing programs from fully spidering a site. Other, more noticeable efforts, involve including unique content on pages that can be easily indexed and extracted from those pages by search engines while also appealing to human visitors"{Click to read more}
