Home Humidifier Store: Sierra Sales - I originally built this site in 1994 using OS Commerce and the design has been upgraded quite a few times.The site sells whole house humidifiers, replacement parts and filters as well as dozens of new bbq accessories added into the shopping cart area. The Ecommerce is done with a program called Product Cart made by Early Impact..

This site is in the top ten for many of their search terms on all the major search engines. It's a perfect example of how long term search engine optimization can benefit a company. The site sells whole house furnace humidifiers and replacement parts. I'm currently in the process of rewriting every single page in this web site to appeal more to consumers and get the most important information to the visitors.

Conservative Animal Advocate - this is a blog that features articles and comments on animal rights from the perspective of the conservative, politically. I think this idea with a twist has great potential.

This web site is made using the Wordpress blogging software and a wide variety of plugins, little programs that add to the blog's functionality.

This web site uses Google Adsense, which is a way of generating income from larger amounts of visitors. The web site is brand new as of last week, and I'm going to be doing some promotion so it will be fun to see measurable results via traffic and income for this client!

I did a web site for Palm Pacific Construction earlier in the year and have recently completed a Facebook Page for this business.This company does some beautiful remodeling for homes in the Palm Springs area and also does construction.

I've recently created and just started marketing on the Facebook Page for Capitis Real Estate. This company services related to the Palm Springs Real Estate market, serving both buyers and sellers.

Their Facebook Page will provide real estate updates, new agents, new homes listed, and other related information to their industry.

Capitis Real Estate - this web site uses the latest real estate web based technology to display real-time MLS Real Estate data, such as homes for sale, the search feature, and the  email alerts section. This company provides real estate in Palm Springs.

The web site interacts with a company called IHomeFinder.com, and when information is updated in the Administrative area or on the MLS, the web site immediately reflects any updates.

The front page has two flash based slide shows that display some truly beautiful homes in the Palm Springs area. This web site is part of the Capitis Group of Luxury Home Services.

Savoury's Catering in Palm Springs - this web site is under the final stages of being completed at the time of this entry, but the template is so beautiful I wanted to add it to my portfolio.

This company does all of the catering for the Palm Springs Convention Center and the web site has a number of xml based photo galleries (that means a lot of images can be loaded into one gallery) that offer a full screen option when you're viewing them.

Ron Brewer Photography Wedding and Portraits Blog - this is an addition to the main flash gallery web site of Ron Brewer Photography.

The blog is based on WordPress software, a free online blogging software that's easily installed in any web server. The software is template based, and we found a unique look and feel that complements her main web site.

The background is fixed while the template moves, creating a really unique effect for the look and feel as you scroll down the page.

Ron Brewer Photography - this web site offers a unique approach to showing images. The web site, when you click on "Enter Ron Brewer Photography" at the top, displays the web site in a full screen window.

The majority of photographers and artists use pre-made image gallery flash web sites. Instead of using a complete flash web site (which is NOT readable by search engines), I found an amazing flash gallery that is inserted into HTML pages, implemented a really nifty sliding menu (due to space limitations and the desire to add many galleries into the menu) and a cool flash image player and acheived the same effect as a flash web site. If you look at any of the galleries, you'll see text on the right side. All of that text is indexable by search engines, as are the image folders. What that means for the client is that all of her web site will be found and ranked (including the images) by the search engines. And it looks good too!

I have also installed a really unique and classy looking photography blog using WordPress as its platform. This section of the web site the client has complete control over, with an administrative backend where they can add content that is also "search engine friendly".

The Desert Business Association - this is the Gay Chamber of Commerce for the Coachella Valley. This web site uses a content management system that focuses on memberships, from a company called Memberize.

The web site comes with a backend where members can be imported in and then all updates to the members' information including billing can be handled online.

The design of this site is template based. The backend does let you do modifications, so it was possible to make the look and feel more appealing visually. I added a slideshow to give the front page a bit of movement.

The web site also features an event calendar, photo galleries of past events and a variety of other features.

Focus On You Vision - this site offers eye exams and glasses in Palm Desert, CA. I recently took over management for the site. I gave it a bit of a freshening up, using the same image at the top, making the menu easier on the eye with a cool mouseover effect using their logo. I changed the background to focus on the content. This web site doesn't rank well in search engines, which is the next step for this company.
