New Website for Amelia Massage Associates

Aug 122016
 

Amelia Massage Associates was completed in late July and published in early August. We helped Michael & Nancy secure a new inexpensive VPS hosting platform. Their old site ‘ameliamassages.com’ was redirected to the new site.

The giraffe is central to their theme ‘We do necks’ and incorporated into their logo. We developed a new high-quality logo to match their new site. The page background is a heard of giraffe running across the sandy desert. The light beige background define the new color scheme for the site. The site plays with levels of opacity. Nancy wanted to have their menu of services displayed on the site. We suggested it could make an excellent landing page (aka Home page). To keep the text form being too boring, we created partially transparent, colored boxes to enclose and group the text describing their services.

In 2015 they were honored to receive the Reader’s Choice, ‘Best of the Best’ massage associates from Amelia’s Newsleader. We just learned they were also selected to receive the 2016 award too. Congrats!

Google’s announcement about mobile readiness

Apr 012015
 

Mobile Ready Websites reformat content for the viewers screenGoogle’s announcement about mobile readiness is a potential windfall for mobile ready sites. The street name for the algorithm change is: Mobilegeddon.

“Starting April 21, (2015) we will be expanding our use of mobile-friendliness as a ranking signal. This change will affect mobile searches in all languages worldwide and will have a significant impact in our search results. Consequently, users will find it easier to get relevant, high quality search results that are optimized for their devices.”

In 2014, worldwide searches from mobile devices exceeded the number of searches from desktop & laptop computer. In an continuing effort to deliver content, Google is requiring site to display correctly on all devices. What is the penalty for non-compliance? You won’t show up in searches from mobile devices. If you do, you will be ranked below sites that have passed the mobile friendly test. You can see if your sites is ready: Google’s Mobile Ready Test Just enter your URL on the mobile test page (right) and see if Google thinks your site is ready. The real acid test is to grab the right ‘border’ of your browser and pull it toward the left, squeezing the page smaller and smaller. See at what size your website fails to render correctly. (For those of you using Firefox with the developer options installed, I will launch a special mobile page where you can specify the exact size of the device you want to emulate.)

Are you ready to capitalize on this opportunity? Change brings opportunity to sites that can adapt. Every site we develop is fully responsive and will display correctly to a width of (at minimum) 479 pixels. Above this width, 99% of all handheld devices will render correctly.

Windswept Sales revamped Web-site

Oct 262011
 

Prospectus completed the initial web-site revamp for Windswept Sales and Service windsweptsales.com.  Based in Mt. Pleasant SC, a suburb of Charleston, they provide custom logo, apparel, embroidery and specialty products to a large array of businesses.  We were able to completely upgrade their old web-site with a crisp new WordPress site complete with a new ‘dot-com’ URL.  The work was completed in less than a week using most of the graphics available from the old site.  Karen, the site’s proud new owner, is already trained in using the simple ‘posting’ platform in WordPress.  Originally the site had minimal exposure with Google (in fact is was hard to find if you knew the url).  It scored just a 13 on Hubspot’s website grader the new site immediately ranked at 53 on the web-site grader (how well does your site rank? Check it out  http://websitegrader.com).  This rating should steadily increase with ‘fresh relevant content,’ new keywords and constant SEO work.  See our ‘What Google’s Panda algorithm means for your web-site‘  and what these site improvements will do for their Google page rankings.  If you have a stale web-site that needs an upgrade, please contact us and you can be a proud web-site owner too.
