F100Central.com —
F100 Central provides restoration and hot rod parts to 50’s Ford pickup owners. This site started out as a basic informational site. Once we established good traffic to the site, we launched the e-commerce section of the website to sell parts. Approaching the project in this way allowed them to invest slowly in the project. It also significantly improved the chances of selling parts online as a new business. This site dominates search results for many of the keywords related to the trucks and parts that they sell.
Today, the website is a full e-commerce solution built on CRE Loaded software, an off-shoot of OS Commerce. The web marketing strategy involves providing good information focused on relevant keywords to get traffic to the site and then converting information seekers into buyers of products. Most products have detailed product descriptions, aiding in good natural search results. PPC (pay-per-click) advertising is also used to bring relevant traffic to the site. Adding photos and articles is ongoing as well as improving page titles and product descriptions. Recently, a separate blog was launched. The web address is FordF100Truck.com. The design does not matter at the moment, as we are only focusing on generating traffic back to the main e-commerce site. While most companies want to fill one of the top spots for each relevant keyword, occupying two spots on the natural search results is better in many ways and attainable in this case. In time, it will be styled as well. Blogs are viewed as newsworthy websites and are indexed often by major search engines. Using a blog to talk about relevant products and information has generated significant traffic to F100Central.com. We are also using the links from FordF100Truck.com to improve the stature of F100Central.com.

KidsWorldPlay.com —
Kids World needed a fun website that organized and displayed all of their products on-line. Our web solution is well received by kids and parents. The site is layed out in a fun way, while maintaining organization so that potential clients can easily navigate through it. Kids World also requested a simple Flash based playground builder so customers could build their own playground. Admittedly, the playground builder could be enhanced, but it had to meet budget restrictions. Websites are sometimes give and take when budget is a concern.
