Building Trust is what I do
Why a good website is crucial for business success
Lets' face facts. It's rough out today. People are very picky on what they buy and where they spend money. Trust is a major factor in spending.
The reasons are lenghtly...
- Let them know you exist
- Free Marketing, it works 24/7
- Expands Your Market Reach
- Communicates with Potential Customers
- Builds Credibility And Trust in your Brand
- Most Purchases searched online before buying
Bad Site The truth and it hurts...
- Most small business will fail in 5 year or less
- Lack of Trust in Your Product or Service
- It Makes you like an Amateur
- No Clear Messaging
- You've lost a Customer before you had one
- Customers will not return once they click away
Not everybody Knows You...
- population turnover
- First Time Buyers
- Not increasing customer base
- Many Customers don't know you exist
- Not everyone uses social media
- A large group of people are not mobile
In today's fiercely competitive online world, a poorly designed, outdated website is a death sentence for your business. You can do Better.
- Ever not do business with a company because of their website?
- 85% of customers research online before purchasing.
- 50-60% of overall website traffic comes from mobile devices.
- Ask yourself, how do I buy my personal goods and services?
- Now ask yourself why would someone buy my goods or services based off my website alone?
That's were I come in. I bulid trust...

Since turning professional in 2001, I have worked in Information Technology in a variety of industries, including Internet-Travel, Casino, Pharmaceutical, and Fintech. Throughout my career, I have held many different titles, most recently as an Application Software Engineer.
While I have experience in conventional IT work, I find software development to be more challenging and engaging. During my 12 years in Fintech, I focused on developing and testing ATM software and software security protocols, which provided a great learning experience despite its difficulty. I have also gained experience in Dev-Ops, programming, and web development.
Beyond my IT work, I have also held various other roles, including customer service and newspaper advertising sales. I have also owned several businesses, including a carpet cleaning, auto detailing, and computer repair business. Overall, my diverse background and experience have given me a unique perspective and set of skills that I believe would be valuable in any role.
