Visionary Web had a visiting student for three days this week. Benjamin Ashby, an Information Systems student at IPFW in Fort Wayne joined us as a part of IPFW’s extern program and received some hands on experience in the real world of IS and web development. Ben is a native of Fort Wayne. He received a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Management from IPFW in 2006 and plans to finish his IS degree in May, 2012. He is currently employed at the Wal-mart Distribution Center in Garrett in the shipping department. He has been married to Crystal for three years and they have a one year old son, Ethan. Ben is an avid runner, preferring to run in 5k races, but has also run in four half marathons and two marathons, including the 2009 Boston Marathon. Ben’s visit was enjoyed by everyone at Visionary Web, and he was asked to keep in touch and consider us for employment when he graduates.

New Staff Member at Visionary Web.

Monday, February 21st, 2011

Visionary Web would like to take this opportunity to announce the addition of Ron Garlits to their staff.  Ron started with VW in November, 2010 following his retirement from Beacon Credit Union where he worked as a consumer loan officer for nine and a half years.  He will be working as a web technician and also working with owners Christina and Mark Sapusek in the day to day operation of the company including finances, sales projections and recruiting.  Ron has also completed the construction of three new offices at their facility to handle the company’s rapid growth.

Ron received an honors degree from Indiana University at Kokomo in 1991 with a major in Social and Behavioral Sciences.  Prior work experience other than Beacon Credit Union includes thirty-one years in sales and sales management, thirteen of which were as owner of an advertising company and eleven years as a regional manager for World’s Finest Chocolate.

Ron stated that he is somewhat of a late bloomer.  I earned my degree when I was fifty-one.  I started playing guitar when I was sixty-four and now play with a group called “God’s Country.” I am starting a totally new career at age sixty-eight. I am extremely excited to have the opportunity to work for a leading edge company that is experiencing dynamic expansion.

How blogs are used by our clients

Monday, October 5th, 2009

We have quite a few clients that use blogs on their site. Here are just a few that I’m going to talk about:

Health Positive – http://www.healthpositive.com/blog
Brodbeck Seed – http://www.brodbeckseed.com/blog
Halderman Farm Management – http://www.halderman.com/blog

Health Positive: You’ll notice that a majority of the posts deal with massage therapy which is what Health Positive focuses on in their business. You’ll also see that they tag their posts which is helpful with the search engines because those could be used as search terms. So for example if someone searches for “Massage Business Marketing” then it’s possible that this blog would show up as a search result.

Brodbeck Seed: Brodbeck Seed focuses on Agronomy articles for their blog. Usually an article is posted each month with up to date happenings in the farming world. This information can be helpful/useful to the farming community.

Halderman Farm Management: Halderman focuses on land values, economy, leasing etc. with their blog articles. They also post articles in regards to their auctions as well which is just another way for people to find more information about a particular farm auction.

In conclusion all three of these companies use their blog in a very useful way for their consumers. Their articles can certainly help them with their search engine rankings for particular keywords. If you ever need a blog setup on your site please feel free to contact us @ 877.569.0260

Social Media and the web

Monday, September 28th, 2009

It seems everyone is talking about Social Media or Social Marketing today. So what can you do as a small business owner who doesn’t have time to even keep up on your web site, let alone working on setting up a blog or a Facebook page? Well why not do all three at once?

This idea of writing something once and using it in multiple ways is what the web is all about! These new technologies are supposed to make your life easier not harder!

How do we do this?

Let’s start with our website.

By setting up a blog on your site you can have up to date content that is changed daily or weekly if you prefer. Different people from your organization can add different posts to different categories eliminating the need for only one or a handful of people managing the entire site. Administrators can approve blogs giving them editorial control.

The blog can then be added to the home page or your site or any page you wish providing new, updated content to each page of your site.

So the first step above takes care of two issues at once – keeping your site content up to date and providing a blog for your site.

The next step is to make a Facebook page for your company or a Twitter page for your company. Once this is done you can link your blog directly to both of these allowing your blog to update both!

How is that helpful?

Well now we have a blog that is being edited in one location and is updating itself, your site, your Facebook page AND your Twitter account.

If this is a strategy you would like to employ to update your site and get better results in the search engines and better communication with your customers – give us a call today – 360-569-0260 – we can help!

Changing Face of SEO

Friday, August 28th, 2009

Over the years SEO has definitely changed on getting to the top in the search engines.

Below are a few of the things that you had to worry about before:
1. Meta tags
2. Links to other websites
3. Title Tags

The above items are still important but there are other things to consider now as well:

1. H1, H2 tags for important keywords
2. Pay per click advertising
3. Keeping content fresh
4. Blogging

These are just a few things to look at when you’re optimizing your site.
Please give us a call @ 877-569-0260 if you need help optimizing your site for the search engines.

Google Analytics

Wednesday, January 10th, 2007

Google Analytics is a free tool that tells you how your visitors found your site, where they came from etc.

It provides a variety of different reports including an executive overview, E-commerce summary, a conversion summary and many more.

An executive overview shows the visits and pageviews, percentage of new and returning visitors, a geo map overlay which shows exactly where the visitor came from, and which site the visitor was on when they found your site.

An E-commerce summary shows the total revenue that you have accumulated from visits, the average revenue per transaction, the cities which have accounted for the most revenue etc.

An conversion summary shows the conversion rate for your site. It provides if your conversion rate has increased or decreased for a certain date range. This summary is very valuable if you have made changes to the site recently and then you can see if those changes have made an impact on your rate.

Sign up for Google Analytics now to analyze your sites’ productivity.
