Hi my name is Rain, yes, Rain, spelled just how it sounds.  I’m fortunate to work in a home office, surrounded by oak trees, in the Santa Monica mountains, near Los Angeles, California. I am originally from Maine but escaped the cold weather by moving to ever sunny SoCal.

I don’t do static. Remaining in motion is an important element to my growing business. To keep up with your needs, I am always learning and expanding my knowledge base. I strive to offer the most comprehensive and up-to-date techniques in WordPress web development & SEO.

Give me a call, email, text, or IM — I love to talk about web sites!

I tell it to you straight

• I’m only satisfied when you’re satisfied.
• I’m honest with you about your website. I don’t mean to hurt your feelings or put down your existing Webmaster, but if your website isn’t cutting it, I’m going to tell you.
• I cannot guarantee any specific search engine placement, nor should any ethical SEO company. I’ll give you estimates and likelihoods based on the competitiveness of your market, but no guarantees.
• Unless you’ve recently paid a professional for keyword research, we cannot use it. Selecting the right keywords is the basis of successful SEO. We’ve got to do it ourselves or we can’t be sure it’s right.
• Obviously, improving an existing website is preferable to creating a new one. Except when it isn’t. Yes, sometimes it’s better to scrap the whole thing and start over. If that’s the case, I’ll let you know.
• I do more than strict SEO, I look at your business and the web site holistically. Along the way I’ll make marketing, usability or design recommendations which should help convert your increased traffic into conversions. What you do with it is up to you.
• I won’t be able to optimize a pure Flash website. They perform poorly with search engines and no amount of SEO is going to overcome that fact.
• Lastly, I’m not a miracle worker. I can get you the traffic, but if you’ve got a product or service no one wants, I cannot sell it for you.

Honestly, I Won’t…

• Sell you with unrealistic SEO goals or mislead you by targeting non-competitive search terms.
• Leave you high and dry. Usually I am able to return calls and emails immediately, if not we’ll get back to you on the same business day.
• SEO and go. To reap the full benefits of an SEO campaign it needs to be monitored and tweaked. We are in this with you for the long run, continually working on your SEO campaign until we achieve top placement.
• Ever use Black Hat SEO. It’s not worth risking total banishment by the search engines.
