Roger Klein’s Spectrum West Interior Design

Monday, November 9th, 2009

Spectrum West Design is an Interior Design firm in Torrance, CA designing residences (including kitchen and bathroom redesigns), commercial buildings, and hospitality venues all over the world, and we’re proud to play our part in their success!

SpectrumWestDesign.com

SpectrumWestDesign.com

Roger Klein, SWID’s never-resting Chief Designer, has an impressive array of projects under his belt – have a look at his projects page!  He’s been doing this for many years, and as an author and vastly experienced project manager, there are not many eventualities he has not seen.  He knows how to (and does, for every project) get the details right by working with architects, engineers, and buyers, to bring projects consistent and great success.

Like many business owners, Mr. Klein chose what he thought was a reputable Web firm, but when they grew unresponsive, he chose to end the stalemate by choosing Web Site Maintenance & Design to finalize the details and get him up the Search Engine rankings.  We are happy to oblige and work with such a great, small business.

We’re very proud of the fact that Roger is now happy with his Web Site.  We’ve implemented Google Analytics and are anxious to watch SpectrumWestDesign.com climb the rankings.

Have a look at the impressive array of work available on SpectrumWestDesign.com, and learn a little more about our involvement in the project from Quietus.us.

Tetra Graphics Takes A Run at the Search Engines

Saturday, November 7th, 2009

Mike Wratschko of Tetra Graphics, a Torrance-based printing company with immense capabilities, decided he wasn’t happy with his Site’s performance in the Search Engines.  By partnering with Web Site Maintenance & Design, he’s hoping to improve TetraGraphics.com‘s position amongst a myriad of other printers.

Torrance and Gardena are rife with printers – some good and some not-so-good.  Some print brokers claim to be printers, then outsource their printing to other printers, but not Tetra Graphics.  Their full service facility gives Mr. Wratschko’s Tetra Graphics the ability to do almost everything in-house.  With a focus on real customer service, we’re excited to be working with Tetra Graphics – a great company in Los Angeles’ South Bay.

We encourage you to try out Tetra Graphics for your next print job.  Once you’ve sampled their service, quality, and value, we’re sure you’re printing decisions will be much easier!

Storybrand Consulting Relates Life, Speaking To Consumers Using Their Own Language

Saturday, November 7th, 2009

Storybrand Consulting’s Tom Neveril had his “ah-ha” moment at a typical marketing event during a speaker’s engagement: “This CEO started telling his own story about how he was able to relate to his customers, and after a few seconds the entire room was spellbound.”

Tom Neveril's Storybrand Consulting

Tom Neveril

Tom has used this experience to figure out how to get to the heart of what his clients’ customers need to hear to engage them in the dissemination and buying process.  His unique style of getting to the heart of the matter has won him more than a couple of Fortune 500 clients.

Tom’s Web Site was in serious need of maintenance and updating.  It is a complex, yet beautifully executed Flash build that was out-of-date and very complicated to upgrade.  It took us a while, but Web Site Maintenance & Design is proud to have completed the job for Tom.

It’s a very cool site – we encourage you to check out Tom Neveril’s www.StorybrandConsulting.com.
