Friday, February 19th, 2010

What are you looking at? Great food, that’s what the heck you’re looking at, buddy! Acclaimed Chef Andrew Lord – The Bitter Chef – has made another phenomenal hit in the heart of Long Beach, CA, offering beautiful food at a fantastic value.

The Bitter Chef brings food and fun to Long Beach, CA

Chef Lord has created more than a few successful restaurants, and his latest creation brings the right kind of American Classic infused with modern Italian to really give Long Beach something fresh to eat.  And it’s GOOD.  He could probably charge twice as much for the dishes he’s perfected here, but he chooses to make the prices friendly to the economy because he has a big heart.  Yeah, right.  He just wants you in there eating his food regularly!

Join his mailing list so you can be notified of deals especially for your birthday or because or for that rare moment when he’s in a good mood.  We know Andrew, so we can jest about his sarcastic sense of humor – and a sense of humor is required for dining at The Bitter Chef, not just because the food is ridiculously good.  The atmosphere is all about good fun, and Yelpers are already proclaiming their affection for this new Long Beach gem of a diner.

Check out The Bitter Chef and his new Web Site, www.TheBitterChef.com today and head on down to LBC tonight for a breakfast, lunch, or dinner you won’t forget soon, but your pocketbook will.

Fairmont Butte Motorsports Park addresses Neighbors’ Concerns

Monday, December 21st, 2009

The Fairmont Butte Motorsports Park, a race track pending development in Lancaster, California has been recommended for project approval by the County Planning Commission staff after carefully reviewing the plans and the draft environmental impact report.

The New Fairmont Butte Motorsports Park Web Site

The great majority of concerns appear unfounded.  There is a beautiful poppy preserve near the track where people enjoy seeing the flowers and meditating, and of course, the natural concern is that the noise of the race cars will disrupt people’s enjoyment of the preserve.  Fortunately, the bluff shields most of the noise – and even with the most powerful race cars at full song, the sound they make is barely audible if there is no breeze.  If there’s ANY kind of wind (which is typical there), it would be unlikely to hear the cars at all.

And of course, the track will handle small events only, so there will be no congestion.

Since this is the case, plans are moving to push the track project forward, to provide jobs to the area, and to create a great motorsports venue.

To learn more facts and news about the project, see a track map, and get an idea about the project, check out www.FairmontButteMotorsportsPark.com.

On the site, there are downloadable PDF’s explaining both sides of the argument, and explaining the reality of the situation.

Hope4MentalHealth.org Goes Live, Promoting Hope Water

Tuesday, December 1st, 2009

Although we don’t take credit for the site design or build, WSmad had a small part in bringing together a cool site with an even cooler purpose.

Hope4MentalHealth.org is a 501(c)3 based in Texas, focused around promoting mental health and well-being

Hope Water from Hope4MentalHealth.org

in young people.  They had come to a point where they were having difficulty relaying their needs to their existing team of designers.  They asked Web Site Maintenance & Design to deliver, and we did so under budget.

With their Site development back on track and their South Carolina-based publicist, Kristen Wright and the Organizations Board happy, they launched their site yesterday.

Although we didn’t have anything to do with the implementation of the Flash intro or the site build, we’re proud of the part we played in assisting this organization to get on the Web.

Raise a glass of Hope Water and cheer on Hope4MentalHealth.org with us!  Best of luck to you, and we hope you accomplish all of your goals with your new site!

Cook’s Doors & Windows Attacks the Internet Market

Monday, October 26th, 2009

Cook’s Doors & Windows, a family company serving Los Angeles since 1923, is assaulting the Internet marketplace after 86 years of working with home owners and contractors.

Like many companies re-evaluating their marketing dollars, Cook’s decided the Internet is more effective for lead generation than the tired old yellow pages, so they’ve redone their Web Site with the intent of capturing more marketshare in the 21st Century.

Cook's Doors & Windows' New Web Site

Cooks Doors and Windows

Their site is now a resource to their customers, primarily home owners building or remodeling and contractors, showcasing links to all of the companies that they carry in one easy place, contact information, and even articles about the saving energy and saving money while going through the process of changing doors, windows, door hardware, and moulding.

Have a look at Cook’s Doors & Windows’ new web site, or check it out as one of our proudest projects on our portfolio at Quietus.us.

From Ryan, Web Site Maintenance & Design’s Founder:

“I invite you to experience Quietus.us: this is the calm we provide amidst America’s relentless pursuit of success.”

Quietus.us - A Sampling of WSmad's Portfolio

We’re all pretty jazzed about Quietus.us around here.  It’s just a few of our favorite projects, but it shows you what we can do.  Our main site, WSmad.com, is focused on promoting our Official Marketing Partners (our clients).  It’s a hub and an opportunity for us to brag about about our Clients, for them.  Every time we do, it helps their sites climb the search engines.  www.Quietus.us also has another role – it shows people interested in working with us how other small businesses have eased their burdens by entrusting their Internet Marketing with our experts.

So, like Ryan says, check out www.Quietus.us!

The Greater Hope Foundation for Children Brings Foster Children to Good Homes Throughout California’s High Desert

Friday, October 2nd, 2009

The Greater Hope Foundation for Children is a phenomenal group of people that have come together for the good of children in need of love. GHF has offices in Victorville and Barstow serving the highest-need areas of California, putting children with loving homes.

Helena Smith came to WSmad with a need to take advantage of some great sponsorship from her friends at Google.  “I need to update my Web Site, it’s not bad but I know you can do much better.”  We’re pretty confident that we knocked it out of the park.  Not only is her new design engaging and gorgeous, but the site is much more functional,making the lives of the hard-working GHF staff easier amidst this difficult business.

The Greater Hope Foundation for Children, Inc.

“I need a way to engage the flood of users I’ll be getting from my sponsorship through Google – my current site won’t cut it.”  Message received, new site delivered.  We’re stoked to have been a part of their project – I think it’s fair to say that the whole team feels proud and gratified to have done something really good for this rapidly growing and intensely giving Foundation.

Have a look at their new Web Site at www.GreaterHopeFoundation.com, and become a part of the solution.

D&G Paving, the finest Asphalt and Concrete Paving Company in Southern California goes live with DandGPaving.com!

DandGPaving.com from Torrance, CA finally goes live!

DandGPaving.com from Torrance, CA finally goes live!

This project is of particular significance to WSmad because, as so many of our clients have struggled in the past to get a Web Site live, D&G had a web site for a couple of years that never got finished by it’s previous designer.  WSmad is capable of providing that extra service that it takes to make sure our partners are happy with what we do and ensuring that we produce ROI for them; not many can do this the way we do it, and certainly not as consistently.  That’s just the kind of service that D&G provides for it’s clients, so our companies really fit well together!

Congratulations Dan and Keith and the whole D&G Team on your beautiful new Web SIte – certainly an industry leader, just as you are!
