As a web designer based in New Orleans I know how important social media is such as Youtube.

Thats why I incorporate it as part of my clients site design. Building a web site in New Orleans is not just about site design. It’s about content, traffic, monetization, search engine optimization, branding, conversion, and more. And, my friend, much of that starts with Social Media right now.

June 17, 2008

New Orleans Website Design - Author Site ExampleI recently designed this New Orleans based website for Author Marie Bookman. Her new home is http://www.mariebookman.com. This is an example of what you can do using WordPress and simple customization to come away with a great looking site.

The author approached me and needed a site fast for her upcoming book release and book signing. Here’s what we came up with.

She was well prepared and quickly gave us everything we needed:

  • Author bio
  • Pictures in action
  • Contact information
  • Book Information

Testimonials About Her Books From Supporters.

To cap things off we were even invited to Maries book signing which gave us an opportunity to gather video testimonials and footage of Marie for her site and Youtube channel.

The site is clean, crisp, and colorful – all things she wanted.

Additionally, there’s lots of room for the site to grow with additional books, lectures, and speaking options.

Best of all, Marie can add to her site at any time. With a few lessons and tutorials, she’ll be updating her site which also acts as a blog in no time flat.

Give us a call if you need a New Orleans website fast. We’ll do our best to get it up for you as soon as possible.

New Orleans Web And Blog Design Client Testimonial

June 12, 2008

Filmmaker Happy with New Orleans Web and Blog Designer’s Work

Many people ask can I get my website designed even though we don’t live in the same state. The answer to this question is ABSOLUTELY. Time and technology have caught up with each other and geography is no barrier.

Aishah Shahidah Simmons, Philadelphia based filmmaker talks about her experience with my design and web strategies for her business. Check out her new site we designed at http://www.NOTheRapeDocumentary.org

Here were her challenges and needs:

  1. Have access to website for frequently changes and updates
  2. Let folks know where films are screening
  3. Highlight video trailers of films and shorts
  4. Feature the voices of others in testimonials
  5. Allow potential schools and organization contact her without necessarily giving them complete access to her immediately.
  6. Qualify potential clients and their ability to screen her film and pay for her honorarium fees
  7. Have a clean, nice site that grows with her

Our solution to all of this was to create a WordPress Site/Blog hosted on her existing domain.

Listen to her joy in finally being free from her “webmaster” here

or below:

  1. She can now update her site whenever she needs to
  2. Add events and testimonials
  3. Received emails from potential contacts without them having direct access to her
  4. Add audio and video to her site
  5. Get great Search Engine Optimization and lots more traffic as a result
  6. Keep in contact with her supports and clients via a new mailing list we set up
  7. Highlight her work and accomplishments.

New Orleans Web Designer Adds Facebook Page

June 12, 2008

Hi everyone. As a Web Designer based in New Orleans it’s my job to stay up to date and cutting edge. That means knowing what ’s going on on the web with regard to marketing, Search Enginer Optimization, and Traffic.

So of course, I’ve created a Facebook Page. Find it here:

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Kenner-LA/New-Orleans-Web-Designer/17396476164

If you are on facebook, stop by and become a fan.

As a New Orleans Web Designer, one of my greatest resources and tools is the CMS (Content Management System) I use, WordPress. If you’re interested in creating a site that would grow with you, I definitely recommend WordPress. You don’t have to “blog” or use WordPress as a blog. It operates as a way to easily manage your content and let you edit and add to it for a long time.

Cheers,

Your New Orleans Web Designer,

Monica D.
