Hello *|FNAME|*,

Spring is finally here in New England and like most of you, I am looking forward to a long weekend. This month I have worked on some great projects. Two are highlighted on the right. Watermark Construction had their old, static, site converted to Wordpress. Now they have a site that is easier to manage in-house, social media ready and search engine optimized.

Miracle Farms Landscaping is another Wordpress conversion. We are aggressively building content by adding photo, how to videos and more and then repurposing that content for sites like YouTube, Facebook and Twitter. If you are looking for examples of content, check out their site. 

Your Web Site is Your Marketing "Hub"

Your web site/blog is the center of all your marketing. Even offline marketing leads back to your web site. Think about a prospect who meets you at a tradeshow or is referred to you by a happy customer. One of the first things they will do is research you online... on your web site. Given how critical your web site is to your entire marketing system, it needs to be professionally designed, rich in relevant content and optimized for search engines. I created a diagram of my 'hub' concept to illustrate this.
