A Don Ashley website begins with a personal consultation and a discussion of the needs and goals of the business. Each site built includes:

· A Content Management System (CMS) allows you to manage your own content moving forward, even without a foundational knowledge in html or uploading files. This will enable you to control your own web content and to keep your website as flexible as your business.

· Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is making the most of internet search engines. Coming up first in a Google search is promised by many companies, for anywhere from $500-$10,000 per month. Working with natural rankings, Don Ashley will work to optimize your business presence among the search engines, with a realistic goal and minimul cost to you.

· Fast-turn around is a promise with a Don Ashley production. You are not left waiting for weeks and months for a simple, static site. You receive a dynamic, multi-media ready site within days.

Video Production

Starting ( just barely ) in the days before computerized productions, Don Ashley instantly fell in love with the idea of piecing together video, voice, music and images to create a production that would both offer the elements of entertainment and useful information.  With the advent of computers and the developing technologies the fascination grew.  At this time the Internet was just getting it’s “kick-off” (thank you Al Gore), and Don realized that the Internet was actually “interactive TV in its infancy”…so, Don turned  pursuits away from television and “movie making” and focused and tooled his efforts and equipment to that which would become the most prevalent and powerful of all media applications (the Internet).  Since (roughly) 1995, Don has been working and producing video productions to help businesses and companies around the country utilize the power, appeal and accessibility of the Internet.

Offering both pre and post production services, Don Ashley specializes in customizing and creating video packages, campaigns and productions that are used to clarify and promote a companies products or services.  Don’s productions can be found throughout the Internet on countless sites.  It’s impossible to name an exact number, but it’s estimated that Don has actually produced, collaborated or sparked the idea of over 2,000+ videos…give or take a couple here and there.

Any company looking to enhance the punch and power of their website needs to seriously look into the addition of media…after all, the most popular and most visited website in the world is YouTube…hmmmm, all videos….

Social / Media Networking Applications

The days of “If You Build It They Will Come” are long over.  For any business that has that “Field of Dreams” mentality, rest assured, your website will fail.  Just as in Real Estate where the rule is: Location, Location, Location, the rule for websites is: Content, Content, Content – oh yeah and keeping your content fresh, spreading your content to as many places as possible, linking with as many sites as possible, producing and tagging media, (did I mention keeping the content fresh?) . . . blah, blah, blah . . .to have a successful website it needs to be as dynamic as a literal, brick and mortar storefront.

When you turn on the TV, do you look for a channel to READ or WATCH – we all know the answer to that, so…  why do businesses build boring, static, poorly positioned websites?  AND, the kicker, why are these same businesses amazed that no one is visiting their site?  OR, why are they amazed that their not showing up in the #1 position on Google?
