Allow me to paint a familiar picture for you: A small business owner in Contra Costa County is looking to expand her retail gift shop by selling her wares online. She knows that, in doing so, she'll be able expand her market beyond her storefront in downtown Danville to the world at large. She floats the idea to a friend of hers who works as the web master for a large company in San Ramon and he offers to build her site for her.
In six months he launches the new site and, as a credit to his expertise, it looks beautiful and is easy to use. The business owner is pleased to see some sales coming through the site, but not quite as many as she had hoped. She's not sure how to tell how many people are visiting the site or exactly what they're doing when they get there - all she has to go on is a cryptic statistics page her friend set up for her showing unique visits, page views and other odd numbers that don't provide much information out of context.
A few months later, the business owner descides to capitalize on the latest national frenzy for certain collectible statuettes. She wants her site to be the premier stop for web surfers looking to build their collection. She also has a few ideas for increasing her online sales and wants to explore optimizing her site for search engines and perhaps using search enginge marketing and pay per click techniques to boost her numbers. She calls her friend only to find he's taken a new job as director of technology for a large banking company in Concord and no longer has time to work on her site. Unfortunately, he doesn't really know of anyone who has the knowledge necessary to run and maintain her site. While she begins the search for someone new to run her site, she can almost see the money lost by not featuring her statuettes on her website float away.
TechKnowMe provides web site consulting, design and development services for small businesses in Contra Costa County. Working as a freelancer himself in addition to his full time web development jobs for many years, founder Rob Zazueta continually heard the same complaints from all of his clients. They found someone to build their web site, paid them quite a bit of money and, more often than not, the person developing the web site either didn't deliver what the customer expected or simply disappeared after it was complete. When the customer went back to the developer months later to expand or fix the site, the developer was nowhere to be found.
Rob Z. left the full time working world and founded TechKnowMe to rectify this problem by providing professional web site development, design and consulting services custom fit to the needs of small businesses like yours.
