Studio 2108 - Wayne M. White launches redesigned website to go with New Office Space!

I wanted to let you know that I recently launched a redesigned and updated website at: http://www.studio2108.com to showcase some of my best work for my clients. Be sure to check it out and see if any of the projects I may have completed for you are in my portfolio. If they are not, it may be an oversight due to the recent move to my new office space. Please let me know if I can help you out on your next project.

Do you want to get web traffic reports easier for your website?

I have been using Google Analytics on quite a few of my client's websites that I host and maintain. It is FREE and very easy to use once it is set up. Please contact me to see if I have inserted the code into your html files already. If you want me to add the code to your website please let me know. You will need to set up a Google account (Do NOT sign up your website as I will do that, as it will give you html code to be inserted to every page you have) so I can sign you up as a user once tracking code has been inserted into your html pages..

Google Analytics tells you everything you want to know about how your visitors found you and how they interact with your site. Focus your marketing resources on campaigns and initiatives that deliver ROI, and improve your site to convert more visitors. For more info and to take a tour go to: http://www.google.com/analytics/

Do you want more people to find your website?

I have been making changes to my website every week for over a year based off of new information I learned from an SEO expert. I have to say that these 4 suggestions work in order for the web search engines to find your site:

1. Make changes and updates to your website as often as possible.

2. Have your website submitted web directories. (See my SEO page).

3. Have a link on your home page to every page on your site.

4. Create a list of keywords and have those used in your copy of your website.

Want Proof? Search for these phrases: "st louis graphic designer" or "professional st louis graphic designer" - a link to my website should show up near the top of the list depending on which search engine you use. These results were not instant - as it took about 3 months after I had my website submitted to over 300 web directories in January 2006 (See my SEO page).

If you would like your website optimized for higher web search results give me a call @ 865-5088.

Do you have any links to other sites on your website?
