Project: Created website and web content for TeleOptics

My first project in web production was for TeleOptics Professional Service. I initially used Dreamweaver with basic CSS and HTML coding but I’m currently using WordPress which is a big improvement. Once I was given the necessary content, I researched the right theme for this small business that I can freely customize. The content was revised to provide rich SEO keywords to boost rankings and searchability. I also provided the images for the website. I recommended that my client create training videos for his customers, this will also help build a strong online presence. I used a high definition camera to produce the video the I edited the video using Final Cut Pro. Once completed I posted the video onto YouTube with a TeleOptics branded YouTube channel with SEO optimization added to the video content. TeleOptics is currently ranked on the first page of Google under “Canon ENG Lens Repair” and other similar keyword variations.

Project: Created website and web content for Brookwood Family Practice and Pediatrics

The project for my client, Brookwood Family Practice and Pediatrics, was a total redesign of the old website that I designed using Dreamweaver. I selected a customizable WordPress that will work best for this site redesign. The content that was given to me was revised for SEO optimization. The keywords were searched and selected based on my client’s medical practice and the location of their office, which is in Allen, TX. I used various keywords based on “family medicine”, “pediatrics” and “allen, tx” and added it to the content body. The images that were sent to me for the website needed refinement so I used Photoshop to improve visual quality. Brookwood Family Practice is currently ranked on the first and second pages of Google under “Allen, TX Family Practice” and other similar keyword variations.
