OUR CLIENTS

Institute for Creation Research - http://www.icr.org/

Institute for Creation ResearchICR is our biggest client with over a thousand pages of content. We are currently working on changing their archive of articles to match the new look of the site. We redesigned the site with a temporary new look until more important matters are dealt with first. We will then concentrate on a new, more exciting look and feel. As reported in a recent review of Search Engine Killer, ICR is doing extremely well in the search engines. Example 1, 2, 3, 4

Here are some of the things we have done with their site:

  1. Miva Merchant Shopping Cart - We imported over 300 products from icr.org's old store and setup an additional product fields module, advanced search, gift list, favorites list, and many other modules.  We currently maintain their store.
  2. Website Search Engine - Before we came along, icr.org had a small cgi script installed that only searched a limited amount of pages with no options.  We installed an advanced search engine that would allow the searching of the entire site or individual directories. It also logs what visitors search for, which helps ICR know what visitors want the most.
  3. Search Engine Optimization - We used a customized version of search engine killer to create a static version of their dynamic shopping cart that is optimized for the search engines.  They now have over 300 category and product pages listed in Google.
  4. E-Newsletter Mailing Lists - We installed a cgi enewsletter script that uses mysql as the backend database.  Our client now has 6 newsletters that can be sent in html or plain text.  Newsletters can also be queued to be sent at a later time and date via cron.  These newsletters are fully automated and allow subscribers to subscribe and unsubscribe themselves.
  5. Printer-Friendly Pages - Our client has over 1000 informative articles that visitors love to print out.  ICR wanted visitors to have the option of extracting just the text of the articles for printing.  Every single article now has this capability.
  6. Referring Pages - They wanted a way for visitors to refer pages and have that information tracked to know which pages were being referred the most.  We installed a tell-a-friend or refer script that allows visitors to send the url of a page to 1-5 people and include a personal message.  Once they send their referral, they are automatically taken back to the page they initially referred.  All the information is automatically stored in a secure online database.
  7. Ad Banner Design, Rotation, and Tracking - We installed a cgi banner rotator that can be displayed with a javascript tag or an image tag.  There is no need for *.shtml pages.  Ads are randomly rotated in page "zones", and their impressions, clicks, and click-through ratios are recorded.
Dutchguard.com. - http://www.dutchguard.com/

As Seen on TV Products by Dutchguard.com - Dutchguard is in an extremely competitive market and needed some help with free search engine traffic. They were smart and realized that it is an ongoing process and have employed JMH for over a year to maintain their presence.

  1. Customized Search Engine Killer -
  2. Product Page Templates Module by Viking Coders - This product screen module lets you design the product detail screen like no other Miva Merchant module available.
  3. Search Friendly Links by Copernicus - This directory style link module is phenomenal for making Miva Merchant urls appear without any question marks or ampersands.
  4. Category Page Templates Module by Viking Coders - This category screen module is phenomenal for laying out the product display in an optimized way for search engines. (Soon to be added)

Client Comments:

"I have been extremely pleased with JMH.  Many times our products are the number one listing in the free search results.  We have had JMH perform monthly seo maintenance, and it just paid off in a big way.  One of the products we resell is going to be featured on the Today Show, and its Miva Merchant product page is ranked number one in Google!"

Earl Kaufman, Dutchguard.com
Shanrene.com. - http://www.shanrene.com/

Mothers Bracelets and Custom Beaded Jewelry by Shanrene.com - Shanrene needed their homepage and Miva Merchant ecommerce store optimized in time for the holidays. We have performed key phrase research and analysis, quality link analysis and building, complete page optimization, and more. We utilized the following Miva Merchant modules as part of their seo campaign.

  1. Category Page Templates Module by Viking Coders - This category screen module is phenomenal for laying out the product display in an optimized way for search engines.
  2. Product Page Templates Module by Viking Coders - This product screen module lets you design the product detail screen like no other Miva Merchant module available.
  3. OpenUI Look and Feel Module - The OpenUI module is a Miva Merchant module that most people should not be without. It allows you to a multitude of things including search engine optimization that would cost much more with other modules and time spent trying to duplicate the same features with custom hacks.

Client Comments:

"It has been and continues to be a pleasure working with Jason of JMH on our search engine placement. He is very knowledgeable and has done a great jop optimizing our Miva Merchant e-commerce store. We saw huge jumps in rankings almost immediately!"

Jason McWilliams, Shanrene.com
Studio Products, Inc. - http://www.studioproducts.com/

Vonlar ConsultingStudio Products had a forum with over 20,000 messages and over 600 members, but it didn't have the features they needed.  They needed a new discussion forum solution that would be able to import all past messages, topics, forums, posts, and members.  They also needed a new shopping cart solution that would be able to import their current product and customer database and allow for more customization and features to really sell their great art products.

  1. Miva Merchant Shopping Cart Setup and Import of Old Store - Studio Products was under the impression that they would have to re-enter all their product information by hand from their old store.  We were able to get their old product database and make it compatible with Miva Merchant and then import it.  We also were able to get their old customer database and import over 300 customers including usernames and passwords.  This saved all their previous customers from having to enter their shipping and billing address information all over again. We installed and setup the following modules for their Miva Merchant store: category and product templates, coupon, gift certificate, store maintenance, customer and merchant notification, ultra order batch, elm stats, running subtotal display, bread crumb navigation, shipping/billing selection, verisign payflow link.
  2. Discussion Forum Setup and Import of Old Forum Info - They were using the UBB discussion forum software previously, and it didn't provide the features they wanted.  It was also expensive to upgrade to the latest version.  We installed a different piece of software that not only had more features, but it was FREE!  We were able to import all their old members, forums, topics, and posts.
  3. Setup of Opt-In E-Newsletter and Import of Previous Email Addresses - We installed a cgi enewsletter script that would allow an unlimited amount of different lists where subscribing and unsubscribing is fully automated and stored in an online database with no work on our client's part.  This program has an easy administrative interface that allows the newsletter content to be pasted into a form for sending.
  4. Transfer of Website - Their site was on a inefficient host with many problems.  We successfully transferred their entire site to a new and reliable host.
  5. Search Engine Optimization - We customized search engine killer to create a near-identical static version of their dynamic shopping cart. Unlike many other static mirrors of Miva Merchant stores, this one is not much different in look, feel, and even function from their live store.  We just submitted these pages, so expect great things soon!

Client Comments:

"We’re artists not web designers. After trying to manage on our own, we realized that it was time to call in the professionals. We interviewed a number of services before we contacted JMH Web Services. Right from the first day, JMH guided us through the labyrinth of conflicting claims from various service providers and helped us settle in with the best web service providers and software solutions for our needs........"  Complete Comments
Costumes-4-Halloween - http://www.costumes-4-halloween.com

Costumes for HalloweenCostumes-4-Halloween needed some minor work done on their home page, online store, and search engine optimization and submission.  They also commissioned us to do some maintainance on another of their stores, Danny's Trix & Kix. As reported in a recent review of Search Engine Killer, Costumes-4-Halloween is doing extremely well in the search engines and directories. Example 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

  1. Home Page Changes - We fixed quite a few html problems with their site, made text changes, etc.
  2. Graphic Design - We edited their product images for their homepage, in some cases making the images transparent.
  3. Search Engine Optimization - We customized search engine killer just in small ways, due to budget limitations, but their static directory was still effective, with over 800 listings in Google, and their online store had to close down early because they had so many orders to fill before Halloween. We had them listed in the Open Directory in less than a month as well as the other top directories and engines like Yahoo, Fast/All the Web, Lycos, MSN, AOL Search, etc.
  4. Online Store Maintenance - As a result of our search engine optimization services, they experienced high-traffic in their online store throughout the fall, and we performed weekly maintenance (3-5 days) on their two stores, which included exporting and deleting old order batches, deleting expired and abandoned shopping baskets, and packing the domain and store databases.  This service helped to keep their store running smoothly.

Client Comments:

"JMH Web Services came to my rescue and saved my site after my designer quit.  Their search engine optimization services got my site ranked number one on yahoo for the number one phrase, halloween costumes. Since JMH took over, our sales have tripled..  They are always available at a moments notice to make changes, which is rare among designers. JMH exceeded my expectations, and I plan to use their services on both of our sites and future sites as well."
Wonder Brains - http://www.wonderbrains.com/

Wonder Brains - Educational Games, Toys, and Puzzles for kids and AdultsWonder Brains already had a beautiful and functional online store when they came to us.  They needed someone to help them get listed in the top search engines and directories while creating some static versions of their dynamic shopping cart, so that they would be more search engine-friendly.

  1. Search Engine Optimization - We customized Search Engine Killer to look almost exactly like their real store but attract a ton more traffic.  The static index page created from SEK2 is actually the site homepage as well.  Whenever they change anything on their store welcome screen, add or change a category, etc., they recreate their static directory and their homepage is updated too!
  2. Search Engine and Directory Submission - All Miva Merchant category and product pages and SEK2 static pages have been indexed in Google.
Boxed Greens - http://www.boxedgreens.com/

Boxed Greens Organic Produce Fruits and Vegetables for Home DeliveryBoxed Greens needed search engine and directory optimization, graphic design help, Miva Merchant module consultation, installation, and configuration along with store maintenance.

  1. Search Engine Optimization - We did something special with this customized version of search engine killer.  This client wanted their homepage to look like their store and not have to edit it when changes were made.  We customized SEK2, so that the module creates the static homepage as the website homepage.  Any time our client makes a change to their welcome screen or store, they just click one button to recreate their home page and the rest of their static pages.
  2. Search Engine and Directory Submission - In less than one month after our services, Boxed Greens achieved phenomenal results.  Examples: 1, 2, 3, 4
  3. Search Engine and Directory Reporting - We generated a report on how well their website ranked in the top search engines and directories, based on the top five key phrases of their choice and compared to their top competitor.
  4. Graphic Design - They were using bitmap images for their navigation, so we created new ones in the gif format, designed to their specifications. 
  5. Miva Merchant Module Consultation - We advised them on what modules they needed to accomplish certain goals.
  6. Miva Merchant Module Administration - We helped them with modules that were giving them problems, and that they didn't know how to correctly administer.
  7. Miva Merchant Maintenance - We have deleted their expired and abandoned shopping carts and packed their databases for a more smoothly functioning store.

Client Comments:

"Kudos to Jason Henderson. I used his services for a nominal fee to optimize my website and he did a variety of things for my site: recommended and installed SEK2 including some additional software, prepared a comprehensive analysis of my site with regard to the various search engines, etc. before he created a static page and tweaked my site for optimum searchability among other improvements, my rankings were increased within days of his completed work and my sales have increased by 500%!

I continue to consistently be ranked within the top 5 and more often am first or second. Jason is both knowledgeable and professional and the work was completed in a timely fashion. I will continue to use his services and recommend him to everyone!

Gina Verdugo."
