The website was built in several rolling phases. The client needed a website built immediately with the idea that it would grow as we progressed. So we picked WordPress to manage the content and so the client could blog. We bought the domain and launched the site 1 week prior to CFR opening to the public! So the site was setup in WordPress and let the client add all of the content. As the site took shape, we applied certain styles to the content and organized it.

Geoff Matheson was hired to build a brand and logo for CrossFit Rehoboth. He developed a great logo which was implemented within the website.

Over the course of the project lots of additional functionality was added to the CFR site, which in turn attracted lots and lots of visitors!! Currently the site gets an average of about 100 visitors a day and is growing each month. Go over and check it out yourself!

Rehoboth Beach Bodywork needed their content moved into a CMS so we chose WordPress for its ease of use and shorter learning curve for the user. Additionally we custom wrote a couple of web applications to handle the specific types of content, including massage types. We also did analysis of keyword density per page, and came up with improvements to the existing content. We also implemented some other Search Engine Optimization tricks within the site to increase traffic.

The project turned out to be very successful for both the client and us.

Please check out the Rehoboth Beach Bodywork website as a great example of a superior site done on a limited budget.

Surprisingly enough, Wilmington Delaware ranks #10 on the top 10 Tweets by businesspeople. The Fall 2010 Social Media report by netprospex (linked here) shows that a high number of businesspeople in the city use Twitter. The metrics take into consideration the number of users, number of tweets, number of followers, and number of users following the account.

Wilmington, Delaware ranked #45 in the “most social businesspeople” list. It is sandwiched between Pittsburgh PA and Oklahoma City, OK, 2 MUCH bigger cities. So #45 is not bad, considering Wilmington is a city of about 70,000 people. Additionally, Philadelphia ranked at #15 on the most social businesspeople list. Philadelphia was not ranked on the active Twitter users list.

We have been explaining the value of Twitter to our clients so we hope to help increase the Wilmington Delaware and Philadelphia rankings!

Geoff and EJHost decided we would try to finish the entire website in the 2 week project plan. It was a very aggressive schedule, and we needed to have an open channel of communication with the client. Throughout this development process the Preservation Delaware representatives clearly defined when their availability and we were able to keep the project on schedule this way.

In the initial version of the site, we were able to provide much of the functionality Preservation Delaware was looking for.

We used WordPress as the CMS using a custom designed theme. We wrote several custom functions within WordPress which provided the functionality we were looking for. One of the examples is that we wrote code to allow a visitor to submit an endangered site form, have the administrator approve that form, and then that information immediately appear on the website. All of the information is stored in WordPress and made easy to update and modify any of the information on the website.

We were really excited to present this website today to the Preservation Delaware Board Members and give them an overview of some of the capabilities. We would like to thank the entire Preservation Delaware organization, Delaware Governor Jack Markell, Delaware Secretary of State, Jeff Bollock and everyone else who attended today.

New Play Therapy Delaware Website

Play Therapy Delaware

Play Therapy Delaware was recently relaunched with its new brand and look of the website. Carol Bouzoukis contacted EJHost regarding increasing both the traffic to her website and her number of clients. Her old website needed a complete makeover + it needed to be optimized for Search Engine Optimization. The project included creation of a new logotype for her site, minor updates to copy writing, proper html and image tagging, increasing the depth of her content, addition of a blog, and keyword targeting for SEO optimization. The budget for this project was under $1,000, so most of the development time was spent on design, properly tagging her site and html optimization. WordPress was used as the CMS and a custom theme was designed. After the completion of the project, PLay Therapy Delaware is now positioned for an advertising / marketing campaign with Google AdWords or another PPC program.

Geoff Matheson Design took care of the graphic design for this WordPress site, EJHost did all of the keyword research. proper tagging, and other elements of SEO for the site.
