2017, the year I finally hire some help

That’s it!  It’s time to get some help.  If you haven’t noticed, the Penner Web Design website hasn’t been updated in ages.  Basically, 2015 and 2016 presented some serious challenges that prevented me from doing any sort of work on it.  So, It’s January 2nd and I posted a craigslist ad to see what I can find. If you’re looking for work in the Triangle, here’s the ad:

I need a full time worker to help me with my business. This is a work from home position, but you must live in the Triangle or within driving distance.

Penner Web Design designs and develops WordPress websites. I’ve run this company for 8 years by myself, and I need some help! Here are the skills you must have. Design experience, photoshop, html, css, php, WordPress, and basic social skills so that you can talk to my clients. Anything else is a big bonus (app design, SEO, marketing).

Pay will be relative to experience. I will consider a full time position or a part time position. I’m flexible, it sort of depends what works for you. Chances are that you won’t get health insurance with this job. But on the bright side, I’m cool and pretty chill. We’d probably meet in person once a week to go over projects and what needs to be done. Otherwise, we’ll chat via skype or slack. You’ll be pretty independent, I don’t care what you do as long as you get your work done. So basically, it means you need to be a self starter.

If you’re interested, send me a resume, but more importantly, some examples of your work. Tell me what you’ve done and what you’re interested in doing.

Durham Web Design, I am owning you

My work on getting ranked for Durham Web Design is going splendidly. I’m #1 for Durham web design on Bing, #3 on Yahoo, and I’m at the top of page 3 on Google. That’s a pretty big leap in 3 weeks. I started out on page 18 of Google three weeks ago. So I’m pretty excited about this. I’ve changed a lot of the structure of my site and placed key words in strategic places. I’ve worked on my incoming links and removed all errors from my code and optimized it for all the search engines. I’ve done xml sitemaps, registered with all the search engines, registered for maps and local searches and done a million other things. It’s all paying off, literally (I got a phone call today with a new customer in Raleigh, NC).

Need to rank for a keyword? I suppose now, I can tell people I really know what I’m doing. Do a search for “Durham Web Design”, and see where I come. Then do a search for what your customers are searching for, and see where you come up. If you’re not happy with that result, give me a call and I’ll help you out.
