We’ve Been Around For a Long Time

I’ve been building different kinds of websites since 1997.  In those early days, it was mainly for family, friends, and my own amusement.  I plowed through all the old standbys: MS Notepad, Netscape Communicator, Adobe GoLive, and Adobe Dreamweaver.

Very quickly, I became an evangelist of the Content Management Systems or CMS.  I started with WordPress and was soon disappointed at how the sites all looked alike and seemed doomed to stay a blog.  Joomla!, though, looked cool, because it look more like a ‘real’ website and you could even build a nice web store with it.

It didn’t take very long, though, for WordPress to blow past Joomla! in its ability to look and feel like a real web site and do some great eCommerce things.  I dove into WordPress again and have never looked back, for some very good reasons.

In 2010, I formed Striped Ape Digital Media.  Good business names online and great domain names are really hard to come up with.  I don’t have a solid answer to “Why Striped Ape?”.  It seemed as brand-able as ‘Google’ or ‘Godaddy’ or ‘Bing’. We should all agree that those are terrible names for businesses. 

Most people can’t even pronounce it correctly. The ‘i’ is long, just like in ‘united’. So we will see. A contest may be in order to come up with a better name.

I have found the online business world to be a fascinating place.  It’s enormously challenging to try to figure out what makes a difference in the mind of the Search Engine Giants.  They have become very clever.  Consequently, those of us in the business of making our web sites rank well in their Search Results Pages also have to be as clever as they are or more so.

Owning A Different Digital Landscape

The Internet is a different type of place than it was even 5 years ago. Today’s effective web presence is more than just a simple ‘billboard’ style site with 3 or 4 pages and a phone number. Today’s websites need to offer your customers and potential customers something of value before they lay the money in your cash register.

An effective web presence must tell your customers who you are, why you are, and why you are the answers to life’s question that they seek. AND it must work flawlessly on a myriad of device sizes.  Once this is done, the real battle begins in getting your site in front of the eyeballs of viable, cash-paying customers and clients.

Search engine optimizing, social media, Facebook, Twitter are all words everyone gets hit with almost every day. Every one of these things can be daunting alone. Just think of the challenge of taking advantage of today’s internet with so many different bases to cover.

Striped Ape Digital Media can help make your web presence sleek and powerful. We can help your business or non-profit get noticed. We can conduct a very effective local SEO campaign. We can help get those new eyeballs that can make or break your next fiscal year.

Let’s get together.
