Exciting Update!

Where does the time go? Since my last post in March of 2010, we went on a sailing charter vacation to the beautiful British Virgin Islands in early April. We then returned to our home in Arizona where we had more friends and family come to visit. Then we packed up and left Arizona, bound for Victoria, British Columbia in late April, stayed on Vancouver Island for May and June, took another week long charter sailing vacation around the coastal islands and the Sunshine coast off the mainland north of Vancouver. Then we travelled back to our summer home in Alberta in late June, flew back to Las Vegas for a week long website SEO and marketing seminar, finished up with a few days at our home in Arizona, then returned to Alberta in early July, where we settled down for the rest of the summer until we migrated back to our Arizona home in Early October. Whew! Looking back, I guess we've been fairly busy!

Last spring we attended a Meetup in Phoenix, with SEO Optimization and Website Marketing Guru, Roy Reyer. We were very impressed with his presentation and the information provided, so we decided to sign up for the week long course in Las Vegas that I mentioned earlier. We also asked Roy if we could hire him for a personal consultation on the challenges that we have faced with on our website, www.electrical-online.com.

Our site has been on the internet since back in 1997, and was built using the now obsolete web development software, Frontpage. To make a long story short, we've been a bit handcuffed by this issue and that has resulted in a fairly stagnant website in the past months.

Our meeting with Roy spawned a partnership on our website, and a plan of action for re-designing our site using WordPress, and a marketing plan was put in to motion. The first step was to design and build the new site, and the management of that project was charged to David Evans, one of Roy's consultants on his team.

That brings us to the exciting part of this post.......the new website was launched on Saturday, November 27, and is now up and running!
