About
One person, one number. I design the site, host it, keep it updated, and work on getting you found. You call me and I answer.
I'm a web designer, journalist, and newspaper publisher, and I work between Fresno and California's Central Coast. I've spent more than a decade helping local businesses figure out what actually works online — and a good deal longer than that running newsrooms, which turns out to be better training for this than it sounds.
In 2006 I founded Access Publishing in San Luis Obispo County, a media and digital marketing company that grew to serve hundreds of local businesses. In 2016 I launched the Paso Robles Daily News, which I still publish. Along the way I've given dozens of seminars on digital marketing and local SEO, and I hold a Master's Certification in Advanced Internet Marketing from the University of San Francisco with a focus on local search.
Fresno Web Pro is the small, direct version of all that. No account managers, no ticketing system, no agency phone tree. You get me, and you get one number to call.
Running a newsroom and a marketing firm side by side taught me something most web designers never have to learn: what makes a page worth reading and what makes it worth ranking are usually the same thing. Search engines are trying to find the page that genuinely answers the question. So the job isn't tricking them — it's making sure your business is clearly, accurately, and completely represented, then keeping it that way.
That's also why updates are included rather than billed. A site that gets neglected decays, in the rankings and in the eyes of anyone who lands on it. Look at the footer of most small business websites in town and you'll see a copyright year from several years back. That's the failure mode I built this around avoiding.
Tell me about your business and I'll build a real, working sample of your homepage. No credit card, no commitment, no pitch call.
