WordPress Consulting, SEO, Blog SEO, AdWord Campaign setup and Optimization from Palo Alto, California

Web Development

• Websites
  We develop sites using web standards, which makes them fast to download, inexpensive to run and easy to update. Also, with clean code, your website is more likely to work with all the browsers out there.
• e-Commerce
  We build online stores using affordable software like the highly acclaimed ProStores. Once your store is set up and running, we show you how to update it yourself, so that maintenance costs are kept to a minimum.
• Blogs
  The importance of blogs is growing every year. no diamonds web services specializes in setting up and customizing WordPress-backed sites. Our website, nodiamonds.com, is run with WordPress.
• Applications
  One of the miracles of the Internet is the availability of free, reliable and customizable software for almost anything you need to do. Some of our favorite open Source applications are Gallery to manage photo albums with thousands of photos, phpBB for discussion forums, and Plone for content management.

Internet Marketing

• Search Engine Optimization
  We highlight the strengths and weaknesses of your site in your website’s rankings with search engines and recommend ways to get your site to rank higher.
• Pay-per-Click Advertising
  We dare you to find a more cost effective way to advertise than Google AdWords (see our article, Relative Customer Acquisition Costs). AdWords’ text-based ads are cheap, ultra-targeted and extremely effective, if used well. They can be your main source for generating leads. We will set up and teach you how to run an AdWord campaign.
• Email Newsletters
  Newsletters are a powerful (and cheap) tool to keep you in touch with your website visitors and customers. We’ll help you develop a professional newsletter, from the first step of building an email list to the final step of archiving that valuable content on your site.

Blog Consulting

We’ve been using WordPress ever since we fell in love with this brilliant piece of software in 2004. no diamonds is part of the “official WordPress consultants” page on Automattic.com. Our work includes:

• WordPress as a CMS
  We’ve built several sites with WordPress acting as a content management system to allow for easy maintenance of your site and built-in search engine optimization. We can create a custom theme as with Bay Area Homeopathy or add an e-commerce element as with Jet Lag Formula.
• Blog SEO
  With every one of our projects, we always have search engines in mind. We make sure your blog has the right tweaks and plugins so that it is always optimized, and we show you how to keep it that way.
• Blog Setup
  We make sure you have all the plugins you will need (about 15 essential ones), and we can show you how to blog and use WordPress to its fullest potential. Here’s a blog we setup with image captions and a host of plugins in the right-hand column: Ashtanga News.
