The first member of your website team is You. We’re happy to just make your site for you–BUT some of the best results come from clients directly making pages on their site. Training for you is always included in our price and WE LOVE IT when you want to participate.
We know that to get you good results at a low price all of our people have to work with three different sets of tools: Marketing Skills, Design Skill, Technology Skills.
The people of Workmen’s are not newbies to the business world. We have experience from BEFORE the internet–and that means you get to work with someone whose skills have worked in the real world, not just the internet space.
Kevin. Portland/Beaverton/Gresham
- Marketing Skills. Search Engine Guy. Very fast copywriter. He can spot a new market segment for your business with a steely hawk-like gaze from a thousand yards away.
- Design Skills. First Design Job? Making band posters to hang on telephone poles. Recent Design Job? Kevin has been working on starting a hobby business selling his ceramic tableware designs. Dinnerware that looks like the Flintstones? YES!
- Technology Skills. Kev’s career with tech began with computers that used punchcards for accounting. He moved from accounting to “computers” and stayed with it long enough to have jobs creating internal corporate networks for 100,000+ employees. He also helped invent a kind of 3D video. Between jobs he would build houses–hammers are a technology too! Now, he makes websites for people like you.
Greg. Portland/Vancouver
- Marketing Skills. Greg is very strong in the use of technical writing to demonstrate products. And that technical writing works great as the tons of information that Google really likes. Informational techniques draw the attention of search engines–then you get to tell your story and close sales!
- Design Skills. First College Major? Art History.
- Technology Skills. Greg is nearing the completion of a BS in Computer Science from WSU Vancouver.
Igor. San Francisco/Berkeley (and just how cool is it that we have a guy who is actually called Igor?!)
- Marketing Skills. Igor is the guy on our team that we all rely on to get back to the simple straight story. If your story has veered off into BS territory–Igor will get it back to earth.
- Design Skills. Igor has a very different perspective on design: he makes SOUND and Video.
- Technology Skills. Igor has a long background using personal technology–home computers–to make interesting video and audio. Igor teamed up with Kevin to create a dead cheap way to use your website to deliver ‘video’ that isn’t really video.
