Wild Web West

If you live in or travel to the area of Homosassa or Crystal River, Florida on the Gulf Coast, and you love to fish, visit www.grouperhunter.com .

This custom designed site use to be hosted by a less than savory web host / designer.  When Capt. Don contacted me for help, I took him by the hypothetical hand and led him to safer and much more productive territory. 

Capt Don was paying $130/mo to the crook, who was making all kinds of promises about search engine optimization, but when we looked at the web stats for GrouperHunter.com, the site was generating a measely average of 2-3 visits per day.  Is that complete and utter fraud or what?  I couldn't believe the absolute and blatant exploitation this guy in the Ft. Lauderdale area was committing - and at the same time, reflecting poorly on the web industry as a whole. 

Enter Wild Web West.  I immediately moved grouperhunter.com to my hosting server and dropped Capt Don's monthly web hosting to under $25/month.   I then made improvements to the backend by properly optimizing the site with keyword rich phrases that reflect the type of words a consumer might type into the search engines to reach this online presence ::  Offshore and inshore fishing guide in the Homasassa and Crystal River  right on the beautiful Florida Gulf Coast. 

We also setup a Wordpress Blog to accomodate Capt Don's desire to post seasonal fishing reports to keep his fans and customers in touch with whats going on in the Florida Gulf waters of Homosassa and Crystal River area.  This Wordpress Blog is cross linked to his website and generates additional traffic based upon the keyword rich content that this professional fishing guide delivers online.

One other element that I tied into Capt Don's GrouperHunter.com website is a photo gallery.   The photo gallery has an administrative backend where Captain Don can keep his customers coming back for a peek at their own photos from the fishing trip they booked.  He is completely empowered to launch an unlimited number of photos to the site.   This is a very customer oriented feature that brings such a friendly tone to the overall site content.  Customers who have hired Flats Chance Charters can visit Grouperhunter.com and see their own faces among those customers who have been on the water with Capt Don, and even email their friends the link to this photo gallery to show off their catch.  What fun!

If you don't believe me about the traffic to GrouperHunter.com, just look below at the screen print that I lifted from his statistics server just this morning while writing this article.  Today, the web statistics shown below reflect very healthy levels of site visitation - averaging over 100 visits per day.  Captain Don is getting the exposure to his outfitting, fishing guide business that he deserves.
