Please give us a short summary of your website?
Featuring custom logo design and packages. Specializing in graphic design, web design, print ads and medical illustration. Four distinct portfolios. Great testimonials. Numerous free articles to help small businesses with marketing.
What inspired you to launch your own website?
The website enables four portfolios of design work to be reviewed by potential customers quickly and easily. Virtually all new business comes in via this process of web browsing.
When did you launch your first website, and what was it?
The first website was for this business and it was launched in 2004. It was a mix of Flash and html and not nearly as sophisticated as the current website.
How did you decide on a name for your website?
The web name is a combination of a positive business terminology, "momentum" and "18" which is a lucky number combination in several different cultures.
What makes your website different from other, similar offerings?
Versatility. I don't know of any other solo professional designer website that can offer this many services on this level of experience and success.
What is your eventual goal? (To sell it, keep it for income, secure a book or other mainstream media deal?)
I'd like to write comedy for Hollywood and I am working on a book. The book is compelling because it is an autobiography of my life. Thankfully, I have a great website that brings in work, so my family won't starve in the mean time!
How does your investment of time and money balance against your success?
I have no complaints. I am very grateful.
If you had an unlimited development budget for development, how would you change your site?
In the near future, I will likely add a blog and RSS feed, but other than that–I wouldn't change a thing.
If your site got really big, really quickly, would you be able to keep up with the demand?
Bring it on.
What unexpected costs and headaches have you had to deal with?
None.
What has been your biggest challenge?
Continually trying to increase the web traffic and monitoring how Google in particular views the website.
What method has been most successful for promoting your website?
SEO tactics to boost organic results.
How has running your website differed from your expectations?
It is much harder to achieve quality web rankings than I would have wished.
How long have you run the site already, and how long will you continue to keep it up if you don't enjoy big gains in traffic, income or popularity?
The website has been running for years and will likely continue until I retire for the design industry. It and I will continue to grow and be successful, that is the only option.
