Sometimes life imitates art - I had a Carrie Bradshaw moment when my PC decided to blink that…read morehorrendous smurf-blue screen and go to sleep at the most inopportune time when I had significant, time-sensitive deadlines to meet for grad school. Initially, the dweebs at Geek Squad came to mind - but I've used them before and I have never been satisfied with the level of support or the response-time it takes to get someone to commit to helping me by a specified time. To me, the measure of a service provider is the turnaround time. I didn't have 5 days to wait, let alone 48 hours. So I nixed the Geek Squad and took to a local search on the Internet to see if I might find a genius who could nurse my laptop back to life and retrieve my docs. I located a local firm, Element 26, and sent an email inquiry highlighting my problem. I was pleasantly surprised to receive an email and a call from Element26 within a few hours of my initial message. By the next day, my computer was operating once more. The gentleman was able to quickly diagnose the issues with my computer and went to work to fix my machine. Amongst the things he did was help partition the computer, eliminate some of the 'clutter' and things that were bugging my operating system that caused the system to crash and/or lock-up. I consider myself fairly advanced with computers, but whatever he did was more behind-the-scenes, under-the-hood-of-the-car-esque. My computer hasn't had a bit of problem since, but if it should, I'm going to speed dial Element 26. Definitely go to them if you're in need of computer support and you don't want to advertise to the world that you've got Geeks on-site who drive white-and-orange VW beetles. And if you're wondering - their guys looks like normal dudes with a healthy skin color who doesn't stay indoors all day to play World of Warcraft and computer games. Recommended for great support, computer expertise, and client focus.

About five years ago, I began to be interested in creating a blog. I knew nothing - nothing about…read moresetting up a website, much less adding posts. I called and met with Dan at Element TwentySix and he helped me think through my desires and concerns and understand my options. Then he helped me with the design and implementation process. For the last five years, he has been my web guardian, making sure that my site is appropriately up to date and protected, all at a reasonable cost. Now I know something: if it's a doable tech task, Dan can probably do it and promptly. Good guy.

I own a small business, so spending money on an SEO firm is a big deal to me. So many companies…read moreclaim they can move you up in the Google search rankings, but obviously only a few can deliver. Dallas SEO Dogs delivered for me. I had an initial meeting with Curt (who I think is the owner). I told him that I knew nothing about SEO and didn't have time to learn about it-- that I needed to spend my time working on my business and that I was leaving everything Google-related in his hands. Curt told me it would take about 5 months for me to move up the search engine ladder. I started out on page 7, and now I'm on page 1 after 5 months. MONEY WELL SPENT! I now get business calls every single day from a google search. Shay is my main contact with SEO Dogs. She handles my account, gives me instructions and answers any questions. More important to me-- I literally just hand it over to her and she takes care of it. I don't want to learn how to do all this stuff myself. This company also understand that my website and social media accounts need to be ME, and not them. I don't want someone else's voice representing my company. So they let me write what I want and incorporate it as necessary. Thanks SEO dogs. Here's to another year!

As a business owner, it is important to understand the impact that digital services like web design and exact keyword domains can add when growing your brand. They offered a free consultation, where they evaluated my current website and then offered a strategy to give my site a fresh look at a price that beat other local web design companies in the area. Their team was fast to deliver the finish product, and kept in constant communication with me during the entire process. I will be using their services for other projects in the future.

Geek Artist is really great! We initially started with them because we wanted email addresses that…read moreweren't yahoo or gmail, got tired of having to deal with ISPs, especially when we had to move, and decided to register a domain. There are places we could get this done for a little less money, but the level of service we get from Geek Artist is worth more than the difference in price. Initially, I had plans of putting together our own personal website, but the time involved in planning that has proved more than I care to devote. After seeing some of the web sites that Geek Artist has designed, I referred friends who needed help with small business sites, and am now getting my own site worked out through Geek Artist. Other hosting and web design services seem to either provide really poor service or poor follow through, but Geek Artist has done a great job meeting all of my needs and exceeding my expectations. I've recently gotten a copy of the web design book, Website Wonders Made Easy, that Janice wrote. It's helped with my understanding of the process a lot, and if I had more personal time, I might use it as the springboard for building my own website. Since I don't, it really gives me the confidence in Janice and Geek Artist that they know what they're doing.
