Welcome to Our Blog

It’s always exciting to launch a new website. This website design was structured to showcase this beautiful ranch in Oregon that breeds some of the nations best alpacas.

This website design features a content management software package that allows the user to manage their content. We also did a full SEO package to make this website rank in google organic searches.

This website also feature a custom software developed by Selle Design Group to easily manage animal entries. Once the animals information is entered and saved, the animal is displayed on a category landing page with other alpacas and a detail page is created automatically. It is important to have all this content on your own site to gain SEO benefits.

The next step for this website is a fully integrated shopping cart that will feature items from the ranches store. They carry many products made from alpaca. If you have not worn alpaca, do yourself a favor and buy something from their store. It is a bit higher in price than basic wool but the lightness and the smooth texture are well worth it. It is truly one of the finest fibers on earth.

When creating an e-mail or ad, make sure you are giving your viewers a reason to come to your place of business – create a CALL TO ACTION. This can be accomplished by giving a discount or featuring a special. Then create a SENSE OF URGENCY by limiting the time of your offer or limiting the quantity available for the special. Put this information in the top part of the e-mail/ad and the extraneous information below. Call us for more ideas on how to successfully market your business.
