WSmad: WEB SITES MADE IN USA

Web Site Maintenance & Design, LLC has operated since its genesis in 1999 with the underlying philosophy of growth for our community and for our nation, the United States of America.

WSmad.com - MADE IN USA
MADE IN THE U.S.A.

As such, whenever possible the work done on WSmad Sites is local to the project’s home.  That is, if we’re working for a company in Los Angeles, CA, great pains are taken to insure the project is completed by designers and developers from the Los Angeles area.  We do not generally hire non-American companies to do work, although at times conditions arise that require it.

Non-Americans are capable, competent and can be cost-efficient.  We have a great appreciation for the work ethic of other citizens of the World and we work with them successfully when it is appropriate.

If we export our money to other countries, there will less money for our local economy. And that’s a problem for America.  Companies that are simply profit-driven are hurting our economy and putting Americans out of jobs – they’re making big bonuses at the expense of local workers.  We recognize that as an unsustainable business model – one that we’ve avoided since 1999.

All of the sites we host are hosted from servers of American-based companies in the United States, and whenever possible, use green energy.

We enjoy the idea of a WSmad technical artisan working on a client’s site, getting paid, and taking that money to use the service offered by WSmad’s client.  If that technical artisan lives overseas, there is no opportunity for commerce with the community local to the project.  If on the other hand he or she lives local to the project, our he or she is able to in-part support the economy local to the project.

In short, we like the idea of getting paid to use what we work on.

So if you see, “MADE IN USA” in the footer of a WSmad.com built or maintained site, know that the site was either created or is maintained in the United States by hard-working Americans.

DandGPaving.com from Torrance, CA finally goes live!

This project is of particular significance to WSmad because, as so many of our clients have struggled in the past to get a Web Site live, D&G had a web site for a couple of years that never got finished by it’s previous designer.  WSmad is capable of providing that extra service that it takes to make sure our partners are happy with what we do and ensuring that we produce ROI for them; not many can do this the way we do it, and certainly not as consistently.  That’s just the kind of service that D&G provides for it’s clients, so our companies really fit well together!

Congratulations Dan and Keith and the whole D&G Team on your beautiful new Web SIte – certainly an industry leader, just as you are!

Gianapoulos Eats Up MyLittleGreekBakery.com Baklava

“That’s the best baklava I’ve ever had!”, said Jim Gianapoulos, Chairman of the Board and President of 20th Century Fox Films after trying some of MyLittleGreekBakery.com‘s (of Christina Cole, in Torrance, CA) . And

A picture of Christina Cole's Baklava from MyLittleGreekBakery.com
A picture of Christina Cole's Baklava from MyLittleGreekBakery.com

Gianopoulos should know, as a second-generation Greek from New York, he’s gotten to try a lot of Baklava!

Gianopoulos’ assistant found MyLittleGreekBakery.com after searching for Greek Bakeries in Torrance California from his Chicago Office, and by special arrangement, picked up a try of Christina’s yummy baklava and tyropita. That just proves that WSmad’s SEO tactics work, even on our super-low budget projects designed to help our clients and friends get a solid start on their business.  It’s all about ROI, from day one.

These folks know their Greek food, and I wouldn’t want to talk to Mama Gianopoulos if word ever gets back, but we just hope she would be proud of the fine Greek tradition being celebrated and passed on by Cole and her family to our Southern California neighborhood.
Now, let it be said again that EVERYTHING Christina makes is phenomenal – from Greek traditional pastries like Baklava and Tyropita to her Magical Bars and Krispy Treats (and all the other stuff we’ve gotten to try!)  But when somebody like Gianopoulos, who grew up around fantastic Greek cooking and probably doesn’t spare expense to have the best available gives praise to Greek cooking, you have to take note.

We already knew it, but YOU GO, CHRISTINA!

Order up a plate from MyLittleGreekBakery.com before word gets around too much and she raises her prices!

Peters Realty Center Presents Foreclosure/REO Workshop Wednesday, March 18th 2009

Nick Peters is at it again with another phenomenal Foreclosure, Short-sale, and REO workshop near his office in Redondo Beach on the evening of March 18th, 2009.  I just can’t stress what a fascinating look this is into the whole process, whether you’re an investor or a seller, or just interested in the status of the market.

NickPeters.com from Peters Realty Center- Your Real Estate Resource
NickPeters.com from Peters Realty Center- Your Real Estate Resource

Unfortunately, Nick’s workshops fill up fast, as it’s the only way to learn about his famous (or infamous) “list”.  Nick has compiled the most complete listing of Foreclosures and REOs in the US – far more comprehensive and updated than anything else on the market.  Nick has always had the pulse of the Torrance/Redondo, Beach Cities and Palos Verdes market, especially for young families.  But now he understands it even better with a complete picture of the REO market.

Nick’s presentations are actually entertaining and fun as well as incredibly informative.  WSmad recommends!

Under construction: go to www.NickPeters.com to get in the door – seating is VERY limited!

Susan Lilly’s LillySilks.com is Hand-Making Gorgeous Exquisite Silks

And while we’re stunned by their beauty (and have bought quite a few already for recipients that are stunned), we’re more excited to help her offer this gorgeous couture for sale through her web site. These are simply beautiful.  Elegant.  Lovely.  Everything you could want about a silk scarf. They aren’t some cheesy brand name, they are each one of a kind, they are something nobody else has. And we think they’re a steal, and everyone here keeps trying to convince Susan to raise her prices!

So, if you’re interested in a great gift for that somebody who has everything, this one is hard to beat!  Go buy

Susan Lilly's LillySilks.com, a Redondo Beach business bringing hand made silk scarves to a select few
LillySilks.com

one before Susan, that nut, gets more sane and doubles their prices!

Seriously though, Susan isn’t a nut.  She’s beautiful as are her works, dignified, unique, art.  Her daughter did the site design but wasn’t able to dedicate the time really required to get this thing off the ground, so WSmad is proud to have taken up where she left off to help this neat Redondo Beach business hit the Holidays running.  Susan Lilly will only be making a maximum of 100/month of these, and when word hits the street, demand will surely outweigh demand, and we mean SOMEthing!

As most of you know, or should at least, we don’t do the cheesy sales pitch thing, normally. But when you see this stuff, you’ll understand why we’re excited.  It’s beautiful.  It’s unique.  And it’s pretty danged inexpensive, for the level of quality and uniqueness you’re getting.

Also, if you want to do something REALLY exclusive, you might be able to convince Susan to let you join Club Lilly.  Not many people will be allowed to do this, but as the business is young, you might be able to get her to let you in…

Go Susan!   Check them out and get one before they’re all gone!  www.LillySilks.com
