WordPress with James B.

Private company

Through Ventin, I am on a mission to help marketing agencies create attractive websites for their clients that capture leads and educates prospects so they can sell their products or services. We don't build brochure websites that serve as a simple "marketing" piece that collects dust. We build an online presence with your marketing plan in mind. I'm looking to be introduced to owners of digital marketing firms who want to outsource the technical work of developing and maintaining their client's websites. We are a dedicated full-time web development service that specifically serves digital agencies and marketing professionals.

Squiggle Group

At Squiggle Group, I had the opportunity to continue my research into building private social networks for subject matter experts. We approach experts in the fields of music, ministry, publishing, coaching, leadership and social awareness. My other projects included building front-end websites on the WordPress platform for a variety of like-minded businesses as well as server management. I also managed a team of 6 remote developers to develop custom software using PHP on the Laravel framework.

Mentorship Master

At Mentorship Mastery, I worked with personal and leadership development subject matter expert, Keith Kochner to produce online products centered around his courses. My projects included all front-end websites, an online paid audio series membership site and a paid membership private social network. I developed skills in server management, live streaming video, video production, email marketing, content marketing, product launches and membership management.

Xeal, Inc.

At Xeal, I was involved in all aspects of online business from website creation to lead generation. I managed a team of 5 web development direct reports. I reduced website production time by 75% resulting in over 135 websites completed. I developed skills in server management, Search Engine Optimization, Social Media Marketing, Search Engine Marketing (Google Adwords & Yahoo PPC), content marketing, lead capture, email marketing, radio marketing, billboard advertising, directory submissions and so much more. Because of my experience at Xeal, I always build websites from an Internet marketing standpoint.
