Bette started out doing her own  horse web site, as she was isolated in the  country and needed to market her beautiful  Arabians. Soon, other ranches, viewing her horse  web  site, asked her if she would design their web  sites as well. She was one of the first pioneers to  master search engine optimization in the 90’s which  resulted in her site appearing on page 1 of Google  (and Alta Vista, etc.) for Arabian Stallions, Arabian  Mares, Sport Horse Arabians, etc., where she remains today. The picture and link  to her site is found  above. A client who ordered a simpler site with horse  videos and requested the same colors is linked to  picture at left.  Bette’s roots in ecology and environmental concerns  led her to create the web site for the internationally  known Imprinting Foundation, which is reclaiming  damaged and arid lands all over the world for food  production. Although known and highly respected in  the international scientific community, Dr. Bob Dixon  has increased his reach to conservation-minded  individuals, groups and even overseas through  his  site due to Bette’s translation of scientific papers  into copy that is understandable to laymen. Dr. Dixon  was recently contacted and flown to the UAE. Upon  arrival, the Sheik told Dr. Dixon that he had become  interested in hiring Dr. Dixon after reading about his  land reclamation work on the web site. He also used  the information there for credentialing prior to  inviting the Doctor to the palace. (Bette is hoping for  a future invite in order to film and document their   progress.) Web Site Design and Development Thumbs Up Production 4275 Hord Valley Rd. P. O. Box 482 (mailing) Creston, CA 93432 Click on the Page Images to go to the Web Sites Examples of Our Client Sites When Bette’s talented daughter needed a web site, of  course, Mom was called in. Not only did the web site  contain easy to use forms which encouraged user  feedback and sales, but also a blog was incorporated  into the site which gave readers the opportunity to  comment. User interaction is currently the fastest  way to rise to the top of the Search Engine pages.   Jessica has received feedback, not only locally, but  also globally, demonstrating that her web site has  attracted a wide audience in a short period of time  since launched.  Although based in California, Lamore Marketing has  attracted business from the East Coast. The  importance of the Search Engine Optimization in this  global economy cannot be over-emphasized.  When Realtors Fred and Joan Osborne changed  companies, they needed to revamp their web site  quickly so as not to lose clients in the transition.  There was no template for ReMax so Thumbs Up had  to look at several ReMax web sites on-line and design  a site that had the ReMax look and feel, including  incorporating their logo. Joan and Fred were back on-  line within a day with their new “face.”  In fact, Thumbs Up has changed Joan and Fred’s web  site to reflect new Realty companies three times in  the last ten years and all seamlessly within a couple  of days. Realty companies do not typically have  templates; therefore, each change has required  totally new design. We are very responsive to our  clients’ needs to insure that their businesses are not  disrupted due to management changes.
