Our first computer was a very basic Atari purchased way back in the mid sixties, and our fascination with computers has grown ever since.

     Here's just a little information about how we got involved in web design and implementation. On taking a position as general manager of a San Antonio based English saddlery in 2000, it was decided that the business was in need of a full featured website. The store's customer base was growing at a smaller rate, we were losing sales to on-line retailers, and increased competition in the demographic area was eroding away at gross sales.

     When we turned to web developers for a solution, it quickly became obvious that costs for the full featured website we envisioned for the business would be in excess of $3,500.00, and would require periodic updates incurring additional charges. The most viable option seemed to be building the site ourselves. We started this project by purchasing Front Page 98 on E-Bay for the sum of $75.00. Had we known just how long it would take to master that outdated program, and how many more resources we would need to complete the project, we might have given up right then and there. Years later, after climbing that very steep learning curve, that first website was #1 on many search engines for various keywords, we shipped products worldwide, and our on-line store made a significant contribution to the bottom line each year. Sadly, the owner closed the doors on that business in October of 2007.

     Customers of that store and friends became our first clients for site construction. We here at "Site Me Up" enjoy the challenge of constructing and promoting a new website for our clients. It is always a thrill when that first retail sale is made, or increased traffic bears fruit in the form of restaurant reservations, for example.
