Repeat business is the best kind.

Visionary Composites is a carbon and fiberglass manufacturer in the automotive and motorcycle industry with dealings strictly in high volume B2B. I designed the website for their B2C brand, Crown Moto USA. It’s a small website utilizing a content management system powered by WordPress, making updates quick and effortless. I’m always pleased when my clients come back to me for my web design and web related services in their other ventures. It lets me know I’m doing something right, thanks guys!

My favorite Subaru tuning shop in the greater Los Angeles area.

If you read my blog regularly or own a Subaru, you probably recognize the name YimiSport. They’re a leading Subaru performance tuning shop based in Santa Clarita, capable of handling all your install and dyno tuning needs. The owner Paul Yim and lead tuner Paul Leung are good friends of mine; I’m honored that I’ve been asked to tackle their web design needs with a fresh look and e-commerce solution. I’ll also be search engine optimizing their website to increase traffic and conversions. The project will be added to my work with a complete overview as soon as it’s completed.

A few months back, YimiSport did a motor swap on my 2008 Subaru WRX STi when my headgasket was lifting. They threw in a Cosworth Short Block Assembly, ACT Street Performance Clutch Kit, Cosworth Intake Manifold, and some other go fast goodies. My Subie’s running strong with safe, reliable power; not much more you can ask for!

You can also look forward to her new blog we’ll be launching to generate social media traffic. Stay tuned!

Just launched www.team-scs.com, check it out!

I’m always going on about how blogs require a serious commitment and should be updated frequently, everyday if possible. Well, I didn’t update my blog for a month, oops! I have a couple good excuses though, which I’m sure you’ll find reasonable. First, I had to work on a lot of client websites, which as you know, is what puts the gas in my race, I mean, the food on my table.

Secondly, I was building a website for my racing team, inspired by Project D (just kidding). If you’re interested in checking it out, the website is www.team-scs.com. Ferdie Ang and I have been working very hard to get all the ducks in order for the team in regards to generating revenue and putting together a racing budget. Let’s face it, racing on your own money gives you control, but racing on someone else’s money is just better!

Well, actually it’s not quite that simple. The biggest focus for me was figuring out how to turn it into a business as opposed to just a hobby, rather an entity that could generate income independently. With that in mind, I tossed around a couple ideas including but not limited to: e-commerce, affiliate marketing, lead generation, advertisement, etc.

I don’t want to give away all our secrets, so we’ll leave it at that! But so far we’re doing rather well; Team SCS is now an authorized seller of DC Shoes Autoworks Collection apparel and accessories, which includes the Subaru Rally Team USA, Limited Edition Gymkhana Project, Block Teamworks, and Pastrana Teamworks. Not bad for the first month out right?

Our e-commerce store is also loaded with a ton of racing parts that the team actually has tried and tested in high performance driving events all over California. We know what works and what doesn’t; it’s a great opportunity for us to demonstrate our authority on the subject of our cars and modifications. Again, I don’t want to let the cat out of the bag just yet.

In terms of the Mediapainter website, I’ve moved a few things around, and I’m going to run a couple PPC campaigns this coming month for some testing. I’ll be updating my archive of work very soon with the new projects I’ve been engaged with over the last month or two. Please check back soon!
