In 1999, I took a deep breath and decided to venture out on my own. I founded a website development business in Jupiter, Florida, called It's Your Prerogative. With the rising demand for websites, the business quickly gained momentum. During this time, I discovered an e-commerce platform that Yahoo! had acquired from ViaWeb and rebranded as Yahoo! Stores. Recognizing its potential, I enrolled as a participating designer, anticipating the growth of online commerce as the Internet evolved. It was a good decision. Only a limited number of companies were selected, and we were one of them.

To capitalize on this niche market, we changed our domain to CustomYstores.com. Years later, after completing hundreds of projects—including e-commerce sites for major brands like Frigidaire and Coca Cola, Yahoo! requested that we discontinue using "Ystores" in our domain name. Respecting their request and aiming to broaden our services, I launched WebStoreSEO.com in 2007, expanding beyond Yahoo! Stores (now owned by Turbify) where we continue to thrive.

At WebStoreSEO.com, we focus on developing and implementing strategies to increase qualified website traffic to our clients' e-commerce sites. Our efforts result in higher customer acquisition, increased conversion rates, better customer retention, and measurable returns on investment.

Over the years, we have become highly proficient in developing and optimizing sites on major e-commerce platforms, including Shopify, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, and Turbify. Each platform has its nuances in search engine optimization (SEO), and we have extensive experience navigating them.

While we are proficient in all aspects of web development and digital marketing, we particularly excel in search engine optimization (SEO) and search engine marketing (SEM). We have secured first-page rankings for many high-volume keywords across various industries, resulting in significant returns for our clients. Many clients remain with us for years—a testament to our commitment to exceeding expectations in every service we provide.

We pride ourselves on a strong track record of success and a deep understanding of the latest industry trends and technologies. Our team consists of highly knowledgeable and dedicated professionals committed to delivering top-notch services. Communication and customer service are top priorities for us because we believe that building strong relationships with our clients is key to achieving success. We are confident in our ability to help you achieve your marketing goals and drive real, measurable results for your business.

I like to say that we are large enough to get any job done but still small enough to give you the personalized service you deserve. I take a hands-on approach and am involved in every project, ensuring we deliver the highest quality work. In addition to overseeing corporate and client projects, I have personally owned, developed, optimized, and managed e-commerce and other websites on a variety of platforms. This experience from both sides of the table has given me a broad understanding of technologies and market strategies.

If you are looking for a partner—not just another web company—we have the experience, resources, and dedication necessary to help you compete successfully online. We are committed to your success and look forward to the opportunity to work with you.
