About Us
Cristers Media is an expert web developer, SEO guru, and paid search extraordinaire.
Not Your Average Web Agency
Perhaps we are known more by what we don't do, rather than what we do do (he he). We do not settle for average. We do not ignore our clients emails and calls. We do not worship the almighty dollar.
My commitment as the owner of Cristers Media is 3-fold:
- Communication: Your emails and phone calls get responded to right away. Updates and progress reports are proactively delivered.
- Education: With the heart of a teacher, I love to educate clients about what I do and how I do it. You'll always know the "why" behind the "what".
- Dedication: As your dedicated team member, I'll relieve you of the burdens of website and online marketing, so you are free to do what you do best (or skip town and relax for once).
Who is This Buddy Fella Anyway?
I’ve been designing, developing and marketing websites since 1999. It all started with an elective class my senior year of high school and quickly grew into a hobby and then a career.
After 25 years of experience, I can honestly say I still love what I do. But that hasn’t always been the case.
In the early years of my business, I enjoyed creating websites for non-profits and small businesses. I earned a respectable living and my clients were happy with their shiny new websites.
But there was a disturbing trend...
Husband, father, digital marketer. Love language is homemade guacamole.
Several years ago, I noticed a disturbing trend. The first time it happened, I thought it was an anomaly. But then it happened again and I chalked it up to coincidence. After the third time in the same year, I knew a trend was developing and I had to do something about it.
Three of my clients had gone out of business in the same year. First it was a construction company in California. Then, it was an online survival store. Finally, a textiles company in Nevada was calling it quits.
It felt like a punch to the gut. In fact, I thought I was partially to blame. “Could I have done something to help prevent this,” I asked myself.
It wasn't enough
I quickly realized a nice looking website was no longer enough. In fact, it wasn’t even helpful for these clients to give them a great looking website, only to walk away and wish them luck in their online marketing efforts.
The same folks who needed an upgraded or brand new website, also needed marketing services - necessary and valuable services that would keep their businesses alive and growing.
Not too long after that, I had a long-term client of mine reach out to me about marketing. I had been maintaining her website for several years while she went through various marketing consultants and agencies, only to be outright burned or just disappointed with their lack of results.
When I took over her marketing, her business began to grow rapidly. She got real results from the services I provided her. In fact, her sales doubled in about 12 months.
She was thrilled (and so was I)!
It probably took me too long to fully realize what was happening, but I knew I needed to pivot to online marketing instead of just building websites and leaving my clients to fend for themselves in the brutal world of digital marketing.
So that is now my main focus - digital marketing. My aim and goal is to deliver quality results for every client...expert web development and online marketing that actually works.
I now have several clients for whom I’m doing ongoing marketing for on a monthly basis, and I have space for a few more. I am truly enjoying helping my client's businesses become more successful.
But I have a confession to make…
My Confession
Digital marketing is not my passion...let me explain.
My career in digital marketing is a means to an end. My true passion is my Christian faith and my family. These two things drive me to become successful in business so I can give more time to my family and give more money to causes that matter to my family.
Causes like widows, orphans, and the less fortunate.
God has blessed my wife and I with four beautiful, healthy children. We are completely content with our life and our family. However, it seems wrong to get comfortable and do nothing to help those less fortunate.
Giving Back
We have committed to putting our faith into action. No less than 10% of our company profits are given away to charitable organizations we believe in.
Whether it is sponsoring a child in Guatemala to help him get healthcare and education he desperately needs. Or volunteering at our local pregnancy resource center, we enjoy giving our time, talents, and treasure to "the least of these".
So if you are still reading (seriously you're not bored yet?), please understand that the service I provide you and your organization is only a means to an end. An end that reflects a higher standard that comes from a higher calling. One that lends a hand up to those who have lost hope.
Got a question or two?
You may just find the answer below. I'm not sure if these questions are asked much, but it's stuff I feel like you should know. So let's go!
Don’t take my word for it. Here's what my clients say.
I want you to be 100% thrilled with your website and online marketing results. Here's a few clients who are.
I have been working with this company for probably over three years at this point. They have great pointers for improving my website & SEO. They have been unbelievably responsive anytime I’m having issues with my website or needing add-ons or changes. I haven’t had as good a service from the many others that I’ve worked with in the past. I look forward to continuing my relationship with them as they are terrific.
