Search Engine Optimization

Promoting your web site within the search engines in any format, whether you are utilizing Search Engine Optimization (SEO) or Cost Per Click advertising (CPC) to achieve high search engine rankings, you are engaging in search engine marketing.

If you are considering outsourcing your search engine marketing to an SEO consultant or marketing firm, be sure to ask whether you are being sold CPC listings or actual SEO services, as some may try to sell you "guaranteed" top rankings in the search engines by simply using CPC listings, on Overture and Google for example.

about town

When we aren't busy designing, chances are we are in the surrounding area recharging our creative batteries and putting things in their proper perspective.

We live and play on the north side of Lake Ontario and love to hang out in Toronto's small neighbourhood, Kensingston Market.

Dozens of tiny shops and produce stands are hidden in the labrynthine streets just west of Chinatown. Bordered by College Street to the north and Dundas Street to the south. Some of the best shops are found on these cramped little streets. South of College St., West of Spadina Ave. Toronto ON.

art for art's sake

While at a recent networking event, Sandee met vivacious, Spanish-born Rosa Guasch. A painter whose talents Sandee has not stopped talking about. Rosa captures a "feel good" sensation through bright colours and energetic structure.

Rosa left Spain in 1999. Canada has presented her with an opportunity to discover a new dimension of her artistic style.
