About Shannon

I am a CFA registered manx breeder in Canada. With over 10 years of professional website design, graphic design and internet marketing, I have created and maintained many websites over the years.  Starting out as a Community Leader at Geocities.com in the first few years of that site’s creation, I learned html from scratch by teaching others. If you are an html novice looking for a few pointers or some one on one lessons, I can help you!

You may be familiar with Cattery Index Magazine – an online cat breeder community and cat breeder directory. This site has been around for about 5 years and is one of the top ranking cat breeder directories in North America. Currently, Cattery-index.com ranks in both Google.com and Google.ca on the front page for “cat breeder directory”.  Your might also notice that my manx breeder site, mystictails.ca, also ranks for “cat breeder directory” in Google.ca – the #1 spot, in fact. This is a solid indication that I know my stuff when it comes to Search Engine Optimization.

Please see the Portfolio page for examples of my work and other cattery sites I have developed.

Why Choose Cattery Index Web Design?

I am a professionally trained SEO with credentials. This means that I rank websites for a living – my job is to make a client’s website rank on page one of Google (no other search engine matters, Google is King and the others follow suit). Even if your current goal is not to actively seek page one ranking for your website, my SEO skills will ensure that your site will be naturally search engine friendly. Over time, you will find that your site will automatically do well on the search engines – even without aggressive SEO tactics.

If page one ranking is your current goal, then choosing a web designer without SEO knowledge is just not an option. How do you know someone is SEO savvy? They have credentials and can prove the sites they design and manage rank well. If your current web designer cannot show you successfully ranking sites they designed or maintain, then you are throwing your money away.

I design sites to be successful, not just pretty eye candy. A professional looking site that is properly optimized for search engines is what brings you relevant site visitors that want to buy your kittens or products. Flashy graphics and “cutesy” mouse pointers will not guarantee sales – relevant targetted site visitors will. Make sure your web designer has what it takes to ensure the success of your website and business.
