Our client, Molley Klier, a 15 year veteran of the SFPD, recently started a Private Investigation business, and we built her website to introduce her to the world. The site uses Molley's descriptions of her business expertise, while we matched up imagery, colors, and modern design to fit her style.

Search Engine Optimization Basics

All Pelyon Studios websites receive basic SEO features that make them accessible to the major search engines. Being visible to search engine robots (simple and automated data retrieval programs) allows these "bots" to read your content and present them to search engine users looking for your type of content. Since they can't read images per se, bots rely on text, descriptions and titles to read your site. That's why it's important to consistently place certain keywords and phrases in your sites content that reflect your sites distinct messaging. Other factors also influence where your site ranks compared to your competition.
