2007. The web page that I have poste3d

How did you decide on a name for your website?

Name of my company. I started out doing custom electrical installations and hence the name of my business. We are still very good at it, if not one of the best in Los Angeles.

What makes your website different from other, similar offerings?

I'm honest and I care about my clients and say so.

What is your eventual goal? (To sell it, keep it for income, secure a book or other mainstream media deal?)

Keep it!

I am in the process of redevelopment now.

A lot more work

How long have you run the site already, and how long will you continue to keep it up if you don't enjoy big gains in traffic, income or popularity?

I've been running it for a month now and I am seeing more constant results, instead of a big flurry of activity at the beginning of the month (when an ad campaign starts) and then nothing for two weeks (when after the ad campaign stops).
