Hello! My name is Ryan Farrell. I’m a web guru, creative thinker and builder of internet stuff. I currently live in Aurora, IL a western suburb of Chicago. I’ve worked with companies that make millions per year and have offices around the country to small restaurants and businesses. I’ve been building websites, applications, and marketing online for years. I have vast experience with all things web. Need a website built from the ground up? I can do that. Need a .psd sliced and diced? Yup. Need to add functionality to an existing site? You bet.
Web Development
Building sites is what I do, whether it’s just a simple 5 pager or an online community. I have experience working with companies and budgets large and small. I live for online standards, accessibility, and cross-browser testing. If you are a designer looking for a code buddy, a studio needing extra help or a company who needs some updates or modifications, I can help.
SEO / Marketing
I can and will, build you an amazing website. But it won’t do any good if only your Mother knows about. You need your website to bring you new customers to help grow your business. More potential customers turn to search engines, like Google, every day to find businesses to spend money at. Will new customers find you on the Internet? Are you using direct mail, yellow pages, sticking fliers on windshields still? Been there, done that! No thanks. If you own a florist or landscaping company and the customer types in Chicago Florist or Orlando Landscaping, does your business appear on the first page of Google? It better, because being even on the second page of Google can mean no fresh customers to help you grow your business and increase sales.
Creative Grey Matter has SEO- Search Engine Optimization solutions for all customers. Let me show you how optimizing your website for search engines and having a first page listing will get you more traffic and ultimately, make you more money. Whether you need a full website built or already have a website but need more business. I have the internet marketing solution for you.
Design
Need a site as amazing as your business? Need business cards, brochures or ads? I work with some amazing print and web designers who will help your sites or materials come to life. We also work with the top printers to make sure the quality is top notch and up to our standards.
E-Commerce
Own a brick and mortar store and don’t sell online? Why not? With infinite more customers at such a small cost, it just makes sense. Whether you sell one product or 1000, we can get them online and making money while you sleep.
Web Applications
Got a cool web 2.0 idea that needs to be built? Need a custom application to help run your business? I’ve made them and can help make your vision come true. I use php and MySQL and have created company intranet portals, online communities, and applications that run entire businesses.
Custom Scripts
If you already have a site but need to add more functionality to it, I can help. I have developed hundreds of scripts that save time and add business-customer interaction. The scripts can help to develop a strong online community for your business and your customers. I can integrate a content management system that helps you manage and update your website, a customer ticketing system that help deal with support problems, or something as simple as a email sign-up form.
