International CPA firm in Orange County gets a refresh!

Post by

Long-term website maintenance client and Orange County CPA firm Redwitz came to us in need of a site redesign. Their WordPress site had a look and feel that was out of date. Within a month and a half we were able to clone, update and enhance the look of the site with a new template, giving Redwitz a fresh new international look, and better navigation.

You can view the new site at: https://www.redwitz.com

Check out their recent review:

“Our CPA firm just went through a complete website redesign with GANZ Media and we couldn’t be more pleased. We’ve working with Aaron for a number of years. We’ve called him in from time to time to help maintain and update our old website, but we finally got to the point where we needed to create a new, professional image for the firm.

Aaron and his team are very responsive and extremely easy to work with. He’s made recommendations for Social Media and how we can boost our rankings.

We were very excited to launch the new website and had received positive feedback from both employees and clients.

I would highly recommend using GANZ Media.”

Post by

Jessica Baer, a Licensed Speech Language Pathologist needed a website for her new practice. GANZ Media setup and coordinated a photoshoot to showcase her new workspace, designed a new logo, and built a new SEO enhanced WordPress site for her.

The site includes testimonials, blog functionality, and showcases the services she offers.

Check out the client’s review on Yelp:

“I am writing this recommendation with much gratitude for the excellent work that GANZ Media (Aaron) did for me. I approached him to create a website for my business. From the first interaction he was clear regarding the cost, sequence of tasks and time it would take. He was also reassuring about the support he would give me throughout the process. His knowledgeable, calm, supportive attitude remained consistent through my many questions and at times, inertia and indecision. I now have a beautiful and professional website that has appropriate internet visibility, wonderful professional photographs, a lovely logo and business cards to boot! Additionally he provided advice on social media presence. The cost was reasonable, the support, availability and encouragement from Aaron was truly priceless. I highly recommend Aaron Ganz of GANZ Media for your marketing needs.”

Love Will Carry On…with Alma Blue Keepsake Jewelry!

Post by

Jewelry designer, owner, and manufacturer Nayla Mouannes approached GANZ Media after her previous web designer was unable to complete the site.

Alma Blue offers a unique selection of Memorial Jewelry designed with your memories in mind and hand crafted with love.

Each piece can hold a pinch of cremated remains, a piece of hair, crushed memorial flowers, or earth from a special site.

With a product and brand of such a sensitive nature, GANZ Media researched other competitors in this space, to strike the right balance of soothing colors, visuals, and tone. We believe the end result was a respectful and engaging e-commerce website.

In her own words, the client testimonial says it all:

“I can’t tell you how pleased I am with GANZ Media for their terrific work on my website. Aaron is a true artist who really understood what I was striving to achieve for my site as he was able to fully capture the essence of my company and work his magic. The process was seamless and straightforward and Aaron was a joy to work with. I highly recommend GANZ Media for your web services! Don’t take my word for it – visit almablue.net for keepsake jewelry.”

“Arthur Murray Dance Center of Santa Monica has been the premier Ballroom Dance Center on the West Side of Los Angeles for over five years! Joel Rieck and David Woodbury are the co-owners and we have FREE PARKING!

We recently lost our web developer and we were desperate for a new web site. We knew Aaron Ganz of GANZ Media from the Santa Monica Chamber of Commerce and from Aaron’s participation in their Young Professionals Committee. Our first call for help went to Aaron. He listened to our request for help and he knew that we needed help quickly.

Aaron helped us step-by-step to plan our new site. Within just a few weeks we had an awesome new site that works well with all platforms including both mobile and desktop. We had many, many questions and emails and calls and Aaron patiently and professionally helped and guided us.

The result is a beautiful new site, DancingSantaMonica.com. This has improved our exposure, increased our new inquiries, and this now helps us give better service to our new and advanced students. Our students use our web site regularly for our daily group and party calendar and our links to Social Media and our News Letter.

We enjoy the ease of using WordPress, Google Analytics, the SEO Keyword Research that was performed, all of our new stock photos, YouTube and Instagram Videos, plus the transfer of our pre-existing Blog Newsletter library.

Working with Aaron and Ganz Media was a pleasure, and this has increased our bottom line and we are proud of the work Aaron did for us. We are happy to give this great testimonial of Aaron’s work, and will continue to refer him through the Santa Monica Chamber and all our Arthur Murray Dance family!”

About The Wunderglo Foundation

The WunderGlo Foundation has three distinct functions, all geared toward snuffing out colon cancer and helping patients and their families take back their power over the disease:

SUPPORTING CUTTING EDGE RESEARCH AND TREATMENTS The WunderGlo Foundation will make several grants throughout the year to National Cancer Institutes and non-profit organizations that help us move closer to a cure every day. To raise the funds necessary to make these grants, The WunderGlo Foundation will host several fundraising events throughout the year, from an annual gala to poker, golf, and basketball tournaments.

PROMOTING HEALTHY LIFESTYLE CHOICES Through programming and information found on the Foundation’s website, The WunderGlo Foundation strives to inspire people to eat right, exercise, sleep well, stay positive, and honor their bodies by taking good care of them. This applies equally to those who are battling cancer and those who are not fighting the disease. At both fundraising events and on the website, The WunderGlo Foundation provides a blueprint for how to live healthily and happily.

CONNECTION WITH CANCER WARRIORS AND THEIR SUPPORT NETWORKS The WunderGlo Foundation aims to be a distinctly personal organization. Any and every patient with questions, concerns, or in need of support is encouraged to read the content on the website and on Gloria’s blog and to get in touch with any of the officers of The WunderGlo Foundation.
