Love Will Carry On…with Alma Blue Keepsake Jewelry!

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!”
