Down By The River, LLC. comments:
Mark,
Working with you has been a pleasure as you always have a smile on your face. I'm glad that we were able to help you convert your ideas into a reality. We look forward to the upcoming opportunity we recently discussed and the ability to continue to assist you with the expansion and revision of your brand.
~ Jared Lawandales
Down By the River, LLC has been a pleasure to work with. They handled our hosting and redesign project with ease and professionalism. They offered the site design and hosting at less cost than we were currently paying. With being so busy handling all the other aspects of our business, it was a relief to meet Jared and Stephen who were able to anticipate our needs. They always respond promptly to our requests. We appreciate these guys!
Down By The River, LLC was an excellent company to work with. They were able to communicate the complexities of my design project to me in simple terms that I could understand. The consultation and design process was very straight forward and allowed me to be an integral part of the design process. These guys were fun and knowledgeable as well as professional and punctual. A great company to work with!!
Jared Lawandales
Chief Operations Officer
My name is Jared Lawandales and I love nature, people, and music. I grew up in Brevard County and spent most of my teenage years in Tampa, Florida. My first job was at the local Taco Bell and after a short time in the fast food industry I was promoted to a management position. After several years of Corporate Yum Brand management and operations training and deciding to leave my position as General Manager at Taco Bell, I tried the world of retail for a while. Taking a position as Assistant Manager for Pinch A Penny Pools, I spent the next two years as the public “face” of our store to the employees as well as the clients. This is where I found my calling. I enjoy meeting new people and the daily insight that comes from interaction with a diversity of people. After a long discussion with my friend and now current business partner, Steven Milanese, we decided to go into business for ourselves and opened Down By The River, llc.

WWDC:
What's your name and position in the company?
Down By The River, LLC.:
”Jared Lawandales / Chief Operations Officer”
WWDC:
Describe your company in 5 words.
Down By The River, LLC.:
”Creative, Professional, Dependable, Established, Leading-Edge”
WWDC:
What's your business philosophy?
Down By The River, LLC.:
”There is more to designing a successful website than just creating an attractive design. You can have a Rembrandt of a design, but if no one is able to find your site on the web... What purpose does it serve? We develop sites with the understanding that your goal is to reach and deliver your message and or product to an intended audience. With that in mind, we work to form a strategic Internet marketing plan around search engine optimization and social media marketing that guides every aspect of your site's development from inception to deployment.”
WWDC:
Describe your office environment.
Down By The River, LLC.:
”Our office environment is a relaxed atmosphere in which we regularly work from the dock or patio overlooking the river. This helps us to be creative as well as enjoy the serenity of our environment.”
WWDC:
Describe how your team interact and work together.
Down By The River, LLC.:
”As long time personal friends, all our officers work collectively and diligently to expand our lives, personally and professionally. This collective cooperation allows us to easily overcome any obstacles.”
WWDC:
What makes you different from other web design companies?
Down By The River, LLC.:
”Our team of knowledgeable designers, SEO experts and marketing professionals will work with you to evaluate your company's needs and develop a project plan designed to assist you in achieving your online goals. We understand that our success in part relies on the success of our clients. Our clients' goals are paramount when planning the development of their web real estate. We provide an array of services including web design, web hosting, print, print design and SEO.
We have the knowledge, resources and experience to make your online goals a reality.”
WWDC:
How do you get the majority of your business?
Down By The River, LLC.:
”The majority of our business comes via local advertising, targeted keyword search, link exchanges and client referrals.”
WWDC:
Describe how you manage projects from the initial client contact to completion and handover.
Down By The River, LLC.:
”We provide our clients with a VIP experience throughout the design process. During the initial consultation, we examine your company's market, your primary competitors, and primary online objectives. We discuss the level of function and reporting your organization requires as well as any special or industry specific needs your site may need to meet. From there we work with you closely during the development of the web site. Once the initial content has been published on your newly developed site, we work with our clients to fine tune the site's design and content until you're completely satisfied with the final product. Once the site's design is complete, one of the experienced members of our staff will walk you and/or representatives of your organization, step-by-step through all of the functionality and administration features of your newly developed web real estate.”
WWDC:
What do you think is the most crucial element of creating a good client relationship?
Down By The River, LLC.:
”Communication is the key to any successful collaboration and is paramount in the developer / client relationship. Unlike other companies who communicate mainly through forms and emails, we are simply a phone-call (866-DBTR-LLC) away from addressing any of our clients perspective needs. In addition, for those clients local to the Central Florida and surrounding areas, our convenient Melbourne, Florida office is open seven days a week. Monday - Friday: 9am-6pm EST || Saturday & Sunday: 1pm-5pm EST.”
WWDC:
How do you manage demanding clients?
Down By The River, LLC.:
”All of our clients are demanding, we wouldn't have it any other way. As a Business to Business service provider we are constantly dealing with other business owners. To provide a product that is mutually impressive for both the client as well as the designer, we must meet the client's exact specifications. Without a concrete plan and goal, the client will never be truly satisfied with the final product. What some may perceive as a client being demanding or pushy, we understand this merely demonstrates a client's dedication to their success and the success of their brand.”
WWDC:
If a client was trying to decide between a shortlist of web design companies, how would you recommend they go about selecting the right one for them?
Down By The River, LLC.:
”I would recommend you evaluate them based on several factors including degree of professionalism, portfolio, experience, education, references, resources and artistic merit. This also assumes that research on their company's credentials has already been completed ie, business license, established business location, employees, etc.”
WWDC:
Where do you see your company in 10 years time?
Down By The River, LLC.:
”Our planned growth includes the continued expansion of both our design services and our web hosting / dedicated servers division, OptimalWebHost. In addition, as active "Proof of Concept" developers, we will remain committed to continuing our research, contributions and development of future web technologies, strategies and principles.
Proof of concept is defined as a short and/or incomplete realization (or synopsis) of a certain method or idea(s) to demonstrate its feasibility, or a demonstration in principle, whose purpose is to verify that some concept or theory is probably capable of exploitation in a useful manner.”
WWDC:
Where do you see the web design industry in the future?
Down By The River, LLC.:
”HTML5 is just the beginning, as new technologies are discovered the one common thread between them, is the continued advancement in the area of user interaction experience. As our technological culture continues to evolve, so does the need for more dynamic and reactive design and coding. Future technologies will be centered on their ability to wholly immerse the user in the digital media experience.”
WWDC:
What computers do you have use in your offices, PCs or Macs?
Down By The River, LLC.:
”Both PC and Mac”
WWDC:
How was your company name chosen?
Down By The River, LLC.:
”The name of our company was partly influenced by a multitude of factors including our proximity to the Indian River.”
WWDC:
If you were to give your clients one tip on how to get the most from their website what would it be?
Down By The River, LLC.:
”Be a constant advocate for your site and above all else regularly publish relevant content. Thought leadership and relevant content are the keys to better search placement. Demonstrate through your content that you are a leading expert in your chosen industry, field or market.”
