I am a partner with a licensed private investigation agency: OmniTrace Corp. – Florida License # A2200304. We provide worldwide investigation services to individuals, small and large businesses, including Fortune 500 companies. Before enlisting Michael Pollock’s services, our website was several years old and was badly in need of an upgrade.

Many of you considering having a website built, re-designed or upgraded understand what a major business decision this is. Your web presence represents your company and can be an integral part of obtaining new clients and providing customer service. I was very concerned that we find the best website designer to assist us with a site upgrade.

I am so glad that I found Michael Pollock and biggerlifeblog.com! I first became aware of Michael a couple of years ago when he owned solostream.com. I had been searching on the Internet for just the right WordPress Theme for a new blog site. Michael’s theme designs, in my opinion, were the best I had come across. Not only did they look great, but they also had great functionality and ease of use. After purchasing a theme from Michael, I was very impressed with the support he provided, not only to me, but also to his other clients who had posted for assistance on his solostream.com website.

When Michael sold solostream.com and began a new business: MichaelPollock.com–offering customized blog and website design services. I knew I could trust him to do a great job upgrading our website.

Michael first asked me what our objectives and goals were for our new site. Our website is very important to me, and naturally, I talked on and on. Michael was very patient and kept me focused and on track (despite my efforts to keep yapping). After discussing the project, Michael offered me a VERY FAIR QUOTE and I immediately asked him to proceed.

Less than one week later, our new website was up and running. Michael had converted our old, outdated site into a modern, WordPress, XHTML 1.0 Transitional website with a fully functional, customized blog. The website loads fast, the images and artwork are very crisp, and we are VERY HAPPY CLIENTS!

Of course, with any new website, there is always some necessary tweaking. Michael has been very patient with me and has quickly responded to any questions and requests I have had.

I highly recommend that you use Michael for your website designs and projects. If you have any questions about the services he provided us, please call me at 561-470-8937.

I highly recommend Michael to any small business seeking web support and business coaching.

Client: Ellen Schaeffer, One Yoga Center

“When considering a re-design for an existing web site it was important to me to find a designer that was able to create a visually appealing, user friendly site that I could update myself. When I met Michael and learned of his work, I knew it would be a good match. After explaining my needs and expectations for a new website, Michael looked at my existing site. He carefully explained to me what was and was not working.

“Although I personally did not understand much about search engine optimization it became evident that this needed to be prioritized in the new design. For many years One Yoga Center “lived” on the fifth or sixth page when searched in Google. Within a matter of weeks after Michael’s redesign, I found myself on the first or second page of Google when using a variety of search engine phrases. This has been very exciting and the emails and inquiries I am receiving are evidence of the value of search engine optimization.

“My ability to update the site myself has also proven to be invaluable for my business. I save a lot of money and time by being able to make changes to my schedule and add events without having to go through a web master. It’s especially wonderful when I have made a mistake (oops!) and can go in and immediately remedy it.

“Each time I post a new event on my site I have the option to send out the posting to my email list with the simple press of a button. When people read the posting they have the option of instantly sending an RSVP. This feature has lent it self to better pre-registration for events and greater overall attendance at events. I could not be happier with the work that Michael has done. He is easy to work with, personable, efficient and responsive to questions. I highly recommend Michael to any small business seeking web support and business coaching.”

I would encourage you to use [Michael] for your custom WordPress Themes.

Client: Victor Berggren

“I hired [Michael] to re-brand my blog because of the enormous amount of positive feedback that they’ve earned in the community. If you’ve ever tried to put a new coat of paint on a web site then you already know this can be daunting task, especially if you’re looking for a professional image.

“Truth be known, I provided [Michael] with my logo and 4 or 5 blogs that I thought had nice ergonomics, that’s it. We liked the first revision that Michael provided right from the start, in fact we only had 1 change order. We feel that the new look brings a certain amount of unique professionalism and I would encourage you to use [Michael] for your custom WordPress Themes.”

His willingness to go above and beyond the call of duty makes him the ideal person to work with.

“Creating a new blog can be a difficult process and Michael made everything run smoothly for us. He was constantly answering questions and helping us fine-tune our design long after he had fulfilled what we contracted him for. His willingness to go above and beyond the call of duty makes him the ideal person to work with. I would recommend to anyone looking to redesign their blog properly.”

He stayed on budget and exceeded our expectations at every turn.

“Michael took a design we had been struggling with for months and whipped it into shape in less than a week. He stayed on budget and exceeded our expectations at every turn. Michael’s professionalism and design savvy make working with him a pleasure. He continues to provide us with great service and insight. If you’re considering launching a blog or website look no further, he’s the best in the biz.”

We were very impressed with the amount of ‘attention to detail’ spent by your team…

“Michael: Thank you for all of your help and patience with our new blog. It’s been an absolute pleasure working with you and your team. We were very impressed with the amount of “attention to detail” spent by your team when creating our blog. We look forward to working with you and your team in the future.”

Working with Michael has been an absolute dream.

Client: Kris and David Jackson
Site: www.cleverparents.com

“Working with Michael has been an absolute dream. David and I had a very specific goal in mind and Michael exceeded our expectations by making our site even better than we had envisioned. With 50 contributors and daily content updates, we needed the site to be easy to navigate, to incorporate video and images seamlessly, and to categorize new content well. He works fast, he’s amazingly responsive, he is extremely talented and he’s got a great personality to boot. If I weren’t married, I’d probably date him.”

I don’t think I’d be where I am today without [Michael's] contribution to my life and business.

Client: Helaine Iris
Site: Path Of Purpose Coaching

“I met Michael Pollock almost four years ago when I was in training at Life On Purpose Institute to be a coach. He was the assistant instructor for the class. I was new to the world of coaching and Michael was an excellent instructor and influence. He brought proficiency, and clarity to the classroom, kept the material focused and relevant and was always extremely supportive and encouraging.

“I then hired Michael as my own coach; we worked together during the critical months of my early business building. He was always professional and provocative and provided the necessary support, skill and business development savvy I needed. As well as being an outstanding coach, Michael served as an important and critical role model as I was developing myself as a coach.

“As time moved on, Michael and my affiliation evolved into a mutually supportive relationship between colleagues. Our mutual passion for learning and self-development encouraged and inspired us to new levels of professional and personal success. In the many creative projects we’ve engaged in together, Michael has demonstrated and contributed valuable, business, marketing and interpersonal expertise. Frankly, his passion for marketing is palpable which made it easy for me to wrap my self around what I thought would be an impossible task (as a non marketer) in building my business.

“Michael has been repeatedly instrumental and generous in assisting me to develop my business beyond where I could have taken it alone. In addition to his coaching and mentoring abilities, he is a talented designer and writer and has assisted me in many, many ways. In all honesty, I don’t think I’d be where I am today without his contribution to my life and business.”
