I’m stoked and have finally taken that bold step and launched Jex Solutions - SEO Tools & Services.
In what’s a bit of a departure from the somewhat corporate-sounding and formal copy on this site (well, except the blog… heh) I’ve written all of the copy on the Jex Solutions site in about as much of a "real me" voice as I could. Hell, I wrote some of it from flat on my back in the hospital (compressed spinal nerve) while high on morphine, you don’t get much more "real" than that! It’s cool though, I edited out the parts where I mentioned that I wanted to hug everyone and how Care Bears really are magic.
So, on to more important matters, like what this sucker’s all about.
Basically, I found that I was doing lots of data gathering and figure-finding for each of my clients on every project. Even the reporting I was doing on some relatively simple things was very time-consuming and I was troubled by the need to do it every single day (even weekends!).
So, I climbed into the PHP side of things in the backend of a (gloriously) hacked-up WordPress site and wrote some applications that would do a lot of the important stuff for me. Then, I wrote another one and made the first one better. Then I even woke up in the wee hours of the morning for one that NOBODY was doing, not even WebCEO or any of those other mobs. Then I made them all better and better until, as stated at the beginning of this missive, bit the bullet and launched it to the public.
I would love to say that none of it would be possible without the help of so-and-so or whats-his-name, but I really did do it all by myself.
I’m kidding! Sort of. Though Myles, Alex, Patrick and Brendan were all awesome for their feedback and help with things that are only going to make all of my stuff better. Thanks guys!
And thanks to those of you that have played with it, even as a concept, and offered up what you thought for me to ponder over. I may or may not have actually used any of your thoughts, but I liked having that coffee with you.
I’m kidding again! You’re awesome, all 10 of you.
So, if you’ve made it this far, GO and check it out. SEO Tools to make you say things like "cool" and "awesome" not only to yourself, but out loud.
Oh yeah, FREE first month’s membership. FREE, FREE, FREE. Get in there!
Another Redesign

The only thing worse than realising that I haven’t updated this blog in more than a few months is seeing that the most recent item in the "Latest News" section is the LAST time I redesigned the site. Poo.
Well, I’ve done it again, and I’ve done it myself this time, only with some help in the form of a talented designer that I may or may not be able to name (because of the nature of our dealings) and the rest is the raw HTML/CSS skillz that I’ve been building over the past 3 years.
So… check it out. And let me know if shit breaks, because it will, and I’d like to fix it quick.
Cheers, and Have a Good Website.
Site Redesign: Complete

Filed Under:Latest News
We’re pleased to announce that our site redesign is complete and the relaunch of the site has been a success.
You may remember that we were seeking to enlist the aid of actual designers, and this was definitely the right move, as the folks at www.addr.com were an absolute dream to work with. I would highly recommend them.
While it’s easy to hang on to something because of the sweat you’ve put into it, you always need to keep the bottom line in mind. That’s why this…
…is gone, and what you’re currently seeing is it’s replacement.
We’ve been extremely pleased at all of the feedback we’ve received and look forward to the ever-present search for ways to improve our visitor experience.
Thanks again for all your offers and valuable insight.
