Website Design & Redesign
A website html code clean-up...
 I was an artist without a website. So recently I had a web site created for me. I created the art and so forth and had the thing built. I liked it a lot, except there were these bounding boxes around buttons and text that showed up on PCs and should not have been there. Despite many tries, the person who built it was not able to fix it.
Rich Byrd and Pat Floyd of Fast Forward had done the funtalking.com site, which I love, so I called Rich to see if he could help. They not only fixed all the problems, Rich gave me some good suggestions, which I agreed to and he implemented and am now quite satisfied with my site.
My recommendations to Fast Forward!

From a DVD and CD production company...
When we contracted you, the only thing we were sure of is that our websites needed to be updated. We’re very pleased with the modern look your graphic team developed for both of our sites. Thanks to your guidance and expertise, our rankings on local Google have improved considerably! We really appreciate your ongoing support and we are happy to refer anyone in need of reliable and creative website services.

From a successful florist...
FFM&PR really helped me to get what I wanted out of a website. Their incredible design team was very patient with me and worked at it until we arrived at what I wanted. They are very service oriented and go out of their way to see that things get done.
The design of the site is beautiful and I’ve gotten several compliments from other professionals in my field. They have told me how easy it is to find and use and that it stands out far more than other sites in this industry.
This site communicates what I wanted it to. Thank You Fast Forward.

From a Construction Equipment and Garage Door Company...
The website is exactly what I envisioned it to be and it provides our customers the information I wanted to get across in an orderly, professional manner. I just love the website and tell everyone I know to look at it. It looks so professional especially compared to the ones I have seen in our industry. -Paula G. Saathoff, Construction Equipment, Inc.
We wanted to thank you for creating our website and doing such a wonderful job. We definitely will recommend Fast Forward Marketing to anyone who needs a website created. [View]

Our site has now doubled in traffic since you recreated it for us and started on the search engine optimization!" -Chris Dunn, President, Lincoln Land, Inc.
From a Wellness Center in California...
It's been really easy for me to direct the inquiries from potential patients directly to the website or the office brochure. I love the look and feel of it, and I'm sure the potential patients take it as a reflection of the quality of care they would be receiving.
From a charitable organization...
What a beautiful look. Amazing! I am so proud to promote our new website and have been. This really is a huge deal! My standard was so high for this site, it's a 'miracle' it happened. Thanks to the team for coming through and 'delivering the goods' through 'hell and high water'.
Online Store
A very successful website selling product online...
 I absolutely would not have a successful website if not for Fast Forward
Marketing & PR. Rich had to "twist my arm" (Ouch!) to convince me to put it up,
and I kept grumbling that it was probably a waste of my money. Boy, was I
wrong about that one! I made a year's worth of profit in less than 3 months,
running this site part-time, and it's been a load of fun. The great thing
about a retail site is that the money comes to you NOW--not in 90 days like
most of my wholesale accounts. And the profit is much higher with less
investment required on my end.
"Fast Forward LOVES what they do, and it shows in their enthusiasm for their
clients' projects."

Your website is exceptionally well done, and the handling of the Nacho [Libre] property is truly wonderful." -an entertainment industry executive
It's the best website I've ever seen." -an artist
Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
From a hard wood flooring company...
How exciting to see our website listed on the first page of Google! Thanks to Fast Forward, we have come from page 8 to the first page as well as being on the first page of Yahoo, MSN and probably some more that I don’t even know about.
We have a beautiful site which does a great job of promoting our product. But nobody was seeing it. Now, it is being seen by anybody who has the least interest in wood floors, and, serves to enlighten people on our business. The site also culls those who want a quality product. Those who do not want something special do not call. Those who are more discriminating do. This allows our salesman to spend his time with those most likely to buy.
Fast Forward has given me great suggestions on making our site more user-friendly and more effective. In these tough economic times, we are grateful to have the wisdom and experience of Fast Forward.

Surveys
In mid-2007, I looked in a directory to find a company that could do surveys for us and help us really understand what our clients wanted, and how we could defeat a negative perception in our public, and increase our business.
I’ve been working here 10 years now, and the company has been around for 30, but we’ve never done a full survey campaign before. I knew that we kept missing the mark for a reason.
When I looked in the directory, Fast Forward stood out to me right away. Their ad and their presentation used all the marketing smarts that I would hope a company would know, if they were pro marketers! This was the first and only call I made, to find a survey company. I talked to Rich Byrd who was the “marketing genius” I had been looking for. He asked all the right questions and delivered exactly what was promised. He took us through the entire process, guiding us in each step and the result is that we have survey information that is a virtual gold mine. For the first time, we are going to be able to really capture our marketplace. With the priceless data we got from these surveys, we are initiating a rebranding and many changes in our way of operating. This has saved us time, money and many future mistakes that we would have made if we hadn’t worked with them.
Rich is a pro and also very fun to work with. He could finish all my sentences in terms of what I wanted for my company, and what needed to be fixed. I would recommend FastForward to anyone who really wants to expand. My experience with them has been wonderful!

Electronic Search, Inc.
From a Custom Orthotics Company...
I have been in practice since 1986. I have tried many forms of promotion and marketing, sometimes at great cost. I never once had enough business driven my way to pay for the promotions I did… until Fast Forward Marketing.
From day one, every bit of marketing and promotions we did drove business to our door. It has more than paid for itself. The surveys we did were the key to unlocking what approach to take with potential clients because we know from the surveys what they wanted and what they didn’t, (unlike all my previous marketing attempts).
I have a great product and only through the efforts of Rich, Vanessa and Pat does anyone else know I even exist. Fast Forward Marketing put us on the map.
I am forever grateful.

Trade Show Booths
From a national company in the construction industry...
WOW! The booth looked great and attracted plenty of attention. I received over 50 compliments for the tower.
I was really impressed with your work on this. The booth worked very well even with no staff present. We were missing lots of promo each morning."
Durable Restoration
From a supplier to health care practitioners...
As you know, we just returned from our state meeting and I wanted to thank you and your staff for providing us with great marketing materials and booth display. Your advice and experience has been terrific and spot on. The ideas you had to drive business to our booth and the appealing design kept us busy the entire three days of the show. When I returned from the meeting, one of my colleagues asked how it went in the exhibit hall because they had several vendors confiding in them that the show was slow and that there wasn’t much business. I had no idea, thanks to you, we were so busy the entire time, I didn’t even have a chance to walk around and check out the rest of the exhibitors.
Two and a half years ago, I told you my goal was to be doing business with you twelve months later. Well a lot more time has passed and I am delighted with your efforts, but I take the results to the bank!
Thanks,
Dr. Bob Levine, Icon Orthotics
Marketing Package
Dear Rich, I wanted to write and thank you for the attractive postcard that you and your team designed for our office. You listened to our ideas and put them together with great style. We had a great response from this direct mail piece. You were extremely cooperative and never had a problem making adjustments until we were satisfied. Thank you, we look forward to working with you on our next project.
Sincerely, Suzanne Brand RDA. Office of Dr. Anthony Mancino
Fast Forward Marketing did a fabulous job designing a logo for my company--it captured the essence of who I am and the product I create. That was developed further into a beautiful web site, business cards which always brought compliments, up-scale letterhead and eye-catching postcards.
Thank you, Fast Forward Marketing for creating such a great image for my company,
Margo Seabloom, Ultima Skin Therapy Center
From a Dentist in Sarasota...
We are positively thrilled with our new look. We had been putting off making any changes to our website because we were not sure what changes should be made! You went through the process of collecting information from our current clients to find what that key ingredient was and built a new look for our website, a new key phrase and a logo to boot! Thank you for our new branding.
Tiffany David C. Sundeen, DDS, PA Sarasota Dental Excellence
From a title agency in New Jersey...
Fast Forward produced all the promo, for a very reasonable price, for my brand new company. This included logo, tagline, website, brochures, business cards, etc. So when we launched, we looked very real and as if we were around forever. All our prospects seem to assume that we are well established. And whereas I, my partner and staff have the experience in the industry to deliver an excellent product, the company itself is new. But thanks to Fast Forward it just doesn't seem that way, and the orders are coming in!
Scott Tregurtha, President, Expedited Title
From a very successful healthcare provider...
I have absolutely no reservations about recommending Fast Forward to anyone who wants more business. They are the first consultants I've worked with who deliver not just what was promised but actually more than what was promised or expected of them.
"Fast Forward developed our website from scratch, including adapting content I provided or writing it themselves something other web designers don't ordinarily do. They are continuing to add content to the site though it is already very successful. They also developed a post card campaign and this is driving people to the website.
"We are less than half-way through constructing the website (we'll be adding more pictures and graphics and articles, etc.,) and implementing the marketing program they developed for us, yet I am already deluged with new patients. My staff told me, “we can't believe the number of calls we're getting from the website.”
"Frankly, their services are a great bargain because they really know what they are doing and it shows in the results. So I completely trust them and their guidance and am very glad I chose them to do our marketing."
From a podiatrist on Fast Forward's marketing efforts...
We just got the new Florida Race Place magazine. HOLY COW, is all I have to say! Looking at that product that is so neat, crisp and professional, I am blown away! I hope you guys got an issue to see for yourselves. Wow!" -John Feulner, DPM, CO
"We have seen more from your marketing efforts over the last two months than Bob and I have seen from our efforts over the past ten. And that is no baloney. In fact, it isn’t even close. In retrospect, the generated income has in essence kept the marketing machine going and we are well out of first gear at this point in time. In fact, it would be the rare day that at least one patient in the day has not been brought here as a direct result of the web site, the Race Place ad, the Race Place e-blast or the post card (which from our first mailing we are up to about 12 people in and 11 people placed into our arch supports.) They come in knowing what we are basically about and the rest is easy for us to do.
