Texas Biz Solutions, a Tyler Web Design and Web Marketing Company

September 27th, 2011

Texas Biz Solutions has an integrated approach to web design by including web marketing as a part of their overall strategy to offer value to the clients that choose them to be their web design company.

What this company does that sets them a part from the competition is search engine optimization work that involves four key things:

Video Marketing

Article Marketing

Backlinking

Social Media Marketing

A good website is a great thing to have but driving traffic to it is just as important. You can build a brand and traffic to your website by buying ad space on local Tyler TV stations and radio. With this media strategy you could expect to receive a couple hundred search visitors to your website daily from this exposure.

Some small local Tyler businesses simply do not have the budget to build their brand and business in this way and so this is why a web design company that offers search engine optimization and social media marketing is so important.

SEO and social media are your two biggest levers right now in marketing strictly through the internet. In some cases I have seen companies receive more traffic through Google plus, Facebook, and Twitter than through some very good SEO strategies.

If you are lost as to what SEO is it is simply this:

Getting your website to rank for keywords people type in search engines to buy the type of stuff your business sells. For instance, if you sell hand dryers for bathrooms you will typically not find this in a Lowes or Walmart. If someone were to type in a search engine “Tyler TX hand dryer equipment” you would want your hand dryer website to come up if that is what you sell.

An SEO company can offer an integrated approach of web design and on page and off page SEO that allows your companies most popular search terms to bring up your website when people type those terms in Google, Yahoo, or Bing.

By using a company that is good at both web design, user experience, SEO, and social media you can knock out several things at once while working with a limited budget.

Chuy’s in Tyler Texas

October 28th, 2010

Join our Tyler restaurant coupon list

Tyler Texas keeps getting these new and great restaurants coming to town. When will it ever stop? Not that I care for it to stop but it just seems like restaurant overkill.

Chuy’s Tex-Mex Restaurant is one of those Austin Texas restaurants I remember as a kid that had a type of 1980’s flare about it.

Chuy’s opened in downtown Dallas but it didn’t last and was eventually closed. I think they found some better locations in the Dallas area since over by SMU off of I75

Chuys in my mind is better than On the Border but then again I was a kid when I ate there. I never really thought they would one day be in Tyler.

That old Brass Lion building by Lowes and Spring Creek Barbeque will be torn down and Chuys will be built in it’s place. This will give Chuys a prime location in Tyler.

I thought I would slip in this Tyler restaurant coupon discount email list you can join. We send you good solid valuable Tyler restaurant coupons and offers right to your email. Type in your email and click “Submit” and your done!

Chuys in Dallas is kind of a cool hang out place for university students and people with really colorful Cowboy boots. I am not sure what type of crowd it will attract in Tyler.

Lowes in Lindale

April 16th, 2010

LOWES, Lindale
3200 S main Street
Lindale 75771
903 579 2470

Lowes is a huge building/garden/home improvements store. Lowes of Lindale is easily accessible to the North part of Tyler, just minutes from the I20 or from Hwy 69. Lindale Lowes carries a larger range of product lines and seems less busy than the Tyler store. Add to that a huge parking area, friendly staff and a great garden center and you’ll never want to shop at the Tyler one again!
Lowes is well laid out and clearly signed. There are wheelchair carts available for those who don’t want to walk through the store and some fun carts for kids which make them feel like they are driving a car.

You will come across different departments depending on which door you enter. To the far right is the building supplies, lumber and garden sheds, the middle door opens into the home area (lighting, décor, hardware etc.) and at the far left you will come to the garden and seasonal section. At the back of the store are the appliances, kitchen and bathroom section plus a fairly good range of carpet and rugs.

In addition to what has been listed, Lowes sells: plumbing materials, cabinetry, doors and windows, tiling and flooring, decking, roofing, paint, electrical items, window treatments, lawn furniture and mowers, tools and power equipment and lots, lots more! Lowes is always our first port of call whenever we need anything for our home.

The staff are very helpful. They have specialists in each department who are on hand to answer any questions and help you find the products you need. If you need help and can’t find someone, there is a call bell system. I would imagine that many of these people have been tradesmen in that area in earlier years but no longer want to climb roofs or fix drains in their 50s.
The customer service is excellent. My husband repeatedly buys things that he finds he doesn’t use and they give a full refund with a receipt, or a giftcard with no receipt. Occasionally we receive special offer mailing and coupons for our next project. You can get a trade account at Lowes too. There are often special offers at Lowes – you will find these in their mailings or on their website. The clearance section is also very good for bargains. My husband has had some good finds on damaged cabinets which are heavily reduced and only need a little attention.

I like the ‘how to’ and advice leaflets on display and the magazine selection which has great ideas for home improvements.

The garden center at Lowes Lindale is very good. They have all sorts of bedding plants, trees and plants plus seeds. Also lots of different soils, mulches, fertilizers and things for pest control, plus landscaping items. The garden center at Lindale Lowes is so popular that the other Lowes in the area (including Tyler and Longview) send their clearance plants here. Bargains abound!

There are a few minor negatives – firstly there is no café in store, but there is Subway, Chilis, Posados and KFC nearby, plus Walmart. The restrooms are well maintained. The second negative is that there is no equipment for hire.

A great positive for us as a family – Lowes have children’s projects twice a month where the kids get to bang nails into a precut wooden creation. We have now have Lowes cars, buses, toolboxes, mailboxes and even bird feeders! All projects and equipment is provided free of charge.

As you can see, we are great fans of Lowes Lindale!

Experienced Plumbing Work For Near Half The Normal Price

December 9th, 2009

You can reach our preferred Landscape and plumbing fixit Tyler home contractors by calling Tim and Christi at 903-769-9485

We have used a few different plumbers to help us with our Tyler homes renovation projects but we really lucked out with our latest contractor. Before finding our current plumbing contractor I brought in some different plumbers that charged anywhere from $65 – $75 an hour and didn’t really seem to have the type of experience and ability that I would expect for paying $65 an hour. These other Tyler Texas plumbers got the job done but at a cost I cannot continue to afford to pay.

My cabinet painter told me about an experienced company that could hook up my sink and dishwasher correctly and for a good price. He explained that this company is affordable and experienced. I called Tim and Christi up with Wildflower Landscape and Irrigation and they came over and began the work on the Moen sink faucet set, the sink, dishwasher, and refridgerator. They were meticulous to make positively sure there were absolutely no leaks. They installed a brand new sink faucet set I bought at Lowes and made it look perfect. They also got the dishwasher into my custom cabinets in a really snug fit. They installed the cabinet fitting over the dishwasher so the dishwasher was established in the wall.

The refridgerator was hooked up to the water and works great. The sinkerator food disposal was also hooked up by Tim and Christi with Wildflower landscape and irrigation. The button for the disposal was installed into our granite countertops and the whole setup looks perfect. They were able to complete the job quickly and without any problems. I was very happy with their professionalism and how much care goes into their work. Tim and Christi really care about the job they do for their customers and it shows. You will notice that they never do a half way done job but always go above and beyond to the point of perfection which is many times not the case when working with a Tyler home building contractor.

We do not recommend every home building contractor that comes into our Tyler TX home but we are more then pleased with Tim and Christi of Wildflower Landscape and Irrigation.

You can reach Tim and Christi at 903-769-9485

Tim and Christi with Wildflower landscape and irrigation specialize in retaining walls, rock walls, ponds, and waterfalls. They have done landscaping work on several million dollar homes throughout East Texas, Tyler, and Hawkins.

Affordable Quality Cabinet Makers in Tyler Texas

November 24th, 2009

Mitch West with Cupboards Plus can be reached at: 903-963-8606

When deciding on cabinets for our home remodeling job I had to decide between those premade cabinets you see at Lowes and Home Depot and the custom ones you see in those fancy Cascade homes. The price difference is dramatic especially when installing them yourselves. Sure Home Depot and Lowes has custom cabinets also but their prices seem out of this world compared with what you can get with local custom cabinet makers. I had no idea about the cabinet making business, prices, and quality of product our there going into this but I quickly found out a lot.

When picking your cabinet company that will deliver and or install your cabinets you really want to do a little consumer research. Thank goodness you came to this article as I will give you my own consumer research and experience from picking and ultimately choosing a custom cabinet maker in Tyler Texas. What ends up being on most peoples minds when going into the cabinet buying process is what about Lowes and Home Depot cabinets?

The main problem I have with Lowes and Home Depot is that you are locked into a set dimension. Sure you can have custom orders with these home remodeling companies but that is when these companies really hit you on price. So lets say you avoid custom orders with Lowes and Home Depot to keep your costs down. If you have a 38 inch wide opening you may end up only being able to buy a 36 inch cabinet and then buy filler strips so it looks a little better. If you were using a custom cabinet builder in your local area of Tyler you could have the cabinet made to exact dimensions.

A big apprehension I had going into this custom cabinet process was just what type of quality could I expect from a local Tyler company to make something that looks as good as what you see at Home Depot? Well have you been into Don’s TV’s and Appliances. If you haven’t you need to as you will see a whole new level of cabinetry that Lowes and Home Depot just can’t deliver on. The custom cabinets in Don’s were made by Mitch West’s custom cabinet company called Cupboards Plus. I did not realize this back in the day but eventually I came full circle through recommendations from people I know that the guys that did Don’s cabinets are the same guys people were telling me to use.

I met up with Mitch West and one thing that immediately had my attention was the amount of choices and detail I could pick from. There was no end to the amount of wood cuts for the doors, cabinet sides and crown molding. Because of the amount of choices you have available you can get real creative with your cabinets. So my apprehensions were laid to rest as far as what the wood would look like but I was still unsure if they could deliver on the type of stain or paint technique used on the cabinets. I went back to Don’s TV and Appliances to get a second look at just what could be done and there are just as many if not more examples of what type of paint technique and wood stain that can be applied to your cabinets as you will see at Lowes and Home Depot.

Another issue that comes into play is the amount of filler joints you will need to make your Home Depot cabinets look like one piece. You will usually have 5 or 6 cabinets from Home Depot screwed together with many joints between each cabinet to make it look like one piece. With a custom cabinet you can usually have a whole piece per wall with no filler joints needed. The subtle difference in having cabinets with no joints really gives off a look you just would not foresee unless you had chosen to go the custom way. With a custom cabinet you simply can build what you want to exactly fit your kitchen. There are no filler pieces and the quality of wood product far exceeds what Lowes and Home Depot uses for their cabinets.

We had a unique custom cabinet situation as our kitchen was built in 1912 and was originally a small farm house. The slab is a very bad pour and so there are some slopes in the kitchen. The ceiling is also a plank board ceiling and isn’t exactly straight either. If ever there was a custom cabinet makers nightmare I believe our kitchen would be that nightmare. Through a measuring technique and crown molding they were able to create an effect that makes the ceiling and floors to appear level. Your eyes are not distracted by obvious slopes and valleys in the kitchen floor and roof. Also the upper cabinets were made at different heights so the bottom level is all the same height where the back-splash comes up to so the line for the back-splash remains level. When using a local Tyler custom cabinet maker you can have weird corners done custom unlike a pricey custom order request that would be required when going with Home Depot or Lowes. Now if you had Lowes or Home Depot cabinets delivered what chance do you think you have of these cabinets being installed with this level of experience? Consider that nothing was custom made for your kitchen situation when using these larger national brand companies.

So lets go through a typical persons experience even like what I had when walking through Lowes or Home Depot and observing their cabinet demos. I am always impressed at these stores with the whole turnkey product you see. The cabinet doors always look amazing and the hardware choices are unique when examining the door handles. I usually pay close attention to the immaculate paint styles and stains on the cabinet doors and sides. The cabinets appear so well done that it would seem impossible for a small customer cabinet maker in Tyler to be able to do the same or better. Well let me tell you my assumption that a custom cabinet maker could not do a better job than what you see at Lowes and Home Depot is way off. If you are a typical Tyler home owner unfamiliar with the construction trade you may fall into this same uninformed category as me.

Here are some questions a real custom cabinet maker will likely ask you to ask a Lowes sales person:

What wood material are the cabinets built out of?
The price per foot says $40 a foot but what is the total package price? (Most people that buy Home Depot and Lowes cabinets do not know what the whole turnkey price will be)
Are they plywood ends, partical board, a special grade of contact paper?
Did you know partical board is sawdust and glue?

Here are some points to consider on why a custom Tyler Texas cabinet maker is a much better choice than choosing stock cabinets from Lowes or Home Depot.

Instead of possibly lower quality materials you get plywood construction with hardwood face frames and doors.
You can usually get custom cabinets back in a little shorter time frame than what Lowes and home Depot deliver in.
From what I understand Lowes and Home Depot usually call in an order to North Carolina and get the cabinets back in 2 – 3 weeks. With a custom cabinet maker you usually have a quicker turn around time than that.
The staining and painting techniques that can be applied to your custom cabinets look the same and better than what you see at Lowes and Home Depot.
Sometimes what you get at Home Depot or Lowes may be built out of partical board or medium dencenty fiber board. The coating is similar to firmica that is poured and baked on.
You get a much better quality cabinet using better materials when going with a custom cabinet maker.
You Keep the money with Local Tyler companies rather than large national brands.
Your not saving a tremendous amount but the quality and customability of your cabinets is much better.
