01 About Grassfrog
Who We Are
Grassfrog Technologies LLC is a privately-held company located in South Dakota. We have specialized in small business websites, natural search engine optimization and custom database programming since 2002.
Origins
Roberta Dulay founded the company in 2002 as Yalia Technology Design, with the help and support of a team of technical and business advisors, some of whom became Yalia clients over the years.
The company was established to offer custom PHP programming services, website design and search engine optimization. Yalia Technology Design was later incorporated as an LLC in the state of Colorado and renamed Grassfrog Technologies LLC. Our initial servers were hosted at Earthnet in Boulder, Colorado, but we have since expanded to hosting services at multiple locations across the U.S.
Grassfrog partnered with InterNACHI in 2003 to offer affordable, attractive home inspection websites to InterNACHI members.
We have attended interNACHI conferences and have spoken on Web and Search Engine strategies at member meetings, and still maintain an SEO question/answer line called "Ask Betty" which has been published in the InterNACHI Quarterly.
We believe in building long-term customer relationships based on a "your success is our success" philosophy. Click here to read what our clients have to say about us, or click here to leave your feedback on our services.
Technologies
Grassfrog utilizes open source components and templates in our programming in order to keep costs down and offer our clients the best of what's available to them, at competitive pricing.
Our websites are search engine friendly and come with built-in content management tools which allow our clients to update their websites quickly and easily without needing any special HTML expertise. We also offer webmaster services for clients who prefer a full-service solution.
We are Hiring
Summer internship available. Learn marketing and design on-site in Pollock, SD while you enjoy flexible hours and a few hours of outdoor recreational time each day. Must have basic communication and computer skills (email, internet browsing, research), a willingness to learn and the ability to work in a relaxed, unsupervised environment. .
02 Why Choose Us?
Your Success is Our Success
There are many companies in the internet space offering design, search engine services, hosting and more. Over the past ten years we've seen it all. Huge internet companies that offer websites on the cheap, but leave you to your own devices when it comes to managing your website or search engine marketing. Boutique designers who charge alot for your website, but can't figure out how to make your contact forms work. Webmasters who know it all from a technical perspective but have zero customer service skills. New companies spring up every day, some of which won't be around in six months or a year when you forget your login or find your website has come down because they didn't renew their server hosting.
Experience
Our core competencies include PHP, MySQL, GNU component integration, Search Engine Optimization, content development, and user-friendly web design. Our current team is comprised of three PHP programmers, two writers, an SEO specialist and a server administrator. Technical skills include SQL database development, PHP, Javascript, CSS, and Linux server administration.
