A web site that fits WingNut Alpacas to a “T”

"When I first got into alpacas, I was acutely aware of the importance of a web site. I am fairly computer literate but wanted a company that could fill in the gaps. SEOAlpaca was recommended to me by the folks at NW Alpacas. I love their web site and wanted something along the same lines. I knew what I wanted - nothing fluffy or sugary. I let the SEOAlpaca developers have a free rein, and they came up with a web site that fits me to a "T". I opted for the alpaca catalog system and I update the database and pages myself - I love it! I can add whatever information strikes my fancy, and if I run into a problem, someone is always there to help me through."

The small but elite Washington State alpaca farm known as WingNut Farm started out a couple years back with only a couple modest dams, a commitment to breeding excellence, and the understanding that the Internet would be the key to marketing success.

Owner Heidi Christensen had always been an animal lover. Her pursuit of breeding perfection began at the age of 13 when she received a purebred dog as a birthday present, eventually extending to horses, parrots and cats. In 2004, Heidi learned about the burgeoning alpaca industry and alpaca fever struck.

Her passion for building superior genetics drives the farm’s breeding activity.  WingNut Alpaca’s web site had to reflect this focus on quality. Heidi knew she wanted a web site that was easy to use with a clean design. And she knew how important it is to gain visibility for her alpacas online, so she chose the SEO Alpaca catalog manager system – it helps her alpacas show up in online searches and she can update her alpaca information easily. If Heidi ever has questions, she knows she can just call or email SEO Alpaca and get help right away.

Now in 2009, WingNut Farm has grown its herd of alpacas using pre-potent males, established breeding techniques, and scientific genetic selection methods. Her alpaca business is supported by a powerful web site that serves as an excellent resource for newcomers and experienced breeders alike.

Heidi’s alpacas feature prominently in the National Alpaca Directory, her alpacas show up online for specific terms like “pachacuti son alpaca”, and her site can be found on the first page of Google results for “washington state alpaca farm”, “wa elite alpacas”, and “alpaca breeder Washington”!
