Utah Sites is Excited to Join DATC’s Employer Advisory Committee

What a great opportunity I’ve been presented with.  In December we received an email from Omar Bravo, Davis Applied Technology College’s (“DATC”) Digital Media Design Instructor.  The DATC was “looking for highly qualified industry professionals who are interested in improving Web Design & Development (Digital Marketing) Education.”  Count Utah Sites in.

Having grown up in Kaysville I have a great passion for supporting Davis County.  Since starting Utah Sites and it preceding DBA’s back in 2007 I have always made a strong effort towards committing to helping out the local community where me or my team can.  When presented with the opportunity to meet with Omar from the DATC I couldn’t say “yes” fast enough.

After a brief breakfast in Kaysville at Granny Annie’s Family Restaurant with Omar, I was in.  It isn’t too often that I am impressed by someone’s passion.  I was pleasantly “wow’d” with Omar.  He truly enjoys his profession and is in it to help others learn.  No question.  Quite honestly, he probably knows more about many things than I do even as “an industry professional.”

Fast forward to yesterday and we had our first Employer Advisory Committee event.  At the Digital Marketing table I had the pleasure of meeting other great, local web design and advertising agencies, like Forth Gear.  The DATC provided a delicious lunch from Cafe Rio.

Davis Applied Technology Center Employee Advisory Committee

After an overall introduction about the goals of the committee we had the opportunity to read the curriculum of a course of our choice and to provide feedback.  Much of the responsibilities of the Employer Advisory Committee is to help provide feedback from a real life industry perspective.

  • Is the curriculum relevant?
  • Is the curriculum up to date?
  • Are there areas of education to expand on?

I chose to review the Search Engine Optimization (“SEO”) course.  Having been involved in the SEO world for so long it was a bit of a unique experience for me to see SEO processes documented in such an extensive format.  I was quite surprised how accurate the suggested practices were, too.  After about an hour of being brought up to speed on curriculum options and reviewing the basics of the Search Engine Optimization course we called it a day.

What a great experience.  I’m excited to see students in our local community being educated with such great materials.  Even moreso, I’m excited to know that someone so passionate as Omar is the one supporting them on their journey.  Thank you DATC.

Layton Web Design Company Filling Void in Local Fulfillment

Utah Sites, an experienced web design company in Utah, announced its opening of a local design office in Layton earlier in 2013. As a design agency that focuses on site development for small to medium business, the growth to date has been nothing short of substantial.

President of Utah Sites, Damon Burton, comments, “The growth and love from the local community that we’ve experienced is amazing. We’ve been designing sites for a long time. While we experienced growth across the nation through our parent company, our team realized that there was a void locally.” He continues, “We noticed that there was not a lot of local representation from web design companies in Utah, particularly in Davis County, to help all the growing businesses. Utah has a lot of good web design firms, but most you don’t know where they are physically located if you wanted to stop in and ask some designers a few questions.” At that point, UtahSites.com was born.

While the entity “Utah Sites” may be new on paper the group is not new when it comes to web design. The team of local web designers in Utah Sites team consists of experience dating back as far as 1999. The concept of providing physically available web designers in Layton has proven successful. Such a simple idea of opening an office with signage to attract attention from passing traffic is now one of Utah Sites biggest sources of growth. Ironically, in the digital age it seems that the simplest forms of marketing are often the most effective for a digital based comany.

Utah Sites tends to provide most of their fulfillment in the space of small to medium businesses. From online fashion retailers like Flirty Aprons to nationally recognized children’s cough syrup brand Zarbees, the guys behind this design and online marketing firm are known for contributing to the internet success of some well known Utah businesses. With a vast knowledge of various website software, this team can help with anything from content marketing and building an online brand to e-commerce site design and printed marketing materials.

Such an established design and SEO company in Utah is a welcomed source of experience to businesses in Davis County. As local businesses welcome the personalized business attention, Utah Sites continues to say “thanks” and appreciate the love from the community.
