For me, web design is fun and programming is hard. That's why I partner with a couple of excellent web developers in order to bring my clients' ideas to life. My team can create responsive HTML sites and we can do almost anything with the WordPress CMS.
This project is run by my family. A couple of years ago when my wife was going though a bunch of photos on her computer, she said "You'd better make us a website".
Even though this started as a side project, we have learned how to monetize the site by increasing its Alexa ranking and qualifying for affiliate links through various partners. The site also features helpful resources for parents choosing their kids' mountain bikes. On the kids' mtb database page, users can filter bikes in the database by selecting wheel sizes, manufacturers, and cost.
In addition to reviewing bikes, we produce content related to bike maintence, tips for riding with young mountain bikers, and we even interview professional riders. We have posts featuring Aaron Gwin, Anna Newkirk, Tyler McCaul, Hannah Finchamp, and Haley Batten. Sharing our travel experiences is also a big benefit of the website. We have been all over the Western U.S. and several parts of British Columbia to ride bikes. Families all over the country have asked us where to ride when they visit the places we have traveled with our kids. Our Instagram following is growing every month. We have over 12k followers and it's the perfect place keep our audience informed of new content. Our YouTube channel has several videos with thousands of views.
