Owner/Operator
Mike Langley Web Design LLC.
Mike Langley Web Design was started by myself in September of 2009. The company has a loyal client base from around the country and continues to strive through five years in a struggling economy. I am responsible for all of the day to day operations, I do not outsource. The company offers web design, web development, web consulting, web hosting, graphic design, SEO, website maintenance, custom WordPress solutions, and more. One secret to the company's success has been to offer contracting services to other local web design companies, who may have a stronger sales foot hold but lack the technical skills or man power to deliver the desired results to the end client. A few times I've quoted or discussed a job with an client and though I didn't get the contract, I did wind up building the site for the company who did. My clients include - Pelletier's Sports Shop, Peterborough Chamber of Commerce, The Black Swan, The Town of Jaffrey, Gaia's Blessing, Bonin Architects, Jaffrey VFW, Pure Flow Inc, Blair Wealth Management, Granite State Cabinetry, Toute le Monde Interiors, New England Everyday Goods, Langley Machinery, Dust to Shine Cleaning, Lipsky Attorneys at Law, Girard Advertising, StrataBlue, Phil-Mack Media, Sven Grafik, CharlesWorks, Fletcher Media, MKT Consulting, Center Pond Communications, and more. As a small business of one person, I am on a daily basis dealing with the following tasks accounting, marketing, sales, customer relations, customer support, graphics, writing/editing code in HTML, CSS, PHP, jQuery, & javascript, building complete Wordpress sites, implementing payments, ecommerce, newsletters, social media integration, SEO consulting & analysis, and web server management.
Operations Manager (ending)
W.G. Ellerkamp Inc.
W.G Ellerkamp Inc. is a retail packaging distributor located in Peterborough, NH. My employment with them started in 1999, working part-time for something like $7/hr. I was running flexographic printing and hot stamp presses, these presses would print the retail branding on the aftermarket packaging. I learned a great deal about machinery, engineering and the vast subtleties of the various printing processes that I was using. After a brief period, I was promoted to the shipping department and eventually became the warehouse manager in charge of most of the company's inventory. About five years into my employment, I was moved into the front office and put in charge of all of the artwork for the printing process, in addition to my former duties. At this time I also took control of the company website & redesigned/rebuilt it. I oversaw many company transitions from new inventory & accounting software, to a move to a new facility, to purchases of new machinery and computer equipment. I attended trade shows in the paper and packing industry across the country. My official ending position was Operations Manager. I gave notice in July of 2009 to pursue my own venture and slowly reduced my hours over the next 3 months, so my departure wouldn't be a hardship for the company. I continued some various graphic and web work for the Ellerkamp Co. for some time after my departure with my company Mike Langley Web Design.
