Vertical Transportation Consultants & Inspectors
I have a feeling the question on your mind right now is... "What will this cost me?"
OK here it is...
the fee for a "Web Site" listing is $200.00 (US dollars) per year
the fee for a "Contact" listing is $100.00 (US dollars) per year
Busy? Cut to the chase... if not please enjoy my spiel!
If you have attempted to use the internet to locate a vertical transportation consultant or inspector you know that the search engines will return literally thousands of web sites which have nothing to do with vertical transportation. The industry associations that should be providing this information have dropped the ball entirely. I won't mention any names but most of the time these sites require the viewer to be a member of the organization or register to qualify for a look at their list of consultants/inspectors. If you are a consultant/inspector and happen to be a member of the organization or a subscriber to their magazine you might be offered a free listing of a link to your web site or possibly a minimum amount of contact information space. Quite often any list provided will include numerous "dead" links because no one is maintaining the list and/or the site. While compiling my list of consultants and inspectors I couldn't help but notice that most of my "surfing" lead to dead ends. At times I thought I might be on the verge of viewing a large list of potential candidates for my site and discovered nothing but information I could not use. I practically wore out my mouse pointing and clicking!
We have all waited long enough for a web site devoted entirely to the search for vertical transportation consultants and inspectors. I have decided to host the largest, most accurate, and easy to use web site of all the consultant/inspector listing sites on the internet. As of September 1st, 2010 I have accumulated 312 web sites and contacts advertising vertical transportation consulting and inspection services. I decided to list these sites and contacts as a "service" to my fellow vertical transportation enthusiasts. Recently I was asked by the owner of one of these sites to allow advertising on my web site. I have refrained from any commercialization of my original web site (elevatorbob.com) but I think Vertical Transportation Consultants & Inspectors is a good idea for both you and me. I have the time and patience to maintain a neat, clean and up-to-date web site. Besides, I enjoy this type of work - it is a way to "keep the mind sharp" and there is absolutely no heavy lifting involved!
I am offering listings in the following 3 formats:

Bob Desnoyers Elevator & Escalator Inspections, Inc.
QEI certified vertical transportation inspections in California
The "Free" format is limited to two lines of information. The first line will be the company's name and it will be a hyperlink to your web site. The second line will basically state whether you are a consultant, inspector, and/or expert witness and where your main office is located. It is absolutely free and it will be maintained to provide the most up-to-date information possible.

The "Contact" format is designed primarily for the individual or organization that does not have a web site. The fee for this type of listing is $100.00 (US dollars) per year.

The "Web Site" format is designed for the individual or organization that does have a web site. The fee for this type of listing is $200.00 (US dollars) per year. The size of this listing is approximately a "full monitor screen."
Some of the features of this format are:
1 - There are a minimum of 3 hyperlinks per listing:
the first time your name or company is mentioned (in the white highlight box)
under every image or logo that is displayed (maneuver your mouse pointer over my listing for a preview)
at the end of your listing - just in case a potential customer is not computer savvy...I spell it out for them - " Web Site: "
2 - Clicking your e-mail address will open the customer's e-mail program with both addresses (yours and theirs) inserted into the correct fields. We can customize the subject line as needed.
3 - I will design your listing by utilizing key portions of your web site content and images - or you can send me something to work with. I designed many of the current listings. Remember, I'm not a graphic artist so - you may have some better ideas - good... send them to me. I am trying to present a "snapshot" of your web site. Designing your listing is included in the fee as long as it does not become too complicated. Remember, our goal here is to steer them over to your web site where the "real magic" begins!
4 - As you can see...the "Web Site" listing gives you command of the entire screen. There is nothing to distract your potential customer from your information. You have their undivided attention.
5 - Your site's logo becomes a part of the "Featured Listing Display" - a random rotation of images displayed just beneath the logo for each geographical area. If you visit one of the featured listings displayed below and return to this site, the image and corresponding hyperlink will change. (Remember, a random selection is made from a list of web sites - if the list is short, New Zealand has only 4 listings, the same site may reappear.) Clicking your browser's refresh/reload button will produce the same results. You might also note that clicking the geographical icon will take you to a map of that location.

| A web site that takes you directly to the site you think you are going to - not another "consultant/inspector" search site | |
| There are two identical copies of this web site on the internet - here and here. I am getting pretty good search engine placement at the present time - try...search, search, search, search, search, and search | |
| My web site host is usually very reliable...but I can't predict the future | |
| Your potential customers will just cruise in and cruise out at their leisure - no sign in - no hassles | |
