Meet Dooder, the Safety Orange mascot.

Dooder is an African spurred tortoise, also called a sulcata tortoise, a species of tortoise, which inhabits the southern edge of the Sahara desert, in northern Africa.

He was rescued over a year ago from a home where he was being fed the wrong diet. 

Dooder lives in a big glass enclosure at night and he spends his days in a portable dog pen in the front yard where he has lots of fresh, green grass to eat. We also feed him mulberry leaves, roses and other tasty tortoise snacks. At some point, Dooder will get too heavy to carry in and out of the house every day, and he will have to a permanent home outside.

No, we are not going to paint any part of him "safety orange", but we might just make him a little top hat with a safety orange hat band!

If you want more business:
1. You have to attract your customers attention,
2. Then you can deliver your marketing message,
3. Then you can sell your product or service.

Where attention goes money follows.  Once you’ve got people’s attention you have the opportunity to make money.

· Too many websites are all white with lots of text and no pictures.
· Pictures, color, a selection of fonts and a variety of font sizes attracts attention.
· Pages of solid text turn people away.

Websites need to wake up the senses, open up the positive emotions.  Do something “different” to attract attention.  We are not saying to light yourself on fire and run naked down the street.

· You could buy your way to the top of a Google search, but if your website does not attract attention people won’t read your message.
· Google even says don’t try so hard to get the search engine’s attention that you forget to attract your customer’s once they land on your website.
· You need to balance both.

We want to make websites for small businesses and individuals that attract their customer’s attention.  Please refer friends, family and other people you know to Safety Orange Websites.  We make websites that work!

Note:  We recently changed the name of our company.  We were formerly known as Kanga Web Design.  We are now doing business as Safety Orange Websites.  Our new name is so awesome!
