Andrew
has extensive knowledge about internet marketing, SEO and building web
sites/blogs. His course explained everything in an easy to understand
way and I now have a web site that is generating me new clients and
producing income from internet product sales.
Andrew was kind enough to offer up his own time as part of an initiative to make the world a better place, and I was one of the beneficiaries of that effort. He spent an hour with me working on improving my bounce rate; he suggested several helpful strategies. Most importantly, he helped me with some key processes to help speed up my site, which had bogged down considerably with overuse of graphics. Andrew helped me get set up with Rackspace, which helped so much. From a load time of almost 30 seconds, the site sped up to about a 6 second load. Thanks so much, Andrew!
Andrew is highly knowledgeable about blogs and very customer service focused. I knew nothing about blogs and Andrew was very kind, patient, pleasant to work with, receptive and responsive. Work was delivered in timely manner and if I need anything done for blog again I would use Andrew. If you are looking for quality work, excellent customer service and someone that really gets YOU and your needs, I recommend Andrew!.
Thank you Andrew for your patience in getting my website and on-line courses on-line and selling. You were fantastic in learning the delivery platform software that I had chosen and you were across the complexities quickly. Your detailed approach in setting guidelines and deliverables bought my focus back to where it should be and got the job done. Thank you for all your efforts it was a pleasure.
I was introduced to Andrew by a dear friend Corinne Edwards and Andrew as transformed by blog in ways that have reaped results. My membership has gone up and my blog always looks clean and easy to read. Whenever I send Andrew a request to check out - it's ALWAYS prompt and easy to understand. In my humble opinion he is the BEST when it comes to knowledge of the blogging world.
Without Andrew, I wouldn't even have a blog -- I would still just be sitting here, staring at my computer, feeling confused and helpless. With Andrew, I no longer fear confusion and it's impossible to feel helpless. He exerts any and all necessary efforts to resolve any problem or perplexity -- quickly, kindly, intelligently, up to and including IM exchanges in real time via skype. I would urge anyone at any level of expertise (or not) to make the most of his extraordinary talent.
I happened to stumble upon Andrew's website (WeBuildYourBlog.com) while searching for blogging services that would help me start my very own blog. I was a total newbie when it came to the blogging world. Fast forward 3 months and not only do I have my own awesome blog, but friends and family are actually asking me how to start their own blog and I am able to set their blogs up for them! In only 3 months under Andrew's guidance I went from total newbie to being sought after. Thanks Andrew!
I wanted a stylish website that presented my original abstract art in a visually attractive way. Andrew came highly recommended to me as a "no nonsense" practitioner. He does exactly what he says he will do: I give him the parameters to work within and he provides a quick and precise service. You will receive nothing but the best from Andrew!
The best blog builder, and the best blog maintenance, I've ever met is Andrew Rondeau. This fellow is an authentic professional in every sense of the word. He's lightning fast, knowledgeable, competent, a skilled listener. He goes the extra mile. He's able to share his passion for his work and products without being pushy. He as other great internet skills, too, but his most impressive attribute is mastery of website building.
I have been online since 1996 and in that time I have been involved in the development of almost 400 web sites for my clients. I have worked with a wide variety of vendors and I have to tell you that Andrew @ We Build Your Blog has far exceeded my expectations. In addition to his vast knowledge and expertise, he is a genuinely great guy, who always goes the extra mile. I highly recommend him, in fact I only recommend him now for web development.
The
end result is a fantastic site that is attracting a lot more attention
and visitors than my old one.
I
approached Andrew in February 2010, because I needed to enhance the way I communicated
my business.
I've spent insane amounts of money in the past with former webmasters until I discovered Andrew Rondeau.
Andrew
is highly knowledgeable about blogs, and you can get your blog up and running
successfully and fast. Andrew has helped me immeasurably with
my blog and he is patient and good natured and a wonderful teacher.
Andrew is an asset to our ongoing website and social media needs. He responds quickly, accurately, and cost effectively. Andrew plays a consultative role in many aspects to our online needs.
Andrew is the real deal and he knows his stuff! His customer service is superb and he gets your work done FAST! You won't need to wait around for endless weeks to see results. Most importantly he works on the site as if it's his own, thus you are assured that you will get the best quality service. I now give Andrew all of my new and old sites to work on. Trust me; you cannot go wrong with this gentleman!
I
was impressed with the excellent service.
Having worked with Andrew on and off over the last year, I have found him to be very patient, helpful and easy to work with. He is also very knowledgeable, supportive and a true expert.
I
am very happy to provide a testimonial for Andrew Rondeau. All the parts of
the process of working with Andrew were a pleasure. He clarified what I was
wanting and he delivered it without fuss. He was courteous and prompt in all
his dealings with me. I have no hesitation in recommending Andrew to anyone
who wants work done on their blog.
Hi, Andrew Rondeau here and this blog, my blog, will not lie to you. I will give it to you straight.This blog is about blogging, the Internet and sharing my experiences and advice on
Twitter: happymakernowco
Thank you Andrew, I just love the way you explain things. You make blogging seem so easy. The blog that I have is doing so much better with your advice and help.
Reading your material makes me want to start another blogg just for the fun of it.
Thanks again

Thanks for kind words Debbie!
What’s stopping you starting another blog?
Andrew
I tried to sign up for the book the other day but my pc was playing up and it didn’t work. Today it did! Karma at work I think;D I was obviously meant to enter THIS contest.
I’ve put the address of the new version of my site but I don’t think it’s live yet (I’m new to self-hosting and WordPress). Will get hubby to look at it later and then hopefully it’ll be up and running. However the old version is still up at http://healthfyfrugalhome.blogspot.com
Great contest.

I use Thesis and I think that it is a wonderful prize for the lucky winner. Hosting is a good idea too, but whoever wins the hosting should go and buy Thesis.
Twitter: andrewrondeau
Richard,
Nice to see you here. So if you win first prize, what would you do with the Thesis theme?
Andrew
Am so wanting a free copy of Thesis. Would love to test out the “much touted” SEO benefits.
Is this site powered by Thesis? (just curious) By the way, it’s lovely.
Twitter: andrewrondeau
Missy,
Thanks for dropping by. This site is based upon the FLEXX theme and thanks for saying it’s lovely!
Andrew
Hey, Andrew:
What plugin are you using that highlights a keyword in the comment area?
Let me know. Cheers!
Twitter: andrewrondeau
Missy
Unfortunately it is not a free plugin. You can use it for affiliate links and also links to other posts – so it increases your internal link love. It’s easy to set-up and you can limit the number of links within each post. Here’s a video of me reviewing the plugin: http://www.webuildyourblog.com/873/monetize-blog-affiliate-marketing-wordpress-plugin/
Andrew
Thanxs for the reply!
Very lovely contest. Many people will benefit from the advice and mentorship of Andrew. Even if you don’t win the prizes. You have already won with the magnificent information that is in the PDF. Don’t just download it to win. Read it. Use it. Love it!

Hi Andrew,
Alright, I’m in your contest. Had to sign up for Digg again – don’t know why I have so much trouble getting into that site. Will blog about the contest soon. Just put together that you are the Andrew that Debbie recommended to help with my technology issues. I need help moving my comments from the side to underneath the blog post. My commluv seems to have disappeared(?) even though the plug-in says activated. Maybe I should just use a different theme which, of course, brings me to your contest! haha!
Twitter: andrewrondeau

Yes I am that Andrew. The same Andrew who’s waiting for you to add Skype and for us to talk! Remember? haha!
I can help.
