Back in the day before I was pimping SEO and online advertising, I was a web designer. I created a site for my friend Adam who is an Arizona Pool Builder (Owner of Acupulco Pools). At the time his company was a fraction of the size it is now; I think they are the biggest Fiberglass Pool Builder in Arizona now. The site has been a successful lead gen and catalog type tool for them. I gave him the hook up, basically working for peanuts to get a pretty decent site up.
Fast forward a few years, and I am in the market for a pool. My backyard is bare (new house, dirt backyard, you know the drill). He convinced me to let Acapulco Pools do my backyard and pool (I was thinking pebbletech at the time). I can’t tell you how much it cost me because I got the “We feel like we owe you for the business that your site generated” hook up… but I can say this: I AM ECSTATIC about how good these guys are.
These pools are 10x faster to install, they look just as good in a lanscape with cool decking, and from what I understand these pools are way easier to maintain. The teams they send out are fast and courteous and the backyard already is starting to look awesome. I’ll post pics once the yard is done so you can see what I am talking about.
Moral of the story, building websites for other people sometimes comes back and pays you back in ways you wouldn’t expect. I am stoked about my new pool and landscaping so far. My backyard is gonna be ROCKIN’ this summer!

Not just any pictures, either. Pictures of actually *building* a pool, ok? Pictures of pools equals pools in arizona or pictures of pools in Arizona. Pictures of resin, gunite, concrete slabs, excavation, even fire ants and scorpions.. now that’s pool building in Arizona! Remember who you’re up against http://phoenix.about.com/od/pools/a/poolmistakes.htm, phoenix.about.com/od/pools/a/poolshapes.htm, phoenix.about.com/od/pools/a/poolmaint.htm,phoenix.about.com/od/pools/a/poolshapes_p.htm,phoenix.about.com/od/pools/index_r.htm, etc.
and never forget, mimicry is a fine form of flattery (!)
Now who is Chris-Hooley and why are we helping him?
