Who I Am
Aaron J. Weese
Digital Marketing and Communications Consultant
I built my first website in 1997 as a means to show off photos from my Navy deployments. In 2001 I taught myself HTML 2.0 and CSS “just for fun”. I then went onto obtain a degree in Web Programming and Network Support. Upon completion of the college program, I started a Bail Bond agency and put both my self taught and formal education to work and built the business’ web presence and digital marketing campaigns for the next decade. In addition, I was always available to business colleagues for consultation and support of their digital marketing campaigns. In 2013, I decided it was time for a career change. With that, I began applying and evolving my skill set helping businesses and organizations develop a vibrant and profitable web presence.
In 2016, I returned to school to further my education and ability to assist small businesses. I graduated with highest honors from Southern New Hampshire University. Recently, I began pursuing my M.S. in Integrated Marketing Communications at West Virginia University.
My philosophy on building a solid digital footprint are simple; “Just speak to your clients, let them know that you are human and are there to help them. There is no magic pill or formula….just convey your message and relate to your audience.”
When not building a marketing campaign or writing content with iTunes on full blast, I enjoy kayaking, exploring shipwrecks and underwater caves, as well as home brewing beer.

I have felt the late nights, the knot in the stomach, the uncertainty of whether or not I’m going to be able to keep the lights on. I have fallen on my face more times than I can count in business, but the one thing that keeps me successful is the fact that I kept and will keep getting up. I have a passion and a love for helping small businesses succeed in the face of uncertainty.

Who I Work With
Testimonials
Aaron was a tremendous help to me when I needed advice on creating content and growing a brand as a Community Relations Director and offered valuable web support with a local project I was working on. When the time came to form my own business, I knew immediately that I wanted Aaron to build our website. Not only did he do a beautiful job helping us create our image, he provided the guidance we needed to ensure our message and services were clearly defined and aimed at our target customer.
Cheyenne BurnhamAaron has been amazing to work with for all my web design and content as well as Search Engine Optimization (SEO) needs. Unlike quite a few other developers I have spoken with for my business, Aaron is very prompt to make updates on the fly, respond with any questions or concerns I have (usually within minutes), has a no-nonsense, very down to earth personality and I am quite happy to refer all of my business clients to him that have any web site needs.
Mike KerrWorking with Aaron has been painless. He makes an effort to get to know you and your goals, then works some magic to give you a great product.
Bryan StaggersWell I got my web page up and running today thanks to Aaron Weese. It is still in some phase of development but I am very pleased. Aaron was able to instruct me on how to set this page up and managed it (well that remains to be seen) but I just cannot say enough great things about Aaron. He is a great teacher and knows his stuff. If you ever get the chance to take his class..do it. This class was offered by the Dare County Arts Council and I must say I thought it was a value. If you do not have time to create the page yourself or if it is just not your thing, I believe Aaron can help.
George H. WoodAaron is one of the most intelligent people I have ever met. In the 12 years that I have known Aaron, he has constantly conceived of new ways to innovate and to make a difference through his work. Aaron is a man of his word who has taught me much about the importance of hard-work, ethics, and pursuing one’s passion. If you’re looking for someone who can always bring valuable, refreshing ideas to the table, Aaron won’t disappoint.
Page G. WoodAfter spending hours upon hours of searching and researching website design, pricing, and social media startup for my business, I can honestly say that there is no competition to the service and support that Aaron Weese provides. He is always a phone call or email away for any questions or concerns. He not only stays on top of the website itself but takes the business that he is providing services for to heart as well. He is continually looking for ways to help improve the marketing aspect to ensure that my business is getting the exposure that is needed to become and remain successful. I highly recommend any and all services that he has to offer for anyone that is looking to grow their business into financial stability for themselves
