Printing and Web Services, P.A.W.S., was created in 2006 by Michael Annable. P.A.W.S is one of the best sources and resources for your small business printing and online needs. Formerly from Massachusetts, Michael began building web sites as a hobby in 1995. At that time, he worked part-time as a limousine driver and realized the increasing need for a more personal client to customer contact. He then began to build web sites specifically designed for limousine companies. He tailored each web site for the client and included a very successful online booking system, as well as photo-rich content pages including photos of the actual limosines available for rent. Not long after building his first limousine web site, Michael found his skills were in high demand across the United States. At this point, Michael took on a full time position as a printer in a mid-sized print shop. He worked on an 8-color Mitsubishi press with UV and Aqueous Coating capabilities. Learning the fundamentals of printing was fascinating to him, and he strived to learn more about the printing industry. He then obtained printing software, including Adobe Photoshop, and leaned how to create “press ready” files. To complete the relationship he already established with the limousine companies, he then provided them with the opportunity to have photo business cards (complete with their own logo) letterhead and all their printing needs from one source.

After the tragedy of the September 11 attacks, the printing industry throughout the United States plummeted, and Michael, as so many others, found himself looking for a new position. It was at this point Michael found himself in the seafood industry. Working for Southeast Shellfish, Inc. he was approached by the owner about the possibilities of creating a web site and shipping seafood overnight. After three months of very detailed and careful planning, the site was up and running. During this period, he developed his skills on every aspect of e-commerce, including negotiations with the three largest shipping companies to secure the lowest possible shipping discounts. To get the most out of their web site, Michael began advertising on Google, Yahoo, MSN & Ebay. After quickly obtaining a steady customer base and an almost "cult-like" following, Southeast was able to stop paying for advertising altogether and relied completely upon the specific keyword optimization Michael created. Even after Michael's relocation to Florida, the site still remains in the top three searches.

Michael's next and last stop as an employee, was with the World Famous Boston Lobster Feast in Orlando, Florida. Already having three successful seafood buffet restaurants and being the largest wholesale seafood company in Central Florida, they wanted to expand their horizons and ship live lobster throughout the United States. Michael gladly headed the project and, in only three months time, they too found themselves very successful with Google searches at absolutely no cost.

It is at this point Michael decided to offer his vast knowledge of both printing and web site production to all business. With his experience, coupled with his constant need for 100% customer satisfaction, Michael can bring your dreams to a reality.
