Website Eases Plumbing & Drain Cleaning Business’s Transition

T.C.R. Rooter and Plumbing LLC’s founder Terry Ault is well thought of in Northern Arizona. He began his commercial and residential plumbing and drain cleaning business in Flagstaff in 1993.


Big real estate and development companies like AZNORTH depended on his friendly, professional and high quality plumbing and drain cleaning services, as well as did countless residential plumbing customers.


When he decided to move east and expand T.C.R. Rooter and Plumbing LLC into the Cary, Raleigh and Triangle areas of North Carolina, his steadfast residential and commercial plumbing customers were sad to see him go.


Before he made the transition, he hired Josh Whitman and his staff at TrailsWeb LLC to develop a custom small business website so his new clientele in Raleigh and surrounding areas could find out about his exceptional plumbing and drain cleaning services quickly.


Well, it worked. Within weeks of plumbing in Cary, Raleigh, the Triangle and surrounding areas, T.C.R. Rooter & Plumbing had become the Raleigh and surrounding areas local plumber of choice.


The combination of excellent search engine visibility, a superb, easy to navigate small business website and T.C.R. Rooter and Plumbing’s quality service, and competitive prices, commercial and residential customers not only found his plumbing company on the web, but recommended him to friends and neighbors with confidence.

Flagstaff Uniform & Sports Exchange, LLC

Trailsweb is proud to support a new business in town!!


Flagstaff Uniform & Sports Exchange

Flagstaff Uniform & Sports Exchange (F.U.S.E.) is our hometown clearinghouse for gently used Sports Gear and School Uniforms.

F.U.S.E. is the brain child of our content author Kathryn Peterson. She was volunteering at her daughter's middle school recently. Another volunteer and mother of four was bemoaning the fact that there was no used sporting goods outlets in town. She immediately realized that this is a business idea she could commit to.


Not only does F.U.S.E. support the important trend to recycle and re-use, F.U.S.E. helps families save money and keeps revenue in the community that would otherwise leave the community to go to big box store corporate headquarters. "I just love everything about this business!" Ms. Peterson said.

Currently Kathryn and her business partner Kristin Brown are holding a Drop-Off drive to build inventory. It works like this:

  1. Clean your closets and garages of used sporting goods that are outgrown or lightly used and still usable.

  2. Bring them to Uptown Billiards at 114 N. Leroux St. in the heart of downtown Flagstaff. (If you turn on your blinkers, you can park in the alley adjacent to Uptown long enough to unload your stuff.) The drop-off center is in the back by the restrooms. Leave your stuff and fill out a form listing what you are leaving for F.U.S.E. We will create a trade voucher based upon the items you dropped off.

  3. Come to our sales event in the parking lot of the Flagstaff Athletic Club West at 1200 W. Rt. 66 on June 6th and twice a month thereafter. Your trade voucher will be there waiting for you!

  4. If you can't make the event, just call me Kathryn Peterson at (928) 853-2414. I will have our entire inventory on the data base by then acan pick up your used items and bring you the items you need anytime between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. as well as update your trade voucher account instantly!


Spend your trade vouchers like cash on this year's sporting goods, school uniforms and outdoor recreational gear needs!!

We accept all kinds of sporting goods, water toys, and uniforms, but will be focusing our inventory on children's team sports like soccer and baseball.

A very special thanks to Josh Whitman and TrailsWeb for the wonderful website and to all the Flagstaff families that have been so enthusiastic and supportive.

Holistic Healing

Holistic Healing


Unlike traditional western allopathic medicine which focuses exclusively on the physical aspects of a person, Holistic healing modalities address the wholeness of the individual, the balances and imbalances of one's physical, spiritual and emotional being.


Holistic healing is not itself a method of treatment, but is a philosophical approach. Holistic healing is more than finding remedies and medicines for various symptoms and syndromes that are identified in one's physical body. It incorporates emotional and spiritual well being as equally, if not more, important.


Holistic healing approaches assess and focus on causes that underlie our imbalances. Those root causes are more likely to be found in the emotional and spiritual realms than in the physical. The goal is wellness that encompasses the entirety of what it means to be human, rather than just eliminating a physical pain or disease.


Holistic healing treatment modalities foster the self-regenerative and self-reparatory processes of natural healing. Marie Desroches knows there is a trustworthy intelligence within your body working on your behalf to restore and maintain balance and health, emotionally and spiritually, as well as physically.


Her healing modalities include Reiki, Integrated Energy Therapy, and Jin Shin Jyutsu. These combined with her expert Archetype and Numerology readings work in concert to facilitate her clients' physical, emotional and spiritual healing as well as connect clients with their authenticity, inner wisdom, guidance and clarity.

Quiet Mountains Offers Natural, Holistic and Energy Healing

Authoring Marie Desroches website for her business "Quiet Mountains...an invitation to wholeness" QuietMountains.com was a delight for Trailsweb, and especially for content author Kathryn Peterson.

Kathryn is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and has retired from many years as a psychotherapist. All modalities of natural healing, holistic healing, and energy healing interest her. She has seen alternative healing modalities grow and earn tremendous respect among both the general population and the allopathic healing community.

When Marie Desroches asked TrailsWeb to create a beautiful website for her energy healing practice, we were thrilled.

Marie Desroches is a Certified Archetypal Consultant and a Numerology Consultant with 30 years experience. She is also a Certified Reiki Master, a Master-Instructor for Integrative Energy Therapy and a Certified Jin Shin Syutsu Practitioner.

Do not let her impressive list of credentials confuse you. Her skills, energy and modalities feel very approachable and calming. The result for you, her client, is a deeper experience of your authentic self, of your own internal wisdom and truths. These modalities work in concert to facilitate your physical, emotional and spiritual healing, evolution and well-being.

Whether you call it natural healing, holistic healing, or energy healing, the result is a sense of personal empowerment and a greater connection to your own inner healing mechanisms and inborn wisdom.

Gene's Western Wear - fine cowboy boots and western wear

After four weeks in the making, the new site for Gene's Western Wear is online! Gene's Western Wear is Flagstaff's most genuine dealer in cowboy boots, work wear and a whole lot more.

Check out their new site, http://www.geneswesternwear.com/ to see what they've got going on. TrailsWeb took all the pictures you see on the site of the store. A few of the photos were provided by the manufacturers of some of the jeans they sell. We wrote all the text for the site, and did a ton of SEO work to make sure it'll get plenty of traffic.

We designed it all from scratch, and put some real effort into how the text and images align with each other and the framing of the pages.

After a bit of back-and-forth with the company that made Gene's previous, anemic website, we were able to get their old domain and have it point to the new site. We registered geneswesternwear.com for our client, but their old domain, geneswesternwear.net is listed in a bunch of different places and it was important to salvage it.

TrailsWeb will, as always, be in touch with Gene's from time to time to make sure the site is doing its job and find out what needs to be updated from time to time.

Gary Anderson was interested in setting up an online store, and I recommended we put together the site first, get some traffic flowing through that, and then build a store on top of the already popular website. That way we have a bunch of traffic already headed to the store before we spend the development money to build a store. The opposite would've been to build a store then try to get the traffic to it, having already paid out the cash for development. Unless there's a unique market condition where you'd want to preempt the competition, it's usually a good idea to start at the beginning and develop your internet presence on an as-needed basis.
