The FörstRank Story

FörstRank was founded on the basis that everyone deserves a great web site design and great search engine optimization. Through our travels and experiences, we've noticed a common theme among customers of other web design / seo firms, and that theme was not a good one. We would hear horror stories about sub-par design, bloated code, false promises, unanswered emails...the list goes on. We heard these things because we would normally be the ones who would then clean up these messes. So we decided to start our own business that caters to customers who want a beautiful design, a proven SEO strategy in an attitude-free environment.

Araceli Parra
[Co-Founder | Search Engine Specialist | Project Manager]

Being a geekette most of her life, Araceli was destined for a career in tech. But it wasn't until the "Googlization" of the web that she found her true calling. What started out as a subject to learn to help her company out, has become an obsession. Her love and respect for search engine optimization is matched only by her skill and dedication.

When she's not strategizing or studying her craft, Araceli is drooling outside of any New York & Company store window; looking for a better term than "SEO"; watching the Simpsons (the older episodes); and Googling herself.


Doryan Algarra

Doryan Algarra
[Co-Founder | Lead Web Designer]

Doryan seemed to be born with a knack for all things artistic. Growing up in Northern New Jersey, he was fed a daily dose of sarcasm and comic books, where instead of dreaming about being the superhero, he dreamed of drawing the superheroes. As life tends to be unpredictable, he later found himself fixing computers in the military and his artistic outlet was put on hold. This was until he discovered the treasure that is Photoshop and digitial art. Doryan has since devoted his life to web design, web development, illustration and anything web design related.

When not designing and coding, Doryan loves to watch indie movies, browse any nearby Apple store, fiddle with his iphone, drink lots and lots of coffee and pretend to be "away" on his IM.
