You wouldn’t believe how often we hear these words – or ones very much like it! Most small business folks and organizations that are starting out rely on the talents and good will off web-savvy folks to help build them a website, for free (or nearly). This is awesome that their family or friends are willing to do that. Problem is, more than likely this person will be distrated by real life sometime soon, leave the organization or some other event that now means your website is out there, out of date, and possibly broken in some way. Most non-web folks will just let their site languish because they think it would cost a ton of money have a pro “fix it”, redesign it or do anything else to help. I’ve got great news. Consultation is free.  🙂    Yup, just visit our contact page or give us a call, and let’s […]

The times they are a-changin’!  Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.  Every client we have asks us at some point about SEO. Can we do it? Can it be done on an older site? Why does it change so drastically?  Is it a waste of money? The truth of the matter is that it does still matter, but how the game is played has changed pretty significantly.  To have good SEO, you need the following: A site with some history (gotta be around for a while) Many external links to your site from other sites that get a lot of traffic A lot of unique visits every day!

Beyond that, the integration of Social Media plays a huge part in the equation […]

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away – Microsoft released a software product called FrontPage. This allowed users to create, maintain and publish their own websites.  Unfortunately, the program was unwieldy and eventually Microsoft discontinued it. Believe it or not, there are STILL websites out there in the world that were built on this platform, and virtually nobody remembers how it works, or how the data structure in the background worked. Good luck trying to update that puppy now! [Deep breath] We can help.  Even if you just want some simple updates. Just reach out and let us know what’s on your mind!

We still find age-old websites built by friends and family of buisiness owners, originally doing their compatriot a favor by helping build their initial site for free. A lot of times these can actually look OK, but really need some updating. One of the most notable updates needed is that when that website is viewed on a mobile phone or tablet, the user has do pinch & zoom to see the content and navigate around. Effectively, the site is not Responsive (Mobile friendly) which not only makes people want to click away, but it makes Google sad too! We can do effective conversions on these sites so they can keep their look and feel (unless you want that updated too!) so that everything realigns and resizes to look good and work well on mobile.  The cost for this is a lot less than a whole new site!  Want to know […]
