  • Ok, I caved.

      *sigh* I've been shaking my head for the last 3 weeks at every store in town all dressed up for Christmas. I must be a descendant of Scrooge. Don't get me wrong, I like the part where family comes together, I love the food, the lights, and the excitem...
  • How do YOU google?

      Hey - Searching is easy! It's the FINDING that can take some doing. You pass the "sponsored results" without a glance. You ignore the Google ads to the right, as well as any other additional advertisements... Hiding somewhere in the middle, you'll fin...
  • Buyer Beware...

      I was going through dormant files to follow up on and came across this would-be client. A lady contacted me (referred from one of our clients) about a year ago to finish her website. She had paid for a design firm to do her website but things weren't ...
  • Live Support Feature

  • Google Webmaster Tools

      If your website's placement in popular (read, Google) search engines is important to you, I'd strongly encourage you to have a closer look at Google Webmaster Tools. Since the re-launch of our site I had to make sure that we had crossed all the t's a...
  • Redesign *uggh

      It's been on my to-do list for *errmmm 3 years, or so? GAWD's website needed updating/upgrading SO desperately. Typical case of the carpenter not having any kitchen cupboards at home. However, half way in or so, I remembered why I had put it off in th...
  • Mind your code, boys 'n girls

    Yep, there's always a logical explanation   New client, beautiful site, SEO strategies neatly in place... yet nada on the search engines. Definitely a head scratcher - until I used Google's handy little 'cached' feature. Turns out, I left out a teen...
