“Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans”.

You may be familiar with that quote from John Lennon, and  many times it has proven to be true.

We had great plans for the launch of our new (and improved) website.  We had a schedule to follow and an intent to do a build up to the announcement.

Alas, you can never be sure things will go exactly according to plan when you are dealing with technology!

But, a week later than planned, we are pleased to announce that our new site is live, a bit obvious, since you are reading this post on the new site.  Perhaps a bit anti-climatic, but we’re happy with the result.  And we hope you will be too.

Our new style allows us to give you even more information that was on the original site, but with less pages to navigate.  We like the look of the new site: more white space, better text and graphic, more interactive, etc.  And we are hoping you will agree.

So take the site for a test drive.  And please be sure to let us know what you think.

Until next time…

Who Is Designing Your Website?

designing websites

I’m going to share a little secret with you about designing your website.

Those expensive, flashy, eye catching websites really don’t help you when it comes to your ROI.

As a matter of fact, there are tons of examples of companies that have poured many thousands of dollars into beautifully designed websites that have generated them no leads, no conversions, and therefore, no dollars!

When creating your website, start by determining it’s purpose.

Is your purpose to create or increase revenue or produce any sort of client or customer activity? If so, you want a marketing expert to work with you to develop your site, or to correct the issues on your current website that you bought from a webmaster or graphic arts company. Or, an even worse option that some companies have opted for are those online phone directory companies who purport to be able to build you a great website. A quick view of some of these sites will show you that they are ineffective, unattractive, and unlikely to bolster your business online. Read more
