Best Practices

The three most important questions

The three most important questions to ask yourself when hiring website designers and developers: Most of the times when we are asked about building a website, the first three questions we receive are: 1. When can it be done? 2. Do I need to do anything? 3. How much will it cost? These questions pop out within the first five minutes, and are unfortunately anything but easy to determine.

Your Domain Name and You

Ok, so your domain name is important; it’s quite important actually.  A domain name can tell a potential client a lot about your business, and that’s before they even head to your website.  A domain name will be where someone finds your website, where all of your emails come from, and will appear on every piece of marketing you do from when you get a domain up until… well… ever.

Why you need a website even if you think you don’t

Alright, let’s put aside for a second that a multimedia company is posting a blog entry about why you need a website.  No matter who says it, the statement is true despite how hard we try and avoid it.  Hopefully knowing this will help make the next set of decisions easier, as this is the true purpose of our blog: to make things easier.

This scenario usually plays out in most conversations we have when someone inquires about what we can do.

It’s time to take your website on a date

Let’s set the scene. What’s the most important thing on a date? To make a good first impression. First impressions will affect how you interact with that person for the rest of the date, and will affect what you think about them until they do something to make you think differently, or until the date ends.

You’re guilty of it, and we’re guilty of it.

Look at it sitting there… left out there in the cold with no one to pay attention to it; forgotten about.  It looks like it hasn’t been updated for months.

That poor, poor, website news feed.

You know you’ve heard it many times before, and we’ve been saying it to our clients, but it’s important to update your website to let others know what you’ve been doing as a company.  We’ve all been to a site with a news feed that has had the last update dated from last year and wondered if the site is still alive.
