Obviously, if you are an online retailer, the question of selling online is a moot point, but if you have a brick and mortar shop, then it’s something you must consider as another source for revenue.
To make that question online sales a little easier, we have compiled a few points to consider. Read the rest of this entry »

We’ve all seen it… an image on a website that looks small, but takes forever to download (even on a high speed connection). The problem? They are not optimized for the web! Read the rest of this entry »

I know that our readers by no means come to us for advice on where to put their 401k – nor should they. But the point of this article is not to suggest that you should buy MSFT, rather I want to point out the reasons why Microsoft is a good investment and what all of us little guys can learn from them.

Summertime is here… time for travelers and tourists to be out and about, getting away now that school is finally over. For many businesses and small towns it is time to gear up for summer events to attract local tourists seeking the ever popular staycation due to recent economic woes. If you are just starting to plan an event to capture the summer travel business you are likely too late, but for those of you who have already begun, we have compiled a short list of don’ts (and implied do’s) when it comes to promoting and planning your event.

I have had too many occasions recently where I have had clients who need to convert a document to a PDF and did not know how, nor did they have the software. All you small business owners listen carefully: a PDF is a safer and more professional method of sending documents. Read the rest of this entry »

As a business consultant in a technology-related field, I invariably spend time dealing with my clients’ computers and am often slowed by their PC’s inefficiencies. Whether I am showing them something on their PC and waiting for their slow system to load, or they are trying to get me something and it is taking forever, my productivity is unfortunately levered to the speed of their computers.

So, this year we are making some changes that you might find interesting

We have left the old one up without updates for over a year now ,as we were so busy working with clients that we never had the time to devote to it. This year things have changed. More about that in our next post but suffice it to say, our clients have grown and we are growing with them. Here is a list of features that we have included in our new site:
