New Customer – Old Timer & Lily
I keep spelling Lily as Lilly. Probably because of my last name, but I think that I got all of those fixed. I think Old Timer & Lily is a very nice functional site. Susan had a store on safeshopper.com and they sent a notice that they were closing. She needed a secure shopping cart […]
Design For Human Visitors
I was reading a post called “When is Usability More Important than SEO?” by Stoney deGeyter. Before I even started to read I said to myself it always is.

Marketing 101 – try your best to get it right
I got a birthday email from one of my neighborhood restaurants, Minutellos for a free bottle of wine. They have a rewards program. I got the same email last year, but it came a month later. I still had the wine and mentioned it was a little late. Not much, just a word and this […]

Another Good Reason To Have a Blog
I wrote yesterday about having a blog or newsletter. Then yesterday I discovered something else that I really like about having this blog. It’s the search feature. I can use it to send a targeted list of my work to people with a single link. For example, I have quite a few cities on my […]
Should I Have A Blog Or Newsletter?
I often advise my customers that the best way to add more content to their sites is to start a blog and/or a newsletter. Of course, most of these people are busy running their business and many don’t think they have enough time to do one let alone both both. So the question is which […]
