Even if your company or business consists of only one person—that's ok. The professional multitaskers (formerly known as Jack-of-all-trades) can now be efficient, highly productive, successful businesses. By the way, your marketplace is now global because of the Internet. No matter where you are located, whether you have a retail location, offices, or work from home, you have access to the world. It's up to you how far out you care to travel.

So—how valuable is your website? If you are not sure, we would be happy to help you determine that and provide the ways to improve it.

I was recently at a meeting with a client and asked the question, “How often should a website be redesigned”?

That’s a great question. There is no short answer except that if it is working for you—leave it alone- well, at least the part(s) that work, there is always room for improvement. Just be careful not to undo or overdo. Now, as a person that owns a company that designs websites, and re-designs websites, the answer really depends on some basics.

Oh for Pete’s sake- would you all stop adding your websites to other directory sites? Let me spell it out for you. G-O-O-G-L-E  That’s it–no need to be in any others.

You get what you pay for. It applies to most situations. Remember that when looking for a designer or design company to design your next website. How long have they been in business? How many sites are in their portfolio? Do they have references? Are they TOO inexpensive? Many clients wind up coming to us after spending thousands on a website they don't like, and that doesn't work for them.

I recently read on several SEO "Experts" websites that they intend to submit their client’s websites to "hundreds" of search engines. Some say 200, some say 400. So I ask the question, does anyone know more than three or four search engines? Probably not, so what is the sense of continuing the practice of submitting to hundreds of search engines? Please let me know, I don't have an answer.

Here's a foolproof tip on how to take years off your "look"- and it is so simple. It doesn't cost a thing. There are no dangerous side effects. No recovery time. No pills or creams. Here it is...
