Is Your Website Working for You?
As a professional website designer, I am always amazed at the number of business websites out there that make it nearly impossible to do business with the company via the website.
Here is a list of 5 things that I recommend you check to make sure your website is working for you and not against you.

Women, Men and the Internet
The Internet is a very unique informational format. Used for obtaining information on almost any and all subjects, small business, big business and anything in between. It is a given that learning how to do business on the Internet is tricky and exciting all at the same time. But women and men utilize it differently and as you would expect fulfilling their desires.

How Streaming Media is Similar to Both a Phone and a TV
Do you own one of those cool video phones that let people see each other while they talk? You know, those gadgets that we have been talking about for over 25 years? No, neither do I.
Where are these devices? One could say that our current telephone lines don’t have the bandwidth to support both audio and video, while others may state that people just do not want to see the other person (or more likely, be seen).
