It’s mid-December and everyone is busy with year-end preparations. Projects are wrapping up and new ones are kicking off as companies try to execute their 2013 goals or begin to prepare for 2014.

As I push forward through prospect and client discussions, I myself look back at 2013. I think about what we’ve accomplished and I ... Read More

Friday’s Marketing Roundup: Good Reads from the Week Ending November 15th
Ok I'll admit it - we've been really bad at providing our marketing roundups lately. I've been busy and we've been launching new themes and new client websites. For that I apologize and I'm going to try and get back into the habit of writing our roundups each Friday. I've changed the format up a bit and added in a new section for generic goodness. Sometimes the best articles don't have to be about WordPress or SEO. Sometimes they can just be about business. After all, business is what keeps ... Read More

The Magic Potion of Newsletters: WordPress, Gravity Forms and MailChimp
At the start of 2013 I set a goal of actually producing and sending a weekly newsletter. I had been collecting names for months via Constant Contact, but hadn't quite sent anything out. Call it procrastination or time constraints or just a complete distaste for newsletters. I think it was a combination of all three.

The Good and Bad of Google Analytics Real-Time Data
At the end of each web development project, I give each client an hour training session in WordPress. If time allows, I jump over to Google Analytics and show them some of the available reports and data I use for our company.

The Accidental Entrepreneur
I'm the accidental entrepreneur. I did not grow up selling lemonade to neighbors or inventing products to sell to my friends. I just didn't think that way. I went to college and majored in accounting so I could find employment and pay my student loans once I graduated. I wanted a solid job and I wanted a solid income. I wanted to work hard, have a regular paycheck, and I really wanted health insurance. I wanted the stability I lacked as a child and I thought a "good" job would give that to me. ... Read More
