HAPPY NATIONAL INVENTORS MONTH!

Born on May 17, 1940, American computer scientist Alan Kay is considered to be the “Father of Personal Computers”. In the 1970’s Kay invented the Dynabook, a key progenitor of laptops, tablets, and the e-book. Additionally, he was the architect of the modern overlapping windowing graphical user interface (GUI) and led the team that created the programming languages Smalltalk and Squeak.

In 2004, he was awarded the ACM A.M. Turing Award, aka the “Nobel Prize of Computing”.

"You unlock this door with the key of imagination. Beyond it is another dimension: a dimension of sound, a dimension of sight, a dimension of mind. You’re moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas. You’ve just crossed over into… the Twilight Zone." - Rod Serling, 'The Twilight Zone'

Sometimes being online as a small business owner can feel like you're living in another dimension, but with the right team and a little imagination we think anyone can make it out of the Twilight Zone.

MOTHER'S DAY SPOTLIGHT: Judith Love Cohen (b. 1933 - d. 2016) was an electrical and aerospace engineer who worked on the Minuteman missile, the science ground station for the Hubble Space Telescope, the Tracking and Data Relay Satellite, and the Apollo Space Program. She is most famous for co-creating the Abort-Guidance System which rescued the Apollo 13 astronauts.

And she did it all while being a full-time mother.

On the day she went into labor Love Cohen brought along a printout of the problem she was working on to the hospital. She called in the solution - and the birth announcement of her son Jack Black - from the hospital later that day.

Yes, that Jack Black.

“Difficult to see; always in motion is the future.” - Yoda, 'The Empire Strikes Back'

In 1977, no one knew that Star Wars would explode across the entertainment industry, fundamentally changing how companies build their brands to reach audiences. Star Wars was simply a guy with a great idea. That said, movies cannot be made on a great ideas alone. George Lucas had to assemble the right team to tell the best story.

Thank you to all CAST and CREW—past, present, and future—who have built an Empire!

So many questions about SEM!!! There are so many levels that go into successful google ads.

Having a website that is set up with strong SEO from the beginning assists in lowering the cost of your ads (your dollars go further). Having a website that is custom TO YOU also assists in that.

All of that being done prior to spending your hard earned money on SEM is one of the best ways to have successful Ads.

Enjoy todays posting prompt! What made you start your business?

We saw a lack of options for small businesses in the realm of tech. Small companies either had to pay 10k for a functional website, have someone on staff for tech and social media, or struggle along with the few affordable but awful options out there. We help fill in the gap that small businesses need filled!

We can build functional sites for less than larger companies because we keep our overhead intentionally low. We offer managed services to give small businesses the experience and knowledge of high end tech support at a cost thats reasonable to them. We even offer lower cost options for social media posting that are hands off to our clients.

Why did you start your business?

Why is working with a web developer so important?

Because they understand the history, the process to its core, they can fix the issues that are bound to arise.

Someone who is JUST a designer can make a site that looks nice, even someone who is technically inclined could manage that; but a site that is FUNCTIONAL is so important. Having a site that your customers can actually find you on, can actually buy from you, can actually contact you from is the number 1 piece of the puzzle.

FAQ: Why are videos so important to marketing my business?

There are a few reasons, but number 1 is growing your brand awareness. You really get to show off exactly what makes your company special, talk about it, show your products, and make content that tells people more about why you do what you do.

Another huge reason is higher ranking in your SEO (utilizing platforms like YouTube) and capitalizing on the growing popularity on Instagram Reels and TikTok.

If you want to grow, this is one of the best things you can do to start. Be short, be personable, and have fun!

Some of the most important parts of a website are the ones you don’t even know are happening.

Keeping a consistent brand will keep people on your site longer, functionality keeps people using your site over others, and accessiblity keeps your site available to even more clients.

These “best practices” are exactly what we put into all of our client sites. We always have and always will.
