Taking a walk on the Wildside (BBQ that is)

We’re so happy to announce the launch of the new Wildside Bar and Grill website!  We’ve been working with the folks from Wildside for the past several months to build them a dynamic website full of eye candy – take a look and see for yourself what Wildside has to offer.  The newly renovated restaurant features some of the best BBQ in Orlando and live entertainment.  It’s a great place to spend the evening after work or a nice weekend afternoon.  You’ll catch our staff there from time to time –  I love their cheeseburgers!

Are you ready for The FIS Challenge?

Another great website from Florida Insurance Specialists.  We’ve worked on several projects with FIS and they’ve been hugely successful.  I believe it exemplifies the relationship we build with our clients.  To truly understand the client’s vision and not only turn it into a real website, but a real website that works!

Every website we’ve done for FIS has been highly effective at converting leads and generating new business.  Not only do the sites look great- they pay for themselves over and over and over again!

If you’re ready to take the challenge and see if you can save money on your home and auto insurance visit www.challengemyrate.com and let FIS knock out the competition.

5 Tips for Choosing the Right Domain Name

istock_000000738710large

Nearly every day I come to work I help someone choose a domain name… to most people choosing their domain name is a daunting task, here are some tips that will help you to choose the best domain name for you and your business:

  1. Avoid using your name. When you first start out you name is not well known- sure Tom Cruise could get away with www.TomCruise.com, but until you achieve such fame stick with a more descriptive name.
  2. Keep the spelling simple. Avoid using numbers in place of words.
  3. Never trust your domain to a .net, .info, or .biz. Chances are if you customer is working from memory they will visit the .com site instead- driving traffic to a competitor or a non-existent site.
  4. Pick a domain name that describes what you do or your unique value proposition. Consider adding adjectives to the domain if your first choice is not available. For example many people want OrlandoHomes.com, but how about TopOrlandoHomes.com- this domain is just as good.
  5. Hire us! Building your online presence is one of the most important things you can do, and starting off on the wrong foot can be very expensive. Before you print your first order of business cards you should have chosen a domain name you’ll be proud of for years to come.
