Tips on Researching a Web Hosting Service

May 2nd, 2011

Once you have narrowed your search for an affordable web hosting service down to the ones who offer the features you want, and to the ones who offer the price you like, you can do a little further research by checking their terms of service and see exactly what support types they provide for their customers.

Go to the page on their web site that lists their support forums, and their FAQ’s. Read what is there to see what issues other customers deal with most frequently, and how the hosting company has dealt with the different issues. This can give you a good idea of how you are going to be treated as a customer with a problem.

Research the company with the BBB and see what kind of complaints, if any have been lodged against them in the past, and how those complaints were addressed. Go to review sites and see what others are saying about their experience at that company, both good and bad. It will not take you very long to see which hosts had red flag warning signs that you could not ignore, and which companies appear to practice good business with their customers. Your choice will then be easy to make.

November 15th, 2010

That doesn’t mean you have to hire full time staff, and turn from the doer into the manager you always hated.  A more flexible, cheaper, and nimble alternative is outsourcing.  Or basically, hiring contractors to do the work.  At least that’s what we used to call it.  While you may have your own personal core competencies, I’m sure there are a few things that could be left to the experts.  After all, just because your a great architect, doesn’t mean you should be designing and marketing your own website.  You could outsource SEO work for instance, and spend a bit more time on planning for the next fiscal year.  SEO is a tricky, constantly changing business, and it makes sense to leave it to experts.   A growing company, si a good problem to have actually, what’s really important, is how you deal with it.

The Benefits Of A Good Logo Design

November 1st, 2010

When it comes to putting content up on your website, never underestimate the smallest of details.  Putting up the perfect viral content, is just as important as coming up with a good logo design for the site.  While it it may not seem like a big deal at first, remember that many people are visual learners, and the web is literally awash with imagery these days.  There are so many hundreds or thousands of words that just get skimmed over, it’s easy to forget the impression of a striking logo.  You’ll want not just a logo that looks good, and conveys a message about your site, or your company, or your personality.  You want a logo that makes a lasting impression.  Something that sticks in the viewers mind.  It’s easy to skip over the details of an article, but a good visual logo will stick in your visitors mind long after they’ve left your site.

Obviously, this is not a job to be left to an amateur, or your cousin, or your spouse, or your kid that just figured out how to use the latest online graphics package.  You want someone skilled not only in the graphics design tools, but you want a logo designer that knows how to use imagery to convey your message, and make a great impression on your visitors.  A logo design doesn’t have a lot of real estate to work with, so your designer needs to be both effecient, intelligent, and a good communicator.  Keeps these things in mind when your shopping around.

The Watch Company Sly Stallone Saved

March 16th, 2010

Believe it or not, a manufacturer of fine wristwatches, currently one of the most popular (and expensive) brands on the market today, was essentially rescued from obscurity by Sylvester Stallone. The action film star, most famous for his roles in the “Rocky” and “Rambo” films, was in Italy in 1995 filming a movie called “Daylight” when he came across a unique looking timepiece in a Rome jewelry store. It was a Panerai.

Today, Panerai watches are so popular you can find Radiomir imitation watches all over the internet, but less than twenty years ago that level of popularity would have seemed like an impossible dream for the brand. The Panerai watch company was begun all the way back in 1860 by the eponymous Giovanni Panerai in Florence, Italy. Eventually the brand became the gold standard of Italian chronometers and was used by the Royal Italian Navy to outfit their commandos during the Second World War. After the war, Italy was in chaos and the brand seemingly lowered manufacturing standards to become more affordable to the general consumer. Whatever may have happened, the light had faded and Panerai had become a shadow of its former self.

…until the day Sly Stallone picked one up.

Mr. Stallone said as soon as he saw the watch he knew it had “Star Power” and decided to wear it in his upcoming film. Afterwards, he had them custom-make a special edition with his signature on the back and gave them to friends, including another then-action-film-star and current Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger. The exposure breathed new life into the Panerai brand and inadvertently created a market for replica Panerai timepieces in addition to the real thing.

Today, Panerai has a contract to make branded Ferrari wristwatches and is considered one of the best and most stylish chronometers on the market. Their look is unique and distinctly Italian, although they are now largely manufactured in Switzerland.
