You’re website is up and running promoting your business 24/7 so you’re done right? Before the social media age (Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest etc…) and before there were a trillion websites added to the internet that was possible.
Besides making updates to the website to keep it fresh with new and relevant data, another key component is to make sure you have social media tied into it in some form or fashion.
Many small businesses and organizations are faced with this need at some point. Unless you are a large firm, you probably do not have IT staff, nor a professional Web Designer available to leverage.
When hiring out a web design company, you can go with a large company or find a firm locally. Much of it depends on your budget.
A large web design company generally will need to be much more expensive due to having multiple hands involved in the project, generally extending the schedule and costs involved.
It seems like whenever there is a major virus outbreak or vulnerability announced, such as the Heartbleed vulnerability, scammers and malicious hackers are not too far behind trying to cash in on the moment and innocent.
Here is a phishing email (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phishing) recently received in one of my not-so-important email accounts. One that is used mainly for signing up for things like demos of products or coupons and promo codes.
Usually those places end up re-selling your email account, thus increase spam/phishing emails directed to that account. So I never use any of my main/important email accounts in those situations and neither should you.
Below is the subject and body of the message, along with a screen capture of what it looked like.
SUBJECT OF SPAM MESSAGE: Heartbleed/OpenSSL vulnerability: password change recommended
BODY OF SPAM MESSAGE: (hyperlinks removed for precaution)
When working with a web designer company, such as Northwoods Web Designs, we make sure your site is designed and created to meet your expectations and make sure 3 key pieces of information are presented well on the site for visitors.
Because you know your business and service offerings the best, all content is provided by the client for any website developments.This is the general direction of any website designer company.
Content writing is very important to a website. Not having good content on a great looking and professional designed website is like having a Toyota Prius 4 cylinder motor stuffed inside a Chevy Corvette. It will look great, but its performance will not be on par.
