Web Hosting

Scott Grodberg — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 21:59:38 +0000

Web hosting is the keeping of a website on the internet, and all that involves.

Security
Backups
Maintenance

Web hosting, as opposed to web design, is a systematic, calculated process. Security is self-tested, backups are scheduled.

We believe web hosting should fade into the background, leaving only the website, always-available and responsive, to face its customers.

Social Media Marketing

Social media marketing is the process of building brand awareness or a company following. This leads to increased attention for the business, and an increase in website traffic.

SMM is a cost-effective technique that focuses on providing timely and relevant offers or information to potential customers through social networks. A company’s message resonates because it comes by word-of-mouth from a trusted representative, instead of the business entity itself.

Social Media Marketing, like our WordPress self-publishing platform, is within easy reach of business owners with internet service.

Domain Name Registrar

Scott Grodberg — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 19:08:24 +0000

The domain name registrar is an organization accredited by ICANN and the top-level domain registry to manage the reservation of internet domain names. Registrars provide facilities to buy, sell, transfer, and assign nameservers for domain names.

Domain Name Registrant

The domain name registrant is the account holder to whom a domain name is registered. It is important that the email on file for the registrant is actively monitored, since it may be used by the registrar to send important service updates and expiry notices.

The Registrant is the account holder for the name alone, and no legal ownership of the business is implied.

Domain Name Transfer

Domain name transfer is the transferring of a domain name from one registrant to another (“Ownership” transfer) or from one registrar to another. This may be done to give the administrating party more control over nameservice, which in turn gives more fine-grained control over the services used by the domain.

The transfer may also be done to have the new registrant monitor domain renewal dates. This keeps your domain name safe, preventing fraudulent transfer and expiration.

If a domain name does expire, nameservice may be suspended by the registrar for 2-6 weeks, rendering the associated website inoperable. After the waiting period, the name will go back to the pool of publicly available names.

We handle the design and training aspect of social media marketing so that you can can get your message across and look professional doing it.

In the spirit of empowerment, we’re also going to publish a template for business owners that want to tackle their own Facebook page design. The template is here.

CSS

Scott Grodberg — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 20:45:14 +0000

Cascading Style Sheets are the files responsible for the presentation of a website. All rules that affect the visual formatting are stored in these files. This lets the developer keep style information in a separate place from the content.

This separation strategy benefits the owner of the website, who will not have to worry about accidentally disturbing the design of a website or “breaking anything”. Other strengths are caching and theming.

Responsive Web Design

Scott Grodberg — Sun, 08 Jan 2012 22:33:36 +0000

Building on liquid layouts and elastic images is responsive web design. Well-documented by Ethan Marcotte, this technique uses the media-query element of css to vary the number and width of columns in a design based on the size of the device that is viewing it.

Domain Name

Scott Grodberg — Thu, 29 Sep 2011 21:55:29 +0000

A domain name is what a customer might type into a browser to access your website directly. For example www.domainname.com

It defines a realm of administrative or authoritative control over industry and location-specific subject matter.

Compared to the numeric addresses assigned to websites (IPs), domain names are easier to remember. They may also incorporate branding, and even keywords.

Domain names are purchased or administered by a registrant at a domain name registrar.
