The answer is a resounding YES! The internet has provided businesses with an avenue to market their company 24/7. The size of your company in no way is a measure of how much you will benefit from the use of a website. It does not matter if your company consists of thousands of employees or if it's you and you alone, if you don't have a website then you are losing business to those companies that do. If you think just having a website is enough your wrong. In order to be taken seriously you must present a professional-looking site. According to Tim Knox of Entrepreneur.com "It's actually better to have no website at all than to have one that makes your business look bad."
We provide many different methods that can be used when updating a website. For smaller web sites consisting of just a few pages with occasional changes it can be more cost effective to simply ask us to make the changes for you and go with a static site.
For clients with more dynamic websites, we offer a range of solutions inclduing our customized Thinking2 CMS online content management system, WordPress, InfusionSoft, and more
Shopping cart and eCommerce sites can be controlled with either our Thinking2 CMS or our solutions partners BigCommerce and Shopify.
A static web site consists of pages where each page is a separate HTML, CSS or Javascript document. The page's content ise not saved in a database but actually written within the code, which means that each page's code must be individually altered each time you wish to make a change.
By utilizing a dynamic site you can reduce ongoing maintenance costs if you don't want to change things yourself with a webpage editor or with the HTML. The dynamic site allows you to make content changes as you see fit without altering the design layout, as well as organizes your sites data so that as your site get larger it can be more efficient and easily expandable. These sites usually cost more to develop, as they require more complex coding and a content management utility needs to be developed to help you manage your website information, but the customization to streamline you company's processes is invaluable.

There can be many reasons for why your emails are not being delivered
First, read the bottom of your returned email for any information about why the email was returned.� If you require us to investigate the reason for the returned email please contact us at [email protected] with the email attached.
Spam filtering is based on a set of scores, values, statistics, and 3rd party checking that changes hourly. We could list numerous reasons why someones email one day works, and the next day it doesn't. The most common reasons are the sending mail server has been blacklisted (which all mail servers, including ours, check before accepting) or the content of the message, its graphics, and subject, together have been calculated as spam by the detection engines.
The best approach is to whitelist any client you may suspect as being flagged, although this will not help in a blacklist situation. You can submit a WHITELIST request for legitimate senders to you at [email protected].

SSL (Secure Socket Layer) is the protocol by which a web browser is able to make a secure and encrypted connection with the a web server.� This secure link travels through an encrypted connection that allows your information to remain private over the public internet.
In order for this connection to occur, web servers require an SSL Certificate.� The SSL Certificate� generally includes your domain name, your company name and information.� It is will also display the the company that issued the certificate as well as the certificate's expiration date.
If your site is equipped with SSL for visitor protection due to Members Areas or Payment Processing then you will need to keep your certificate up to date.� When a browser attempts to make a connection with a secure site it will use the SSL Certificate to verify that the certificate is valid.� If it fails the browser will display a warning to the end user letting them know the site is no longer secured by an active SSL.
Bandwidth is the amount of data that is allowed to be uploaded and downloaded from your website.� While you are not limited by the amount of visitors to your site, you are limited to how much data is transferred depending on your Hosting Plan.� The monthly allowance of your bandwidth is based on your chosen plan and is offered in various increments from 200GB to ___.

Having your site indexed by a search engine, and having it rank highly, is a mix of many factors.� The most common and basic approach is to simply submit your site to each search engine such as Google or Yahoo.� This will just inform the search engine that they should index your site, (if they haven't already) it does not guarantee placement on the results page.� In order to place highly in the search engine ranking it is important to consider a number of factors such as keywords, metatags, links, and content placement.� Thinking2 can provide Search Engine Optimization (SEO) packages to help your site reach an increased number of internet users.
Google defines spiders as a program that automatically fetches web pages and feeds them to search engines. (It's called a "spider" because it crawls around the web.) Because most web pages contain links to and from other pages, a spider can start almost anywhere. As soon as it recognizes a link to another page, it goes off and fetches it. Large search engines have many spiders working simultaneously. Also known as a crawler.
Once a search engine has gathered a site's data and analyzed it the site is said to be indexed. To see whether your site is in the Google index, search Google for site:yourdomain.com.
Your IP address can aid in troubleshooting. A Google search of "What is my IP?" will get your individual address.
