Sustainability trends that are changing the business landscape

Recently, we launched a new DBA.  Because we registered it with the City, it was avilable for all those who market to new businesses.  Within days a flurry of junk mail ensued and no less than 4 telephone books showed up.  In the Age of the Internet, why on earth are we producing telephone books and more importantly why are we chopping down trees so that I can recive 4 new telephone books?  It was a DBA, which means I already have the other telephone books from the existing business.

There is a weird glitch with 1and1 that doesn’t allow you to automatically upgrade the WordPress. I decided to upgrade it manually causing all kinds of problem,s not the least of my own stupidity on not backing up first – yea, I know! While I didn’t have high expectations, I figured maybe I’d get lucky and they might be helpful. I called tech support, and lo behold I talking to a call center in the Philippines. I explained the compatibility issue with WordPress and the resulting errors. The agent...

We’ve been busy. One of the projects was a new website for Barry-Hill Realtors. The client was looking to increase online visibility. We opted for a WordPress blog and iRealEstate theme.

Building in Joomla!

Building in Joomla! MediationSF wanted a professional looking site that wasn’t too flashy. We opted for a Joomla CMS platform with a Vintage Themed Template. Very simple and elegant.

Any user with basic word processing skills can update it by adding content, managing images and keeping company critical data up-to-date via a simple, hosted browser-based dashboard. Search engine friendly URLs; On-line Administration; Large developer Community; Lots of cool Plug-Ins Related articles by Zemanta Joomla And WordPress: A Matter Of Mental Models (smashingmagazine.com) Microsoft...
