Web Design For Small Businesses: Utah Web Design Team

By Sheila Atwood · Comments (0)
Saturday, May 11th, 2013

As part of a Utah web design team, I love working with small businesses because web design is much much more than just how a website looks.

Although we primarily work in Utah we build websites for any small business.

I also love being a WordPress Designer. Building websites on WordPress makes it easy to teach our clients how to run their own sites.

WordPress allows us to design sites with built in SEO and use plugins that improve SEO.

http://webpressutah.com – Website Magic starts with WordPress Designers Sheila Atwood and Kathy Griffiths.

When we think back to how we got into web design, we actually have to laugh at the tagline we chose for our website, “WebPress Utah: Custom web design and online services.”

Web Site Design Is Not Everything

By Sheila Atwood
Tuesday, June 12th, 2012

As a part of the Web Site Design team, WebPress Utah I am often asked to help re-design websites because the client has a site does not have enough web presence to stand out.

I like to say, “A Web Site Is More Than A Pretty Face.”

A good web site looks fantastic, is easy to navigate and easy to find on the net.

Your potential clients have to be able to find your web site before they can take action.

How Do You Make Your Web Site Work?

Know your target market. Your marketing plan is dependent upon who you are marketing to. Take the time to research your demographics. Who will be buying from you? Know their average age. Know their gender.

Take advantage of the WordPress Platform. WordPress is built to be Search Engine friendly. You might as well be using the most popular platform on the web.

Own your domain name. While doing research for a new Nursery site Read More→

What Are The Chances Of Your Passwords Being Hacked

By Sheila Atwood
Thursday, June 7th, 2012

Recent password hacks at LinkedIn and eHarmony, remind us that are chances of being hacked are pretty good. When one person you know is hacked they make you vulnerable. The LinkedIn and eHarmony hack are perfect examples.

Yesterday afternoon, LinkedIn acknowledged that hackers had obtained access to some of its users’ passwords. It did not reveal an exact number, but at least 6 million of the company’s 161 million member passwords popped up online. Ars Technica later reported that eHarmony might have been involved due to the fact that a large number of the passwords involved the word “harmony” or “eharmony,” and that turned out to be correct.

“A secure passphrase may be the only thing standing between your personal data and those that wish to steal it,” said Jim Walter, manager of McAfee’s Threat Intelligence Service (MTIS). “Password maintenance is simply an unavoidable best practice in today’s digital world.”

Walter urged all users of LinkedIn, and presumably eHarmony, to change their passwords, regardless of whether they were involved in the hack.  PCMag.com —you can read more here.

Avoiding Business Blogging Clichés, Sh*t Business Bloggers Say

By guest author
Tuesday, May 29th, 2012

Guest post contributed for Compendium.com by Tammy Harper. Tammy is a freelance writer. She contributes to a variety of sites, related to business blogging.

Business Blog Posts

Business Blog Posts Business blog posts can sometimes seem like nothing more than a mouthful of corporate mishmash that makes no sense to the ordinary reader. Or, even worse, people know exactly what the post means, but want to slap the writer upside the head for being so bland and uncreative.

A general principle of quality business blogging is that it should be unique and creative; unfortunately, many bloggers seem to rely on clichés in nearly every post. If you write a business blog, you can be confident that these phrases can be safely purged from your writing in almost all cases.
