A client of ours recently forwarded an email stating that his website’s domain was going to expire.

He knew it was a scam but still wanted to check in with us to ensure his domain was in good standing – it absolutely was.

Holy moly! 2015 is coming to a wrap and it’s been a busy one for us designing websites, graphics, logos and all our other many shenanigans. We love sharing what we know to help small business owners, freelancers and whoever else may benefit from our knowledge – flourish and succeed from our knowledge in their own endeavors.

Sharing means caring and well, we care. It’s always interesting to go through our analytics to see what blog posts perform well and what it is our readers want to learn about. That being said, it appears that SEO is still a huge draw for people looking to improve their website and move it on up in search rankings. Also, it appears that attaching modern day hero figures to blog post titles aids in keeping people interested as well.
