Netgear Routers Are Terrible
Why did we purchase this product for our office? What a mistake. Range on this router is about 4 feet before the signal drops off significantly. Speeds are sketchy and we experienced significant slowdown periods throughout the day. Connections lost – impromptu port disabling, you name it. If there is ever a “rise of the machines” […]
Better Than Notepad: Notepad ++
We love this little program. It’s a replacement for Notepad called Notepad++. It’s like notepad on steroids. Lots of new, useful functions – essentially, everything Microsoft neglected to put into their product,; open source, once again, has provided a better alternative. Easy find/replace functions, even in files so no need to know exactly where the […]
Conversion Optimization
So many people have a myopic outlook on SEO and SEM. They tend to focus on optimization as strawberry field, where you can just pick a little fruit from here or there and fill up your basket. Not so fast. It’s not just about having a full basket, it’s about the quality of those berries. […]
Moving Your Website To A New Host
Sometimes it’s easy, most of the time it is not. What a headache! If you’ve moved hosts and domains several times you’re probably an old hand at it; if not, you’re in trouble. You’ll probably need the assistance of someone that has some experience in this area. Choosing a Hosting Provider This is important folks. […]
Javascript called by PHP
Interesting little snippet. What is going on here? Livewire gives you the low down. if($num_rowvs == 0){ echo ‘<script>// <![CDATA[ alert(“This is an alert message. I’m alerting you that you are totally awesome!”); // ]]></script>’; } First, we’re creating a simple if statement in PHP. Not entirely necessary, but prbobably the most common setup. […]
Review: Google Chrome – StayFocusd ★★★★★
We. Love. This. Chrome extension. Warning: It’s brutal. Stayfocusd is essentially a task manager, not as in manage what task is next, but keeps you focused on your tasks at hand. It blocks websites that waste your time and keep you distracted through a time limit feature. You set the limit – give yourself 10 […]
Is PPC Advertising Worth It?
The answer is: it depends. In our experience it really comes down to your industry, your ad’s effectiveness and … dum de dum dum … money. First, your industry should be visible online in the first place. Holly’s Bakery is probably going to do fine on Google ads or Facebook but John’s Elder Entertainment Center […]
The Low Down on Net Neutrality
What they heck is it? Most people don’t know it past the slogan .. and that’s what it is, a slogan. Net neutrality does not mean ‘left alone”, there’s nothing laissez faire about it. It does mean oversight, more oversight of the Internet than currently exists. The advocating net neutrality want all data to be […]
Fraternity Management Has a New Website
Fraternity management needed something up quickly and something that was affordable. Glad to know that they chose us as their Gainesville Web Design team. Additional to the website they requested a simple program that managed their payment modules. As experienced PHP developers, we were able to quickly put something together at no additional charge. Our […]
Review: PHP Live Chat ★★★★
4 Stars for this chat system from GNTStudio. It’s quite useful and very easy to install. We’re actually planning to use it on our own website we like it so much. They lose one star because we had to modify a bit too much to get things to work like we wanted but they can’t […]
