New Partners

gainesville appsWe’ve partnered up with PWH Tech Solutions – one of Gainesville’s premier IT companies – to build some great new apps and web programs. We wish we could tell you all about it but things are pretty hush-hush right now. Suffice it to say that these are huge projects that will benefit people and businesses alike. We’re investing mountains of time and energy into building what will hopefully become successful apps.  Nothing in guaranteed in the app world though – in many ways it is more difficult to make a successful app than it is to build a brick and mortar business. It may be ‘cheaper’ to make but there is so much competition out there that nothing is for certain. The same rules apply for apps, web programs, really any online business – as for traditional businesses, it takes hard work, promotion, all of those things that make a business work are also in play when you’re dealing with the web. There’s no shortcut unfortunately.

Anyway, we’ve got some new partners, and we’re stoked. Looking forward to years of happy web design and app building with PWH!

What is Lorem Ipsum?

Lorem ipsum is simply Latin text. Gobbledygook, essentially. Well, not really; It does have its roots in latin text from just before the BC to BCE line, so that puts it around 2000 years old. Past that, it’s gibberish.  Sometimes web developers need filler text to create web
