Google video about categories and tags
Matt Cutts from Google made a little Youtube video in which he discusses adding tags and categories from a search engine perspective. He says that Google can tell what your post is about, so tags aren’t needed. However, some aggregators use categories to show up in different feeds, so they are quite useful.
We build websites on WordPress, which means search engines can easily find out what the crux of your website is. I’d like to reiterate that any posts that you write, must be written for your website visitors (and not search engines). If your visitors find tags and categories handy, say for navigating or searching for related content, then add them in a thoughtful way. Otherwise, you don’t need to ;-) Check out the video below.
Putting the cost of web design into perspective
In our opinion, the cost of our web design starter kit is very fair. We’ve kept the hours needed to design and build a website to a minimum, which suits most people’s needs.
There is room for a few changes, but if you want to try more options, like a different colour here or another font there, or perhaps change the layout again, then these changes will be charged for separately on an hourly basis. A fair method for everyone!
We’d also like you to consider the functionality that you’re getting with your website – a content management system (CMS) with full interactivity for your visitors. Continue reading

Professional vs. Self-Build Websites
Why get a professionally-built website?

How to Change a Hosting Provider
If you need to move your website to a different hosting provider for technical reasons, such as the current hosting package doesn’t meet the minimum requirements needed for a CMS website, or if you’ve found a better hosting provider that you’d like to move your website to, then you first need to check the termination clause in the contract with your existing hosting provider.

Internet Video’s
Adding videos to a website really makes it seem to come alive. Professional videos are able to get your message across far more quickly than what a person can read on your website, providing extra information and credibility about products or services. They offer a “human touch” to the people visiting your website. Continue reading
Forums & Blogs (web logs)
Another way to get links to your website is to join forums and blogs in your field of expertise. By offering useful information that other visitors will find helpful and interesting, you can establish yourself as an authority in the field. This should not be used as a marketing trick! Most forums and blogs require people to log in and to create a profile, which is where you can add a link to your website. Continue reading
