Making Your Website Stand Out!

Think having a generic website is enough to get your business off the ground and growing? If you've been in business for 30+ years and do all word-of-mouth clientèle, then maybe. If not, you're kidding yourself. Having a website is just as important as having a business card and brochures to give to clients and networkers. The quality of your website will speak miles about you as business, even before a client calls to speak wit…

Using Social Media In Your Online Marketing

The marketing paradigm has forever changed due to the blossoming of social media. Gone are the faceless companies, branded to the extreme with million dollar marketing budgets and flashy CEOs. As Big Business lines up to go bankrupt, begging Congress for bailouts and promises of restored jobs for America, the little business is now primed to flourish. Why? I, for one, am tired of dealing with the Wal-Marts of the business world, and as their C…

ZakGraphix not only put together a customized ecommerce website for Extreme MMA Gear, but also completely rebooted his branding - logo and everything! Our marketing solution started turning heads, and Extreme MMA Gea…

How Do I Start A Website For Free?

Trust me on this one, it's more costly to develop a website for free than it is to actually invest small monetary amounts in key areas. As a developer and engineer for over seven years, I will tell you my opinions, but also give you the tools you need to try building your own website for free. WordPress Blogs The first thing I'd recommend doing is trying your hand at running a WordPress Blog/Website. There are a few key reasons to star…

Proper Logo Design - Effective Branding

Know When Your Branding Is Amiss. How's your logo? Do you wake up in the morning, kiss your spouse, turn off the alarm and say, "Wow, my business has a great logo!" If you don't find yourself with this quandary, you may want to run through this list: Is Your Over-All Design Obscure? Does Your Logo Have a Clichéd and Unoriginal Design?

St. Louis Web Design for Carpet Care Plus

Larry and Robin McQueen needed a new website. Sure, there was the old phone number and lack of information about their amazing carpet cleaning services, but that was nothing compared to the desparate need for a re-visioning of their company branding. We took their website and re-visioned it with the dynamic flare they wanted and needed! Carepet Care Plus is located in O'Fallon Illinios and they service the entire St. Louis and St. Louis Me…

IDX vs RETS: The Revolution Begins

Let's be candid about one thing. IDX was the solution every realtor needed about 10 years ago. Sure, it was better than all the hands-on work that was done to compile and display local MLS data, but as technology advances there comes a time to say goodbye to the old and in with the new. Enter RETS. Sure, we at ZakGraphix are thrilled at using a language that is a million times more developer friendly and flexible, but that is not the prima…

Is Joomla a Good CMS?

If you are new to content management systems, you might get lost when you try to use Joomla. While one of the most powerful open-source CMS platforms available today, Joomla is very complex. Some professional web designers and developers love using it, but once turned over to the client, many businesses and business owners find themselves overwhelmed by the many screens necessary to complete simple website modification tasks. At ZakGraphix we …

Creating a Custom WordPress Website

The great thing about a website developed in the WordPress environment is that it is extremely inexpensive. The only thing you need is a domain name and hosting. The rest is entirely up to your imagination, a little knowledge of HTML & CSS, and access to Adobe Photoshop. From my own experience, a WordPress site can do nearly everything an HTML site can do, from amazing designs to complex content layout, JavaScript/Ajax integration, databas…

Anyone Can Make A Website!

This is actually a very true statement. In fact, anyone can also build a house, paint a portrait, and even perform surgery - however, it may not be up to the same standards of quality that a professional construction worker, a classical painter, and a neurosurgeon could perform. The same is true for a website, but!!.... don't let that discourage you from trying! If you actually are interested in making a website, first start learning HTML.…

Cheap Logos

I think I'd better start off by saying - if you've already procured a cheap logo and are happy with it, then God bless you. Logo design is such a hard market to corner when it comes to being a graphic designer. Unless your name is on the Nike Swish, you probably won't be able to run an entire business based solely off logo design. The profit margin is incredibly small for larger companies and usually used to entice you into buying …

From E-commerce to Blogging, the world wide web has made an impression on our world that has only begun to unfurl. Web development has evolved to become a rather robust and competitive culture and and ever expanding market. In the early 90's, if you threw together a…

GrowSmartBiz Conference

Okay, so I'm not going to promote NetSol on ZakGraphix, but I just have to say how exciting it is that my logo design is being displayed at a nation-wide conference.  The GrowSmartBiz Conference is Netsol's attempt at making themselves a household name by investing back into the business community. Sure, it's noble. I for one and glad to see them take this turn. With all the recent bad press, I was beginning to get worried. Bu…
