September 9th, 2011
Local Landing Pages are the next step in branching off from a primary, secondary, or tertiary key phrase optimized website. The trick to doing this is to add relevant content that targets the specific key phrase AND the local area or city you are focusing on.

jQuery & CSS 3: The Flash Killers
June 28th, 2011
Yes. You heard me. As a website developer, I loathe Flash. Not because it doesn't look good, but because it stands for everything I'm not. First off: You can't develop it in Notepad, i.e. it's proprietary. That means you have to have a compiler (Adobe Flash or the equivalent). To me, the web is all about the free exchange of ideas, including the development of such websites. If a 12-year-old boy wants to make his own website, h…

ZGRets | A PHRETS Develpment
May 8th, 2011
Since I began web design in 2004, I've always been curious as to the integration of massive online databases, such as auto dealerships and realtors. My curiosity finally led me back that direction and I'm happy to say, ZGRets was born. Sure, building a PHP RETS connection by myself would have been suicide, and far too complex for the time line I had to complete my project, so I found PHRets - an open source PHP solution to interacting …

Make Sure You Own Your Website!
April 13th, 2011
Technology can be very intimidating and a helping hand is usually sought after quite frequently - even I do it! The problem occurs when a business or organization invests in a website that stays with a webmaster. Sure, not all webmasters are bad, but if the everyone in the web firm died - the business or organization would have no recourse but to build a new one. The primary example of this is when a web firm sells a company an "inexpensi…

Facebook Fan Pages - Are They Worth It?
March 17th, 2011
As a growth-minded web developer, my number one goal is to provide solutions to my clients that really work. I've talked previously about Facebook Fan Pages and mentioned my hesitancy on immediately jumping on the bandwagon. Here's a quick synopsis: Facebook until recently was adjusting the limitations of the Fan Pages regularly. The Fan Page is only the initial landing page that a NEW fan will see. After that, he/she will see the …
