We live in a society where slow-paced living is not much endorsed or encouraged. Everything about our culture is go, go, go — from our ‘fast food’ to living in the ‘fast lane’, there isn’t much value or emphasis put on slow and steady investment. But truly, that is the game-winning variable in most real worth-while goals. The majority of the things that we truly want in this world require long-term investment. Whether we want to lose 20 pounds, or whether we want to learn a musical instrument — it is slow and steady commitment that really pays off in the end. Speed reading, speed dieting, speed...

One thing that is commonly misunderstood is that by having a website, the job is done. There is the misnomer that you are able to simply step back and watch the visitors roll in now that you’ve built such a wonderful and beautiful thing. But this is simply not the truth! You can have a great website with great content — even a great purpose, but you may still be lacking in traffic if you are not taking note of other very important aspects of the web-world also! Building your website is simply Step #1. Granted, building a website is an in-depth process that can be complex and very time consuming. However, the sum-game is that...

With the US economy going up and down and with the economy of the EU struggling as well, this is a hard time to be a small business owner. At SGD we understand what it is like running a small business — our web and creative firm requires management just as any other business might. But because of this we are able to identify and understand some of the struggles small businesses are currently going through. One thing we have learned is that the most important thing you can do is to stick with it. Small businesses are more likely to fail in their first years not because their markets couldn’t be reached or because their products...

What makes a good website? What’s truly the best SEO strategy? The answer to these questions has mostly to do with the one thing people seem to overlook the most — Quality Content. If your website is designed as a “cheap fix” to gain traffic, than in the long run, you may be selling yourself short. This could be analogous to a person using a fad diet to lose weight — they may get slightly closer to their goal — but in the long run, there isn’t a sustainable path. Developing a website is very similar. The key to getting a better page ranking or higher visibility has to do with the single fact that...

When you really sit down and think about it — what exactly “is” a website? At SGD we really have thought about this question and we believe: Your website is a medium between your customers and information about your products, information about your business, or a gathering place for the exchange of ideas. Your website is really an intermediate — a tool — to guide people to what it is your message or services are. At SmartGuys Design, we work to identify what it is truly you need your website for. Is it to market your products? Is it to provide consumers with information on how to find the physical location of...
