We’re happy to announce that we continue to move our customers from hosting their e-mail solution on our servers to the wonderful services that Google offers with their Google Apps offerings! Most of our customers are satisifed with their free (standard) offering.

Why do we do this for them? It’s simple. We want our customers to have the most accessible and spam-free e-mail solution available, and that lies with Google! Also, this reduces the network traffic and server load for their websites to run smoothly and efficiently!

Some of these happy customers are:

  • Us, naturally!
  • Schafer Development (they use Google’s premium service, $$$)
  • Eagle River Group
  • Legacy of America
  • Thread Designs (they use Google’s premium service, $$$)
  • M8k Cents Lending
  • Click on Couture
  • AAA Floor Sanding
  • State Barricades
  • Vision Specialists of Birmingham (our first!!)

We’re pleased to announce the launch of the new Legacy of America website. Our clients had a website built in an old CMS called PostNuke that was running in an environment that was outdated, PHP4.

Like some of our recent work, the new Legacy of America website is built in WordPress CMS and utilizes a number of great plugins. Empowering our clients to make changes to their website not only puts them in the driver’s seat, but it lowers their overall development costs. Great for them, not so great for us. However, one of our mottos is: Empower your customers and they’ll keep coming back for more work.

We’re sticking true to what we said with announcing sites as we launch them. Please stop by and tell us what you think.

We wanted to tell you about the latest website we launched just today! Our clients had an old and outdated website with barely any functionality and nothing dynamic about it. This is no longer the case.

The new http://www.LushLawn.net website is built in WordPress CMS and utilizes a number of great plugins developed by the wonderful Open Source WordPress Development Community. Our clients are thrilled about their ability to control their own site, collect the data that they need and to easily keep the site updated with new information, pictures, documents, etc., and you know what? We’re thrilled for them!

Please stop by and visit and also, as always, let us know what you think. Also stayed tuned for a few more announcements and site launches this week, as we’ve cranking sites out all winter long!
